I've been using the Insta360 ONE RS Twin Edition for a couple of weeks now,
Insta360 sent it out to me and I absolutely love it. I have been taking it out and around with me
and the reason I love it so much is because it's basically two cameras in one, it's an
action camera and a 360 camera, which is also an action camera, but yeah two lenses: a 360 camera
and a 4K Boost Lens, you don't have to have two separate cameras which is just awesome.
It's really easy to get going and start using. The 4K Boost Lens shoots up to 4K 60fps
and the 360 camera shoots 5.7K up to 120 fps I think, is that right?
Let me just check that. So 3K up to 100 fps and 5.7K up to 30 fps.
Also with the 4K Boost Lens you could zoom 2.7 times and you can
also zoom whilst you're actually filming, which is really useful instead of having to
set up your frame and then zoom where you want to and then stop recording,
zoom back out or zoom back in and do that. So I'm just going to show you what that looks like.
So I'm currently filming in the wide field of view so I'm just gonna
move this all the way in, zoom all the way in and then zoom back out again.
So it is really handy to be able to just zoom in and out whilst filming and it has the different,
specific set fields of view as well which also work really well.
So the ONE RS has Flow State stabilization and this works great and if you forget to actually
switch on Flow State stabilization on in the camera you can then just do it in the Insta360
Studio App either on desktop or mobile, so it's really useful. I'll talk more about the app later
on but yeah Flow State stabilization is great and it makes such a difference to having it on
to get much smoother and non-shaky footage, but the footage itself just you know in general
footage looks really good especially when you're shooting with really good lighting
from either the 4K lens or the 360 lens, the footage looks great, I just love this camera.
Audio sounds pretty decent too but as I mentioned with the Insta360 ONE
X2 you will want to get an external microphone just to get better audio
especially if you're using the 360 camera and you haven't got the camera close to you, so with the
360 camera you're more likely going to be using it on the invisible selfie stick, which is great,
and holding it out a lot further away from you so you're not going to be able to really hear your
voice or pick it up clearly so using an external microphone is going to be the best way to do that,
and like I said with the ONE X2 video, I did a video about audio for that camera and
the accessories that you need for that and it's basically the same accessories just tweaked for
the ONE RS so I’ll put a link in the description to those accessories and also the ONE X2 video
until I've done an updated video with the ONE RS for the audio bits and pieces but yeah
external audio, external microphone for the ONE RS using the 360 camera is definitely recommended.
So there are loads of different camera modes as well you can shoot just normal video,
you can shoot time lapse, you can shoot HDR, which actually works really well I tried it
and it did it worked pretty good, you do need to have decent lighting for HDR mode to work
and kind of have that dynamic range with the highlights and the shadows so it doesn't really
work if it's on a really dull day but if it's a really sunny day then it works really well,
and also photos, so you can shoot 48 megapixel photos which means that you can zoom into
different parts of the photo so you can just kind of take a photo and then zoom into where
you actually want to capture that action which is really good, and the photos are pretty sharp,
again, more light means better quality so just bear that in mind, but you can also shoot burst
mode as well so if you are trying to capture action then you've got that option to shoot in
burst mode and just not miss any action in the shot. One of the camera modes that I did forget
to mention was the 6K Widescreen mode and this basically, it's kind of like using an anamorphic
lens where you've got a really wide field of view and then you get these black bars at the top and
the bottom of the footage so you can do that if you like to shoot with an anamorphic lens
normally with regular cameras, or if you like to put those black bars at the top and the bottom of
your footage then this just allows you to put it into that mode, record and then you don't
have to do anything in post-production you just put your picture on the timeline and that's it.
So as I mentioned, the Studio App is just insane, I really really like it,
I don't even take the 360 footage into Premiere, even though there is a plug-in for it I just do
everything in the Insta360 Studio App because it has everything you need. You can trim your clips
you can add keyframes with the 360 footage you can move around and change perspective and change your
angles which means that if you literally just put the camera up in the air with the invisible selfie
stick point it in any direction but still point it like if you want to get yourself in the shot then
you want to hold it facing forward but if you're not really bothered you just literally point it
anywhere and then just reframe your shot in the into 360 Studio App, which is awesome but there's
loads of different features in the Insta360 Studio App so it's definitely worth using and you can
just export it as a high resolution clip for Adobe Premiere Pro anyway so it just means that you can
literally do everything there and then take that footage into Premiere to mix with your other
video clips as well and then similarly the mobile app is also awesome I love using this because
it's got a lot more features than the Studio App has. So you've got this thing called shot
lab where you can create really creative videos and video clips with it and they just added a new
feature actually, a new creative feature effect, a creative effect which is called Sky Swap, so
this is where if you've got a clip where you've got a lot of sky in your scene then you can swap
the sky out with these different creative effects which is actually quite fun to use, so yeah it's
definitely worth checking out that app as well and you can literally just cut up all your clips in
the mobile app as well and then just share them to social media wherever you want to share them and
also into the 360 community app as well. So yeah it's just really, really easy and really useful
and just make shooting with these cameras really fun, like I said I've got the ONE X2 which I
immediately loved when I started using it, 360 cameras are just so fun to use and I've just
been taking this one out and about with me. What I do want to do is a comparison between this ONE RS
Twin Edition with the 4K Boost Lens because there's no point with the 360 camera because
it won't be a fair comparison, but a comparison against the GoPro HERO10 to see which one I
prefer, but I think I already know what the answer is going to be without trying to be
biased just because I love it so much, but yeah I will do a comparison between that just so that I
can see the difference between footage and hear the audio comparisons and that kind of thing so
subscribe if you want to see that video and also let me know in the comments if you would
find that video useful as well, but otherwise I think I've covered pretty much everything that I
wanted to in terms of what's the most important features about the camera,
but if you use this camera and you have anything to add do let me know in the comments below and
everybody else but, yeah, thanks for checking out the video and I'll catch you next time.
