Insta360 X3: Is this the Best Action Camera for Fishing? Unboxing and test footage

My beautiful wife bought me the Insta360 X3 for Christmas. Yes - she's amazing in how much she supports my fishing and my video gear. I thought it would be a nice addition to my video creation arsenal. But after using it a bit, I can see this becoming a key part of capturing my fishing adventures. It might be the Best Action Cam for fisherman!

I've taken a few trips with it so far and done a few other testing sessions, and I can say I am impressed. And if it manages to not be as glitchy as the GoPro can be - if you've used one for a while, you know what I'm talking about - I might get another one of these and make it my primary platform for creating YouTube videos instead of just the "extra flavor" of the video.

I think this would be a great addition to any fishing youtuber. So much happens when you least expect it and this will certainly help capture those moments.

This was a neat unboxing Aaron. I’m excited to see you put this to work so we can see all the neat features you’re able to draw out of it.

I really enjoy your editing style from the camera roll when talking about stabilization to cutting to B roll when talking about not using much B roll.

Glad I found this channel. It’s very encouraging to a newb like me. Keep it up bud! -Marc

Great video and just subbed! I just bought an Insta360 after fighting with my GoPros like every time I go out! Thanks for the info and looking forward to more videos!

Was just looking at these recently I was thinking of getting one to mount on the back of my yak! Thanks for your thoughts and I’m excited to see videos filmed on it!

I enjoyed this unboxing vid, Aaron! Great job!!

Can you tell us how the pre recording works ?
For fishing this feature looks amazing.
Do we need to set it and when we hook the fish we need just say the command voice ?

Still making content with this camera? I’m thinking about getting it and putting it on an extended selfie stick for when I’m beach fishing. Then as front or rear view when I’m kayak fishing.

Your wife needs to talk to my wife!🤣I recently started using the max lens on the GoPro... it's not quite 360, but it's got that big field of view and the stabilization and horizon leveling is pretty good too. Still, this has me very intrigued!

Any updates on the x3? Want to use mine out on the water but I’m worried about getting it wet. It says it’s waterproof but I’ve heard a lot of stories where it doesn’t seal water out 100% should I get the dive case or another case? Have you messed around with those at all?

Boy the things this camera is gonna open up for your editing and filming abilities. My sling bag strap goes right across my chest where my GoPro sits so when I go out in the creek for smallies I’m gonna mount my GoPro on the strap sitting up on my right shoulder. It will hopefully eliminate all the hands in my vids and give a great perspective. The 360 is a killer shot tho. Great ideas as always Aaron.

Mount it on a helmet. You can get front and back views without holding it. Also as you turn your head the camera turns.
