Insta360 ONE X2: The future of cameras or just RIDICULOUS fun?

- In this video I take a look at the new Insta360 ONE X2, but also at the whole concept of shooting video this way. The creative possibilities are enormously fun but can they have a practical use other than gimmicks?

Another brilliant review Philip! Of the half a dozen reviews I’ve watched today yours is the first to make me consider buying one. The geese won me over.
Cheers Chris! It is enormous fun and you really don’t have to own a one wheel to use it!
Oh and it definitely works better when you press record! 😩
Oh yeah, we need some 360° Natsuki.
I attached the previous generation Insta360 ONE X to my Go Kart when I did a Mari Kart drive with my daughter and her husband around Shibuya earlier this year. It did a pretty good job.
Trust me Chris, a 360 camera on a stick is too amateur "selfie-stick-ish" for a self respecting content/video producer. You'll get the Kanto punks catcalling you!
Great review though, & yes I still use the last gen model. Philip, what was that catcall at 19:42 ? He wanted to get a selfie with you but what " common ______ man" are you? :D
Your expression of disgust is hilarious!
This earned my sub. I know everything about this camera already, and I was just browsing around to see other creators' perspectives. I got hooked and fell in love with your video style. Well done sir.
Philip is a legend - you're in for a treat! Go back and watch older stuff...its like no one else
About time Nurk! Lol
This is the most aesthetically pleasing (?) review I've seen. You literally made it a vlogging camera.
There should be a film award for Phil here. I don't care what it is. Best innovative artistic director? Something.
Thank you
Most covid spread in one video
@@ButterViZion how exactly? Just curious as to your train of thought here.
Film Laureate.
@@ButterViZion ...and the 'Dumbest Comment on UA-cam Today' award goes to......Nicholas Peters!
Excellent technical explanation embedded in a story perfectly underlined by fascinating music. Compliments!
Best review of the Insta360 one X2! Wasn’t even considering this camera. I’m still not going to buy it... but I just had to watch it for 23 min because of the amazing piece of art! Thanks Philip.
Nice video Philip. You summed it up well at the very end... "I enjoyed myself", which is 100% what it's all about.
Philip: This is a very very very short review.
Also Philip: Posts the longest Insta360 X2 review on the internet.
What a strange comment
We can always rely on Philip to gives a full, accurate and honest review.
We are rather spoilt and action cameras, 360 cameras in particular, have so many hurdles; but the image quality isn't very pleasing. The shots/angles you can get, the useability looks great, but that muddy yet oversharpened image is not.
A 1" sensor version would be nice (with the consequent increase in size), but it would help. Insta360 need to fix their sharpening though, as even their One R 1" suffers.
It is possible to have a 1” version. Look at the Theta V. That’s 1” and not much bigger. Amazing stills but rubbish video sadly.
I have no idea why but that bread plopping in the water at 15:49 was a hilarious
Thank you for the honest review! I appreciate you explaining the sharpening and the noise in low light with this camera, most people do not mention that!
I love my Insta360 One X. It has made capturing my road trips much easier. If there is one complaint I have, it's that the desktop app does not have an 'undo' command. There's been plenty of times when I hit "ctrl+z" expecting something to happen. I hope Insta360 will fix that issue soon!
Agreed. It’s ridiculous not to have undon
If UA-cam allowed to give extra likes for dealing with those tools @ 19:44 , I would.
Yeah. Utter twats
WE NEED THE MANIPULATION VIDEO!! You are AMAZING!
The bait for your next 'fishing' adventure should be the Pro 2 😂 Excellent review all around!
What a thoroughly well-spent 2 hours! Hugely entertaining, creative and informative. And I like the way you pixelated the number plate of your unique, bright yellow, left-hand drive, little Fiat boat, in order to preserve its anonymity @ 04:58 ;)
Moment of silence for the spilt coffee! The funniest moment I've seen in a UA-cam review (sorry) - Always appreciated your videos anyway and this was particularly helpful amongst the 'hype' videos.
Thanks for the brilliant review. I am sold!
P.S.: Please do a separate video on image manipulation. Thanks in advance.🍹🙏
Love your “show and tell” product review videos and your use of music and Foley audio that so much increases the enjoyment of watching your Vids ..
Thanks Mark
I love your sound design
Brilliant, entertaining review and the most informative yet. By all means, a post processing how to video would be very welcomed. Thanks again.
It does look like a lot of fun; perfect for a journey in the little yellow boat! Thanks for the insights into this revamped device and the studio app, it is about time that they updated the computer app; your insights on using this were greatly appreciated, it does look rather simple and effective if being used for social media as HD output.
The Music in the car is so on point Philip, bravo!
Thank you. More info about this cam crammed into this video than all the others combined.
In my opinion, your video is the best review of the insta360. ... great job.
It is great to see this camera reviewed by an actual photographer. I’ve been looking at buying a 360 camera for a while now but I’ve had a number of technical, photographer type questions that I haven’t found answers to until now - thank you. I really hope that they can squeeze in bigger sensors and higher pixel counts in the future. In the meantime, I can’t wait to take one wing suiting/skydiving!
Awesome video! Thanks!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a detailed video on how to edit the photo on studio app
I don't actually have an interest in a 360 camera but sill watched just because of Philip. Great review Mr Bloom
Really enjoyed that, thanks Philip, keen to get one for VR music sessions.
That was really nicely told and shot Philip - also like your little yellow car :-)
Amazing. You just made me want to get one!
Great stuff....as always. And that shot again @7min 23, of the starbucks spill, I hate spilling my starbucks....looks like you was going to take a nice big gulp of it too. (People on the train) - why is that man pointing a stick upwards and carrying a coffee at the same time?? I still occasionally use my Gear 360 (2016) with the insta PC app.....I feel I do need that extra 5.*k resolution, time for an upgrade.
MORE PLEASE!!!!!
Best review on the Insta360 ONE X2 I have ever seen. Thank you so much!
Fantastic! I used to have the One X and now the One R...perfect for this Covid-19 times! Fantastic angles without any assistance. I can't wait to try the new Shot Lab templates such as Shadow Clone, Flip my day and a dash of Flash Dash! Crazy fun...! but this video essay/review is a masterpiece. It's not about the 4k or 8k quality (which this camera doesn't do at all) but about how the message and an almost 1080p video (after reframing the 360 video) can really gives us a fresh perspective about daily life. The one R is in my backpack all the time! My videos will never be as great as some but they capture unique moments in my life and those around me. I may get a One X3 when things are improved a bit but shooting 360 and reframing the video AFTER shooting is the real deal. Thanks for the video Mr Bloom. Cheers from Toronto. PS you do need a onewheel! Can't wait to see you riding one! LOL- your car is classic!
PS 2- I only use the Insta 360 app my iphone 11pro max and it works great. My shots are under 2 minutes long max. Would using the desktop GREATLY improved my reframed footage? thanks
Thank you. Would rather have a scooter!
Thanks Erick. The mobile app is prob enough for you. I love the hard cuts, the curves and the ability to go extreme on tiny planets and tunnels!
@@philipbloom great news! I hope that the world heals soon! I will stay with my One R for now! I will wait for the One X3 with higher resolution! Thanks for the video. I attended one of your workshops here in Toronto and it was inspiring! Thanks for sharing! and yes...a yellow scooter would be great...I would get one...as long as it has a cup holder! LOL!
Being able to reframe the shot after capture - this is the way it will go. Just amazing stuff.
very very funny .......grat sir...
A great little video. One of those rare kit reviews that's very enjoyable to watch regardless of whether one is interested in the bit of kit or not. Frankly, the tech' involved in the Insta360 pickles my mind, I feel like my old, dear, late Granny when she first saw colour TV...
Awesome! Not going to work for Aurora but perhaps daylight BTS. 😂
I have been looking to buy a 360 camera. Looking at your video helped me a lot in making my decision. I absolutely admire your work, I love the harmony of sound and video of your work. Very well done sir.
Another cool review. Thanks! I'm looking at 360 cameras as a variation for filming walking videos and your reviews are proving very helpful. Thanks again!
Good choice of music with your car shots.
Thank you for this. This really helps me in deciding to purchase this camera
The X2 is looking awesome! Very fun and great for vloging as well!
Caveats there. Watch the video to see
Sensational review as always, thank you very much. May I ask what gear you used for the external audio recording and what's the workflow you use for syncing in post? External audio sounds great while the native sound of the X2 is horrid (..much worse than the OneX actually). Stay safe Philip😻
Exactly the question I was going to ask. The audio does sound great and for educational video style vlogs the effort in post would be well worth the time and effort.
Great editing, music, presentation and an interesting story. (As always). Cheers!
Finally..
I've been looking and trying to find anything that mentions what the exported video resolution is.
I'm glad you're not stuck to 1080p when using the computer software when exporting.
I could not find any other reviews that talked about this.
Cheers
Beautiful little barchetta!
Hi. Thanks for sharing your review, I throughly enjoyed it. I don’t have a 360 camera and was considering getting one for recording shots on our travels when the “Action” is all round eg harbour walk in Sydney. You’ve certainly given me food for thought before I grovel to the “Boss”. I’ve subscribed and look forward to seeing more. Take care and catch you later. Peter
We so enjoy your highly entertaining and creative work!
Agree 100% about the sharpening. I've mentioned it a few times and I360 seem receptive to the idea of reducing or giving the option of eliminating it. It would be sooooooo much better.
Fantastic video as always and excellent review, Philip. I would really appreciate a separate video showing how you edit the footage in the mobile app and Insta360 studio.
7:25. oopsie daisy!! love the reactions by the couple.
It’s a classic moment that i keep putting in my 360 reviews :)
my god man this is fantastic!! really dig this video.....
I've got the One X and it has been a great piece of kit. By adapting a boom pole I have managed to achieve fairly high angle shots in areas where it has not been possible to launch a drone.
This looks like a good camera to get if you want to set a time lapse camera up in the middle of a room when you want to film something happening in different parts of the room without having to resetup for each shot.
Mr Bloom best regards from Hong Kong this video was a lot of fun and it got rain, British atmisphere, fun cabriolet chase the rain, ducks, swans and young thugs in dark alleys, that was a nice entertaining review it was fun to watch I got my insta X , the only thing I think is interesting is the waterproof and lense guard thing, keep it coming and keep it safe Mr Bloom, your videos are always interesting to watch 🙏🙏🙏😇
Great stuff. Would always like to know more about your editing process and ideas. Thanks
Whoa! that Tunnel vision shot @16:05 is Amazing super cool.
This is one of the best reviews for this camera that I’ve seen. It’s a great camera for what it’s good at, but I like how you highlighted its shortcomings.
I was interested in using this as a sort of bicycle “dashcam” but the short battery life, massive data storage needed for long-form video, and poor low light clarify is a bit of a deal-breaker for me.
I love the 360 cam. I made a motovlog with it and was so impressed of the outcome.
Just be ready to have a 700GB swap file to stitch together in a pc for a 20mins 360 raw file
i definitly love your style of editing
I love this video, THANK YOU!!!
Please don’t tell me I wasted ..uhh someone else’s money. Thank god for Philip Bloom. Now I don’t have to explain myself to the powers that be. 👍😊
Great review, great editing, great sound, great insights. Just...great work!
You're a great story teller. Not much going on but cant stop watching 😜
@philipbloom you're an amazing talented creator, always love your reviews, and yes please if you can do a now detailed video on the editing techniques would be great
SUCH a fantastic review. Great points and examples. Thank you!
7:23 Damn Philip. We've all been there man, cheers for taking it in stride . Great video!
Bravo and very fair review. Loved the inverted bird shot.
What a fun review this was - so creative!
I hate the bad quality on my DJI action cam and also my GoPro 7. But the again im using the GH5.. Lovely video my friend🥰
After watching lot of reviews last two months about this camera finally the best opinion about it.They have a lot of to do to improve image quality.It is noisy in low light situation.Hope they can get close to GoPro or DJI quality but thumb up for great quality of post processing app.Plenty room for improvements.Maybe GoPro or DJI would show up with new 360 modul for Action 2 soon.Well done job! ✅📸
9:10 Wut the? it looks like an Imperial Probe Droid.
Yes, please make a guide for the use of the Studio software for the Insta360 cameras. Very good review as always.
+1 to having another video for the mobile app
Brilliant work Philip 🤩👍.
Hey Philip, I watched this review when it came out, thinking that 360 wasn't practical or useful to me at all (even as someone who spends much of their time playing VR games) and now I just got my hands on my own one of these, I'm strongly considering making a narrative short with just one of these via over capture like you used here instead of using my ZCam E2. Thanks so much for this film!
In front of a mirror the camera turns into a reverse vampire.
It's really fun video I think 😂😂😂
Superb editing! Like watching a real life Chuck Jones cartoon! Please do a video on editing the footage.
Thanks :)
Excellent job! Love it and subscribed.
Just wanted to say I am looking forward to watching your review of the X3, which presumably has been shot, when it comes out of its embargo in about a weeks time
I guess I'm hoping the X3 will be using 2× 1" Sensors
But whatever happens I hope your loving it as much as you did the insta360 1" package
Thanks for the awesome cat shots
Best wishes
I’m sold even with the limitations, it just looks fun. By the way I just noticed you look like Gary Numan haha. That’s a compliment, he’s my fave artist. Cheers.
Mist the Len's protector with black Matt spay paint to soften picture
this is the most interesting video ever
Good review. I have the original One X and agree with Brandon Li that upgrading to this one isn't really value for money. If the resolution had been improved I might have considered it.
Didn’t I say that at the end?
Well done Phillip. I was interested in seeing the 1X2 in comparison to the 1X.
Yeah the image is near identical sadly
Maybe a light stand could double as a good selfie stick, and you could safely set it on its legs when you want.
Way too thick am afraid.
Looks good to me! Not processed log like setting yes!
great video you won a subscriber.
Philip is like the Attenborough of camera reviews!
While I despise the tiny planet and other gimmicks of 360 videography, I somehow love this video 😊🖤
This review on its own is a work of art. And damn that car is sexy...
Thank you. I love my little car. She needs some TLC though
@@philipbloom definitely temp me a lot to get this camera for myself for this upcoming Christmas 😁 Also, bet she must have received plenty having survived for 23 years 😅.
@@quangha1095 yeah spent way more than she’s worth to keep her going. A new top is needed. Not that wast to get
I love that PB is making more YT vids
Team PB
Brilliant video. Well done.
Which external microphone would you recommend for the Insta360 One X2?
This video was FANTASTIC!!! Looking forward to putting this in my bag as my first 360. I was hoping that you were going to get a split shot above/below the water line when you were feeding the geese, but perhaps I will try that shot when mine arrives! Cheers and thank you for the walkthrough! Subscribing. 🙏😃
Thank you! Yeah my usb C door had come off so I couldn’t put it in the water.
@@philipbloom that’s a bummer, but at least you found the charger/extra battery that slipped out of your bag! So, being that the usb c door is so easy to remove, is there any concern for future water tightness or lack there of??
Please compare this to the Ricoh Theta z1 Philip. Im leaning to the z1 due to the 1 inch sensors.
there's no point. The z1 is only good for proper 360 photos. The video isn't good and it doesn't have any software like this.
