    I love this camera. I use this camera specifically for riding on my motorcycle to be able to catch EVERYTHING. The beauty of this camera is that you don't have to point it in any direction. Obviously you would want to have it face a certain direction most of the time, but it isn't dependent upon you making sure it is always facing the "right" direction.
    The only other "con" (you didn't mention it) is that you have to edit the 360 footage and export it so you can add it to your video editing software. It's a necessary step, but totally worth it, but it IS an extra step in your process.

As someone who owns a DJI drone too, this camera seems like a better purchase than a drone. Draws less attention, basically no restrictions, you get some very similar, if not better angles. Seems like best investment for explorers everywhere. Thanks again.

After watching this, I am leaning more on the X3 for the same reasons you mentioned...it's 360! Pretty sure that down the line, there will be a 360 camera with better video quality but this seems it will hold up for a while.

    Wonderful video, thank you. I'm thinking of getting the next three. I didn't understand the 30-minute limitation or the SD card. So, when you're out in the field how do you use it all day? Do you have extra battery packs, do you have extra SD cards, do you stop and download the content from the camera into a computer so that you can reuse the camera again? Thanks.

    • @PuffinPass

      It does the same thing the Gopro does except the Gopro will split files up into 5min 20sec files. So it will shoot more than 30mins at a time but it breaks the file into smaller more manageable size to work with. Honestly this isn't a con at all when you consider other action cams file limits are much lower.

    Hi Rob, ive started creating YT content and wanted to know whether this would work as a talking head selfie camera. I am after the bokeh effect and wondered if this can be done post? I currently use a iphone 14 pro to do A and B rolls, and it works great however i am a windows user and find it frustrating getting footage off and I'm constantly running low on space. This was on my list of things to buy as i intend to strap it on my car but I would rather avoid buying another camera to do the A and B rolls.

  • @effort1584

    The temperature issue is not well tested indoors where the ambient temp is often in the low 70's F. I have experience some issues with overheating when in full sun and 90+ degree weather. So consider both the ambient temp and the shade factor when using the X2 or X3. If you need to get footage you may have to plan for some cooling stops or other cooling methods.

    I realized the same the most important thing !! after the two last updates they improved a lot or unbloked the real full quality image of the X3 recording in 360 5,7k 30fps probably the same sowftware update parameters that use in X4 recording in 5,7k 360 30fps and before was worst still setting everything perfect in manual , and i think this is a "comercial marketing" now that people buy X4 "not all people will do videos in 8k 360 too much memory space" Insta360 decided touching the software raise the image quality in the X3, now is amazing in X3 and everything looks cleaner and looks spectacular.

    Agree that the X3 is the way to go, and i also use it all the time. Unfortunate the new diving case is extremely expensive with 114 euro and shipping of 15 euro. That's just crazy. Also when i sold my X2 and bought the X3 i had to buy new batteries, case, new microphone adapter etc. So i am very afraid if next year's X4 will be launched you again have to buy all new accessories. To me this is extremely customer unfriendly

Still however the case is extremely expensive, and for those people who have the x2 dive case or old x3 dive case, they again have to purchase a new one.

    I just picked up one of these.. I had a false start vlogging a few years ago, Dropping an action cam.. walking back on the trail, walking into the shot.. picking it up again, finding out later it didn't' quite work.. Not being able to do good vehicle shots solo.. Being worried that my nicer camera will get stolen as I drive past it down the road etc. I am hoping this solves a lot of that.

      @@trycrlos It works great. It is hard to tell if it adds to my editing time, but the freedom to just pick whatever shot you want is great. The audio pickup with the internal mic is 'good' if not great, setting up the external works well, but I have not used that so much, because it adds to the fumble time. I did have one issue, and that was with a video I had to dump because for whatever reason the camera didn't record. This was a pretty cold day, -25c so maybe that is why.

Then I reused same ring to tighten new lens in place, then a drop of glue again. Rest was relatively easy. Obviously I had to disassemble the camera and take both optical blocks out. Took about 3 hours, result is: like new lens. Good luck!

    Yes, it's a fun camera! I have to learn to stop using keyframes like kids use zoom. (look over here, no over here , wait check this out).
    My biggest gripe is that I can't upload as a 360 video or cardboard to my personal Google Photos account. It will work once but once I send a link to a friend, it will revert to a splayed panorama (or Mercator-like projection) for them and me. I'm not ready for UA-cam and I don't/won't do Facebook.
    Haven't tried uploading to my domain yet but a link back to photos would suffice. Otherwise I'm quite happy but wondering what the next camera-of-the-day is going to be.
