Small lens cloth, then the silicone cover over that. You still get the protection of the cover but won't have anything sliding over the lens. You also have your cloth ready for a quick clean as soon as you remove the cover. Just give the cloth a really good shake before it goes near the lenses.
Great idea!
I've been doing that since if you don't put the cloth, any micro dust will scratch the protective lense or the lense if you don't have any protection.
What if i just use the invisible diving case? It will protect the lenses too right? Hehe
@@HelloThere-lo3qi Good luck trying to find it.
@@stonkr they do have one no?
Very helpful: not spinning the camera, being aware of light source/stitch line and in app color adjusting are my top tips. I am already cleaning lenses :). Thank you!
Brilliant info, straight to the point in a clear precise professional manner.
You cut the crap, which is a much refreshing change on UA-cam.
Well done, keep up the good work.
Great tips! Thank you.
I'm gonna follow you because you've opened up my eyes to EVEN MORE possibilities with this amazing device!
Loved your content man !!
Great video! Simple, but very useful tips.
Thanks. Would be nice to have a video explaining good export settings for e.g Instagram, which will compress large files coming from high bitrate etc. Perhaps a video covering what bitrate is and when to select a lower bitrate won't noticeably sacrifice quality (eg. slow videos), what length to keep them to etc.
Awesome, and straight to the point. Thanks for the tips! I'm just getting started with my Insta360 X3, and I have that rubber cap for my camera. Will certainly have to be careful with dirt, sand, and even water. Just subscribed.
Fantastic video! I'm an instant subscriber!
Thanks man, great tips!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Excellent video as always! Thanks (from Brazil)!
Thanks Daniel, the obvious made easy and understandable.
Nice video. Very useful
Great video, as usual. Beautiful Barcelona, Parque Güell and la Sagrada Familia. 👍
Nice video dude. Not using those silicone lens covers is definitely a good tip. I hate those things.
Good stuff!
Finally someone is talking about this.
Thanks for sharing
Great tips. I primarily use my Theta X for virtual tour photography, but your tip for aligning the camera to have both lenses hit sunlight makes complete sense and is a great point.
One note, MOV is a container and not a codec. You can use one of many different codecs within a .MOV file. But your points about cranking up the bit rate if you want to continue editing later is key. Garbage in, garbage out, so start at high quality.
Hello and what do you think about the cover for the lens? the original that 360 have!
Brilliant tutorial mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi can you recommend a player that is either HLS or DASH capable? Ideally that supports desktop and headset playback
I hope you had fun in Barcelona, I love that place!
Thank you!
Zooming out is another huge quality reason!
Watching a 360 video in VLC player (from the hard drive) allows you to zoom out much more compared to watching the same video on youtube.
UA-cam zooms in the image a lot, thus the viewer is much closer to the blocky imperfections of low bitrate video compression.
Thoughts on the adhesive clear lens guards?
Thanks!
OK, I get it, but.................I have the Insta 360 ONE RS. I get a final video quality that's not bad, but my final use is to view in VR. When I go to view it in VR, it's totally wasted. Fuzzy at best, so what am I doing wrong? Do I have the wrong camera? The only purpose I want is to view in VR and treat my footage like any other VR video. Thanks.
It's amazing that they don't make a cover that folds over as opposed to slide over, and has a simple lock mechanism. I'm sure it would be a good selling extra.
A friend of mine is a very clever Semestres
and I'm so gonna pretty-please her to make me mid-session bag 😄
P.S.: #PayYourArtstists 😉
I have such clipper lens it's available check it out it cost thrice the price of the glued lens protector though.
Is it better to get a 360 camera composed of more than 2 cameras? Less lens distortion? Potential for higher resolution overall?
Can you advise on how to shoot for full 360 video? Im not really interested in reframing, i want the output to be full 360. the 360 video I have now has poor quality with the X3.
Thx Dude
X3 (Single Lens / 360) vs One RS (4k Boost Lens / 360) ---AND--- X3 vs DJI A3 sometime soon please 🙏🙏🙏
Just to make sure I am not missing something,....you edit the 360 video in the studio and export all the clips and then add them together in a seperate app to create a longer video? You can't do that in the studio?
how do u get a lenz fixed. my x2 is chiped on 1 side
I really wanted to buy this camera for mountain hiking but seeing how vulnerable the lens are makes me really worried
I got a sticky lens guard to protect it from scratches, so good to go in any condition
I’ve noticed there is some jitter on mine , like there is no stabilization you can notice the lights jitter specially in the darker setting
is worth render to 4k 25fps? or 1080p is enough and max quality? I have 1" 360 and video footage is poor:( only 25fps, not smooth
So if i use microfiber cloth on my iphone x will i get 8k resolution
While watching the video on mobile, can we rotate the Mobile to watch the entire 360°view or will it be flat fixed video?
Does the video image quality depend on the camera angles? e.g., using selfie stick with lenses pointing up/down (90 degs) vs camera one lens toward the subject (0 degs) vs in between (45 degs)?
Well done
If i edit videos using my phone will consume internet data? or the transfer between camera and phone will use the wifi connection between them provided by insta360?
Help please..! I just bought my first insta360 1-inch RS and I’m really disappointed because the front camera isn’t mirrored (reversed and not showing the actual directions!!) are there isn’t options or settings that I can do in order to fix this problem?!
Thanks in advance!
I want to start recording my MTB riding and was thinking about buying this camera but more and more I watched I think I'll get DJI action 3 or 4
in all honesty (it makes it very hard to see the changes due to youtube compression) - is insta360 1 inch sensor noticably better than x3 when coming into linear mode? a lot of the compressed videos looks like a hot pixel mess on youtube
Dirty lenses were my biggest issue! Like clean it before every shot lol
This is a great reason to go buy a bottle of crown royal 😅. Gotta reuse the soft bag and save the environment 😊
8:45 in App , actually the best resolution is 1440p ,which requires going to edit in stories.
Is it possible or advisable to do upscale the footage in an Ai Video upscale programs once you’ve reframed the footage?
Yeah if you have access to those it's usually worth it
I use a tuned proteus profile in topaz video ai to upscale my 360 footage.
It's a night and day difference upscaling reframed content
Which 360 camera is good for motorbike ?
I am exporting reframed video in the highest possible resolution, bit rate, and fps but the output quality is just like 360p. What am I missing?
@5:57 aaah! hahaha
Thanks you bro . All videos perfect. I have insta360r . Insta 360 1 inch and insta360r compare. Can you it
One inch better in the evenings, indoors
@@truthseeker6804thanks maybe there are diffarance a little. I want see diffarance
Hi 360 guy... I have questions...I downloaded an example of 360 video from youtube. It has a split screen one video on top of the other. The top was horizontal front 360 view, the bottom video a rear vertical. My questions are...
I downloaded another 360 video and this had adaptive bitrates (multi resolution) and was a single camera lense with a spherical ??? view of the world.
I was not expecting multiple file formats on a single platform (youtube)
Q. Do ALL 360 video's have the exact same video format when created?
Q. Once uploaded to UA-cam are the video's reformatted to suit the client and playback?
You might be wondering why I am asking... I was kind of interested in exactly how these 360 videos are streamed to clients and how someone can watch these videos either in a traditional screen / browser & also a headset....
I realise this a big question and I have not yet bought either a camera or headset.... but im going to :)
Sorry in advance, because I think my question have no relation with this video but, how can I connect with X3 and have internet to search (and do) for some stuff on the app at the same time? Just saw bunch of ppl talking bout the 360app "templates"/"examples" but I can't get into it without a internet connection, so should I search for them before I connect with X3? Or during? What you guys normally do (and how)? Thanks for any help in advance 🙏🏻
disconnect from X3. Then go to the app and click on the effects you want to use. This will download them and then you'll be ready to go
@@The360Guy ty 🙏🏻
For me there is no point in colour correcting in the insta360 app.
The colours come out completely different, and way worse, when the clip is exported.
Suggestions?
Using the One R 1" 360 camera I have found that sharing each lens equally with the sun (or bright light source) results in a rainbow effect in the stitch line. Found it much better to point one lens at the sun rather than both.
no, its not true
Just received mine brand new opened box diligently followed the start up procedure worked for 5 mins then it had a funny turn suddenly stopped recognising sd card.
Tried everything to no avail so I got an expensive piece of crap thats going back
Unfortunately the people are right, the insta360 cameras are no where near the clarity if a normal action cam, especially when recording at speed and most defintely when zooming in in any slight way, you're gaining two 180 stitched videos in exchange for razor sharpness.. they still have a long way to go to look good
You are right. It does not give the sharpness of the gopro. I have one x3 too and it's not clear at all. I shoot videos in 4k but it looks like 720p.
The major problem I’m facing is that there’s a spotted area of haze/moisture appears inside of the insta360 official lens guard of my X3 every time when I’m using it which I was unable to wipe it off, and it appears only when the X3 is on, it’ll slowly went off after turning off the X3…I’m a newbie in video field especially in 360 videography, hence was scared of scratching the X3 lenses without any extra protection. The moisture spot is quite a big area, almost 1/8 of the total lens area and at the centre of the lens, it’s affecting the video quality so much. Very disappointed with the original lens guards. 😢
i took off my lens guard just one day after using it. what a waste
I also removed mine after the 1st day. Good idea to have that protection but not good if the screen is foggy!
Don't use that cheap plastic sticky lens guard. Try the extreme lens guard. It is removable and the lenses are made of glass. it's much better than the Plastic one. Of course, it is not perfect but it's way much better video quality and at the same time the lenses are protected.
I'm using it.
There is a clipper lens guard check it out it's anti fog. You can clean anytime unlike the glued version.
@@tozoluruo Can you share the link or the model at least? There are some 3rd party guards, but cannot be sure about their quality.
Well dang. Was about to buy the 360 x3 . But I didn’t know that the 5.7 k meant only 1080P in the 360 mode… 😞 ohh well. I like my UA-cam videos to be top quality. I cannot stand watching a blurred vision UA-cam video.
Best tips. Wait 20 years when its good enough...
Woof. Does the bit-rate for exporting have to be at least double of the bit-rate when recording? To meet the Nyquist limit. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
@5:56 aaah XD
4:58 you state that manually settings are better, but the auto settings footage looks far better.
Same bloodline as John Lydon? Anyway, nice videos, ta!
i don't have the "adjust" tab on my app. I use my S22 Ultra
What gives the best quality video between 264 and 265?
Both are codecs to compress the video stream, so not really a quality comparison, more a file size comparison. H265 is newer & will give a smaller file size whereas H264 will be larger but will have more compatability with players. Whatever you use to view the footage needs to use either codec to process the file for you to view it. Hope that makes sense.
Sharpness low? I don't understand
360 consumer cameras have been stuck at 5.7 for over 3 years. Is there a technical reason for this stall?
maybe because of high processing power needed. 2x resolution imply 4x amount of pixels, so are needed bigger and faster memories, a much faster cpu and much energy\power and heat. Resulting probably in a bigger device and much higher costs.
@@Amil_Developer and will prevent us being able to edit on our phones. So many people keep saying "we want 8k!" But that will mean our phones won't be able to edit the footage
@@Sparky_D any modern flagship phone would be able to edit 8k.
The x3 can do 8k timelapse so it has potential of 8k but they limit it for future product
I won't buy one because I have no idea if the editing / post processing software will run under Windows 7. I certainly don't want to do it on an Android phone, and even if I had to, I doubt it would on my old version (5?) of Android. Maybe if you could esstablish some minimum system requirements itwould help people decide, because I'm perfectly fine with 1080p footage, in fact, I prefer it.
On Android phone it requires chipset not less than Snapdragon 695 or higher. Lower than that, the app won't run or it will just crash in the middle of post production. You must have a chip set Snapdragon 695 or higher.
Hey Sherminator😂
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I'm using the sticky lens guard and sometimes the stitch line is very visible when it's sunny. But I'm afraid to scratch my lens too. I don't know what to do 😞
There‘s an extra setting to compensate for the lens guards both in the app and the software. That should fix it.
Photos surely sucks on my X3! Its like photos from a 5 megapix era camera👎

You look like sherminator from movie American pie😂😂
Heres what you should do, buy a decent phone or buy a good camcorder. Insta360's a glitchy nightmare
What is with the frame rate when editing in Insta studio...30 frames... I live in PAL country?
Most people watch videos nowadays anyway on their tiny phone screen. So, the "limited" resolution of the X3 is more than enough for the most common joes. 👍😅
Still over 45% are watching it on tv with a rising trend
1st of all they are just cameras sport cameras action cameras .This is something what i want to put on front glass and have decent quality and sharoness with image stabikization .We cant demand more .If some1 dont like quality so move then to DLSR with gimbal.
That 360 isn't a sport or action cam at all 😑...besides those distorted images which doesn't give the viewer an impression of the reality, hanging in a wall, scrambling over a narrow ridge or negotiating a glacier, I simply don't have the desire to fiddle around with a microfiber cloth etc...not even mentioning unavoidable bumps against rocks etc...those insta cams are just lifestyle cams imho
@@jenshoefer7944 there is insta 4k boost cameras which is similar to gopro
Nope still bad, no matter how much you polish a poo, at the end of the day it is still a poo, if Insta didn't sponsor so many people, not sure if we'd be even talking about it. But thank you for the tips, appreciate it!
