What's up guys Ben here from authentech, and this is the new Insta360 ONE R, now
I can finally show you all the sample photos and videos I really am excited
about this product there's some cool potential in this video also show some
sample footage from the max and the GoPro 8 and the ONE X, seeing which one
shoots the best quality photos and video so what is the one R well it's a modular
camera system here's a 360 mod that we can just snap off click in a 4k wide or
a one-inch sensor mod snaps right into that same brain system it's reversible
so if you need a selfie shot point the screen right back at yourself and then
click the little battery sled right in very cool the 360 mod records at 5.7 K
res this is a 4k wide-angle that one inch sensor can record up to 5.3 k video
so it's even higher res than 4k very cool again that screen is reversible
it's waterproof built in up to 16 feet or about 5 meters it records in h.265 so
we've got smaller file sizes and it's a bump up in quality we can record an HDR
video there's that flow state stabilization that looks over smooth
with time shift mode and AI editing and the app and so much more and yes this is
that 1 inch camera mod now I've been super excited to test it out they
partnered with Leica on the lens I'm still waiting on the firmware to iron
out some of the bugs so you'll have to come back for my next video where I will
definitely deep dive on this thing and please please leave all your questions
comments ideas either down in the comments or send me a DM on Instagram
and I'll try to get to it in my future comparison and review videos here from a
reviewers perspective this is very overwhelming you've got different camera
mods so many things to compare to it's an awesome problem to have as a consumer
though it's pretty awesome because then there's so many shooting possibilities
with all these different mods and future expansions down the road I'm also
finding as their app keeps getting better and better with this one are
there's so much AI technology and some auto editing
some really cool things I'll show you in this video and of course all the links
to everything will be down below so my quick disclosures here all hardware and
software our pre-production keep that in mind no sponsorship here just huge
things to insta 360 for sending me the early unit to test out now at first I
didn't really love the idea or the design it's a smaller touchscreen on the
back here it's sort of blocky in hand I really like the One X it's comfortable
to hold easy to slip into the pocket it's just comfortable
ergonomics and fun to shoot with so I was a little bit on the fence with the
one arse product design but the more I shoot with it the more I'm analyzing the
photos and videos it's coming out really good so they're really winning me over
the more I get to play with it so you're some of the things I like about the 1r
first its modular and I love all things modular there's certain situations where
I would need just a wide-angle 4k flat video camera or maybe even a one inch
sensor for some higher quality or low light shooting and then there's other
times where I love shooting 360 it opens up this world of creative unique shots
I'm out on my scooter around the lake I'm capturing everything and later in
editing I can reframe up the shots so instead of toss into your camera bag a
360 camera and then a GoPro or whatnot this is sort of combine it all into one
you'd have the same battery pack to charge a mob it's all being recorded on
one SD card so workflow and efficiency is gonna be super streamlined believe me
I've had a juggle between so many cameras on one shoot it's sort of a
nightmare so some of the other pros I'm really liking the video quality looks
really good so far now I still need to keep shooting and testing but here's
some sample shots and it looks really really good
of course stabilization is always incredible with the insta 360 and
they've stepped it up here again the HDR video has some good potential it's
usually meant for stationary shots but even when I was out moving around it
looked pretty good and I'm assuming it'll only get better with more updates
this is video quality with the lens guards aw
this is quality with the lens guards on
the new one our app feels even more polished and there's way more controls
and tools inside it would take all day to show you all the features in the app
but again smooth timeline scrubbing we can change ratio there's all the
standard trim speed filters and more giving you keyframe editor that I really
like to have to add reframe wide ultra wide even Dutch tilt tap again you find
their mode then here's some AI can automatically detect some subjects
objects Auto track and maybe suggest what you might want to follow you can
trim these in and out you can select which ones you want to use if we go
under the stories tab there's the new shot lab stop-motion Auto time shift
basically you load in these clips that you record and its gonna automatically
analyze and then try to output some cool unique videos like these and then of
course there's my stories where you can add multiple clips one after another
like on a timeline to create a story and export for your socials one of my
favorite new features is the smooth timeline scrubbing this is so nice to
have check this out I'm recording a 4k video clip on the one-inch mod I'm
connected via Wi-Fi as soon as I stop recording Ben it shows up and then I can
smooth the timeline scrub it's so sweet so check this out I am a wirelessly
connected over to my 1r while it's charging over there and I can scroll
through my clips preview any of them the new timeline scrubbing is super smooth
and helpful this is all over Wi-Fi I think they're using the 5 gigahertz band
so it's a lot faster and the next best part is we can add it straight from here
so I can add keyframes I can do my viewfinder mode which is one of my
favorites then after editing that's still without
copying the files over we can export this video fixed frame or 360 color plus
on or off we have some custom controls here as
betray max-frame ray and boom it's exporting right now wirelessly not ever
needing to copy the files over to the phone first then edit and then re export
that's gonna save a ton of time plus gonna save a lot of file space on our
phones or computer we can also shoot at 1080p at 200 frames per second and the
quality looks really good here as well so let's say I'm filming on the 4k wide
lens in the camera settings we can set different field of view ultra wide wide
narrow well it's kind of cool is it's capturing at all no matter which one you
select for preview so when we copy it over let's say you didn't capture wide
enough well we can still punch out or in after the fact with this 4k wide lens we
can record 4k 60fps that's really nice durability was a big question from
people and I'm finding that feels pre rugged now yes there's moving parts and
it splits apart but they say when it's connected together correctly it's gonna
be waterproof built in as is up to 5 meters or 16 feet down which is super
awesome the 1x was not waterproof so it's awesome to see the 1r now is
battery life so far seems pretty good I also saw that they're gonna have an
extended extra thick battery pack that'll be really sweet plus it has the
GoPro fingers for mounting built right in that's really sweet there's this
drone attachment that I saw I'm trying to get my hands on one for you guys you
attach it to your Mavic Pro and it's got a lens on the bottom and the top with
the main brains off to the side and then it's basically stitching out that whole
middle section of the drone so we've got an invisible flying drone we can
reposition the camera anywhere looks like awesome impossible shots so I
can't wait to test that out another awesome feature is wireless audio I've
actually been asking for this for years but it looks like if you have some air
pods or maybe some other wireless bluetooth mics you'll be able to connect
it up and have wireless audio they also sell for only 10 bucks so it's pretty
cheap I appreciate that feels GoPro would probably be like $70 plugs in via
USB see has three and a half mic jacks you can use any microphone that you can
imagine I'm adding the best behind got a little something for this video
test and then I'm also gonna grab a coffee from an alchemy to come along
right now I'm filming an HDR video so how does the dynamic range look can you
see out the bright Sun roof and the front windshield
what about can you see my exposure and everything around the car is my Pringles
is this the perfect dashcam well that's pretty expensive but 360 we're recording
all possible angles you'll never miss the shot that's pretty cool look at that
if you want to hear a black for 50 plus you want the maxed another 500 it's not
even modular great influence blog that's pretty funny this is what I'm looking
for that Wireless it go thing as they sweet wireless mic option we got the
goods
thanks out commands oh it's so good
power of the one arm got our receiver here and I get that thing it shows the
microphone up there alright what's up guys so this is an
audio test shooting with the road wireless go now what's so cool is I can
be looking at the camera or looking this way and walking backwards or I can even
just set this out like this and go walking around close or far and I should
be able to reframe the camera anywhere I want and be maintaining wireless clear
high-quality audio no this is actually working is super exciting
and I think I'll be using the setup a ton in the future and of course it kind
of goes without mentioning I'm just using the rode wireless go snapped on
right here a little bit janky it's fine but if I wanted a wireless lav I could
hide that under here slip this low guy into my pocket I'm not sure where the
best hiding spot for the receiver is for the road wireless go but I'll keep
experimenting with that so yeah I tried it on the road go system and it works
really well now I haven't been able to figure out our smooth convenient way to
mount it so that it's in that invisible stitch line and it is thin enough that
it could be hidden if all these wireless audio options come to fruition well
that's gonna be a huge deal for moto vloggers I get messages and comments
from those guys all the time and they're looking for the perfect camera you can
shoot 360 or 4k wide up there if you need low-light maybe the one in a sensor
and then you've got your wireless mic solution that's pretty cool there's
night shot and that's another example of some great potential again once that
one-inch sensor gets that firmware update I can't wait to film with this
thing it should look really good in low-light conditions so here's a little
video sample of the 1r 360 mod versus the max versus the 1x this is the
instant 361 R this is an audio test audio test one two three
or this is the GoPro max audio test one two three four this is the insta 360 1x
are your test one two three four in my first impressions it looks like the 1r
is the clear winner the GoPro Max is just way too contrast
II and honestly I look pitch-black it looks terrible
between the One X and the one R I think the 1 R takes it I can definitely notice
a bit of that quality improvement now a lot of people were concerned about the
stitch line so was I the one X is super thin and it was so good with that
invisible selfie stick and you can never really see that merged line between the
two lenses well so far again beta firmwares and
software but it looks pretty good in this shot I'm holding out the invisible
selfie stick and it looks invisible you really can't see it unless you look for
the shadow and then as for the stitch line blur well it looked like it was a
little apparent here and there but you have to be really looking for it another
small but appreciated update it looks like we can quick charge the battery up
to 80% in half an hour and it's USB type-c so that's really nice so now on
to some of the cons I've found so far I don't love the shape it just still feels
a little bulky and heavy and design again this one could easily slide into
my pocket this it can but it's just a little bit less comfortable one of my
favorite features of the One X was that quarter-twenty tripod mount built right
in and there's not one here on the one arm they give us this little cage that
we can snap it in and then mount from there but to go in and out and then
swapping out the mods is just that extra step that I don't really love I heard
some people say that they're stripped out but I've had it two of these worked
on pretty heavy over the past year and a half and I've never had it stripped out
so maybe some people were just over tightening I'm not sure I just wish that
they had fit one of these maybe into this battery or into the brain somewhere
that will been really convenient again I saw that extended battery pack has those
fingers mounted right into it it looks like so for me that might be a
have maybe if they put a little USB port on the battery pack to charge it itself
separately if you have a few of these lying around and be kind of nice and
then probably my biggest wishlist items I was really hoping for a 360 lens of
higher resolution of 5.7 K which is the same as the One X which means our
exports from this are still limited at 1080p I was really hoping we could
export in 4k video but that doesn't seem to be here just yet now I'm not sure if
this is a pricing or cost issue or sizing I'm hoping to get my hands on
that Koo cam 8k which is like a bigger 1x version so make sure you subscribe
and stick around for that video coming soon a lot of people are saying was this
may be a good idea in concept but realistically they don't want to be
swapping mods and lenses in and out especially if it's mounted in a case
most people were just hoping for a new and improved 1x model with higher
resolution like I said exporting that video files 4k better sound with
external mic support waterproofing and a built in screen well what do you know as
I say those things out loud this sort of checks the boxes on almost all of those
things now do I think I'll be going out on every shoe with all these mods in my
pocket probably not but what's nice is for each use case scenario I'm thinking
oh well do I need 360 well I'll just grab this one and go maybe if I'm going
out on a trip well then yeah I'll toss them all in my camera bag it's not a big
deal and they don't take up much space or
wait maybe a future proofs the purchase a little bit since they can always come
out with more mods and add-ons down the road and then instead of buying a whole
new camera system you're just buying that one or two new mod which is kind of
cool so yeah if I had two or three different cameras all juggling on one
project that's three different SD cards having a juggle and copy them over to
the computer and try to keep it organized it's a bit of a nightmare to
have it all sort on one micro SD card as super sweet it makes it easier for
copying files over to let's say my phone while editing on the go trimming
exporting for some social posts less batteries to carry around is one battery
system one charging cable it's pretty sweet and I think I'm loving it born
the more I get a play with it it's sort of fun to compare the pricing on the
GoPro eight we're around four hundred dollars the max we're at five hundred so
we're at nine hundred bucks now if you get the one our twin Edition two plus
the one-inch mod you're at seven hundred and eighty so that's quite a bit cheaper
than packaging those three other cameras together so this is the insta 361 R and
some comparisons versus some of the top competition now thank you guys so much
