Here is a drone shot of the ONE X2 - if you are afraid of height, don't look down.
The sharpness of the ONE X2, even with just the same sensor size as One X and One R, still
have a great improvement.
You can see the Ocean from here, which is miles away from where I am.
Today, we are going to do a side by side comparison among all consumer 360 cameras - Insta360
ONE X2, One R, One X, GoPro MAX, Qoocam 8K, and even the brand new Labpano Pilot One EE
- to see which is the best 360 camera for immersive content creation for Oculus Quest
2 or YouTube VR.
It is highly recommand to watch this on a VR headset if you have one.
But your mobile phone or 4K TV will work.
Look around, please.
This is a 360 video.
If you are ready to see how much better ONE X2 compare to One R or GoPro MAX, let's dive
right in!
Here we have ONE X2 - our model Keeley will go around the camera to test stitching quality.
But if you pay attention to the chart, you see the sharpness is greatly improved on the
ONE X2.
Stitching quality is what I really want to show you.
ONE X2 has the best stitching quality compared to One R and the old One X.
When our Model walk around, the stitch still break down as the chart and her is only 2
feet away from the stitch line - no camera in that close distance will not break down
in stitching.
On the stitching topic, no one seems to look at the nadir at the bottom of the camera - or
top of the camera.
If you look down right now, you see the almost perfect circle of my round microphone stand.
Later you see in One R and the old One X - they both have really horrible top and bottom stitching
artifacts - which is the biggest complaint from the professional immersive content creator.
So, if you want to eliminate stitching problem, upgrade to One X2 from your One R or One X
is the best way to go.
Also noticeable to mention in all my tests - the drone shot you see here during sunset
or driving down Venice against the sun - the Red Dot of Doom is completely gone now.
So after 3 cameras - One X, One R, and One X2 - Insta360 finally figure out the problem.
Kinda funny as GoPro figure out even back in Fusion.
Now let's look at One R in comparison.
I already cover my opinion on One R vs One X2 on my official ONE X2 review right here,
so I will not bother you with my voice anymore.
I will let you discover the strength and weaknesses yourself to draw your own conclusion.
Just remember to look down, look all around, look at the sun and shadow to see the image
quality.
Here we have the old One X. I think if you have a One X, you should really upgrade to
the One X2 - the image quality and stitching quality is so much better, it is well worth
it.
Here we have the GoPro MAX.
The resolution of GoPro MAX, which is not even 5.7K, is its weakness.
You can clearly see that in the focus chart.
I hear rumor MAX will have an update to make it better - so don't lose hope on GoPro.
Now we have the Qoocam 8K.
In the latest firmware, you see Qoocam 8K is a very under-rated camera.
Its close distance sharpness is the highest amount all the camera except the Labpano Pilot
One EE.
It makes sense as it is an 8K camera.
The dynamic range is also a lot better than all the cameras you just saw as it is in 10-bit.
So, if you do not own the Insta360 Pro 2 or Insta360 Titan, I still think the Qoocam 8K
or Qoocam 8K Enterprise is an excellent prosumer camera.
Lastly, we have my Labpano Pilot One EE - a Virtual Tour and Livestream camera.
This is a prosumer 8K camera - so the sharpness is the highest amount all the cameras you
just saw.
But Pilot One EE def do not have good dynamic range compared to all the other cameras, and
its has four stitch line you have to deal with - so, the great resolution does come
with great inconvenience.
That is why this is a Pro-sumer camera, not a consumer.
And it is way too heavy to carry around like the One X2.
But none the last, great camera for Virtual Tour and other professional usages like 360
livestream.
My official review of Pilot One EE is coming next so don't forget to subscribe to CreatorUp
for an in-depth technical review.
On the topic of Virtual Tour, how was the ONE X2 Pure Shot 360 photo compared to Richo
Theta Z1?
Here you go.
This is Pure Shot of One X2.
And this is Theta Z1 DNG RAW.
Comment below to let you know if you will use the One X2 for your professional Virtual
Tour production!
In the next video, we will go 1 step further to test PureShot in low light - which is where
it shines compared to Theta Z1.
We will see if One X2 can handle low light production compare to One R, Qoocam 8K and
GoPro MAX.
If you have not already, you should check out my 2D review of the ONE X2 - it is really
good!
There are a lot of One X2 testing is coming on CreatorUp.
So don't forget to subscribe if you have not already, and I will see you in my next VR
video.
Ciao!
