Pro tip 😂 Face the stitchline at the sun when you start recording and the exposure stitch will be smoother. And Looks heavy and like the lens might pop off. Sucks I won't be able to use it snowboarding.

This is the best review I have seen out of more than 50.
Thank you for taking the time to go to those beautiful places.
I have visited all of the 48 continental but Hawaii and Alaska, I love to visit Alaska before I die.
But you have given me some wonderful thrill of the State.
I have also visited 57 countries including three of Scandinavian countries but still have not had the privilege of Auroras glory.
I have ordered mine from B&H with Rode invisible clip and cannot wait enough to use it.
Thank you for taking the time to go to those beautiful places and filming with this camera. Mine will be my first 360.
Thank you again

Great review Jake! I need to talk the wife into one of these for our travels! Thanks

Excellent Review Video. Excellent Photography! Thank You Jake!

Amazing scenery to test the new insta360 camera. Not convinced about the pricing but it is tempting

[NICKs_HIGHTECH]

Perfect video and footage too Jake. I love this camera.I will try and get it the fast s possible.

Sweet! I love my Insta360 One x2. I cannot wait to see your additional up and coming review videos. I am really interested with the 1” sensor and the 6K res. I was hoping for 8k, but 6k will do.

I was looking at buying the Insta360 Sphere for my Air 2S. Do you have the sphere??? If so, how do you like it?

[RamonLinares]

Thanks for the review, very insightful!
The footage seems much cleaner than the previous models but it still looks a bit artificially oversharpened. I wonder if it would be better to record at the lowest sharpening level and then add it in post in the video editor?

Cool video Jake. Just when I told myself I don't really need a 360 camera. Quick question, I believe when you export it will only be 1080p? Is this correct? Does upscaling footage to 4K help with this when you export your final video? How would the exported quality compare to something like a gopro that will give 4K footage straight?

I bought the 1 inch insta and love it. You said what I always tell people, that you can't miss a shot. The only time you miss a shot is when you didn't have the camera on. Love running around with my children with this camera and reframing it later in post with multiple views. Never going back to Gopro.

hi Jake great review - AND LOCATION! I have to ask - how is your footage crisper than that of other reviewers...? the distant horizons are all neat, no blur .... are other reviewers not managing their youtube settings.... or what? Keenly waiting for your next one! all the best!

[vonheise]

I need more info. I like some of what I see, however I see a lot of distortion, or curvature. Is there a way to eliminate this, as I like reality more than a fisheye view. On the other hand, I like something that doesn't make sense to me, the "selfie stick" doesn't seem to show except in the shadows. Is this something new that I have missed with my Go Pro, or something new?

[waynosfotos]

Can you use the insta desktop app on your Ipad pro, via the browser to get better footage. As my Ipad pro is my video work station?
Also does the silicon lens cover come in the box or is this a accessory purchase?

[JONBEEOTCH]

Can't decide if the playstation 2 meat hand/arm is a pro or a con... I kinda like it :)

[AnubisArtsTJGrady]

Great info Jake. I’ve been debating on getting one. This made it a little easier decision.

[chanceleavelle]

The image quality looks great to me. My question is will the video always be in a fish eye lens or is that something you can edit in post? And once you edit it will it still have a slight fish eye effect or can it been smoothed into a more normal looking shot? (I'm not a camera guy. Just very intrigued by this product and found your review) Thank you!

[geminiq]

OMG! Plane, Helicopter and hiking all together! What a production with extreme vehicles. you talked like an ordinary hiking day =).
Yeah guys now I'm testing insta360 with heli yeah just fine, now with plane yeah everything is ok too... lets try amazon space travel thing... hmm not bad! xD

[BackroadExploits]

The detail certain appears to be much better than the X2. Curious how long was the selfie stick you were using? Liked the review and am on the fence getting one.

[mobilehomer]

Neat camera. GREAT video. The only drawback I can see, how long does it take for your hand to go back to normal after filming? That must hurt!!😀😂

[julienduvoyage]

Thanks for the review :) I'm waiting for mine today :D
About audio recording, can you just record ambient sound from the DJI wireless ? I want to record live festival footage, but I don't know what invisible audio setup to use. Should I use the DJI wireless and keep on mic on my neck ? Or can I just use the mic from the cam ? thanks for helping
