VIDEO QUALITY
Both cameras were set to the highest resolution and a test shot was taken on a tripod. The Insta360 ONE X2 records the entire environment, but for this comparison only a defined area is selected. This is the big advantage of the GoPro 10 in terms of image quality. While the Insta360 ONE X2 films the entire 360° environment with 5.7K and only a small section is used, the resolution is reduced. The GoPro 10 wins here, although I think the Insta360 ONE X2 also does a good job.

FIELD OF VIEW (FOV)
The GoPro 10 allows the following FOV settings: Narrow, linear and Wide. The Insta360 ONE X2, on the other hand, has a practically unlimited field of view. Because a 360° video is recorded, you can create an ultra-ultra wide-angle Shot. By reframing the 360-video, you can select the field of view yourself in post-production. A lens correction in post-processing is also easy to apply. With the Insta360 ONE X2, you have unlimited possibilities. This flexibility gives you a lot of creative freedom, which the GoPro 10 does not offer.

STABILIZATION
The GoPro Hero 10 uses Hypersmooth in Generation 4. The stabilization results are very good and make a gimbal almost unnecessary. However, the Insta360 ONE X2 can beat this and delivers even smoother recordings. The reason for this is the 360-video technology. Because the entire 360 environment is filmed, no cropping is necessary. So, you get super-smooth videos like on a camera slider. Here the Insta360 ONE X2 exceeds the GoPro 10.

SELFIE SHOTS
Action cameras are often used to film yourself. For this purpose, a selfie stick can be used, on which the action camera is mounted. The Insta360 ONE X2 has a clear advantage here. The so-called invisible selfie stick function removes the selfie stick from the picture. The results is a “clean” video, without a disturbing telescope stick in the picture. It looks like the camera is floating in front of you like a drone. Your viewers will surely be amazed and surprised how this works.

TIMELAPSE
Both cameras offer a timelapse mode. Simply set up the camera and press record. The timelapse videos are then created automatically. With the Insta360 ONE X2, you have the option to create a motion timelapse by reframing the video and adding a movement. The GoPro 10 on the other hand only allows a static timelapse.

MORE
Both cameras have numerous other functions, which I will not go into in detail now. It can be said that both cameras have a very high range of functions. For example, you can create hyperlapses, slowmotion recordings and much more with both cameras. Details can be found on the manufacturer websites.

CREATIVE SCOPE
The creative scope of both cameras is very high, since both cameras are very compact and can easily be placed or mounted anywhere. However, the Insta360 ONE X2 clearly stands out from the GoPro 10. The reason for this is the 360-video technology. A 360 camera allows you a completely new world of creativity. The combination of the flowstate stabilization, the invisible selfie stick and the possibility of reframing make the Insta360 ONE X2 a beast. The opportunities are almost endless!

POST PROCESSING
The biggest advantage of the Insta360 ONE X2 is also its biggest disadvantage. 360-videos need to be reframed to unlock their true potential. That means you have to invest time in post-processing. If you think you're going to get a ready-out-of-the-cam video, you're wrong. Although there are a number of tools such as AI functions in the Insta306 App, you still have to deal with it and invest time.

SUMMARY
All users who are looking for a standard action camera and want to create ready-out-of-the-cam recordings, without investing a lot in post-processing should choose the GoPro Hero 10. Anyone who wants to explore the potential of the 360-video-technology and enjoys experimenting in post-production should choose the Insta360 ONE X2. I myself deal intensively with 360-cameras on my channel and am always excited about the potential of the Insta360 ONE X2.

Both I great cameras. I have the Insta360 and love it’s versatility compared to my DJI Action but…. the audio quality and wind reduction could be much better, it really needs consumer replaceable lenses and it disconnects from the phone app during editing far too many times.
You have to live with the lower resolution because hey, it’s a 360 camera and it gives you shots you couldn’t get with a normal action cam.

8:00 Bummer. I already got mine last year.

BEST. CAMERA. EVER. I was hesitant after the Xiaomi Mi Sphere (Madv 360 on the states now) utterly failed with drifting, and a battery that NEVER LASTED IN THE COLD. Or hot.

Along came the X2 and with a MIND BLOWING -4 TO 104F operating temperature.

I got the full 80 minutes advertised EVERY TIME. On single digit days. ZERO recording failures. And this year, the thing I could NEVER do before...

A BACKUP BATTERY. Yes when my 80 minutes were done...I had 80 more in my pocket!!! And...IT WORKED. I shot at max resolution on a huge SD card that allowed about 4 hours of content so...3.5 batteries worth!

Did I mention this is my favorite camera yet?

[Fishaholicboy]

Great video. I usually use both at the same time for when I’m kayaking. I use the GoPro for the main camera and use the Insta360 for my B-roll as it captures everything like you mentioned. They both have their benefits for sure

[WiljanWiljan]

Very good and I am happy with the Insta 360 camera! However what is still behind is the Insta360 studio software for PC. No options to include stats and gps data, no options to create the labshots in the PC version (like is possible in the app).

I had oneR and it broke down. Insurance company asking me to replace with OneX2. I asked them for OneRS but They ask for extra money. What should I do? I still have 360 lens. Thanks

[rokisstalk]

thank u buddy for this lovely comparison. love from Assam. India ❤️❤️❤️

[andribulan]

can you help me i want to use camera for spearfishing diving activity.. which one do you think is better

[RoyHolder]

Insta360One X2 reframe can be pushed up to 4k with higher bitrate. PS, NEVER rest the 360 camera on it's lens!!!

[flapjackbeans]

I just wish the insta 360 one x 2 would work with the dpi wireless mic or the Instamic pro plus and HOLD the pairings so when turned off you don't have to re pair each time! Gloved hand on motorcycle and the start stop make it useless for Audi speech from rider...

[johnd]

Can you please tell me how you did the shot at 6:33? It looks like a bullet time video, but at the same time it doesn’t. It transitions from one location to another in one rotation. I would be forever grateful if you could explain how you did this, or point me to a video explaining how. I really want to make a video like that of the scene changing around my family throughout the year.

Hi, which model micro sd card is best for insta 360one x2? A1 vsA2; V10 vs V30 vs V90; U1 vs U3 and what model: sandisk vs kingston vs transcend vs samsung and so on…?

[great-stuff-]

Fantastic comparison! Love it and subscribed.

[pinoymedicvlogs]

I've been using my insta360 one x2 and I love it. tips for newbies .. instal a lens guard to you lens. it really helps and buy also lens cap. use type C cable to connect on you phone for editing and post production. connection is better using type C cable.

4:13 - 4:32
I love how that works!
That the selfie-stick is invisible.

[journeyofashik]

To create travel and cinematic videos which one is best

[rriderassam]

Can we edit slow motion video in mobile phone, shooting on one X2?

[kuyajayyoutubechannel]

What brand SD card did u use for this?

[bsperoz]

3:15 And THAT is why I'm keeping the One X2 and NOT swapping to GoPro.

Again.

[sibeiho]

Great job bro. you instantly solved the mystery of which one I should choose. The key is getting one that is suitable to my needs.

[VirtualEngineTW]

Well, if you lost the subject in the frame, the resolution is nothing.
So I'll go for 360 personally.
