Still prever my older Qoocam on the bike having a larger inbuild battery filming over 2 hours straight.

    For Christmas I gave myself a gift with the PanoX V2. I must say that the choice was motivated by the video quality. I could have opted for QooCam3 but it is very suitable for shooting in low light, something I rarely use. Now I'm waiting for Panox to add the RAW format to the photos, so as to have better quality in post production. However, I was satisfied with the extreme ease of use and functionality of GSV. Thanks Ben, your videos are linear and attract attention, worth watching until the end! 👍

    I'm using the Insta360 X2 and skipped the X3. I think the X4 will be a larger step forward. The Insta360 Ace Pro looks amazing and if they put two of them into the X4 and get enough additional computing power it will have 8k and probably more.

  • @19ab59

    Hi Ben, you don't recommend the RS but I wish that Insta360 sold the One RS without the 4k module and just the 360 module. I do agree about the modular solution. I mainly use it on my road and gravelbike and the form factor of the RS is less vulnerable. Keep up the good work Ben! Subscribed

    I own Insta360 1" and I love the detail and low light performance of the larger sensor. The only issue I have is the time it takes to wrine the DNG files when taking timelapse, it is very slow, so it really takes long time to do a night time timelapse. Have you tried any others in a timelapse mode? It would be good to add this to your comparison.

    - время на включение, время на снимок, время на сшивание снимков 360, время на копирование на компьютер
    - время продолжительности 1 батареи до полного отключения устройства в количествах снимков или минут видео
    - сравнение вариантов разрешения снимка, веса (мб, гб) снимка, максимальные возможности камеры и оптимальное качество
    - объём внутренней памяти устройства, варианты добавляемой памяти
    - наличие программного обеспечения и их возможности.

  • @RedwoodGeorge
    @RedwoodGeorge 3 місяці тому +11

    I bought an Insta360 One RS 1-Inch six months ago in preparation for a vacation. In testing before I left, the CPU module would overheat and crash after eight to ten minutes of use. Insta360 support was so obstructive that time ran out before the trip, so I bought an Insta360 X3 for the trip, eating the cost of the RS 1-Inch. The X3 was a champ; dependable and would run until the battery was exhausted.
    On return from the trip, after more weeks of back-and-forth with Insta360 support, they finally issued an RMA. They replaced the CPU module within a week with the note "yes, this was definitely defective" Even now that it was working correctly, the unit would still overheat but it took 15-20 minutes rather than eight to ten. And when it shut down, it shut down gracefully with an "overheat" message rather than just blanking out, saving the file in the process.
    As it turns out the RS 1-Inch would never have been a candidate for the task, which required recording for 30 or more minutes at a time. The X3, on the other hand, had absolutely no issue with the same job.

The xphase has my attention but if I am to consider a rotator why not a360 gimbal or auto rotator the realsee g1 with their ai stitching comes to mind as it uses the apple lidar sensor. Do you have any experience with it?

      I haven’t used the Galois- could be worth a go, but to be honest most cameras (including the Z1) do a good enough job for most use cases. It’s only if you wanted better spatial mapping etc. that I’d consider a camera like the Galois.

      I use my tours for work orders with contractors as well marking hotspots on the tour ensuring better communication as to what is wanted and why it also helps get faster estimates from multiple vendors without having to physically go there multiple times to open properties and coordinate keys. So I include room,door, and stair dimensions as well the lidar function on the scan for me is a game changer.

    Would you recommend upgrading from the x3 to the one rs 1 inch? Or should I maybe wait for the upgrade to the rs 1 inch to come out this/next year? I’m still an amateur and plan to start using my x3 for real estate tours and fpv drone videos.

    • @BenClaremont
      @BenClaremont  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes I would if you’re looking to take your work up a level right now. For any professional use, it’s always worth the immediate upgrade. You can always upgrade again later.

    As always, top review Ben, greetings from Ukraine)
    If you have time, I would like to clarify:
    I have a business model - I send my clients a camera by mail, with a monopod → they take a photo → I receive the camera back and upload a 3D tour to them at a point on Google map (Not Street View)... this is part of the local SEO work.. For personal video shooting of a blog I use insta x2... + Cannon m50 mark 2
    A few questions:
    1. For personal shooting for those clients who, in addition to the goal for local SEO, also need a high-quality business presentation, I want to master my camera (↑↑) + fisheye, or is it better to buy XPhase? The quality of this camera will already allow you to abandon the camera with a lens? This stitching and editing seems so complicated to me and, to be honest, I don’t even have much desire to understand the issue.
    2. I send people x one or x 2, because you can buy a lot of them used and a lot on the market and there is no difference in the indoor photos between them and x 3, but maybe you can recommend something else? It is also important that the photo process itself is simple for people; in these cameras, people press one button and the camera takes a photo in 10 seconds. I see only 1 inch, but as you said, it is larger, more fragile and more expensive... On average, people break 1-2 cameras per year to me...

    If I had infinite money, I'd go for the Insta360 1 Inch Edition. I already have the One R and have used it for years. But after watching countless review videos, I have concluded that no currently available camera presents significant enough of an upgrade for me, other than possibly the 1 Inch. I primarily shoot hiking videos. I'll most likely wait another year or two to see if anything new comes out that blows everything else away within a reasonable price range.

  • @timeintheoutdoors

    I can tell you from a user why the one RS / modular camera is nice. I shoot starting in good light for about 2 hours then the sunsets using the 360 lens and my needs change. After sunset, I will switch to the 1" lens for when I need to shoot a video in low light or even use a light attached to the camera. I could use the 360 but the 1" lens works better in low light for this camera and much better with the light attached. Instead of taking 2 cameras, I can take just one. It allows me the flex ability that I need for my shooting style. It also allows me to cut down on a little weight and gear which is super important if I'm hiking in a l long distance to my filming location. I also shoot in adverse weather conditions. Having an action-style 360 camera is critical when it starts to rain or snow. In short, there is a nitch for a modular style 360 camera, and for those of us who use it for this, it works wonderfully. Keep up the good work filming and showing what is happening in the world of 360 cameras!

    love the RS1 1-inch360 edition -> hope for a stronger Core, the given Resolution with 60fps AND: i can use the 1-inch modul for that because i already own ist (bought two times, because 2 year old son smashed the first lens after 3 weeks of ownership)
    the core should give: 60fps at full resolution, maybe more HDR Option AND: better sound please !!! at least insta X3 niveau !
    maybe also a design-change: a core with included Battery as on the x3 with bigger screen and still swappable lense-unit as on the current 1-inch360edition

  • @SamEmilio2
    @SamEmilio2 3 місяці тому +1

    Hey Ben, thanks for this wildly in depth review! I've owned a Z1 for a couple of years, and just want to note a few things:
    According to the iFixit guide, the battery size is actually 1100mAh. I'm surprised that you're able to get all day life out of it - I'll find that one big house with Matterport will be enough to do it in. BUT it's so great that it a/charges quickly and b/can take power from USB C while you're using it
    Also with that camera, I may be totally missing something but I've never had to do any of the stitching you refer to? That's mentioned as being a big drawback for the workflow, but when I pull the images from it, they're ready to go. I'd give it a 10/10 for workflow - it's just like a normal camera. Maybe it's a particular mode?
    One downside to consider with it (and may be the case with all these cameras) is if you're an IDIOT. I dropped mine, and got a tiny, TINY scratch one of the lenses. Glass is unaffected but the coatings are. Causes a slight smear effect from flaring. Ricoh's support isn't the best, but going through their proper channels I got quoted $850USD to repair it. That was infuriating because I might as well just buy a new one for that price!

    • @BenClaremont
      @BenClaremont  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for that, I couldn’t find the battery spec anywhere. Yeah it lasts all day for me, but I can see how it might drain faster on big MP shoots.
      The workflow I referenced was the Dual Fisheye Plugin HDR merging workflow which is what 90% of users use (obviously can’t be used with Matterport which takes a single automatic exposure shots). You can get much better dynamic range using it - just look at the difference between my automatic exposure shots (what you get with MP) and the edited shot (DFE plugin).
      And sorry to hear about your lens getting scratched 😅

I've been wanting to use my Z1 for HDRIs to use in Blender, but the one time I went out to do it I hated the results and blamed the camera! I was bracketing raw photos and the stitching was done in camera. I've really gotta look at the workflow you're describing, because obviously those images are so much nicer.

    Surely Insta360 must make 8K 360 cameras this year? They already released the 8K action camera. Hopefully that spills over into 360 cameras. I'm also hoping for more 3D/VR180 cameras now that Apple Vision Pro has been released and Meta Quest seems to be selling quite a lot. The Canon camera looks very interesting. Sooner or later VR video has to "take off", right?

    Thanks for the detailed video! Too bad the GoPro Max is missing! For paragliding full flight capture, the GoPro Max is still the overall best 360 camera thanks to its amazing wind noise reduction, long battery life and compactness. The X3 is a close second, but will absolutely need an external microphone - it doesn't know how to deal with suddenly changing wind directions at high speed (and neither do any other brand I've tested, 360 or not).
    It's a shame because I really am not a big fan of GoPro...

      I included it in the last one of these comparisons I made- but there are too many reasons not to buy it in 2024, hence why I didn’t include it. If sound is more important to you than most other things then sure, it may be the ‘best’. But not at most other aspects of 360 capture & editing. Plus, they haven’t updated the firmware/software in many years.
