      In actual fact, Insta supplied a mount that is so rubbish, it would NOT stay done up and despite my 6ft 2 OtherHalf trying to tighten it for me every few miles, it suddenly caused my new Insta360 x3 to swing downwards onto my rotating tyre. Scuffed the lens. Ruined. Luckily Wex replaced it for me. I'm talking about the carbon bike mount (cyclist here). I'll stick with the PGYtech mount as it's excellently sturdy!

      @@alicejwho Is this the bike mount that attaches both sides of the steering stem and contains a gopro mount plus selfie stick mount? Did you have it tight from the start? If it's a little loose, allowing a little movement the teeth on the ratchets will actually eat themselves and will render it useless. As for loosening, Is everything clean and free from oils and grease? Clean it up if there is and apply a bit of carbon grip paste to create more friction if needed.
      I'm not a sales person for Insta, I just understand that they simply cannot supply rubbish mounts because it would kill their business. Are there lots of complaints regarding these mounts? I really don't know. Just trying to help.

    I’ve seen many reviews and end results of what the Insta X3 is capable of and to be honest if it’s used correctly and the footage is edited correctly, the results are mind blowing. I know you say this isn’t a review but you’ve provided an opinion of it and its components and to me that constitutes a review.
    The X3 is by all accounts significantly more versatile than the X2 and the larger screen is not a negative. As others have implied, this is a strange video where you’re remarking on the quality of the items you were sent without either using the camera the mounts or reading the manual!

      I have been working on a genuine review, and I tried incredibly hard not to comment on the features sands functionality of the bits inside of the box because I wanted to reserve my judgment until I actually reviewed the product. Still, at the same time, I WAS disappointed. I've owned over 30+ action cameras, and the quality didn't match the price tag. I've been reviewing the camera all weekend, and the camera itself is great don't get me wrong, but I've also upgraded from the X2 to the X3, which means I've lost £300 in doing so, and I'm seeing for that £300 is very little. I don't hide my emotions, and I was disappointed but I'm reserving judgment until I finish my review

    That big screen saves you connecting to your phone to change settings, a great thing if you need glasses to read tiny screens like the X2 , probably not worth an upgrade but certainly X3 for me over the X2 if buying new. Also look for those lovely codes that give you bundles for free.

    I have watched all your videos and do enjoy your content, however this video definitely falls short of your usual content. I do agree everyone is entitled to give their opinion based on their experience, but I have to disagree with almost every aspect of your review. I have owned a couple of insta 360 products like the insta 360 go cameras to the x2 and x3. I have also purchased the motorcycle bundle with all the same mounts. my experience with their products from unboxing to the software to the quality of the products has been nothing but positive. I have been using the motorbike kit for about 2 years now producing content on Instagram etc, and haven't had a single issue. I feel a lot of the complaints you had in the video were completely down to user error. I agree that the mount that has to be assembled is a bit unnecessary, And you did say you will reserve your judgment until you use them on the road, Which in my opinion isn't going to be a great judgment based on how you just unboxed it. I look forward to seeing your review as it is a wonderful camera with so many possibilities.

    I've used Ram mounts and Insta360 cams (and action cams in comparison) on 6 different bikes and never had an issue. I can agree the image quality on the consumer level Insta360 cams is not as good as the last few generations of the Hero line (because the 5k+ image on a 360 cam is spread around a larger sphere, which reduces quality as you crop into any particular isolated area of the footage). Also), the majority of your viewing audience can't tell much difference in image quality on their phones. However, the quality of this tech is also about image capture and reframing capabilities. Just try getting out and trying the gear before deciding how good it is.

    I feel i must comment to defend the RAM mounts. There excellent. The trick here is to buy what you need not a kit with everything and anything thrown in. Ram products are available individually and as someone already commented the one that uses the clutch or brake mounting bolts is much better than the generic round the tube thing thats basically for cyclists !

    The mounting kits appear to be copies of the RAM Mount system - which although look unattractive, are robust and simple to use (even with gloves on). May have been cheaper to actually buy genuine RAM Mounts by the sounds of it.
    *Insta360 footage* - can be quite strange as an account of a motorcycle journey and perhaps in the same way as drone footage can be.
    Anything that is not done in POV from a rider's perspective, is not the same journey the rider experienced... is my thinking. This becomes particularly pertinent when trying to bring others along with you; experience the same things. A view five feet behind and four feet above you is not far, but can be a completely different perspective that the rider never sees. Even more so with drone footage. It works with footage of 'extreme sports' and other applications where an exclusive view is appropriate, but footage should be about the journey and not looking down at the back of your head.
    Each to their own, but I use drone footage only to establish placement in the environment. The rest is rider's POV and none of that weird 360 stuff.

      I used my X2 extensively in my trip videos and loved it, my gripe with the X3 is the amount it cost me to upgrade and what I got for the money wasn't worth it. My real issue isn't with the RAM mounts, It's the adhesive mounts that felt cheap! The U-bolt was fine, it was just in pieces ahahah but the adhesive mounts felt like Fake Action camera mounts.

      @@SaffySprocket Yeah, I think GoPro mounts are made from a plastic resin that is durable under harsh conditions - stress and temperature.
      I had a GoPro Hero 9 and a Hero 10, then bought a Hero 11. Not much of an upgrade, but what not many people talk about is the new file format type. You need to download a codec (if not new computer) to view the footage and it demands a fast computer processor and good memory.
      If you have something mediocre now, you'll need to upgrade that as well, at an added expense. Once again, for not much benefit.

If you want it or vlogging, I'd recommend a GoPro 9 and up because of the built-in stabilisation; any will do if you want it for security. However, what I really would recommend is even if you buy a camera second-hand, go online and register the camera on your GoPro account and then pay for their monthly cloud subscription. It also serves as insurance. They replaced my GoPro 8 after it stopped working with a GoPro 10. I had to ship it back for inspection, and they gave me a free upgrade.
