I love the fact that you’re not hyping things; rather unlike other reviewers you actually try to help the viewer make an informed decision. Thank you so very much for that.

[KayakDIY]

Really hope they fix the motion blur issue. However, think I’m still going to get the X3. I like the 1inch, but I like the usability and user interface of X3. I think the ease of use and sleek menu will allow me to be more creative.

[skorskisebastian]

I was not disappointed as always. Your 360 camera reviews are the best on the web. Thank you for wanting to show people the possibilities and differences and not push manufacturer marketing only for money.

The larger display was the decisive argument for me to switch from the X2 to the X3. I do not expect a very big increase in quality. It will probably come down to the fact that the 1 inch will also have to be purchased if I want to deliver quality. For small video tours or for vacation, the X3 is good enough in my opinion and has the huge advantage that it is waterproof.

Thanks for the review, Ben! I recently bought the One RS 4k edition with a plan of buying the 1-inch 360 mode later. I hope you will have a comparison video between the X3 and the RS 1-inch 360.

Thanks for the honest review. It’s gonna be really hard for a 1/2” sensor to compete with a 1” sensor. No amount of digital magic will outshine a quality lens and a larger sensor. So if picture quality is critical, get the bigger sensor.

Ben, I've seen many X3-reviews in the last hours. Your's is one of the best because it is so honest with all the pros and cons. I keep my X2...

2 weeks ago, after a long time thinking about which is the best camera for me, I bought the Insta360 one X2. I didn't like some things like sound and the display. I'm all the more upset that there's a new one on the market now and nobody knew about it.
I will exchange it for the Insta360 X3, there is also loop recording and dashcam mode, which was very important to me and the Insta360 one X2 does not have that. It's also probably better for virtual tours, I'm not doing that yet, but I plan to. So I hope the new one coming soon and I get the x2 refunded.

Great overview! The large screen, over everything else, is a game changer when comparing to the ONErs model. I wondered if it can take on the Theta-X for image quality. One feature I wish they would add is the 360 image using two single-sided shots — so the photographer doesn't have to hide or leave the room. Theta-Z1 has this feature — best feature for shooting in large open spaces.

This video is spot on. I just got the One RS a couple of weeks ago (ok I can't complain, it was a replacement I bought with a refund after my One R broke down within warranty) but would probably have gotten this one if I knew it was coming. It is no surprise that this is still 5.7K. First of all it would be better than the One inch that is much more expensive and just release. Secondly they have no competion that gets close, so why would they? Last but not least, I think the processor is the bottleneck. Better performance with lower heat production requires less nanometers for the transistors, which requires time.

[sergnio]

No questions, just thankful for your videos, especially how honest they are! I like watching others' reviews on the X3 but they all talk about the pros and nothing about the cons. Seems slightly disingenuous.

[Ellexis]

I think we are spoiled. I remember the days when all I had was a Polaroid and a Kodak 110 camera and had to take the film to the store to have it developed. I'm definitely loving the Insta360 X3 and it's replacing my FLY360 camera for my flying videos in my Beechcraft Bonanza.

[RonaldBrown]

I love that large screen on the X3. The small screens on the Insta360 cameras have always been a bit of a con, so this is a nice upgrade. Great overview Ben. And while this looks great, I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading over the X2. Thanks for sharing Ben.

[AANasseh]

Please review against the 1-inch edition. Is it better, worse, or the same overall?

[thetapeworm]

I ignored all the other "hype" videos and waited for this one, as always I'm glad I did. I'm a bit out of the loop with cameras these days as I jumped from MiSphere to a DSLR some time ago but keep thinking about a new "all in one" like this - my question (to Ben or anyone reading this) is, with so much focus on featuring the user in some of the modes have we got to a point where the opposite is easier and you can film while removing, or at least hiding, the person holding the camera without having to do it in post?

[The_Daliban]

Thanks for mentioning the problem with social media marketing.
I saw footage of the x3 and thought. That looks like my on rs and i‘m not gonna buy a new 360 camera for a bigger screen.
It is so confusing and misleading.
I really appreciate a balanced review.
Thank you🙏🏻

[EricWongs]

yeah totally agree on the weird release strategy. i bought the 1inch and now there's the X3, considerable difference in the usability & form factor. all in all im still excited to see the X3 and how they really focus on the usability and similarity to how you might navigate a phone. i still wish they had an integrated selfie stick like the mi sphere -- without a wire dangling out on the side.

[nickelsLL]

The release strategy comment is 100% correct. And what I’m annoyed about them just dropping stuff so often so suddenly

[andrewclarkeinfo]

Would love to see a review of the 4k forward facing single lens on the x3 vs the 4k boost mod on the one rs. Would be great to help me decide between the two.

[emozionivirtuali]

Thanks for your clear and honest description, I will wait the video with the full comparison I am very curious to see the real final result. I think that the best one at the moment is the 1 inch
