- Should you use the Insta360 One X2 in your filmmaking and Does 360 degree video make or break your story? While on a snowboarding trip with the Insta360 One X2 I discuss whether having this tool in your filmmaking bag can add to your story along with the other pieces in your kit.
I've been fascinated with 360 footage since I first saw it and I think these action cameras can be a great way to capture certain angles that would otherwise require multiple pieces of gear and likely multiple people filming at the same time. This is not just an initial impressions, this is my review of the Insta360 One X2 and I do plan to continue using this action camera in upcoming videos.
As a side note I will say that this footage definitely gave the M1 Max MacBook Pro a run. It handled the footage, but I definitely experienced the fans spinning up on this one.

Alright you beautiful humans. Who's up to hang out with me on the next field trip? What else should we get into with this camera? Sending you all my best, and please protect that nugget.
Notifications gang checking in! Happy Sunday kevin
Louis! Always fantastic to see you around.
Kevin, it's great to be able to record these moments while skiing to your heart's content outdoors! Thanks for your review and Insta360 One X2 is so cool!!!
Yes! Super stoked I was able to capture this footage of the trip, even though it was cut a little short from the injury.
Appreciate your time here.
Glad to hear your son is well. Love this camera. Super easy to capture video footage while active with my toddler son bike riding or at the jungle parks without the stress of “point and shoot”. Editing in their app is user friendly. Best wishes brother. ✊🏼
Man I wish I had this when I was chasing them around on their bikes when they were learning. So much easier.
Appreciate you hanging out on this one.
Clavicle injuries are painful had one myself. Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery he’ll be back to normal that’s for sure.
Ah, you’ve endured a clavicle fracture, eh? Yeah, it looked pretty painful. He’s back on the field and playing soccer, although we still have some snowboarding season for a little longer, but I think he’s good until the next one. 😉
@@KevinRossRN glad to hear it! I guess it’s better to recover from this while you’re younger. Glad he’s back to his activities
Yes! Youth definitely has its advantages. Too bad we don’t realize that until we’re older 🤣
I love using 360 cameras, especially for vlogging and now that I have an Oculus quest 2 it's even better, wish GoPro or Insta360 would release an 8k
Yeah, I think if we start seeing 8K as more of a mainstream (consumer level) product, this would definitely level up what we can do with these in post.
I’m down.
@@KevinRossRN yeah the thing is that these 5k cams being 360 it's more like 1080 for what your viewing, I'f that. My max does pretty decent but you can really see the quality issue when you watch a 360 in VR. I was really close to getting a insta360 for my trip but am holding out to see if we get a new model with higher Rez soon
Let’s hope we’re in the cusp of that update. As far as the Oculus, how are you liking it? We ended up getting it when it initially launched.
Finally, You dropped your insta video
It was fun to make, and I think we did a bang up job 🤣🩻🏥
Glad to hear kiddo is bouncing back! 💜 (can you still call them that when they're teens? 😅)
Yeah, I think kiddo is still appropriate, although they’re all walking around looking like men these days.
But classic household as you know because he’s all healed up and Flynn ended up fracturing his arm just last week. Unfortunately that one is going to need surgery.
Never dull around here 💀
@@KevinRossRN Oh NOO. Dude. poor Flynn. :(
I bought the insta 360 went on vacation and took footage when I went to look at it it was all bleached out. Settings for sunlight need to be set on a phone and it doesn’t work out of the box. It was in Mexico 🇲🇽 so very sunny and no cloud cover. Also tried it after correcting it in shallow water and it broke immediately. Returned it and thankfully bought it at Best Buy for no issues on returns with failure. Switched to GoPro 360 cam and I should note that it’s not for underwater use as footage will come out blurry. But I got some amazing photos on a kayak on the following vacations and am satisfied. I use the same selfie stick I bought for the insta 360. It ruined my vacation but at least the stick works lol.
Yeah those setting are something that really needs some extra attention to dial in when it comes to the exposure. I found the same that when I was in all sun it was rough, and I really needed a ND filter.
That’s a bummer that the GOPRO didn’t perform under water. I’ve used the 7 in Belize and got some great shots. These things are fun, but they take more work than just hitting the record button.
Appreciate you sharing.
@@KevinRossRN we have a 7 for underwater too but the 360 max gets blurry under water and it has something to do with the lens shape. Excited for snowboarding season for sure with the 360, be well!
Gotcha. And yes! I’m looking forward to hitting the mountain very soon. Hope you enjoy your time there as well. 🤘
Hey Kevin I love the vids! Quick question… On garage band, how do you remove echo when recording two tracks?
Echo in a room? What are the actual audio tracks of?
Keep the 360 export. Watching through an oculus quest 2 is fantastic.
Yeah we’ve got one of those around here and it’s fun to see the footage through there.
Alway wanted to get a 360 , but just don’t like the fisheye effect you get , can you turn that off for the 360 effect or dose it have to remain on in all the videos
You can get a “flatter” profile if you want whether that’s in camera, or you correct this in post.
It’s definitely not for everyone, I get it. However it’s been pretty versatile so far when working with the footage because there are ways you can correct some of this in post.
Thanks for the answer I’m going to have to look into this more , but if you’re saying that you don’t have to have that fisheye effect then it’s something that appeals to me
A lot more thanks
