Small lens cloth, then the silicone cover over that. You still get the protection of the cover but won't have anything sliding over the lens. You also have your cloth ready for a quick clean as soon as you remove the cover. Just give the cloth a really good shake before it goes near the lenses.

Very helpful: not spinning the camera, being aware of light source/stitch line and in app color adjusting are my top tips. I am already cleaning lenses :). Thank you!

Brilliant info, straight to the point in a clear precise professional manner.
You cut the crap, which is a much refreshing change on YouTube.
Well done, keep up the good work.

Thanks. Would be nice to have a video explaining good export settings for e.g Instagram, which will compress large files coming from high bitrate etc. Perhaps a video covering what bitrate is and when to select a lower bitrate won't noticeably sacrifice quality (eg. slow videos), what length to keep them to etc.

Hi can you recommend a player that is either HLS or DASH capable? Ideally that supports desktop and headset playback

[andrewtoddmedia]

Awesome, and straight to the point. Thanks for the tips! I'm just getting started with my Insta360 X3, and I have that rubber cap for my camera. Will certainly have to be careful with dirt, sand, and even water. Just subscribed.

Great video! Simple, but very useful tips.

Is it better to get a 360 camera composed of more than 2 cameras? Less lens distortion? Potential for higher resolution overall?

[ArkleyBarnet]

Thanks Daniel, the obvious made easy and understandable.

Hello and what do you think about the cover for the lens? the original that 360 have!

[reyacoustics]

Fantastic video! I'm an instant subscriber!

Can you advise on how to shoot for full 360 video? Im not really interested in reframing, i want the output to be full 360. the 360 video I have now has poor quality with the X3.

[Sparky_D]

Nice video dude. Not using those silicone lens covers is definitely a good tip. I hate those things.

[Hagen]

Excellent video as always! Thanks (from Brazil)!

[rotorfpv]

is worth render to 4k 25fps? or 1080p is enough and max quality? I have 1" 360 and video footage is poor:( only 25fps, not smooth

[andrewfinck]

Just to make sure I am not missing something, ....you edit the 360 video in the studio and export all the clips and then add them together in a seperate app to create a longer video? You can't do that in the studio?

Great video thanks ! In which light conditions should we use active HDR in 5.7K ?
For social media should we export our video in ProRes format ?

[ferranmarti]

Great video, as usual. Beautiful Barcelona, Parque Güell and la Sagrada Familia. 👍
