Some have found sliding a case over the lenses can cause scratches with sand/grit, especially with the silicone cover. I put a small lens cloth over the lenses then put on the cover/case. Had mine a month and still learning.
Thanks for the tip. I keep the cover really clean and haven't had any problems, but I could definitely see that a dirty cover would cause some problems.
Great tip. Not sure if I’ve damaged my lens using the silicone cover over the past year. I haven’t noticed any scratches, but I will be using a lens cloth underneath the silicone cover from here on out.
MAHALO NUI LOA, bruddah! Great tips and intro for beginners. The simple step by step makes this experience less overwhelming... Iʻm not feeling as intimidated as I watch your videos and Iʻm looking forward to checking out your book! ALOHA from Oʻahu!
Received my 360 x3 a few days ago. Watched a lot of videos on getting started. Really liked your video. I also ordered your book from Amazon. Looking forward to making videos of my bike rides.
Thanks for the video ! I have an X3 ready to take to Thailand end of April and I need to unbox it and get used to it. Your video is a great insight into it.
I have purchased 5 of your book at one time.or another. 4 for various GoPros I have owned including the Max and 1 for the Insta360 X3 I recently purchased. Your book are just the best when it comes to action cameras. I have recommended them to anyone I know that is just getting Into these cameras or just wants to maybe pick up some tricks. I think your books are grest for all whether it's for the beginner or even someone like me that has been using these type of cameras for several years(my first action camera was a a GoPro Hero3 when they basically first came out). Your videos are awesome as well. Thanks for the great work.
THANK YOU!! That is amazing feedback to hear. It feels so good to know that I have been able to help you grow and learn with your cameras through the years.🙏 Also, thank you for recommending my books to other people. I try my hardest to give people everything they will need. Have a wonderful day!
Great timing! I'm happy I was able to help you out, and definitely check out the book. It's a handy resource to have when you are trying to figure things out. Thanks!
Mr. Hetrick. Is it possible to link photos and videos together. And not to add any music, but to hear myself talk, and other people around me, if there are. And make the film into a 10 minute film or longer ? I don`t have this camera yet. I`ll get it possibly within the next few months.
I love my X3 since i purchased it one month ago. I use it on my bike tours to record remarkable moments. Sometimes I have 30 clips after one day shooting. They are all in my album and of course it takes some work to process them in the app. But I don't see a difference in the thumbnail version of those clips 'before' and 'after'. Is there a setting to view the differnce between them ? So it is easier to choose the next clip to edit
insta360 X3 question: say i'm riding on my motorcycle and want to pause recording when using a selfie stick. do i have to stop and get off my bike or can i use my phone app to pause and restart recording? i'm trying to avoid buying the $70 dollar remote. great vlog!
Hi Randal, Yes, you can stop recording using the app on your phone. Then, when you are ready to record again, reconnect and start recording. If you want GPS stats though (and overlays) it's best to use the GPS Remote.
@@JordanHetrick thanks for that. there is no motorcycle mount for the gps remote, nor would i want more clutter on the handlebars. using my phone app is convenient.
I really enjoyed the video. It was very informative. I do have a question. Can you splice two videos together during editing if one video is the Insta360 and the other is on my iPhone?
Thank you for the information, I enjoy watching this content. What I'm asking, is it supports Samsung A53 Ram 8 and 256GB memory. Please explain sir. Thank You
If only video and photo recorded by x3 can be use during editing or is possible to ad photos and video from smartphone for example? Anybody knew what would happened if this sticky Glass cover Will go under water?
Got mine about a week ago...worked well until today....stops at the three minute mark every time. Software up to date. Traded out sd card and no change and the same card worked well for the first week. Very disappointed...kept it cool while filming, no damage...sending it back tomorrow morning. Not sure which is more disappointing...my Go Pro or my Insta360x3 :>(. Your book is awesome...if someone's Insta360x3 does work the book is a tremendous resource.
Thank you for the positive words about the book John and I'm so sorry to hear that your camera didn't work out. I hope you give it another try. I know one person (out of many) who had the same problem, so maybe you just got a dud. My camera has continued to work well through lots of rigorous use. Thanks again and best of luck!
Jordan, It was weird boxing up the camera to send back. It was awesome to have such a great reference source as your book and not be able to take advantage of your sharing information. Hope you take great pride in such an accomplishment. Good job!!
Please I need advice. My insta360 x3 is not recording fine. Voice and movement is not smooth and single Lens look everything in blue tones. Is it camera problem or memmory card not fine? Everything is new. Please help.
The blue tone is most likely the White Balance setting (which can be found in the settings hidden on the right side of the screen.) It may have accidentally been switched over to manual. Change that back to Auto and it should fix that. As far as the voice and movement not being smooth, make sure to transfer the files onto your phone or computer first. Viewing the files while they are still on the sd card can sometimes cause this. I hope that helps solve your problems!
Hola recomiendas la última actualización de firmware de la insta360x3,o por el contrario la anterior versión de firmware si no da problemas dejarla👍🏻👍🏻un saludo desde Benidorm ( España ) 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just bought an x3 and thank you so much for these videos! I’m a complete newbie!! Now I need your book!! But your videos are amazing!
Just bought our first 360 x3 . Enjoying your videos and have purchased your book for backup. Thanks Jordan
Some have found sliding a case over the lenses can cause scratches with sand/grit, especially with the silicone cover. I put a small lens cloth over the lenses then put on the cover/case. Had mine a month and still learning.
Good solution. Indeed the silicone cover tends to actually attract sand/grit. I was surprised by this design flaw.
Thanks for the tip. I keep the cover really clean and haven't had any problems, but I could definitely see that a dirty cover would cause some problems.

I just rinse 🚿 Mine in water

The x3 is a great camera. Easy and fun to use but opens up so many options. Editing is the best part :)
Totally agree!
Thanks for the video !
I have an X3 ready to take to Thailand end of April and I need to unbox it and get used to it. Your video is a great insight into it.
U explained in simple way which is very understanding❤
Thanks for this awesome and SUPER helpful video for beginners! I'm not so much afraid of my camera anymore :)
Yay! I'm glad I helped you get past the fear.👏 Have fun with your new camera!
Being an enthusiast VFX artist I can't wait to receive mine!
Thank. Can’t wait to get my 360 for skiing and motorcycle riding. I see some good video.
You're welcome! Yes, it is such a fun camera- great for both of those activities!

Hi @Jordan. Great UA-cam thank you. I cannot find the Insta360 Studio app on my M1 chip MacBook Air. Do you know anything about this?
Hi John,
You can download the Insta360 Studio App from Insta360's website under Downloads. Hope that helps you!
Thanks@@JordanHetrick you are a Champion. Love your UA-cams, you have a great screen presence and patient manner. I am a fan! 😀
I have the sticky lens guard but I think it lowers the image quality, you think it's the case and should take it out
Thank you for the information, I enjoy watching this content. What I'm asking, is it supports Samsung A53 Ram 8 and 256GB memory. Please explain sir. Thank You
What memory card is the best option?
Any way to get a digital version of the book? I live in China, no chance to get the paper version here.
Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thanks!!!
Wellsaid sir❤
Thank you!
Can we operate the camera from mobile phone?
Yes, you can use the Insta360 app to control your camera remotely.
Sorry, I have another question, sir, how long does the battery last, sir?
Thank you
Thanks for the tips. Is 512 GB the biggest card it can take?
I think 1 TB is the largest one
It can take up to 1TB.
If only video and photo recorded by x3 can be use during editing or is possible to ad photos and video from smartphone for example? Anybody knew what would happened if this sticky Glass cover Will go under water?

Does the book ship to the UK?

Yes, you can order it on Amazon in the UK. Thanks so much for asking.
