Insta360 ONE RS - Watch BEFORE You Buy

The ONE RS is an upgrade to the ONE R and comes with a bunch of new hardware and software features, but is it worth the upgrade from the R, and does this camera live up to the hype?

Chris, do you think this is still a relevant purchase today given the model is no longer produced - but offers both standard cam and 360 cam option. I am looking for both cameras as a DJ. I am either going to go for this or the X4 to film 360 & 180. Keen to hear your thoughts on the best path and best low light option. Great video btw

why do u use the microphone adapter with the dji mic? does the usb c on the dji mic not work plugging into the usb c on the camera?

[tosvus]

I'd like to see a deeper battery platform, and a double-wide screen that plugs into that and sits in the back of the two cubes to get a much bigger screen.

Thanks for this informative review. Great quality video!

Will the next upgraded version be released soon?

Only 30 minutes in 4k30 is absolutely disappointing.The R runs 1:30h in 4k30

I am looking at Insta360 for motorcycle riding. I have a couple of concerns about the ONE RS. You think the screen/display is just too small? You think the weight and size on selfie stick ( on motorcycle ) is too big? Perhaps the X3 would be better.

I can't find the 360 module for separate, is it really sold separate? or if it's not, will be sold separate any time soon?

Do you need an adapter for audio to work? Most audio kits have a USB attachment and curious it will work.

[bluehonour]

Just a correction - this is cold shoe adapter, it does not have contacts

so will the 1 inch 360 module fit into the system like the one supplied with the twin bundle?

[raviuk]

Probably should have mentioned the cost of the lenses. The 360 module is nearly £300 to buy so it’s hardly a sensible upgrade path! I’m sure the 1” sensor module is similarly priced.

This camera stabilization test on bike should be on helmet not on handlebars as this will be in all time shakes
I am looking for video stabilization for car front glass mounted as cup suction .

[pipstar]

What's the over sharpening setting

[chiefkyle]

They sell a One RS with only the 4K module. Would be nice if they sold a One RS with only the 360 module.

on OneR model audio sucks...even with excellent ext. mic Saramonic or Boya...

03:00 bs, people buy new cameras because of the better processing too. Have you heard of computational photography? Digital image stabilization? "Eco friendly" is an expression that shows how little you know about how the world works. Manufacturing, politics, economics. You just watch ads on your TV and Facebook and soak it all in without questioning.
