What's going on guys
Aldryn Estacio here with flytpath com this is a little bit different of a video because I'm not gonna be talking about drones
well
I'm actually gonna be talking about drones a little bit towards the end of the video about using this thing on a drone
But this is a little bit different because we're talking about 360 cameras. And as you guys know, I'm not a 360 camera channel
However, I've had the insta 360 one for a while now and I do use it a lot for my behind-the-scenes footage
So I was excited to get my hands on the insta 360 One X and in this video
I'm not gonna be doing a bunch of side-by-side comparisons trying to compare this with any other 360 camera
There's gonna be a ton of our viewers out there
They're gonna be able to go into a lot of detail trying to compare these out there with you know
The rylos and the gopro fusions and things like that for me
I just want to talk to you about some of the features
I like about the new 360 One X and how I'm able to possibly use this in my future workflows
I'm not gonna go through every single spec as far as what the camera can and can't do but I do want to go through
some of the cool features
of the new into 360 One x that I feel like I might be able to use and I think you guys might be able to
Benefit from as well
Now as you guys know, of course when I get some new products, I'm gonna do an unboxing so stick around for that
If not, I'm also gonna leave time-codes down below
So you're able to jump around and see if there's some new features or any parts of the video that you really want to see
Feel free to check those out but first and foremost, let's do a quick unboxing. Here. It is guys
He updated packaging for the new into 360 One X
Action cam on the front here has a couple icons that just show you some of the features that this camera does offer
5k at 30 frames a second
It has 18 megapixel photos as well as the updated flow state stabilization
On the side here more features talking about the 360 capture invisible stick flow state stabilization
So if you guys aren't familiar with the insta 360 camera in general, especially if you're talking about version one
They are one of the ones that really marketed the fact that when they do shoot video
You're able to do what's called an invisible stick and it's just the way that the cameras are positioned
That little most looks like you're not holding anything
So you're just kind of you see your hand kind of sticking out there, which is really cool
So that's one of the good things as far as their marketing goes. They've been marketing this thing called invisible selfie stick
So this of course will be doing the exact same thing
Updated bullet time as well as speeds on transferring on the side here
It just says what's included in the bag looking like it has a bullet time accessory
protective pouch battery charging cables Quick Start Guide warranty card accessory list
let's open it up and make sure it's all in there and see exactly what all the
accessories and all the things that come with it so here at the bottom we have what looks like a picture of a battery as
Well as the bullet time accessory battery a little fishing wire and has a quarter
Twenty thread here at the bottom
Which is going to be to attach to the bottom of your insta 360 1x and here it is guys the new
Insta360 One X as you can see, it's a little bit wider
But it is a little bit thinner than the original
360 One the very bottom here looks like we have the quarter 20
so you're able to put that onto your
Accessories as well as it looks like that is the SD card slot area on one side of the camera
We have an indicator a little light indicator right here. And of course one lens on the side. We have the battery compartment
So just click and open this up and there is your battery compartment right there
And on the other side, of course, we have the other camera on the other side. We have a micro SD
Port more likely this is going to be for charging as well as for software updates
Cable, so we have the micro USB
Cable to USB this like I said is going to be more likely for charging as well as for software updates
Here is the protective pouch, which looks really cool. Oh, here you go
So it's a little wetsuit material style pouch
This is a little bit different on the original what they did is they gave you the kind of a plastic tabletop holder
Which I thought was really cool because you're able to then stand this up
So I'm not sure how you're able to do that with this one at this point
But I thought this was really cool because it was more like a stand and not just a cover
How's your camera in just like that and then it has a little lanyard here?
so throw it around your neck hook it up to your bag or something like that and we have of course all the paperwork that
Everyone loves into the 360 Quick Start Guide what's included in the box?
Paperwork and we also have the capturing bullet time with the insta 360 One X
Documentation here. Just kind of showing you some tips on what to do what not to do
Alright here is everything comes with it's a camera. Of course
We have the carrying case, which is a little bit different than the original. We have the 360 bullet time
and quarter-twenty battery
Multiple wires here to connect it to your laptop your computer your phones as well as for charging and of course all the paperwork stickers
What's included Quick Start Guide as well as the capturing bullet time tutorial now along with the stuff that's in the box
I also have a few other accessories here. The first one we have is the insta 360 selfie stick
And the other one here is the bullet time handle which attaches to the selfie stick
Let's open this up to see exactly how it all fits together and here is the insta
360
Selfie stick has a nice little rubber handle here at the bottom
And of course at the very bottom we have the quarter twenty thread
I'm assuming that's gonna be for the bullet time handle and there's open up this bullet time handle see how this thing worked now
Here's the stick
And all you have to do is with the quarter 20 at the bottom screw this on just like that
instead of using that fishing string on fishing line
You can use something like this where you're able to just swing this around and to attach the camera to the selfie stick all you have
to do is the 1/4 20 here at the very bottom hook those up together and
Now you have a secured camera while you're spinning it around
Now as you guys know, I've actually had the insta 360 one for a while now
But they've actually made a bunch of updates as far as the controls on the camera itself
so one of the big drawbacks with this camera would you weren't able to
See exactly what your resolution was what your frame rate you were shooting at until you plug it into your phone
But what they've done now
With the new inside 360 1x is they've actually added a screen here to let you know exactly what resolution you're shooting at
You're able to go through a menu system now and make all these changes on the fly without having to plug this into your phone
I don't want to think about it
I just want to know that if I press a button or two it'll record and I can quickly be able to look down and
See exactly what I'm recording whether it's a standard video at 4k or whether I'm dually doing bullet time
I'm able to now see all of that here on this little screen
Now one of the big change of courses as you can see here, is that the lens are now
exactly in the same position and
The bigger thing is this size as far as the distance between the cameras is a lot smaller on the new
Versus the original one. So before on the first generation insta 360 just has an internal battery that you have to continuously charge via microUSB
But here just like an action camera you're able to now swap out or have multiple
Batteries and not be dependent on charging it only through the USB now here at the top
We have one of the cameras in the middle. We have your screen
so let you know what resolution you're on what frame rate you're on and
The ability to see exactly if you want to make some changes here
We also have the record button and then we also have the menu select button now
This might be a smaller detail
But with the first gen insta 360 we had this plastic holder here
Which I thought was kind of cool because you're able to post this up just like that or put your phone here
But this thing just in general was kind of big
So if you were to throw this in your pocket now, you have this kind of big bulgy thing in your pocket
Which kind of that's just kind of weird now
but now insta 360 X it's a lot thinner so you're able to toss this and what they give you is a
Sleeve to put it in and it also has like a lanyard so you have to put around your neck if you wanted to
But this sleeve is really nice and it keeps everything really slim
So you're just able to put it through here just to protect the lens itself and you're able to transport this a little bit easier
Now toss this in your bag or your pocket
This might not be new to some of the people who have already had a 360 camera or have done a little bit of research
On it, but it's a 360
I think to me was one of the first ones that
Introduced what they're calling the invisible stick and all that really means is when you're able to put your camera on something like a selfie
pole like this
This is actually the insta 360 one
but the way the cameras position
And the way that their software is designed to edit and Stitch the photos together and stitch your videos together
Is that when you do hold this up, you're not able to see the actual stick in the video itself?
Now the reason why I didn't really put too much emphasis on 360 before is because I also felt the software wasn't really up-to-date
To handle it as well as a stabilization just wasn't there yet
Another big reason of course too is stabilization now a lot of cameras, especially if you guys have been watching recently
Action cameras have taken, you know image stabilization
Especially in body image stabilization to another level where everyone's talking about it being gimbal like now the way you're able to process
this and I was actually doing a few test running around with my kids at a playground as
Well as running straight lines and just seeing how much wobble how much shake is in this thing
I hooked up a GoPro to it just to show you how much wobble was happening and even in my car
Putting this outside of the roof and then showing you how much shake is happening in the wind
But yet the footage itself was super stable
Of course that has to deal with the in body stabilization as well as the software with the flow state stabilization
so it is very gimbal like I would say but man it's
Definitely come a long way where you have something this small and the footage you're getting out of it is so smooth
And another thing in their software
There's a thing that they're calling now time shift where you're able to slow down and ramp up real fast up to
16 times your speed now when I did that on the freeway, I mean and this camera was outside of the car
I mean the wind was kicking on it so hard and it was pretty much going like this the whole time
You know using it with my kids is a big deal and also
Using it for something like this where I'm able to get a really really stable hyperlapse
Now, of course, they brought over a bullet time, which was introduced on insta
360 and this one shoots in 3k resolution at a hundred frames a second Here
I am setting up to use the bullet time. I want to make sure I have enough room around me
I was using the selfie stick as well as the handle to do the 360, but I really wanted to use the drone
So I wanted to try something different. So here I am using a 360 cam
doing the bullet time 360 and then doing a 360 orbit around me at the same time with the DJI Mavic 2 -
Here's the footage straight out of camera of the bullet time effect using the insta 360 One X
Now when it comes to viewing and editing your footage
Of course able to do that through your iOS or Android device. They have their own app that's made for your phone
But the cool thing about some of the new features in the app is that you're able to take multiple clips and edit those together
as
well as you're able to use
Not only the cables to transfer everything over but you're also able to use what they have now
Is it enhance Wi-Fi to make that connection and download videos from the camera straight to your phone?
and one of the new features is HDR shooting as well as you're able to shoot RAW so you're able to take control of your
Photo by changing ISO shutter speed exposure all those things on the fly. So I just no of course
I'm more of a drone focus channel, and if you guys watching my previous videos when I'm talking about accessories
I was able to throw the insta
360 on my drone fly around with no issues
Here's a little funny story about trying to toss the into 360 One X on my drone
So you were thinking it's interference
It is there's interference, I think it's too close
All right come here check this out
Wanted to fly my drone
But let me take a screenshot of it actually hold on
Check this out
With instant 360 on the drone
It's blocking satellite positioning
Even walking up and down. I was only able to get three maybe four satellites and all I'm trying to screen capture
So I'll put it on top, but once I remove it
There it is
Once I once I remove it
Instantly 15 16 17 satellites, I
Did not have this issue with the insta360 One
so I don't know what it is with this one, but
Let's look at our yeah 15 satellites, I'll put this back on
Okay back on and now instantly
Instantly GPS satellites are off there you have four so it goes between three four and five
So there's something happening that's giving me interference with GPS
so I'm not able to get a GPS lock even if I walk around with it, but
And because of that I'm not going to fly it
Unless I don't want to have my drone of my camera back
That was a fun test. Let's pack it up.
Now the one thing that's great about this camera is that it really is what they say
It's supposed to do and that is really shoot first and point. Later
Which means?
you could pretty much just have this thing filming and
All you have to do is then go into post-production later and you can move that footage around and record
Whatever you want to record and save that clip out so you don't even have to worry about pointing this any which way
It records everything the stitching looks really solid and the quality of this thing is pretty good in bright daylight
I'm not going to go into too much detail as far as testing in low-light at this point
I will probably do that in future videos
But overall I feel like this thing can live in my bag and now it could be a standalone camera because I'm able to change
Settings right on the fly just like every camera
I think there's definitely some improvements that can happen in the future versions of this 360 camera
The first thing that comes to mind is I really wish that the buttons were recessed
Because every time I would put this away or put it in my sleeve
I would accidentally always hit one of the buns next, you know, I'm either recording or it's pulling up the menu system
So just having these buttons recessed I think would prevent some of those issues
I was having that every time I would grab this camera or put it away
I would always end up hitting something and they say, you know, it's on or it's recording also another improvement
I think they could work on is just the brightness of the screen now in bright daylight
This screen is very very difficult to see every time I was shooting with it
I'd have to pretty much kind of cover to make sure and see exactly what my settings were
So the brightness of the screen really?
I think they might be able to improve on that way
You're able to look at this thing in bright daylight a little bit easier to see exactly
What your settings aren't just to confirm that you are recording
So the brightness of the screen and the contrast ever to think they may be able to improve that just a little bit more now
Overall, I am super impressed with this camera and it really hits on some of those key features that I was talking about
Stabilization that hyperspeed stabilization is unreal with that
time shift and I think the biggest thing is being able to now just point it anywhere and
shooting and then know that I can not only
processing really quickly on my phone
But export out a little video that I'm able to use
And not have to worry about did I get the shot?
Because you're pretty much always gonna get this shot with this type of camera
it's just a matter of you going back into the footage and
Repositioning the footage to make sure that you're actually pointing it as a specific subject
You're trying to shoot now
