[Music] foreign [Music] hi there welcome to the beaten Trail and in this episode we're going to
do a product review and a video on the insta 360 camera and this gives us 360 degrees of
action filming it's got a half inch sensor just a quick shout out to our partners we appreciate
having you on board thank you and we do like the quality that the X3 gives us over the X2
which we've used in past videos now the magic of this is if you're filming a GoPro on the front
of a ride say here at Miguel's Can-Am you'll see that you're just going to get one angle
with this I can adjust post-production and I can get Miguel's reaction I can film the
back of the vehicle I can film myself in this case I have it on a selfie stick the
selfie stick is invisible if I was to look down we'll show you that later in the video
you would stick the stick out the window you can mount it permanently and you'll get a 360 View
which you can use for multiple angles later it films in every direction so say someone
drove off into a separate ditch or an area you could get a lot of these different angles that
maybe you didn't realize were going on as you were filming it a great tool goes for
about four or five hundred dollars depending on the model that you would get but we use it
as an additional filming means either in the cabin we do we can mount it inside you've seen
us do some inside cabin like we're doing here most of the time it will be for filming outside
you can adjust the Angles and you can zoom point of view in and out
it does use maximum I believe up to a two of these six or five twelve card and you can pretty much
have multiple batteries you can plug it in right in charge for USBC although you'll see that
connector in the film which I found out so you want to make sure it's sealed it's all put away
and we'll show you a little bit more the insta360 program that it comes with and you can do this on
your phone or you can do this on your computer Windows based you can zoom in real time to the
footage as it's playing and so say we want to go ahead and take a look I'm going to remove
some of these markers these are keyframes that indicate where the camera is looking
and we want to make some changes to this video just to demonstrate to you how powerful this is
so usually GoPros they aim in One Direction you miss it out of frame you miss it out of
frame whereas here I'm just holding this on a stick I'm in the passenger seat with Miguel
later on in the process of this video I will be holding the stick out the window on a selfie
stick and the magic of the insta360 is it blocks out the stick so it's invisible you don't see it
so in this case we are just going ahead and trying to just edit this video a little bit we're going
to take some of these out just to demonstrate how powerful the software is and this is real
time if I want to go ahead and if I want to put a keyframe here this will just give us a
forward-facing view now we're shooting this in 5.7 K that's a total of both cameras lenses and you
get a 4k on the front and the back if you want to have it in that mode we have it in full 360 mode
it is different way of filming some people don't like the fisheye lens
if you want you you can zoom all the way out and have that funky look or you can zoom in
just the more you zoom in the less resolution you're really going to realize in that video
you can change the view at any time we're going around a turn I'm going to put it in
the keyframe here it just allows the camera to follow if you don't have an object in front now
by all means you can do some tracking as well if we were to highlight one of the vehicles
this is a far distance but if we went in here and we wanted a target an object we can but this close
we're going to try it a different way but you can you can Target anything a person a ride
maybe a dirt bike goes by you can track that in the software to again give you a different view
you don't have to track all the time and do it manually but if you did this and then took off
you'd see that the insta360 software will track that image and it comes in handy it's not always
foolproof want around trees but for the most part it works pretty well and you can use that and the
magic of this is just having it film everything around you and you can go in afterwards after
the ride maybe somebody backed into something and you didn't see it because you weren't looking in
the front you can make all that change and you can just you can get like 10 different
videos out of one source video from all different directions and here you can see we're tracking
the ride in front of us and does a pretty good job I have to say we've done it with dirt bikes
it is looking at the image not necessarily the colors so I guess if you had a brown brown on
Brown object you wouldn't look as good but you can make all these changes in real time
as you can see and then you'd back up and then you'd export it
you can get a couple different views here not everybody's into the fisheye
lens look but you can look forward again you're filming in both directions so you
know we're making a little change here so the turn gives a little more movement
image quality going around trees you can make it look pretty cool there's a lot of tricks you can
do with the insta 360. it's not a cheap camera it's still a four or five hundred dollar camera
but if I wanted to look straight down look I can't see the stick it makes it invisible and then if I
choose I want to go ahead and maybe see the beaten Trail Flags in the background I'd go ahead and put
a keyframe over there and so for a little bit I can see who's following us and the flags in the
background and I can pretty much put as many key frames as I want on here to make the image look
as I want we've we had a Vince 360 X2 which was not bad but the one thing about these are the
lenses are very very sensitive and very delicate so you need to not be whacking into tons of trees
like I did this day with Miguel driving overall it's just another great tool for you to have
I'd recommend taking a look at the insta360 there's a lot of 360 cameras out here that's
not really a comparison of all of them this is the one that I decided based on the price battery life
the editor is very powerful and when you save you can choose your file name and path you can change
the bit rate as well as the resolution and you can export multiple versions of this and multiple
Styles like I said one set of video on a stick can give you 10 different views front rear up
down left right fisheye all these specialty views and so we really enjoy it it's a great tool to
have to add to maybe a GoPro you already have I think the key is to have it on an elevated stick
if you're going to mount it on the front and that way the rear view looks at the driver the rest of
the vehicle and not just at The Grille of the the front of your side by side now if you have
a motorcycle you can mount this on top of your helmet it gives some amazing views now obviously I
don't drive a motorcycle so we'll have to get this on Nate or somebody to show you really what it's
like but this is just us driving around Dark Water beautiful day and a little bit of snow a little
bit of ice and the sun was out so you can see the resolution is pretty good on this a lot of people
say it's sad doesn't look as good as a 10 I mean it's not gonna or pass what a GoPro 10 looked like
we really enjoy it and it's good for supplemental it's good for additional footage I don't know
if I'd film a whole episode on it but you could do it all on your phone and you can do the same
thing on a GoPro you just use the software on your phone or the or Windows or Mac afterwards
so it's an excellent tool plan on an hour battery life so get some extra batteries and a charger
we carry that around with us and you can just keep those charged but there's many accessories
you can get for these you can do underwater filming with a whole housing even though this
is waterproof I still wouldn't put it submerged you can get the stick and the lens cover and all
Specialty Products all together we're going to put those links up here but thank you for
watching if you have any questions send us a note and we will see you out there on the trail thanks
