Correction for something I said in the video: The Micro SD card is not actually included with the standard Twin Edition, it is only included when selecting the Get Set option or higher. Sorry for the mistake.
Here I review the new Insta360 ONE RS Twin Edition; a hybrid action and 360 camera. I test the video quality, slow motion, low light performance, audio and 360 degree capabilities and conclude with my overall opinion.
This camera was provided to me by Insta360 at no charge for the purpose of making this review.
I compose the music for this channel myself.

............ song name from 7.10 - 8,37 min
These tracks mostly don't have names as I make the music for every video myself.
@@Roos-Reviews .. really good melody,relaxing, ambient,nice work
Tired of the GOPRO illusion. Expensive cameras that overhead and fry chips. Very happy with my 0ne RS. Found a sea turtle laying eggs on the beach. She took 45 minutes to lay her eggs. If I had a gopro the camera would have overheated before she was done and returned to the water. One RS did the job and I have the video and a big smile.
Just 2 min in the video and i can already say that this is the BEST review about the one RS! The story telling, the humor, the sounds, and the cinematic are superb! I have watched almost all reviews about the one RS and this is the one that stands out! BRILLIANT!
Wow, thanks so much!
Finally a very good video that I was looking for. All wel explained with the proper footage. Keep doing these great reviews !!
I was on the fence about it, but this is the only video to make my mind up that this is the camera best suited to what I want. Very informative and great depth. Thank you!
Great review! I love your voice, it is so calming.
I know all the troubles of making a quality video. Hope you get well soon.
Thank you
Been looking to get an Insta360 One RS for a while. Just not sure whether to get the "Twin Edition" with the stock 360 lens, or go with the 4K standalone and get the 1-Inch 360 upgrade bundle. I'm particular about low-light imagery, and wasn't sure if the stock 360 lens was any good. Your video was the first to convince me that even the stock 360 lens was good enough. Your video was also the only one of the dozens I've seen that point out that there's no horizon levelling on the 4K boost lens, which was a consideration for me and always assumed the 4K lens had, until you pointed it out, then alternately pointing out that the stock 360 lens had it. So yes, this video put me well into being convinced that the Twin Edition is good enough for my needs without breaking the bank for the 1-Inch 360 (which I may still get in the much later future for more specialized content).
Great video for the comprehensive review, especially without so much focus on yourself (which I honestly hate about some other reviewers) and instead focusing solely on the camera's features, pros, and cons. And your voiceover is very calm and soothing, without the exaggerations that so many other reviewers do. Keep up the good work! Hope you can do a review on the 1-Inch 360 lens and the 1-Inch 4K lens soon.
Thanks for that excellent comment.
One on the best feature I found in this camera compared to the other popular brand is that it record in one single file in MP4.
Gopro split long time video in 4Gb files and in post, 1 hour recorded is splitted in 7 files of 4GB with a file naming convention where you need to rely on file timestamp instead of filename ordering on multiple recorded session. Splitted files from the other brand has also ramdomly 0 to 2 frames overlap between each files which is time comsuming to adjust in post.
Oh god this is amazing news. I just order an RS to replace a very tempermental hero 11. The frame overlap is infuriating when the primary use for my camera is to record 4 hours straight of a band performance. Our singer uses a nice Sony 4k camcorder that records in 1 or 2 huge files and the audio/video of the gopro files are ALWAYS going in and out of sync in addition to that micro split second where you get a video frame but the audio drops.
Your review really helped me. I can't wait to buy the Insta360 One RS Action Camera
I suppose the orange base helps if you've dropped it but otherwise, I'm not that keen on drawing attention to myself, especially when making a video with people around. Who was the famous photographer who pointed out that when you take a photo of someone, you are not taking a photo of someone, you are taking a photo of someone having their photo taken, unless you keep your profile very low. (You mentioned that niggle in the video actually).
I loved the shadow demo of the 360 degree horizon levelling! That's a shot I will steal in the future...
360VR footage... yes, it's perhaps the best way to "time travel" when viewed with a VR headset. I have a lot of footage made that way before the covid days when I stayed with my son and his young family for a long weekend, and haven't seen them since - I can put on the headset and re-live it all.
All in all, yet another review which really makes me wonder why the rest bothered. Why didn't I subscribe before? Well, now I have.
Thanks, Peter! Yes I agree it certainly will be easier to find if dropped into long grass.
Thanks bud for the review! Hope your toes is better! Also, love the side comments! 10/10
Oh! I've only watched the first minute and I have to wish you well! My nephew was in a similar position recently - he dropped a grand piano on his foot (at the place he works) - but by way of encouragement, after a few weeks of hobbling, he's now fully recovered. Now I'll watch the rest of the video...
Ouch, that sounds like a scene from Looney Toons episode. We don't appreciate our limbs, eyes, ears, vocal chords etc. as much as we should until they stop working.
Really enjoyed that and I’ve been a TV cameraman for 35 years so I know a thing or two about cameras. Thanks for taking the time. I shall be reviewing it soon from a motovlogging perspective so it was nice to learn about it. Hope your foot makes a speedy recovery. 👍🏍🎥
Thanks for that! 35 years, wow that's amazing.
Didn't you comment on another channel about this ca ear and shooting in 25 fps? Now I wanna see your review
Toe-tally worth watching! I'm still on the predecessor R One with the 360 and 1-inch modules and agree that the strength of this camera is the two in one you get. I thought I'd use the 1-inch module a lot more for both photos and video, but the truth is that more often than not I go for the phone when it comes to photos and Osmo Pocket for video. Most of the time I pick up the R One it has the 360 module on it.
Yep, you've got it. The 360 module is its greatest strength I think. Haha, toe-tally hilarious!
The 1" module actually gets upgrades with the RS core: webcam and a 5.4mpix cinema mode.
I wonder how the 360 vids look on quest 2, have you tried, does it worth it?
Thank you very much. I recently purchased one and this was the best review video on Insta360 RS I have watched so far.
Thanks for saying that.
I think it's a very good hybrid with only a few small compromises, can't wait to test it out, got a good deal in their shop, the twin rs, boost 4k and 360, with motorcycle kit and protectors for the 360 for €522
Super helpful and detailed review! Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant and well done mate - I like that it’s one system with interchangeable lenses - great for travel and sports. Best review so far, keep it up 👍🏼
i am not watching a review, I watching a movie. subscribed
Lmao love the jokes on this review but at the same time remains serious on the review.
Great review! …and worth to mention: your own (gorgeous) music! Awesome. Get well soon!
Thanks so much! I'm still hopping around but hopefully there are only another few weeks of this left.
Thank you for such an in depth quality review. Get well soon.
Thanks, David!
the only review that says flowstate lags and horizon wont work in 4k mod, thank you, i cancelled my order.
Thanks for the great review!!! I’m torn as to which one to get. This one or the X3? Will be using it mostly for cycling with occasional travels. Which would you recommend?
I much prefer the X3.
This channel is on if not above the level of potato jet
Thank you very much.
What an amazing review man. Loved it. One question though. Do you know if the camera is still water proof with the mic adapter attached? Or atleast, can it be used in rain for motovlogging with the mic adapter in place?
That's a good question. It is waterproof only when all the doors are locked closed, so I'm guessing once the adapter is attached there is potential for water ingress through that port if the rain is heavy or you're traveling at speed when it's raining. But maybe it would be ok as it's not being submerged. I think it's not without risk.
@@Roos-Reviews Thank you. I’m still not sure how I should go about motovlogging with this setup in the rain.
After listening to the the first 2 minutes of your video, I had to subscribe, you have a great sense of humor.
Sorry to hear about your foot, Even in such bad condition you made this awesome video, I am inspired by you and admire your devotion
Thank you very much.
Great reviews, btw, I recognize some of the scenes in your reviews and realized we live in the same city lol. I'm in the market for a new AC and having a tough time choosing between the DJI AC2/3, Insta360 One RS 4K or the GoPro Hero 10. I was ready to throw my credit card at the DJI AC3 until I found out about the focusing issue *sigh, too bad, I love my AC1 now I'm stuck at which one to get. I prefer not to go back into the GoPro wagon as I've had their cameras and their earlier versions was the one reason that pushed me away from the company. But the GP10/11 are quite nice from what I've seen in reviews.
I did love the Hero10, but it was just my luck that it became unreliable, just like my previous GoPros. The firmware just wasn't stable enough for me to stick with it.
My current 'take everywhere' action cam is the Action 2, now that the overheating has been solved enough for my needs.
@@Roos-Reviews I was wondering about the Action 2 now because of the better video apparently not having the AC3 blur problem, price is right also. I will be using it mostly for scuba diving so AC2 might just be a good upgrade with the dive housing. Thank you!
Great review. Well done.
This is a great channel. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos
Thank you for saying this to me.
Great review! You are hero man! Doing such a great job with broken toe is much appreciated! Thank you!
Haha thank you!
Ouch.... poor toes.... I can just imagine you cussing, jumping up and down while grabbing your foot due to the pain.
great vlog bro... very informative..
only if you would have added accessories that can be used with this...
Another feature has been added - webcam mode, though I do not think it includes all of the same features as their 360one Link camera. In fact there is no software provided to maximize that feature but it works, even with the 360 lens.
Very good review. I have subscribed just so i can enjoy your amazing edits
its really honest review ever.. thanks
Honest review but not filming in 60fps and higher and then say it doesn't overheat? Lol in all other reviews I see the cam overheats easily during 60 and higher FPS recordings. Most users will only use 30 fps? I disagree. 60 is the new standard, even here on youtube, specially when 240 fps is also available today. In my opinion, filming nonstop for hours in 4K60 is the minimum requirement for action cams today. Action cams are there to capture action, so high framerate is always an important selling point. If it overheats during 4K60 it's not a good cam. Unfortunately there are no other options since they all overheat...
Great video though and thanks for sharing!
GOOD BOY 👏 exhaustive tutorial !! However, I add a DEFECT that I found and I hope that Insta will immediately take care of it !!! The Wi-Fi is slow in fact if you use the app on your smartphone to check video recordings, the synchronization between action cam and iPhone (latest generation) is out of phase. In other words, the app sometimes delays the shooting and sometimes freezes the recording. It is therefore very difficult 😞 to operate with precision.
Love to see your take on the new Insta360 Ace Pro
I would love to try it, but I just spent quite a lot of money on the Pocket 3, so I will probably have to pass on this one.
@@Roos-Reviews Ah too bad, love your honest reviews and this one is suppose to be 'the' GoPro killer. Can't wait to see your next project!
Ive almost never heard of stabilization done thru the pc/mac when other youtubers did their reviews. This is the only one. Plus you have a pretty model so that helps dudes like me ;)
Super helpful video, thank you

thanks for the review its exactly the footage i needed to compare to the ace pro low light.. the ace pro seemed to fix this ...year leater. and with ultra hdring the footage with a 5nm cpu... but they did fix low light in a phoney way
Good job sir
Enjoy your review a lot! Just one quick question, without the need for 360 cam, would you prefer OneRS or gopro 10 more? Thanks and keep up the good work!! 👍🏻
If I didn't have any interest in 360 I'd choose the GoPro because it has better video specs and better waterproofing, but the ONE RS's 360 mod is so cool and lets me do so many creative things which are not possible with my Hero10.
@@Roos-Reviews true, 360 cam does open up a whole new perspective to take video. thanks for ur reply and all the best!
No problem! Have a great week my friend.
If you want an honest review, know that activation can be a problem. I tried to activate it on two iPhones and an iPad, and it would not activate. I then sent it back to them where I had to pay shipping charges. I got a message today saying there was nothing wrong with the camera and they want to send it back to me after I pay for shipping. It has been the worst experience I have ever had with an action camera. I hope I am the only one.
Sorry to hear that happened. I do wish companies would stop this forced activation thing.
@@Roos-Reviews I got it back and was able to connect it to the phone and upload the firmware.
Why does almost nobody talk at length about the 1" mod? It's by far the most interesting feature setting this camera apart from other action cams with dog shit image quality and huge distortion everywhere...
So horizon leveling can't be done if only using the 4k mod?
I have a One RS and the only thing I don’t like about it is that it takes an insanely long amount of time to transfer files from the card to the Studio app and the macOS Photos album
Thank you for this detailed useful explanation , my question : Can i control the camera from a distance & filming via the the Mobile App with Live View ? this important to me
Yes you can.
Amazing review thank you! One neg (and this is nitpicking based on my particular wants/needs): nobody ever tests the mic performance in a really loud environment such as a rock concert. Some cams have built in compression.. Which sometimes works well and sometimes sucks. So I'm wondering about this particular camera and how would it fare.
I avoid loud places at all costs.
@@Roos-Reviews lol
Beautiful review
for the WORk @ 09:47 ... ROOwowsome Diligence Bro...
The review was so good I forgot about your broken toe until you showed the boot 🤣💯
Awesome review well done 👍
Thanks
If they could have wider FOV at 4K60 with stabilization and better microphones it would crush the mid level market
For your information... The Camera will not record longer videos than 30 Minutes. Reaching the time limit, it will stop, and then start a new recording. There will be a 10-15sec gaps between the recordings. I already sent mine back. It makes nice videos but not capable to record gapless is a nogo for me...
Zzzzz 🎉
Nice video! Although mine did not come with a memory card….
Yes that was my mistake. Mine was the bundle with the card.
Hi, nice review mate. Thanks. I just need some advise here. I currently owning a DJI OSMO ACTION and Gopro Hero 5 Session. I am doing motor vlogging which involving static vlogging while reviewing accessories and 2 angle video facing front and facing back when on motorbike. And sometimes I do some action video when on MTB. I see that this 360 cam can make me just using 1 camera only for all these activities. More convenient. But I am confuse which one is better between One RS or One X2. Pleas advise. Thanks and get well soon.
The ONE RS is a good way to get two cameras for less money than buying two separate cameras. The 360 module is really superb and I love using it.
But for me, carrying the 360 camera and a separate small action camera like the action 2 is more convenient. I don't really like swapping modules and batteries when I need to change from 360 to non-360 video. I like to be able to quickly pull whichever camera I need out of my pocket and shoot within seconds, otherwise I may miss the shot.
@@Roos-Reviews thanks for your reply. Good opinion. I am thinking the same too and will take your advise. Sorry for the late respond. I just got the notification today. Thanks again.
Good content brother, stay safe
Thanks. You too
Two questions. 1. Is that a lens protector on the 4K mod? It can be replaced? 2. Is the horizon levelling for the 4K mod done in the studio app?
1. No, it's not user-replaceable. 2. At the time I did the review, there was no horizon leveling at all (with the 4K mod attached), but I think it was supposed to become available in the desktop software soon, if it hasn't already.
Superb Review!!!!
I forgot your channel name I only remember was rooo. But searching that didn't show your video.I have searched many time until I searched dji osmo pocket rooo instead and got it.
Welcome back :)
Hi how are you? I'm from Brazil and an admirer of your content, congratulations for the beautiful work. I'm trying problems with overheating, crashing videos with few minutes recorded and file corruption with my insta360 one rs, have you ever had any of these problems or have you heard something about? I only use the best memory cards and necessary equipment, the problem is really with the camera.
I haven't experienced those problems with mine, sorry. Maybe their tech support team will be able to help you solve it or replace your camera.
wish i clocked this video before i ordered my one rs xD
So... would stabisation inside the Insta360 app fix the stabilization issues in the dark so that it is ultra-smooth or not? The jiggles looked so bad I did not think they could be fixed that easy by the Insta360 app. It is the only thing I wish was tested?
Is this waterproof without case?
Sigh not sure which one to get, the RS or the X2
Hey i wanted to know the maximum recording time on 1080 as I need an action camera with the best battery life for long journeys and treks
Do you have to update everything on the phone or can you use laptop or ipad.
Thank you 😎👍
Every effort count
I lost my gopro max last week and my gopro 8 broke down this summer, heard that gopro is not bringing out a new max2... I'm interested in the insta 360 one RS, is it worth it or should I better buy another gopro max?
ps; yes I like to have an action cam and also a 360 cam
What do you advice?
I would choose the X3 over the RS. It does 360 and also non-360 with its 4K single lens mode. The biggest reason for me is the large display. The RS has a tiny display that I find difficult to use.
Personally I prefer to use both a dedicated small action camera like the Action 2 and use the 360 camera only for 360 footage. Switching from 360 to Action, back and forth on the RS is a bit annoying when I'm out doing stuff. It's easier to carry two cameras.
Thanks!
Sorry I missed this and thanks very much for the Superthanks. That is one of the first times anyone has sent something like that and I only just found it now.
Anyone get audio bleed coming through into their insta360 one RS recordings?
"it can do up to 6k resolution"
*Laughs bc it looks like trash.
*Realizes I'm watching on 480p 😅
Excuse my ignorance, but how do you get those selfie videos like when you are riding a bike or skateboard etc. where I don’t see a pole of some sort
360 cameras can hide the selfie stick. Because of the nature of spherical video, the stick is only visible directly below the camera and only takes up a tiny part of the spherical image, so it's easy for that to be removed by the software that merges the two halves of the sphere together.
The Insta360 website says „All three lenses support 360° leveling.“ - are you sure that this will work only with the 360 mod?
I'm on the latest firmware and there is no built-in horizon levelling of any kind when the 4K boost module is attached. You have to level it in the desktop software in post.
If you pick the Twin Edition you don’t get any memory card with the camera, and I didn't get it when I bought my old One R..
(I suspect you only got it with the camera as you do reviews?)
Yes, you are right. I have the 'get set' version, which includes the sd card. I thought a card was included with the basic twin edition. My mistake. Thanks for pointing this out.
Will this connect to a Samsung Note 8?
Isn't the quote a jack of all trades and master of none is better than a master of one
I can get this one for €277, and the X3 for €519. X3 worth the money in this case?
If you want to use it mostly for 360 video the X3 is a lot better because of the physical design and large screen. But the One RS is better for non-360 footage. That 277 price is very appealing though.
Who composed the music, between 7:00 and 8:39?
I did
@@Roos-Reviews Very well done! I love it!
Unlike Chris Rock face 😂
Am I the only one but all videos in all reviews of insta 360 cameras are kind of blurry?
The 360 module only outputs the reframed footage in approximately 1080p so compared to a GoPro the footage is soft, but if you use the 4K boost mod it's better.
It's total BS that you have to activate the camera by installing an app on your phone. I'm not a fan of those kind of invasive requirements. I wish I would have known that before I bought the RS.
This camera have 3 modes of stabilisation and you are showing only one and telling not so good
Videos after uploaded to UA-cam is having some pixelation in 1080p resolution. Seems fine in 4K Is there any fix for this? You can see this clearly here 14:15.
There's not much I can do to avoid UA-cam's compression. I exported the ONE RS files in Pro Res, the highest option it has, and uploaded to UA-cam in 4K. But then UA-cam crushes it.
Seems more like a bitrate issue rather than a resolution issue. Too many changing pixels between frames due to the high shutter speed might be causing the majority of that.
An ND filter and a longer shutter speed exposure might help to reduce the bitrate-related pixelation.
Additionally, exporting the 4K video at a recommended minimum bitrate of 25 Mbps would be *decent* but not perfect for UA-cam 🤔
6:15 terrible
I have the One RS. It is garbage. I am sending it back tomorrow. The software you are forced to use with 360 video is junk. It would not even start without crashing on my computer. A Ryzen 9 system I built. A VERY powerful $4,000+ system. Then with the 4k mod 2/3 of the video files were corrupted every time I used it. I also have a DJI Osmo Action that never fails to work properly. The One RS is just junk IMO.
Sorry to hear of your problems. I have a pretty basic PC I built for $550 with a Ryzen 2700X and a 4gb graphics card and it runs without problems on that. I wonder if something is configured differently on your system that's causing the crashes. What GPU are you running?
@@Roos-ReviewsNvidia GTX3070 and an AMD RX6500XT. Yea, it was really frustrating . I click the program and it starts, gets to the main screen and closes right away with no input from me. Tech "support" was useless. I told them what it did and what I tried plus sent the log file. They proceeded to tell me to try all the things I already tried and asked a bunch of questions they could have answered by simply looking at the log file I sent. A google search found many others having the same issue. The video and sound quality on the files that worked was far worse than my older DJI Osmo Action. Even the stabilization was warpy and distorted. Just not a good camera for the money IMO.
Did you format sd card?
@@Martijnwat of course.
how would you compare this to the Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360? I need the 360 the most. thanks very good review and hope you're on the mend.
The one inch produces better video and photos, especially in lower light, but the difference isn't as big as I expected. If 360 is your main focus I highly recommend the X3 rather than the One RS. It's so much more enjoyable to use. I reviewed it on my channel recently and found it to be a superb device.
@@Roos-Reviews is the X3 much better than the X2? I just got a good deal on the X2 on ebay to try out but I could jump to X3 is worth it. thanks again
In terms of the video quality, no it's not a big upgrade. Both are limited to 5.7K30fps. But the X3 is much nicer to use with the giant display and great menu. With the X2 you might find yourself using your phone to access some controls and stuff, where as the X3 is a very stand alone device. If your X2 is a bargain price though, grab it. You'll get similar looking footage in the end.
@@Roos-Reviews like you i'm prob waiting for the next jump specs which seem will come next year. many thanks
Great review!
