Whatever the 360 camera is, the important thing is to always bring a 360 camera, especially on vacation, and get unexpected miracles from the photos and videos. Oh yeah, I'm still using Insta360 One RS and I'm very happy to have this camera
Thank you so much for the comparison! You have put so much effort in it and its very well edited and paced.
For me personally, the Insta 360 One RS was the way to go for an all-around versatile camera, especially for on-the-go personal use. If you're going for the 360 option, you will be buying the twin pack, so out of the box, you've already got some variety, and you can extend this by purchasing the 1-inch sensor. Admittedly the form factor of the One RS is both a benefit and disadvantage. Its condensed size makes it suitable to use as a traditional action camera as its smaller size allows it to be mounted without protruding; however, for handheld 360 shooting, you're really going to need to carry around a selfie stick.
Fantastic comparison thank you 💚
All the Specs on screen was super neat
Buyer beware if you use the OneRS 360 1" edition for video in bright sun, anytime the sun shines on side of camera a large red reflection of sensor will appear in video on opposite side of camera in shape of rectangle. Insta360 support informed me it is inherent in camera design and to avoid using the camera in bright light 🌞 to avoid my video being ruined by the red reflection. Great camera though for images. OK for video if never in the sun or if in sun you postion camera in stationary location and point one lens at the sun to avoid sun shining on side of camera/lens. If moving around during video recording in the sun and turning in different directions (bike, skateboard, car) the red reflection will appear and ruin some of your videos if subject is in the rectangle area when sun shines on side of camera.
I think you’re referring to the lens flare- all 360 cameras will do this in bright sun unfortunately.
Hi Marcus, I have the same effect on virtual tours. Very disappointing. Especially because I do not have this effect with my very very cheap Elecom ocam-vrw01bk. (Cost me NEW! 70US$). In addition I have to say that there is no upgrade into quality at sunny light situations. In fact people who like to take shoots at bright daylight waste a lot of money by buying the Insta RS 1" 360° edition (so I did..:-(
This is definetly an issue. I've not had it as noticeable in my videos shot on the one x 2 as compared to the one inch. Sure there is some but it looks different and is much more usable footage I've found off the one x 2 if in bright light
@@BenClaremont hey bro .. somebody keeps scratching my car ... What type of camera can I put inside the car to find out who is coming closest? Like a 360 camera with multiple lenses I thought would be what I should look for ... These other ones are built different I guess ... What would you recommend?
Also .. I want it to record 24 hour .. I'm willing to buy an external battery supply to keep it hooked up and recording.. I have to find out who is doing this to my car man
Hi where did u buy ?
I love my x2 and 1 inch. I'd love to play with the x3 and go 2. So far I have seen amazing improvements on the 1 inch. Thanks for this review.
Thank you for this, it was a great help. I wanted a Go Pro to take on holiday in July. I originally thought a Go Pro Hero 8 at £199 would be fine but man math soon got me looking at the 11 which was £349. 360 cameras wasn’t on my radar until a couple of videos popped up on RUclips and here we are.
Our main use was just going to be general holiday videos and a bit of which the Insta X3 seems to tick all the boxes. The X2 is only about £30 cheaper so unless there is a major reduction before we go away I know what we are getting.
Thanks again for all your videos 👍
Hi Ben
I'm still with my X2, I was going for the X3 but I'll wait to learn more about the 2 new Qoocam.
I know Insta is the King of 360 consumer cameras but always ready to try something else.
Bravo for this comparison, well done.
Perfect video, i needed exactly this for my work. Thank you very much !!
It must have taken you a million hours to put this video together. Thank you!
I still like and use the GoPro Max - because I can mount it on a flat car and film trains as they go through a tunnel. All the other cameras are to tall and when mounted on a flat car the camera will not fit into a model train tunnel. GoPro is also great for rail-fanning. I am going to keep using the GoPro Max. Thanks for sharing your knowledge . Take care: Gary from Detroit, Michigan.
This annual comparison is very good and it was very useful for me to buy my Trisio Lite 2 last year, thank you very much. It would be better if there was a mode for manual photos, similar to DSLR, that you can choose when each photo will be taken. This would avoid editing moving objects.
Thanks 🙏 for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us appreciate
Hi Ben, thanks for your nice work.
When you have some time, it would be very interesting if you did a workshop on the Xphase Pro X2, right ??
Thank you! Helped me make my purchase. Great video so detialed
I really like the large screen easy editing ,no modulars and water proof features of the X3 although I'm leaning on getting into virtual tours so it seems apparent that It's recommended to go for the one inch Because of the Larger sensor and the quality that brings to the table. also the modular thing is good for battery replacement .what do you think ?
I'm in LOVE with the shot at 22:26 with the checkerboard pattern tiles! That is such a trippy cinematic look. It looks like a scene they may have left out of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas! I really enjoy your content. Keep being awesome!
🙏🏻
Great video, Ben! Comprehensive but clear and understandable, with explicit conclusions. Thank you!!!
My pleasure 😇
Thank you for that 👍
At the beginning of last year I had an SC2. It was obvious that I did not meet the new standards for a virtual tour. Then I thought a lot about whether to invest in a new one. The choice was between 1" - Theta or Insta. So, the Insta360 won because of the price. I watched Ben's review at the time, and that was crucial for my choose. After what I saw today, I'm glad I went with the Insta360 1-inch :) What though I did not expect and continues to amaze me is Triso ... an impressive development
Ben , looking forward to your review of the best virtual tour software for 2023 😁
That's very good work. Thankyou!
Thanks for the video
Since I'm just starting on virtual tours as a hobby I went for the insta360 X2.. Found it including sd card, monopod and lens guard for 320€ while the lowest I've seen X3 is 450€, no accesories included, it's 540€ atm on amazon
LOOOOOVE this type of comparison vids!!! have signed up for notifications too!!! U make my desitions in buying cams and stuff related easy!!!!
Glad you liked it 👊🏻
Bought the x2, never used it, have the go2 never used it, have the one rs with every lens, never used it. SO. OBVIOUSLY I would LOGICALLY buy the X3 and the 1in one they came out with, along with the go3. Just wished the x3 and ONE RS line had HDMI OUT.
Thanks really valued content ❤
Great comparison.
Awesome job, thanks a lot.
Excellent overview, very impressive considering the work you must have put in.
I watched it a while back, but wasn’t about to splurge out on new kit at the time.
I’m really interested in night sky Timelapse so I’m fancying the insta one inch and your concise comparison was truly helpful
Excellent presentation all round & packed in a lot. Well done!
just got back from cuba. purchased the Insta360 One X2 before I went, but put it back in the box after day 2 and went back to my Xphase. Takes a bit more editing but all my shots were great.
Thanks for your time on this video
Thanks, I have X3 since Jan 2023 and I full happy with. You video confirmed good chooise
Had watched this video and found it to have lots of information pertaining to the products of cameras, pricing, photographs that each camera could take and so this video is good.
Insta360 X3 for video, bluelining, and some outdoor stills, Trisio 2 for indoor when there is litle movement, outdoor too, at a push, again if little movement
Incredible video. Thank you so much for putting this together.
My pleasure
Very hard to get these in my country but i found SC2 for 260€ so i went for that. Your review made it look just right for me, thanks for these videos!
Fantastic presentation Ben!
I have insta360 3x it working great, thanx for sharing and greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you Ben , You are the disseminator that I most appreciate and respect .
As confirmed the insta only follows the direction of gain.
I asked them if "At least" they made lens caps for the rs one 1Inch, but they answered me that since it's not a sport cam they will never make them, and to look for them from other third party manufacturers...
However I have the gopro, the one r 360 and the oners360 1inch, the latter is the one I prefer for photos, the gopro I prefer when I ride a mountain bike.
I do enjoy my Insta360 X3 which I got under your recommendation. I also do own a insta 360 go 2 so looking forward to the 3 this year. Also added the insta360 Link which is a brilliant web cam ad picked up a One RS on special. Wish I could get the 1 Inch upgrade for it though.
Great video I appreciate you actually giving the answer on which one to buy versus just saying here are the specs it’s up to you… Do you think the 1 inch is durable as the X3 the lens looks more bulbous like it sticks out
Nice! Great seeing these alerts l!
Thank you!
I still have the One X2, and I'm thinking about upgrading to the X3. But I'm not a hard core 360 shooter, so I might just stick with the X2 for awhile. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
My pleasure!
Thank you for your video. Love from Iran 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
Thanks, Ben!
Hey Ben such a great review Thanks so much ..... For me the Insta X3 body shape and editing reins supreme but because I film in surf the curved lens is a water magnet for droplets, the Gopro 11 is amazing in the water not holding droplets. Yes I know 2 different types of cameras but I need that result on a 360 , so many incredible shots ruined by droplets on a 360 curved lens. Also would like to be able to change the lens on my X3 like my old Garmin Virb . I have already sent my X3 back twice under the Insta care program due to minor lens marks which lets water droplets stick even more. Back to the Garmin Virb that was a great camera , incredibly tuff, and by far the best shape, would love to see Garmin back in the game.
Have you tried RainX or something like that? lol
I have the x3. If your export correctly and the RUclips quality setting are set high. The image really isn't too bad. I do want to try out that 1 inch though !
Excellent breakdown. I smacked GO2 in drone racing, albeit it’s survived 18 months so super happy. I would love GO3 with 60fps and tad better light handling, maybe also physical button to avoid accidental stop recordings. Anyways nice vid.
Now used the XPhaseProX2 for a few thousand images and agree on image quality. Much improved in outdoor shots compared to the X1 with less sun flare (even though different lenses add a lot to price).
Where you buy xphase? I cant even find the website gi google
Excellent explanation I think thanks
A well deserved like! thanks!!
Keep up the good work Ben 🎉
Thanks for the great vid Ben! Which camera is the best for Matterport amongst the Theta Z1, Theta X, Insta360 1-inch and an iPhone12 Pro with the matterport axis? Thank you.
excellent content. thx
Very detailed, diverse and informative review !
I have an original model Ricoh Theta (just Theta, pre-S, no letters), been considering the Z1, now X for years, but wanted to justify the price to upgrade. The images aren't very high res, not cutting it anymore. This video was very interesting and helpful
Gotta get your course
As much as I like x3 touchscreen and UI, the 1 inch sensor is deliver much better image quality. They sell the x3 as action camera but in reality 360 lens are so fragile that 1 drop and your camera is done. The lens protector does help but the image quality is impacted. I finally decided that leaving the 360 cam for snowboarding and use an action camera are best options (I cheap out on the extended warranty 🤣)
I made a choice in favor of insta360 x3. Thank you for your review ☺️👍🏻
Incredible video, amazing description.
great video, nice info
Super helpful video!
Looks like time to upgrade my Insta360 X One which I bought 4 years ago to Insta360 X3. Thx for review !
Thanx!!
I had to sub, with that great of a presentation with clear comparison with some camera knowledge, even tho you had help from all your twins…
Thankyou!
We just upgraded from the Theta SC2 (which we had for nearly 2 years), to the insta360 One RS 1". Our main use case is for construction photo-documentation, and unfortunately we seem to be having constant app disconnecting issues with the Insta360 (possibly lots of environmental interference - that doesn't seem to affect the SC2 weirdly enough). Thank goodness our old reliable SC2 still works great, until we can figure out how to manually capture decent images using the Insta360 with a timer. Quality wise, it seems like a small upgrade for images at first glance, while video and being a modular camera is pretty good for being on the move and swapping out batteries quickly.
Im curious, are you a general contractor or a business catering to construction companies?
Great thanks
I still love my gopro max. It's squared shape and I can set it on any flat surface without tri pod. My favorite grab and go.
OneX2 like here!
I dont usually comment. And I have no plans to buy a 360camera. Just clicked this video out of curiosity and WOW your presentation is so awesome. Mindblowingly good. I ended up watching nearly the entire video for no reason...
Thankyou! Maybe you should consider a 360 camera 😁
@@BenClaremont haha I was actually looking for a dash camera for my motorbike.
There are nearly no options except for one for $100 that has video quality similar to cctvs of 1990s. Totally unusable. Can't see numberplate from 3meters.
And another one for $300 which is good enough quality, but my whole bike costs $800, so it doesnt make sense to buy it... I would have still purchased it if it had awesome video quality, but it doesnt. It is just okay.
Only these two options exist.
So, I was checking for a cheap action cameras that has car-mode. Some are available for around $80. And thats how I ended up with your video.
I think you should make more videos about other products too like dashcam, security camera or action camera. There are large number of options, but most of them are terrible. Many dash cams that advertise as 4k are fake 4k. Their actual sensor resolution is less than 1440p, and their quality is often equivalent to 720p, thus figuring out the cheapest actually usable footage camera is difficult.
Anyways, I watch lot of tech videos and your video has unusually high quality presentation, comparing all products for its different specs, comparing based on price, comparing the flaws, and presenting all of that in an easy to understand fun way without wasting time. The signal to noise ratio in your video is very high. You should expand to more categories.
Even for action cameras, there will be lot of videos for expensive high end options, but not much for the cheapest options. For my dash cam situation, I considered buying Insta360 RS due to its incredible picture quality even though its price is high, but then found that it doesnt have dashcam mode, thus not usable for my purpose. Meanwhile the camera I am considering now is SJCAM c100+ action camera which costs $80 but has dashcam mode, and thus it will auto start recording when power is supplied when engine turns on. It is fake 4k, but has usable fullHD footage.
Good honest video.
We love you, Ben !
Looking forward to this one!
Great video. What professional camera equivalent to the materport pro3 can there be on the market to do virtual tours?thanks
I bought the Insta360 1" in December for my new years trip to Dubai. I debated between the 1" and the X3 but at the end I decided to spend a little bit more for the 1" to get the low light capability.
GO 2 is my choice due to super practical size, a minimal mobile workflow, under water capability and only needing clips.
Looking forward to Trisio's next offering.
Good video, though I’m finding it late. I have a bunch of GoPros, I have been pretty disappointed they have given up on the Max, I’m not going to wait for them to update it. I’m leaning towards the Insta360 ONE 1”, even though the X3 would probably do me fine.
I own Z1 for pro virtual tours. Due to Dual Fish Eye possibilities - it is great. I have full control over my photos.
However, I miss it is so poor for vid, especiallly due to it's crap software.
I was using Insta360 couple yrs ago and the software was just great.
So I'm thinking to buy X3...
Hi Ben! Would you be doing a refresh on the best Virtual Tour software to use?
I will try… it just takes a reeeeeally long time to make and I might not have time until mid year.
The X2 has been solidly selling for $299usd for awhile, just order an X3 today with the free motorcycle bundle
Thanks
amazing job!!!
the Qoocam 8k was super underwhelming with its overheating issue causing it to fall out of focus.
Don't think i'd buy from them again unless they magically make the best photo/video 360 cam with one of the fastest workflows, best features, and no glaring issues as big like the 8k's overheating issue...
Wish Ricoh would update their Z1 to have that dual fisheye plugin without having to go through that workflow just to get the quality.
Love the excellent review. Thanks. So the X3 with 1/2" sensor and HDR. Then the ONE RS 1-Inch awesome sensor but they don't add HDR? Frustrating especially since HDR is software manipulation.
Congratulations to everyone I saw very good great quality ....👋👍
I still have the One X and I absolutely agree with Insta360’s software. I nearly upgraded to the X3 this Black Friday but I was able to resist for another year. Either they come up with the X4 or I’ll hopefully get the X3 cheaper. The One X I have is still serviceable but terrible overall although my friends just love my videos taken from it. So why change now? For my own nitpicking nature, I’m due for an upgrade soon. So glad I stayed away from GoPro, their business overall isn’t going well lately and abandoning 360 part made me confident of my decision to stay with Insta360 who seems to be doing really great at the moment.
cảm ơn sự so sánh của ad. giúp anh em 360 có những lựa chọn hợp lý. video rất trung thực và chuẩn
Good review. There are three things so with the Insta360 workflow which I find extremely frustrating and everyone should know before buying one : you buy a camera specialised on 360 video… but…
A) the (iOS) app allows combining multiple clips only in 2D? You can not combine 360° clips and export them as 360° video. Seriously?
B) and this is not only a problem of the app… in Studio you cannot do the second simplest task in video editing neither : combining several clips with some very basic transitions (e.g. fade through black).
C) you cannot export 360 video in the app in full resolution. The app limits (for no reason I could imagine) the resolution to 4K. In order to export in full resolution you have to use Studio on Windows. Sure, 5.7K needs a lot of memory and performance,… but my iPhone 13 Pro with 1TB has plenty of both…
When I bought my X2 right after it’s release, I thought „maybe the hardware guys were faster then the sw developers and they will provide an update soon“. But still today, more than two years later, these issues remain. A lot of cool special effects for social media nerds have been added,… but the most fundamental gaps for people who use these cameras really as 360 cameras, have not been fixed. Very frustrating, … in particular as the hardware is great.
And it’s not as if there are tons of 3rd party solutions you can use. Adobe Premiere works but is for non-professional application ridiculously expensive. Most other video editing solutions (Pinnacle, Filmora,…) that do have some 360° features are not exporting beyond 4K neither. In 360° footage that makes a real difference!
I finally found my solution in using Davinci Resolve. Not very intuitive but once you get used to it , it does the trick.
Thanks a lot to Davinci …
And shame on you, Insta360 software department !
I'm just starting to get into photography and videography a bit more, I loved the streetview app google had when it came to creating photospheres, but it was recently shut down. Do you have a reccomendation for someone just starting out?
Ho una insta 360 Go 2 e non vedo l’ora di capire quale altra meraviglia Insta abbia in serbo per noi !!!
Do you have any information on what spatial exif data is available from each camera? I use a workflow with a GoPro fusion that requires the Latitude/Longitude, then making assumptions about the image heading, pitch, yaw, roll. It's for image collection for a power utility. If there was another camera that exposed the heading especially and the others as a bonus we'd swap out our fleet of fusions very quickly! We'd really like to find something similar to the fusion that simplified our workflow without jumping to the cameras in the tens of thousands of dollars like the Trimble sort of options.
Hey great video!
This is all new for me. We are looking to purchase a 360 video camera for our civil engineering company. We usualy take tons of normal photos as we go do on site surveys and/or use Google street view to see the existing outdoor infrastructures to include informations on our road reconstruction plans . We need a 360 camera to put on a car to get images when there a no street view available or just to get more reliable information.
We would even use it to have a 360 picture video of the interior of manholes when we cant physicaly go inside it
With your video im thinking about the 1 inch. What would you recommend.
Thanks alot !
Hello Ben, thanks for the reviews of camera. I am looking for a simple 360 video camera for travel, and would be interested to make some 3d videos/photos which later on could be viewed on my quest. Can you suggests me a camera? It seems no one is making a new 180 3d camera.
hi, nice comparison. I am thinking of buying insta x3. I have gopro max that I got but still dont know what program should I use for merging and editting video. Do you maybe know what to user?
love my gopro max as paper stand here, after the software castration i barly use it...
Best summary anywhere! I'm still on the X2. Too bad the RS-1inch doesn't have active-HDR and it won't be coming. You can probably recover highlights easier, though? It's best for actual VR. The X3 seems best for reframed action, because of small size, HDR and pre-recording, as well as best single-shot outdoors photo. When nothing is moving around, I can use mirrorless for 360 landscapes, I'm patient. 3D 360 is so hard though with a mirrorless, I'd love to see more info, but it's niche. Kandao often release half-baked products with issues, one can hope they'll learn.
yea, but most would run it through a color correct. Its not a deal breaker to me without HDR, but sharpness is.
Its does have active HDR just pushed shot to 9 and can alter ev stops...
Awesome side by side comparison! From my experience with skiing footage I think the gopro max is surprisingly still better, specifically in low light. I have no use for 360 stills. Also, I've looked around and gopro has what looks like an incredible deal on unlimited cloud storage and insta has I think nothing like it?? Which quickly becomes a big deal as the files sizes are large. The insta desktop app has huge limitations with basic features such as not being able to crop the original file to save space. Thus one of my main issues with the insta is that I have 1.5 TB of data after a few months of usage and they are missing a few tools like cropping and cloud to help manage that. Overall, not sad I bought the insta 360 x3 but I think the gopro max would have still been a better choice for ski videography for me.
After I thought about it more, and used my insta the last few days. The voice commands on the insta360 while it's on my head is unusable. It rarely hears me if it's on my head and it doesn't know the difference between stop recording and start recording. Which essentially makes it useless because I don't know if it's running or not. Also, The beeps/sounds for start stops are too similar. My friends with GoPros have a much easier time controlling their devices with sound. Better life on insta and cold resistance is great! No issues.
I ordered the Insta 360 One RS twin edition. Because I wanted an action camera - then discovered the existence of 360 cameras, so decided to pay a bit more and have both action + 360. The alternative - buying two seperate cameras - would be much more expensive
Is there a way to provide full 360 images from X3 (and possibly other cameras) to check? I'm usually doing 360 photo with my DJI Air 2S drone, but from time to time I'm missing real sky for my final pictures (I'm blending with some collection of skies I downloaded, but it's not always good).
