Waterproof
Invisible selfie stick
Great app
Great fun camera for 360-degree filming. I’ve filmed walks and journeys with it poking out of windows of trains and the car successfully.
It’s waterproof and I’ve dived with it. The quality wasn’t that good underwater so I tried to get the official underwater case but there’s no stock anywhere.
I’m a techie but I had quite a bit of difficulty getting this connected and keeping a conection even though camera and phone were on my person. I also had difficulty with Sandisk memory cards although the one supplied with the kit did work. I think the 360 camera idea is very appealing concept but I will wait until the X3 version is matured and some of these connection problems are ironed out. It may seem petty but when a moment occurs you want to get the camera on and recording, not spend 5 minutes retrying the connection and the moment is gone.
Losing my GoPro was in hind sight a blessing. Since owning the X2 I honestly don’t understand why anyone would consider anything else. Just don’t buy the gps remote as it’s rubbish.
Like what I see so far, finiding the video editing software tricky to get to grips with.
Like the layout and the operation simple to use
already had another insta camera which worked well (EVO)
this one suffers from lens blur / poor stiching in sunlight
see attached photo of circles on scree
Probably not worth 500 but the editing software is good and stabilisation is great. Image quality is poor, not been able to get 5k clarity. More like 1080 quality even after highest settings are on. I’d probably try to DJI next time
I was torn between a new GoPro or an Insta360 and am so glad I went Insta360. The image stabilization is fantastic and the and colours are true. Yes the stitching is sometimes a little off, but provided you don’t deliberately aim the edge of the camera at the center of the action you’ll be fine.
It’s not as robust as a GoPro but it does a different job and given you’re shooting 360 you must protect the lens at all costs.
The app that is very intuitive and the “lab” section has some very nice features and ideas. My favorite thing from the lab so far is the night lapse feature, must be one of the easiest way to get into star photography.
A great little camera packed with features.
Great product but you need to unlock it with a phone app that does not install on many phone models! Had to get a friend to unlock it using their phone. Seems mad that this would even be an issue, but make sure you have access to a phone that can install the app on, before buying it, otherwise you cannot use it! Once unlocked works fine.
If you are reading my review then it’s because you are thinking of getting one of these amazing cameras.
The camera does everything promised and more BUT you MUST watch some YouTube videos on how to use it. This is what I did and it enables you to get the best from the camera from the get go!
It can be difficult to get your head around a camera that records everything in all directions at the same time.
You create the movies later on your phone or a desktop app.
I’d been after one for a while, and finally took the plunge. So took it out to our final league game of the season and recorded some footage. Posted it to some social media channels and got some amazing feedback. It’s going to take a while to truly grasp editting but, for now this is unbelievable.
Not used much for video but the 360 images are great and have used this to map a room. Essentially the camera takes 2 fisheye images of 180 degrees and ‘stitches’ them together. The actual camera display is small and awkward so best stick to the app. Only down side (which is not the camera’s fault) is the lack of technology for people to view the images in full 360. However, the app gets round this somewhat by allowing you to manipulate the image taken to produce as many stills from it at different angles as you like. Similarly editing the video in Adobe Premiere, for instance, you can choose the best view to show from the source material which is pretty cool, and can change this view in the timeline.
The camera itself is very compact and hardly shows in the 360 images (can be edited out with software) and is light enough to be used on a selfie-stick-tripod. The room mapping worked very well until I discovered that most host websites require a subscription which really wasn’t worth it for what I was using it for. I haven’t explored this as much as I should yet, especially not for filming, but it is great fun and good quality, no disappointments really.
Really glad i got this camera, it’s a cracking bit of kit. Just a few flaws.
Pros:
Great to just have with you
Downloads images and videos fast and to your phone
Easy to set up and get going
Cons:
Voice comments DO NOT WORK at all
Hit and miss as to wether or not it’s going to start when you want it to using your mobile
Can’t switch it off using your mobile, only on
Customer service is shocking
App forces you to have annoying notifications
So lets start with a review, if the shortlist of bullet points isn’t enough for you.
The great thing about this camera is that it fits in your pocket and is really easy to get up and running. When you want to quick capture, its fast enough for most of my needs, but nowhere near as quick at starting up as any of my GoPro kit.
It connects to EarPods so sound quality can be good using those, but to be honest, they’ve done a pretty damn good job on the audio, you can even clear it up in post or have it concentrate on your voice.
Image quality is really good, no complaints there at all. Although on a bright day you might want to change a few of the settings as i shot in natural sunlight to get some views, but it turned out too bright and drowned out what i wanted to capture, possibly my own fault there..
Setting up the app is easy and getting connected to the camera is very straight forward, although the REALLY annoying thing is, you can’t use the app unless you have notifications switched on. Imagine opening your email inbox to a load of spam…. oh wait… we all do that every day already… well it’s just like that. Pointless and irritating. Fortunately it’s not constant and so far I’ve only had a few over the course of a month. (Almost).
I’m a truck vlogger and using it while driving is almost impossible because the voice commands do not work. I have to pull over, start recording and then pull over again to stop recording. I don’t want to spend more money on a remote, besides, why should i have to if it supposedly has voice commands!?
Then there’s technical support.. You know when kids ask “why?” So you give an answer and they reply with “why?” and so on? ….. it’s like that. All I asked was “is there a wake words to use the voice commands”.. like “Alexa play my music” or “hey siri, call my aunty” .. it’s been 2 days and I’m now being asked about the firmware version. I have honestly given up all hope of ever using voice control on this camera.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a really great bit of kit and as a whole, I’d say I would recommend it to anyone, but this seems like it’s aimed more at people starting out with 360 or a younger generation that want to show off on social media.
Which brings me nicely to the social media side of it. Apparently it’s possible to go live with this handy kit on numerous flavours of social media. “Why not give it a whirl” i thought. Another face palm moment struck after 40 minutes of trying to get it to work.. gave up in the end!
I mean, you’re better off exporting your files and uploading them without using the app. As for YouTube, I couldn’t get it to connect to my channel at all… maybe some perseverance is needed on my part.
To that end, I am very tech savvy and still some of this baffled me.
Final thought : great kit, water resistant and a really fun thing to have. Just don’t expect it to be flawless.
Congratulations on reading this far, you must be an insomniac!!
*** EDIT*** the desktop software is shocking.. every time it updates, I’ve had to put windows into safe mode, delete the entire program, download it again and install it.. Beginning to wish I’d have bought a GoPro now..
This was the best and most economic bundle for the amount of gear you get with the camera. The camera itself is an amazing piece of kit and I bought it at a great price.
Captured much better action footage than a GoPro as you don’t need to try and frame the action at the time. The 360 camera just captures everything and you can frame it in the app later. So many comments on how good the footage looked and how the invisible selfie stick is like magic. Highly recommended
Fantastic 360 camera, loads to learn on editing which means you only get better and better.
It’s not cheap but can’t buy something like this cheap with what this does. Check YouTube videos on it, it’s a great piece of kit.
Great camera can create some very unique videos and 360 images. The app will take some getting used to but being able to see how other videos are created means you can master the shots you like the look of.
THIS DELIVERED ON IT AND MORE!
Video:
The stability on this is INSANE. when using this on non profesh camera people to hold and walk (mind there was a lot of shake) the camera paired with the invisible selfie stick was unmatched! Hardly any shake at all when viewed on the tiny planet effect.
It films in 5.7k (way better than the 4k on my Sony a7iii) SO INSANE.
It also has a time-lapse, time shift mode which are super cool and nice if you want extra b roll incase. Just set it up on the selfie/tripod and leave it in the background.
Super happy with the video quality.
Photo:
I haven’t used the photo features as MUCH but I will say it delivers on quality! It’s even got self timers do you can easily take some great non distorted looking photos too!
Editing:
You can choose to edit on with a phone app (super easy as all touch screen) or there is a software for laptops also. You can also edit in premier pro now with a plug in, however it did not work for me.
CONS:
I really don’t like how quickly it overheats. For something so powerful it’s very small and does often heat up when filming in the max video quality.
Although it’s touch screen it’s still a bit fidly and annoying.
The battery life is not the best, it died mid shoot but can be charged via portable charger.
I hate the micro SD slot, means I have to buy a micro SD. Never use micros so more effort and easier to loose.
Overall worth the cost as I feel it can be an every day vlogging camera, BTS camera and overall second camera to your shoots!
Great camera with great quality videos and pictures. Just what I hoped for. Takes a bit to get used to as was my first 360 camera but loving the options that come with the app and plenty accessories available
Delivers as advertised very happy with the editing app and the images produced. Image stabilization is wonderful as well. Battery life is ok however better to capture short 5-10 min at a time cause it does eat through your battery’s charge. A bit difficult to find An extra Battery pack though that is compatible with the camera
Really impressed with the results, and the app is excellent for editing short clips on the fly. The tracking was the #1 reason I went for this over competitors, and as you’ll see from the video (albeit super low quality thanks to Amazon), it did a stellar job. A must have if you want to catch yourself in the action, and not just what you’re looking at.
Great 360 camera,
I use it for making VR Videos and can’t fault it, my 1st one did become faulty within a few days, but was within Amazon return window so was easily replaced, 2nd camera is going strong so think I was just unlucky
Great piece of kit. Definitely a lot of fun. However I’m not sure how I would build it into a professional workflow. I still need to experiment with it. It is expensive, and the Insta360 studio app could be improved to make it more user friendly.
