I’m shooting 360 tours with Z1 and for everything else - OneX2 😎

I’m glad that my Insta360 One R is on your list. I didn’t use it a lot but I found the core gets really hot after shooting for 5 minutes or so regards it’s connected to the 360 or 1” module. Thank you for the video. 😂

What 360 camera would be the best for VFX artists looking to capture HDRIs/environment maps? For an HDRI to produce sharp, accurate shadows in 3D software, the image needs to be bracketed in a way that retains the brightest highlights. This is a challenge when capturing outdoor environments due to the brightness of the sun, because most 360 cameras can't lower their exposure enough to have the sun appear as a small point in the sky (due to shutter speed/aperture limitations).

The Theta Z1 has an exceptionally fast shutter speed (1/25000), but the Insta360 One R is the only 360 camera on the market that supports ND filters (up to 10 stops). Considering that, would the One R be the best choice here? Resolution and overall image quality are less important in this use case.

GoPro MAX doesn't support 360 live streaming, but can live streaming through wifi AP e.g. router. Insta 360 one X2 supports 360 live streaming, but have to use cellphone wifi to connect to the camera WiFi hot-spot and use cellphone celluar network to connect to internet. Both of them are strange design.

The GoPro Max is currently selling on the GoPro site for $399 including a 64GB SD card and one year of GoPro subscription.

I see "444" and "44" EVERYWHERE!

And, I just noticed that your video is 16:44 long. 😄

But the Trisio is not supported by Matterport :( Yes I could upload all later but it’s nice to know on the location if something went wrong with the scan.

Oh it will be a very difficult decision. One X2 vs. a new 2022 GoPro Max 2 - if there is coming one... 🙄

Hey Ben is theta z1 still better for virtual tours. I was going to buy it but saw x now

[trosencrantz]

After having both the X1 and Qoocam 8K, I stepped up to the Z1 and couldn't be happier (well some day… when a new model comes out). I agree with video perspectives with Insta 360's cameras though. For now, having fun with Insta Go 2 for video. Great update Mate!

Theta z1 56gb. Love the integration with google street view video mode.

I use the GoPro Max and do my editing on an iMac with GoPro Player - This camera meets my needs and B&H Photo in the USA is my camera shop. Well done update and thanks from Detroit, Michigan USA 🚂

Your Insta360 prediction was close. The One RS 1-Inch is pretty compelling with it's 1 inch sensor, modularity and X2-like form factor. I have doubts now as to whether a X3 will even be coming.

[JeanLucHouedanou]

You nailed it...
Insta360 just released a new camera.

[SonofaFink]

Thank You For Being So Transparent And Comparing Them All!

[Adrianobolado]

Ben, I have a Mijia Misphere. Do you think the change for Insta 360 One X (or One R) is worth it to shoot Virtual Tours? and to use on vacation as well?

[Team]

I own the QooCam enterprise and love it.

[YangGQ]

Great review. I am on my 2nd Insta360x2. Managed to scratch and drown the first one. Budget price is important.- because action video cameras have a very dangerous and short half life!

[PlanetXtreme]

I just want to say you're an amazing creator with *exceptional* production quality. This is my first video of yours and I am subscribing. You seem to do 360 stuff all the time and I am impressed by your artwork. You have gained a fan 👍

I love my Insta360 One X2!!! HOWEVER....we need a major upgrade for the Insta360 studio including labshot editing (like the app) and we need to be able to edit the stats gps data.
