Correction: even in 96mp interval photo mode, qoocam 3 ultra has GPS metadata.

5:36 no any bitrate settings on camera or when you rendering it the Insta360 app? Looks not cool

[ryanlane]

Thanks for this. You helped me make up my mind. Surprised more people aren't talking about the Qoocam. Not as agressive marketing maybe?

[worldaviationk]

*Does the 100fps, instantly put it into slow motion or can it be normal speed at this rate?*

[BurkoDnipro]

5:51 are you sure, that Insta360 doest have any flat\log color profile?

[TheGadgetGuru]

Thanks Mic. Simply question. My workflow on the X4 is to reframe in the Insta360 Desktop Studio App for Mac and then export the footage for post production in FCPX. I'm not finding a QooCam Desktop App for Mac. So, how do I reframe these videos for post in FCPX?

[VirtualTourPhotographer]

Did you answer if the Ultra has continuous video recording or does it break video files down into the old 29:59 length?

[choppergirl]

Nobody is showing the Qoocam framing software in use... which would be my biggest reservation about buying it.
I know the Insta360 software is probably pretty robust by now... but I haven't heard of Qoocam until yesterday.

do you have a download link where we can download two 8k test stitched video you shot in real world conditions, one from qoocam3 ultra and the second from insta360 x4 so we can put them in a quest 2 to check image quality ? do you have a free video playback app for quest 2 to recommend that can replay in 8K vr 360 ( the youtube app is limited to 4k playback on quest2) ?

I was lucky. Just bought a new regular qoocam 3 for 200 euros from amazon. Planning to use it or vacation and nature walks. The quality is good enough and in the future if necessary I can use AI upscaling in it, but it seems to work just fine. Only problem with it is the stitching is not the best but I can live with it.

[dalandan]

thank you for being the first to do the comparison.

Looked on their website, couldn't find the camera weight. How heavy is it? Looks way heavier than x4, which would be problematic in some instances.

[GareyCooperdude]

Can you use Final Cut Pro with this camera?

[THEDJM_]

Log footage??
How about connecting mic to it??

[domonicwhite]

In the video quality section you mention the x4 generally being worse due to the levels of compression and associated artefacts, but I think you also say you’ve seen it actually be better on the x4 in some scenarios too. This is something someone made a comment about on Hugh’s comparison video too. Do you have any insights into when the X4 up’s it’s game (or vice versa)? and/or what this happens?

[captteemo]

Since it just has that soft bag without lense caps: How do you avoid damaginh the lens when laying it on a desk or so? And do you have any scratches on it so far?

[edrakel]

Hello, what is the workflow to transfer the internal files from the Ultra3 to your computer using the usb c cable? thanks

[TartaGeule]

Hello, question please.
Does qoocam 3 ultra give access to the two circular raw photos before assembly ?

[lolo_gogo]

hello, I just bought x4 recently, do you know if any different in the 360 recording when thermo grip cover is attached / not? as I can see on the x4 setting if thermo is attached or not, I'm wondering if any different like the stiching bit worse when it is attached due less point of view (blocked a bit by thermo cover), etc? I never see the comparison on any youtube channel. thanks

[PPD]

Thanks Mike for this comparison.
Finally, the X4 is not completely dethroned. It is certain, the Ultra has advantages but I think I will wait for the release of the Max 2 before making a decision. 👍
