this is five things that i love about the new insta360 one-inch 360 camera
hey if you don't know me my name is jake and i create content here to help solo creators
on the go so i test and review cameras drones lenses here at alaska and i give you tips and
tutorials on how to use them that's something interesting consider subscribing today i'm
telling you five things that i really like about the new 360 camera that has one inch sensors from
insta 360. now insta360 did send me this camera but they're not paying for this review they didn't
get any input into this video and they don't get to see this video before it's launched
i love the audio input the fact that i get good clean audio on this no matter what i'm doing or
what i'm doing because i can use a little wireless mic like the dji wireless system or the rode
wireless go makes this a fantastic camera for be able to get just shots that are weird random sort
of odd shots i've got to get going home because the uh i know it doesn't look late but this is
alaska it's the dead of summer like literally yesterday was the longest day of the year so that
sun is not gonna go down for a while and i have an early morning tomorrow to um go do some stuff so
see if i can remember how to get off this rock before the tide comes in
the number four thing i really like about this is the one inch sensors not only are
they substantially better in low light because obviously one inch sensor you get a lot better low
light as you can see here but i also like the fact that now we have full 6k up to 30 frames a second
recording on here which means anytime you do an export out you actually get much better quality
video coming out of this camera but they've also given us the ability to turn the sharpness down
i like turning the sharpness down to medium because anything higher than that
just looks a little too fake and a little too digital but the fact that we can now
turn the sharpness down and get full 6k recording in 360 is fantastic
the third thing i like about this camera and this whole system really is how easy insta360
makes it to control the camera either via the camera itself with the touchscreen which is
really great and responsive but also through the app on my phone connects really fast
and it basically gives you access and control to everything you need to over the camera and it
gives you a nice live live preview so you can see what's going on and get an idea of what's going on
in 360 degrees so you can also decide to reframe later in post but not only that you can watch the
footage you shoot back in your app and reframe it live as you're watching it which is really cool it
mimics your phone movement so you can look around and then export that video out and obviously share
it to social media or wherever you want to share but not only that you get better export quality
out of the studio app which gives you a lot of really powerful tools to export really
high quality exports out of the camera and out of the footage you shoot so as a general rule i
control the camera with the app and then i export everything out using the desktop app on the studio
the other thing i absolutely love about this camera is being able to capture behind the
scenes shots without worrying about framing anything i can literally just set this thing up
press record and capture everything around it so that as i'm in a location like this taking photos
doing video work or whatever i can capture great behind the scenes footage of what i'm doing and
then couple that with the audio in get good clean audio as i'm talking through the process of what
i'm doing or making a tutorial or whatever it is this camera has been absolutely fantastic for that
my absolute favorite thing about this camera is being able to capture
impossible shots take for example this
so
there is absolutely no way possible for me to mount a camera that far out normally and capture
a shot looking back at the entire helicopter and show the entire thing in the shot so being able
to capture impossible shots with a 360 camera and then reframe and show later in post however
i want to show it makes this thing an absolutely fantastic tool if you're doing things like this
now there is no perfect camera but there is there really is only one thing that i don't
like about this camera and that's the fact that it's not waterproof
insta360 says that it is splash proof or moisture resistant you have to make sure the side door is
on so you can't do audio input and stuff like that but it's definitely not waterproof like the
one x2 is and that might be a deal breaker for some of you occasionally it would be for me so
far though this camera has been great fantastic to work with the 360 has made a big upgrade with
this camera putting in two one-inch sensors not only did we get the resolution increase
you get a massive increase in performance in low light but just overall the quality of the
footage and the quality of the the video coming out of this camera has improved significantly
yes there's issues like every 360 camera you can have stitch lines if you're too close
and there's you know some other small issues here or there but overall i've really enjoyed
using this camera and it has been a great tool for capturing behind the scenes stuff
impossible shots with any other camera and i mean when you have places like this to shoot
why would you not want to use every tool in your box you can possibly use in order to capture great
footage and if you want to see how other action cameras stack up to each other or other action
cameras that i've reviewed click or tap right there i'll see in one of those videos as always
if you have questions ask me in the comments below or join my live stream which happens
wednesday nights at 4 pm alaska time 8 pm eastern i'll see you again soon in the next video cheers
