I love that your opening shot is a view of all the accessories that you will feature in the video. That makes it easy to find ones I need to know about. Thank you for that simple opening!
The little charger cable that came with the Bushman Halo I found incredibly useful for adding a Ulanzi BG Battery to the Theta Z1, with a riser of course.
Came for the camera tips and stayed for the life tips. Reason 11 is why I'm buying a 360 x3 soon. I want to take my good memories into VR for long term. Excellent video and amazing info. 💪😃👍
been doing it with VR since the Samsung Gear 360, nothing like going back to beach with your kids as little ones and just being there, or at a wedding and go back and listen/watch conversations at the table behind you that didn't hear first time :) words cant express how so much incredibly better than plain photos or video for reliving.
Thanks for the list and Congratulations! Another one to have on hand is a leveler, not that you will need it all the time but its another good accessory to have.
Ben! The missing accessory is a bag for the camera and all the tripods and accessories to them. If you have one that is your favorite, please share it with us
Congrats to you and the future Ms. Ben. One thing I'd have added, and it's more video specific is the Insta360 Cold Shoe to take an external mic like the Rode Go and mount the receiver in the camera blindspot. It works on the One X and One R (upside down) and would probably work with others that can accept an external microphone when you mount the Cold Shoe upside down on a selfie stick.
I subscribed to your channel after seeing your review on the insta 360 x2. I love your honesty. I hate when a you tuber give great reviews or changes their opinion after receiving a item from a company. Please continue to keep it real.
You should do these videos in 360. :) That would be really authentic. Tnx for the videos I'm doing 360 photos since 2011, my first setup was a cheaper Sony DSLR with a 16mm lens and a DYI wooden "nodal ninja". Then my father in law made me weights for my tripod and a better nodal ninja turned from metal. He was a turner. Now I have a real nodal ninja with fisheyes. :)
Contrats ! M’y girl saw some new accessories like the bushman monopod v2 and the popeye. I told her ‘Ben made me bought them’ 😆 For the halo light, can’t wait to get one for cave vr tours 😉 Great video 👍🏻
Congratulations Mr Ben on the engagement. A great top 10 and a couple I need to add to my collection. I get a lot of use out of an XSories XStrap - like a big zip tie that attaches to a surprising number of things and gives a very sturdy tripod mount. I also moved from the bushman tripod base to a Leofoto MT-03 (more compact folded, more sturdy, and legs unfold to give a bigger base).
i usually dont post, like or subcribe. many congratulations Mr Claremont, she is very lucky to have you. and many thanks for taking the dedication to us, feeding with so valuable knowledge of this new market, im getting a 360 camera today. +1 Fan to your collection
Man you're amazing! I'm lost here in Korea trying to get back my 360 Google shootings, have a Samsung gear 360, the old one, was about to change camera, but it of budget, with your videos I'm excited again to use my camera!! Thank you!!
Cheers my Man. Been using the Bushman Monopod in the mountains since it came out. The four part model might not stick out of the pack like you said though which is the only drawback of the three part. Congrats on the life change!
congrats ben! to add the list is the 3m long monopod, if u really wanna simulate drone shot, thats the best. also one of those gorillapod, if you dont have a magnetic surface for popeye to stick on, the gorilla pod on a branch would help make the shot.
After watching this video I immediately bought the magnet. It's not the Popeye, but it's cheaper! It is a little smaller but holds 25 kg. For an Insta360 One X2 it can be enough !!
Hey Ben. Great stuff. You're the only 360 channel I watch. I'd love to see a video for competitors to the original GoPro fusion stick - specifically sticks that don't require any locking, where you can just pull and it comes out and stays in place. Ideally with a built in tripod. And not much bigger than the camera when folded. Thanks!
Hi, congratulations on the great content. A help: Do you know if I can use a power bank always connected to one r? Which support do you recommend to use in the car?
Thanks as usual, your videos are very useful, but I wanted to ask you what types of backpacks you use for your equipment, I have 2 types of photographic backpacks but they are too big and more suitable for Reflex cameras. By the way: Congratulations ... and daughters !!!
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm new to 360 photography, but not to memory cards. In my experience, memory cards that remain in active use have a lifespan of about three years. That means, in about three years, give or take a year, I'm going to start getting enough data errors that I cannot rely on the card anymore. This doesn't apply if you leave the card in a case on a shelf; then, it would last probably forever. The more grueling the environment, the shorter the lifespan, so a memory card in a windshield-mounted GPS probably won't last as long as the same memory card in a pocket camera. Regardless, I don't count on memory cards lasting more than a few years in active use. Incidentally, reformatting the memory card sometimes extends the life a little bit, but usually should be done only if the card is getting errors, as using the card in any way shortens its life a little bit. It might be a good idea to reformat after several months, maybe once or twice a year. Edit 06/14/2022: I have been testing my new Ricoh Theta X for the last few days. I estimate that a 1 TB memory card could hold about sixty hours of video at the highest resolution the X can shoot. I also took my X with me on a walk to shoot video, but it shut down after five minutes with a high temperature warning. The outdoor temperature was about 80 °F (27 °C).
I like the bushman halo light, thats really good with power levels and white balance features. How long is the battery lasting and how long to recharge?
Thanks Ben and Congratulations on your recent engagement! The Halo light is very exciting. We use 360 cameras for documenting existing buildings and we have been building our own light solutions. Hopefuly the Halo is the first of many lights made specifically for the 360 market.
Great job Ben on another illuminating video. I appreciate your down to earth but concise product reviews. I also enjoy the fact that you feature other 360 personalities in your videos. I'm a student of your virtual tour pro class and you have become my all things 360 guru. Congrats on your engagement.
Congratulation Ben! I have a question on 1TB card. Like you mentioned you used around 50 gig on it, how long dose it takes to load the data on phone? is it slow or fast?
Ben I am curious why your links to products are not there? Affiliate links are cool too. I value your recommendations suppliers may vary with viewer locations but it’s just nice if what you like has a source link to go shopping from.
The halo light is the most tempting thing on this list for me. I've literally wanted something like that since I got my first Gear 360 four years ago..
I ended up getting the halo light..and I love it. I use it for photography...and it also makes a great flash light. My friend doesn't have a ceiling light at his gaming table, and I just hang it above from a booms stand to light the whole table.
the next thing on my list is to get weights for monopod legs. But right now I am in between day jobs, and EVERYTHING is currently outside of my budget.
First of all - congratulations on the engagement! Exciting times. Second, thanks for the comparison between the two monopods. Had my Bushman stolen from my car recently along with some other kit, and been struggling to find direct replacement. (No UK suppliers of the Bushman at the moment so it's always an import job.) I'd seen the Best360 one online but hadn't been sure if it was good enough replacement. Now I'm confident to order it. Third, congratulations again!
Another great tip accecoire: get the Ulanzi BG-2. You add for only ca 20 euro 440gr of weight to the monopod AND get 6800 Mah battery power to extend your shooting-time . two in one!
Just a quickie, the Best360 monopod will be available in both carbon fibre or aluminium (slightly cheaper). Always love your content and regular updates. Congratulations to you both, have many years of happiness together.
I was looking forward to buy the Bushman halo light, for real estate photography when not enough lighting is available. Trying to get the least amount of noise. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
It’s sad, people will not understand what virtuality looks like until they actually see it. The oculus quest two is amazing and glad you recommended it
Bro, get your amazon links to the products all set up, I wanted to buy few things from the list, would love to help you get you some commissions in your pocket as well.
Couldn't you open the Neewer's lightstand legs only a little bit (just enough to stabilize your camera) then tighten the knob back in, to have a smaller nadir to edit out?
Where can I find that protective neoprene case you mention in #9? I looked on Amazon and ebay but not finding it at all. I got the silicon cap but feel like it attracts dust and then can scratch the lens as you slide it on/off. This neoprene case seems like a way better protective sleeve.
Love your videos love my Insta 360 but I’m really looking for advice on how to make my videos look crystal clear like your guises. What editing software are you using because it does not look like that from the phone?
Loved the point that you made about the Quest 2. That's the reason why I'm getting the Insta 360 One X2. Can you please make video on your workflow from the Insta 360 One X2 and the QUEST 2? How to get the photos in there, what to do for video, how to view them, etc?
"God mode" drone. There are several companies that make FPV drones slim enough to carry an Insta360 One R or GoPro Max and not be seen. Try to imagine the invisible selfie stick effect but the camera can be flown anywhere you want. This is kind of an evolution of the tie-up between Insta360 and DJI, but in a smaller, more portable form factor, not to mention more affordable.
Excellent presentation!
My favourite 360 channel without a question ☺️ 🙏
Thanks 😀
Congratulations Ben !!!
I love that your opening shot is a view of all the accessories that you will feature in the video. That makes it easy to find ones I need to know about. Thank you for that simple opening!
Congrats on the engagement
Congrats Ben
The Bushman V2 has outperformed for me against all other weighted Monopods
Congratulations, Ben..
Congratulations on your engagement! 🥂🍾
CONGRATULATIONS! !!!
Thankyou!!!
Dear Ben, can you show a full room tour on the oculus 2 to a client?
The little charger cable that came with the Bushman Halo I found incredibly useful for adding a Ulanzi BG Battery to the Theta Z1, with a riser of course.

It's pretty cool that you are promoting a competitor.
Thanks, although I don’t see us as competitors but fellow camera nerds 😀
@@BenClaremont Thats the Spirit ! I do also think we can all learn from each other, for our potential in out Hobby´s or work like you do...
Congratulations!!!! Looking forward to the 360 videos & photos of the event! :)

I personally like the Lowepro Urbex BP 28L.

Congrats Mr. Ben!! And, thanks for all that you do!!
Hey, congratulations!
Ben, love video on how to access and view your 360 videos, images on the Oculus Quest 2.
Although it may be banal, but a microfiber is helpful.
For sure!
Good show...
Cheers my Man. Been using the Bushman Monopod in the mountains since it came out. The four part model might not stick out of the pack like you said though which is the only drawback of the three part. Congrats on the life change!
Thanks for another great video, and a big congratulations to you and your fiancée!
🙏🏻
Congratz Mr Ben! Cannot wait to see the bachelor party pix and vids in 360! :-D
Wouldn't an extra long monopod be a good addition to this list?
Bought three items after watching this. I have needed the weights. I have wanted a low profile little tripod.
congrats ben! to add the list is the 3m long monopod, if u really wanna simulate drone shot, thats the best. also one of those gorillapod, if you dont have a magnetic surface for popeye to stick on, the gorilla pod on a branch would help make the shot.
Congratulations Ben!
Thanks a lot for your perfect video.
After watching this video I immediately bought the magnet. It's not the Popeye, but it's cheaper! It is a little smaller but holds 25 kg. For an Insta360 One X2 it can be enough !!
What app do you use on the Oculus to view your own 360 content? Congrats!
Just the native media browser 😀
Could you do a video featuring the X-Knight Invisible Drone made for the Insta360 One R ??
Congratulations!
Hey Ben. Great stuff. You're the only 360 channel I watch.

By the way: Congratulations ... and daughters !!!
Thanks! I use Think Tank backpacks for my gear 😀
@ben What about a mechanical slider for time laps or dramatic video?
I'm surprised that you didn't mention using a tent pin to hold down the tripod through those holes (outdoor use of course).
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm new to 360 photography, but not to memory cards. In my experience, memory cards that remain in active use have a lifespan of about three years. That means, in about three years, give or take a year, I'm going to start getting enough data errors that I cannot rely on the card anymore.

I have a question on 1TB card. Like you mentioned you used around 50 gig on it, how long dose it takes to load the data on phone? is it slow or fast?
Thanks buddy. That will depend on the phone- I have not had any speed issues with my iPhone 12 Pro Max but can’t exactly speak for older phones.

Hello great video! Could you please provide a link for the protective neoprene case? Thanks
Man another great video, some of these accessories I only learned about them in this video. Keep making great video
10:08 the moment I subscribed 😂
You do need a faceook profile to use the oculus, which is why I can never have one. As soon as someone jailbreaks the equipment, maybe.
Congrats on your engagement! Where can I get a shorter thumbscrew for the Insta360 One R mounting bracket? Mine sticks out past the camera.

How do I view my go pro max footage in VR on the oculus quest 2?
Great review, thank you!
Do you happen to come across with 360 realtime wired FPV systems with related vr headset?
Do you mean a live 360 feed into a VR headset? Yes that’s a thing
