I dig the modular nature of it, especially the battery on the bottom. I can see myself taking all the lens and adapters on a trip and deciding on the spot what to do.

[adimology]

given 4K module sensor size (1/2.3"), if you calculate its sensor equivalent to the 1" sensor, you should get f/5.8.
The 1" sensor has an aperture of f3.2 so it's gather almost 2 stops of light compare to 1/2.3" with f2.8 aperture.
it's a massive difference.

Insta360 One R is probably the best camera equipment I bought this year.
Can't wait too see what other modules they will add in the future.

Great update and information on Insta360. Your comment on external mic adapter is SO true for all vendors. I know it takes up space however, there are two solutions.
1. Microphone manufactures create a USB "c" connection - fits a ton of new systems, no adaptor, allow a pass through for charging. (wow no possibly a powered mic!)
2. Action Camera add (thought it takes up valuable space) the port for external mic (least favorite option).

Just got mine last week moving it. This is my DJI Mini are fun

[kw.g]

I would rather the twin package comes with 1inch lens + 360 lens

[nakosikasukasena]

All problems with camera after 3 weeks usage:
1. Fog up the lens of the camera module 360. Although the 360 module itself has never been in the water.
2. The Camera freezes very often (does not respond to anything) and you can only fix it by removing the battery, but sometimes it does not work even after that. Sometimes the camera reports that the module is not connected, although it is still in place but is not detected by the camera. when you rearrange the modules, nothing changes.
3. over time, the mounting screws for the module connectors are loosened.
4. Leaking (not sealed) the cover of the card slot.
5. Very small screen, this causes the following problem.
6. Tiny controls (icons) of the camera menu, it is difficult to hit them with a man's finger, you often make mistakes. Some menu items can't be accessed at all (frame rate selection), so you always get to the Indoor Low-Light Stability item.
7. Confusing menu.
8. Some warnings (for example Basic stabilization) cannot be read (not scroll down), for example, when switching to mp4 file saving mode.
9. If you are somewhere in the menu, it is not possible to start recording or exit the menu with the record button. You have to spend time to navigate back through all these items, to start shooting, you need to exit the menu item. Very long exit from the menu where there are many tabs, for example in the settings item.
10. the Menu slows down when scrolling.
11. Microphone is worse after being submerged in water.
12. It is not possible to trust the indication of the battery charge level. The camera may turn off even though the battery charge showed 30%.

The modular system is a smart concept in terms of their marketing team. As of this post, the basic One R 4k is only $250. That's practically half the price of the current GoPro 10 and it doesn't sacrifice that much in terms of quality either. Then after someone buys this, maybe a year later, they'll just think "oh, I'll just spend $150 more to get the 360 degree module". Then eventually the 1 inch, and then oh my just $50 more for the higher capacity battery pack.

[ArminHirmer]

nice idea, have the twin edition, worked well until.... I went into water. 1 m deep and it died on me after 3 sent back and hope to get it fixed

[ChrisParayno]

Agreed, not having a 3.5mm jack plane Jane is super annoying. One more thing to break and lose.

[Taosug_Makkah]

love it. .. how i wish i can buy this gadgets

[DroningaboutIreland]

Great vid Aldryn, my OneR Twin Edition arrived on Thursday I haven't had much time to use it but it seems a fantastic camera I also got the Ulanzi MT-11 flexible tripod for £17 which was a bargain it's pretty rugged and super flexible, keep up the great work 📸

Cool shot @5:20 the selfie stick is invisible but the shadow is still there. lol It's magic.

Hi, great stuff! I’m not sure if you can help me.

3 questions on things I’ve read on Insta360 1 inch:

1) max record time of 28-29mins. Does that improve if using an external battery pack?

2) When using external battery packs, you need to press the ON/OFF every 10mins? Means, I can’t leave it alone to record a 2 hr footage?

3) Are there any recording gaps when shooting longer videos? I.e. the cam saves the video into smaller blocks of 30mins and are there any gaps between those files?

Usage will mainly for my drumming footage for concerts.

Considering this Vs GoPro 9

[brianq]

The bigger battery negates the need for the cage to use with accessories, which would work easier with the 1 inch sensor. I agree that the whole mic adapter thing is a pain! Did you try the Osmo Cynova one in this and vice versa? The Osmo one seems pretty stable to me compared to this one sticking out like that. Plus, you get the ability of constant power through the Cynova one.

Thank you very much for this review Aldryn! It's sad that Insta360 didn't manage to fix the Red Spot Of Death yet in their 360 lenses kit. It was there in their previous models as well... Seems they didn't learn from their mistakes :S

[marcorecinos]

You mention the mic. What I dont loke about this adapters is the the camera is not longer whaterproof. They should create a way to comunicate a least with the rode wireless go that will be a great idea

[TimeFLYAlDiaz]

Is there a small case for it, or one you can recommend? Thx

[jarredmederos]

Great video I am on the fence in regards to buying it because I wanted to know for a 360 camera is the video quality straight out of it really good or it’s something that needs to be color corrected a lot in post? Because I have Final Cut Pro and I heard it was not able to be used there?

[johnta]

nice review. Have you considered getting a balance bike for your kid? The whole idea behind learning how to ride a bike is learning balance and no one will ever learn balance on a bike with training wheels. My son learned balance on his balance bike within 4 days. It happens fast.
