Is this the BEST Ski Camera in the WORLD? (Insta360 X3 Mount & Film Test)

- In this video I review the Insta360 X3 and explain the best ways you can mount the Insta360 X3 for skiing and snowboarding. Insta 360 X3: store.insta360.com/winterspor... (use my link for a free invisible selfie stick!)
The Insta360 X3 is without a doubt the best action camera on the market for winter sports. Watch out GoPro…. there’s a new sheriff in town!!!! The Insta360 ONE X3 takes buttery smooth footage and captures mind boggling angles. It is simply ultimate tool for anyone who wants to take their footage to the next level. The 360 degree video capture doesn’t miss a beat and creates professional grade videos that only a drone or a huge camera crew could have captured before!
Let me know in the comments which mounts/angles are your favourite so I can include them in upcoming videos!

Wow , what a great video. Super good description and explaination of the Insta360x3 . It's amazing....
Glad you liked it!
That is pretty cool.. I will have to check into it..
Let me know if you have any questions Darin!
Good stuff Mate. Love your enthusiasm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Davy really appreciate that!
I like the chest mount and the steady video you can re frame from it. My top video made yet is coming off the Peak chair on a mostly clear day, the 360 video wow's everyone who I have shown it to and it's fun to watch on a cell phone. Love this thing!
Chest mount is so sick! Is this video on UA-cam somewhere? Would love to see your chest cam footy.
@@riseandalpine ua-cam.com/video/7L5xtVDHzGk/v-deo.html
There is snow in the lens and I'm only an intermediate skier but look how steady this video was on someone who's only an intermediate. Anyone who is more steady skiing would have no problem taking a smooth/clear video. The 360 peak video is still far better than this one
@Ryan E Your video shows exactly what I don't like about the chest mount. It shows too much hand/arm movement. And the better skier you are, the stronger you tend to be with your poles, and which results in them being in the way more often.
@@HawgRiderBC that is from intermediate experience, not from camera error

I recently found your channel and I really have been digging all your content. I'd love to see a video on your editing workflow and the software your using to put together one of your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for tuning in and for the support. That would be a super fun idea!
Literally saw you Filming with a GoPro on Sunday 😂
They can’t be that bad!
Naw... You probably were mistaken. Must have been another curly haired hot sauce drinking helly hansen wearing goofball on the mountain 😂😂😂
In my opinion, the slight muffling that happens with lots of wind makes the experience better, it feels like we really can experience how fast you're going.
Glad you like the immersive fel of the raw audio. At some point I'm going to get a rode mic attachment to test out. Will be interesting to see what y'all like.
finally new vid
Life got a little hectic. Lot's of sendy videos in the pipeline this week and next!
Cool video buddy!! Thanks for that. The unicorn mount is the invisibke selfie stick untik 1m? I cant find at the web like unicorn...
No worries! The selfie stick is 1m but you can frame the video to look further away. Recently they made a 3m selfie stick which looks super sick.
The unicorn mount is separate from the invisible selfie stick. It's a smaller rod that attaches to the helmet mount!
Yes yes yes. I actually wanted to know about insta 360. Your videos and one cut media’s videos (the Canadian influence) are convincing me to switch to the insta 360 from Go pro. “Sayonara” hahaha!!
Join us!
It's super nice to not have to worry about camera angle. Plus it's the best for filming for socials and youtube at the same time :).
@@riseandalpine I think I'm going to buy it soon. either this year or next year!! thanks for your reply!
Very interesting about the battery being so good. Almost felt like I got frostbite last week on a peak at Whistler while trying to replace the battery.
I dropped one in 30 cm of powder a couple of weeks ago, but luckily, I found it.
@EvilestMinion I know that pain all too well. Batteries always seem to die on the coldest, windiest spot on the mountain, right before a big line hahaha
@Robert M Glad you found it! I've done the same but with the whole camera open and the battery out. It soaked all the internal components. Miraculously it works after an evening in front of a fan!
Actually looking to get one of these soon and my real question was just comparing the X3 to the One RS models Insta360 sells. Do you have any experience with the One RS and any pros/cons between them if you do?
And great review! Love to see these type behind the scenes things in addition to the other great content!
Hey Bryce - I don't have any experience with the RS. I use a go pro hero 11 quite often as well. The biggest advantage of the 360 is not missing anything and the ability to make great vertical socials. I find there can be some stitching issues and less crisp video than the go pro for regular wide screen. Both are awesome!
@@riseandalpine no worries, this is great feedback! Thank you!
Super super super vid, only 420 super’s were involved in the making!!
your a super super guy Matt!
Hope you made it out on Sunday for the pow day! Was looking for you out on the slopes :D
You bet I did. It was an absolute blast! Best snow of the year. That video should be coming out in a few weeks. A little backlogged at the moment!
Best ski day of my life! Thank you for all the videos and tips/tricks for pow days - I put them all to use! Really made the day great :D
Interesting stuff. Does it use memory cards or internal solid state memory? How long can you record for? Do you need to change cards if you’re out all day? Thanks in advance😊🇬🇧
Uses an SD card! I've got a 256GB sd card in it and that allows for a about 6-8 hours of 360 filming. The only thing I sometimes need to change is the battery if I'm filming non stop.
@@riseandalpine Thanks James👍 That’s impressive.
Did you get free shipping from the USA and what courier did they use? Sometimes you get the full meal deal on duty and tax, sometimes not. Great videos, helps me navigate Whistler Blackcomb.
To be honest, I'm not too sure as they sent me the camera. Maybe someone from the comments can help you out with this?
How do i get the helmet mount i dont see it on the official website. One more question, is better then de gopro max?
Hey Douglas - I like it better than the GoPro Max because of the app which makes it super easier to edit videos on your phone for socials.
I actually just use a headmount I bought from amazon. The insta360 has the classic gopro bunny ears attachment which screws into the bottom so it fits into all the classical mounts.
I always use GoPro max , how does it compare with X3 ?
I've never tried the Max so couldn't tell you. I only have the hero 11 and hate how fast the battery dies.
How do you get your cameras to die slower in the cold? My GoPro always dies within 30 minutes of being used.
Sometimes I keep extra batteries. I also take the camera on and off my helmet and put it in my pocket between runs. If I leave it on my head the chairlift bar sometimes hits and and could crack the lens.
I think the warmth of being in my pocket when it's not filming makes a massive difference overall.
I get about 60-70 minutes of recording per battery, and I use a remote control to turn it off and on, on the chairlift.
Have you tried the chest mount yet? We love how stable that is! The editing is so nice too!
Yep! Chest mount is one of my favourites especially with the 4k single lens mode. Looks soo immersive!
I find I get too much arm movement in the video when I use the chest attachment.
Don't suppose you're selling the v2 for a nice discount now that you've got the new one ;)
How was the weekend for you? I got a ton of skiing in, which was awesome. Also tried skiing Crumpit yesterday which was... An experience 😅 (do not attempt, it was not an effective plan). But I technically got a couple turns in!
I'm going to keep both! One for my chest and one for my head LOL. Going to look even more ridiculous on the hill.
Weekend was super sick! I absolutely crushed it on Blackcomb... Best pow of the year.
Thanks for the Tip hahaha, I won't attempt the crumpit anytime soon. Was it worth the adventure?
How do they cope with super cold days?
Pretty damn solid, and better than my Hero 11. I've done -15 days leaving it on my helmet the whole time and it's gone the whole day. I've only popped a second battery in 1 time so far and usually film about 1-2 hours worth of footage per day. Any more than that it makes for a lot of reframing hahaha.
A lot of the time I'll pop it back in my pocket on runs or lifts I'm not trying to film. If it's west coast wet snowing you gotta be giving the lenses a wipe before each run to make sure it looks decent.
head or chest filiming?
With the 360 the head and stick are the best. I like to go pro on the chest
More good than go pro max ?
I prefer it. Go pro's subscription model is bogus. All of insta360's software for editing is free and always improving. I also hate go pro batteries. I use 4 enduro go pro batteries to 1 insta battery. MIcrophone is the only thing that I find to be slightly better on the go pro. But, if I could only have one, I would choose the insta360 without hesitation.
@@riseandalpine then I'll wait for gopro max 2, let's see if it's better, if not I'll go for insta 360
Have you tried any mounts with the motorcycle mount like he does in this video? It allows him to still have both poles and look normal (natural)...
ua-cam.com/video/6-hXci3Vzqg/v-deo.html
That looks super slick! However, I would find it pretty hard not pole planting. Personally, I like using mounts that don't impede on my overall skiing experience, but it could be a sweet option for carving where planting isn't as necessary! Thanks for sharing :)
i might have to toss the hero 8 and get one of these!!!!!!!!!!!
It's pretty sweet, especially if you wanna film once and turn it into both vertical and horizontal video.
@@riseandalpine thats something i want. i have the sideways mount thingy for my gopro and i need to change it everytime. and i like all the features the 360 has to offer. what does the link in ur bio do, does some of the money go to you?
@@kylegoplin Ya the sideways mount is a super big hassle. You can always do the 360 on your head as the main camera and run a chest go pro and see what turns out best!
Link in the bio gives me a little bit of a commission if you buy and I think you get a free selfie stick!
If you like follow cams as well it's so sick for filming your buddies. Just stick the camera wherever nearby them and then just drag over them on the app. Looks unreal!
have you used the GoPro Max?
yup! I find the stitching is a little bit worse on the max and I prefer the editing software with the insta360. But, it's still a super solid camera!
@@riseandalpine agreed about the stitching, although like most things GoPro, it’s hit or miss. I like it’s form factor and 6mics make great audio…but I’ve wanted to try the Insta360 for a while
@@blacktusktrees Totally! Go Pro always does great with the mics. My favourite part is truly the phone app which makes it dead easy to upload to socials.
I still think the hero 11 looks better despite the fact that it's not 360. the X3 and X2 are too grainy and the audio is pretty terrible
Fair enough. A 360 camera always has a certain level of distortion. I find the new 4k single lens is super mint. I used it for a lot of the stills in my Vantage Peak video and it looks crispy as heck. I prefer the natural color grading of the 360 in low light as well, go pro 11 makes things look a little yellow and you have to grade it. Also it's a time saver for me being able to push content out both vertically and horizontal.
I have both and in many cases GoPro is better but God damn X3 can get some sick shots and angles specially with 3m selfie stick, impossible with GoPro...
If you use the mouth piece we won't be able to hear your hooping and hollering when you're blasting a great line at Mach 7, so please don't .. And I'm damn glad we didn't have any of that POV technology in the old tram and gondola .... that's all I have to say about that! Stay safe!!
Don't you worry the Gondolas are still the wild west... we just don't turn the cameras on :)
I just really dont like how it gets soft and low res video compared to a traditional action cam the footage doesnt look as good
It all depends on the export settings. You can export at 4k on the computer but only 1080p from the app. I typically edit from the app because it is easiest for my workflow which includes socials. UA-cam compresses footy anyways. But, if you're working on a more serious production, you can keep it crispy with the proper desktop app export settings.
TBH when you rewatch your footage on your phone it looks mental in 5.7k. Would be nice if they allowed for 4k export from the phone app though! Hopefully an upgrade to happen soon.
@@riseandalpine Its probably something they do because a lot of mobile OS (at least IOS for sure) cant handle 4k video codecs and they are much heavier on the processor and battery which is limited in mobile devices
even on 5.7k 360 = 1920x1080 in 9:16 or 1080x1920 in 16:9 which in my opinion is the absolute bare minimum for social media and a little too low for what youtube is capable of, especially when viewing on a high res display the difference between native 9:16 (or gopro hero 11 8:7) 5.3k and "5.7k" 360, which really means 1080p, at this aspect ratio is just not on the same level
@@colesky33I agree! Interesting note on the IOS not being able to handle the codecs. Will be sweet to see how they could improve 360 over time. Makes my life so much easier as a solo filmer who wants to focus on skiing more than filming!
Its just my personal preference, but I don't like the distorted view of the 360. I prefer the regular GoPro video. Now, bring on the haters....
No haters round here! The 4k single lens mode on this thing looks indistinguishable from a go pro view but with better color IMO.
The biggest advantage to 360, especially for solo filmakers is that you don't miss footage. When I use to run POV gopro getting the angle right on a helmet was a huge problem.. it's the price you pay for distortion.
You eat a lot of bananas.
