- Insta360, they've been making some waves
in the VR camera world by creating these
little cameras that fit on your phone.
Very easy to use, literally just taking VR,
which, very complicated camera technology,
and putting it into something very simple like your phone.
Currently have the Insta360 One
which is just under $300, and a step above that
would be kinda like the GoPro Fusion
at about $700 right now.
But today they are releasing the Insta360 One X.
Check that out. Upgrade to the Insta360 One camera.
It should be coming in at around $399,
so it is not as expensive as the GoPro Fusion.
The GoPro Fusion comes in at 5.2K, this one comes in at 5.7K
and this has their FlowState image stabilization,
which means you can kinda do all this stuff
and it should generally still come out fairly smooth.
Slow motion, bullet time, this one's an interesting feature.
So there's this bullet time handle,
and then you kinda just throw this camera
on the tip of it and it extends out.
It's supposed to give us a cool effect like that.
I'm so impressed that I didn't
actually hit everything in my room just now.
This bullet time handle not only gives you
a cool little effect that we're gonna go
experiment with in a second,
but it can also be used as a baton.
So you know, double whammy.
Tu tu tah tu
This thing's dangerous, dude. This thing's a weapon.
Yeah!
By the way, do you guys want this cool, brand new VR camera?
Well, let me test it, beat it up, possibly break it,
and then I'll give it to one of you guys.
So stay tuned 'til the end.
There's two things you could do with a VR camera.
So you could record this and upload it as a 360 degree clip,
so if you are watching on YouTube, Facebook, or your phone,
and you could actually look around and see an environment.
Or if you are putting on VR goggles.
But it's kind of hard to share 360 degree video,
and sometimes people get annoyed that they have
to actually scroll around to look around.
A lot of times you want to just direct the viewers
at what you want them to look at.
So, let's say you're gonna do
an awesome little parkour session.
Then you could take this, record.
You could literally run around the camera
and then reframe the shot afterwards.
Parkour!
Ha!
Are you guys impressed?
Please move, you're stealing my spotlight.
So this is a fisheye lens that was sent to me.
It's a 7.5mm f/2.8 prime lens,
and this is supposed to fit right here on this Canon M50.
And this might give us a similar effect.
Let's try it out.
Whoa, that is wide.
This is a 7.5mm fisheye lens,
and I'm literally really close to this lens right here.
Should I do a whole vlog like this?
Just right up in my face?
Even with this crazy fisheye lens,
I can only zoom out so far.
But on the VR camera, you know you can have
a regular frame like this,
but you can zoom out,
and you can just keep zooming out
until I look like a little tiny person on a little planet.
Whoa!
I don't look like an idiot at all!
Come on, guys. Let's get in the video.
Okay, now, do something cool.
Look, Dylan smacked himself so hard he bent his bullet time.
Okay, so, this doesn't really work that well as a baton.
See that bend right there?
See if we can bend it back.
Back to perfect.
Hopefully you've got a pretty awesome
bullet time effect out of that.
Now, technically, this has more resolution
than the GoPro Fusion.
But the GoPro Fusion looks pretty good.
So, let's set up these cameras side by side for a second,
and see how they look, actually.
Now, let's say we want to use this as a vlogging camera.
It is awesome because it's very small, lightweight,
easy to take around, and easy to use.
And, then, of course, you can go
and reframe all your shots afterwards.
My big issue with it is the sound.
It's just not that good compared to the GoPro Fusion.
So, I think it's going to be much cleaner
if you record audio separately.
Maybe from a lavalier,
or even the GoPro Fusion has quite a bit better audios.
Alright, so we're taking these staircases
because the elevator is broken.
So we're going down 30 flights of stairs.
Pretty dark area, so I'll be curious
to see how grainy both cameras are.
I haven't really seen the footage yet,
so you guys know better than I do right now
which one looks better, but, here's how they look.
And, we're going to enter the sun.
And, now we are in the sun.
Check this out.
So, I can literally preview the footage
I literally just shot.
I'm gonna download the portion
of the clip I want to use onto my phone.
Then I'm gonna edit it and pick out the part
of the shot I wanna use.
And then I can just upload it onto YouTube, or Instagram,
Facebook, whatever, just straight from my phone.
So, that's awesome.
Now, there's a couple different ways to frame up your shot,
but my favorite is easy, viewfinder.
Now, viewfinder's awesome,
because I literally just move my phone
the way I would if this were a camera.
So, it's very intuitive.
So, literally, here.
I'm gonna go and just get a little sequence here.
So here we go.
I'm gonna zoom out.
Look at that, you get a little, little planet effect.
Kinda zoom in, you can zoom in closer.
Right, and you can zoom out, look forward,
look back at me, zoom in.
And it's easy! How awesome is that?
Alright, so what did we learn about this camera?
I think it's a really awesome camera,
and I think it sits in a nice middle ground
of having a decent amount of resolution,
and quality, and functions.
And still being underneath the price point
of the GoPro Fusion.
You guys saw the footage,
so you guys form your own opinions,
but my biggest issues with it was kinda
the audio quality out of it.
And, also, I just didn't think
that the image was as clean as the GoPro,
even though it technically has higher resolution.
As a high end, consumer VR camera,
I mean, this little guy is awesome.
It's very simple to use, but it's tiny.
And it's very capable, with lots of features, so
considering how sophisticated this little, tiny device is,
and what you can get out of this, mind blowing shots?
I think this is awesome.
Oh, by the way, I didn't break this. Hooray!
So, I'm gonna pack this back up
and send it out to one of you guys.
So, to win just drop a comment,
and I'll send it to one of you guys.
And, by the way, if you guys are interested
in picking up one of these,
and you're not the lucky winner,
then I'm gonna put a link to this, the GoPro Fusion,
and this super fisheye lens for the Canon M50
in the description in case you guys want to pick one up.
So, yeah. That's pretty much it.
Overall, thumbs up on this thing.
Lots of really cool technology built into this thing.
Mind blowing shots.
Very simple to use, and not too expensive, so...
But, anyways, a lot of you guys have been asking
for a RED versus Arri video, coming out tomorrow.
It's actually super long,
so I'm just trying to edit it right now.
It's over 25 minutes.
That's dropping tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that,
and let's wrap this up with the usual reading of comments.
Let's look at the last video I posted,
and let's go look at the top comment.
What could it be?
You look like that kid from the movie, Up.
Guys, can we please have another top comment?
This has literally been the top comment
for the last four videos in a row.
Gimme something new, please.
Oh, video's not 10 minutes yet, let's talk about my lips.
(laughs) Good strategy, right?
How long's this video, by the way?
Not 10 minutes yet. Here, hold on.
A lot of you guys are actually giving me good advice.
So, I've been going out and getting
some of the stuff you guys have been recommending.
For example, Seb Hazel said,
Okay I'm pretty sure I heard some doctor
or science person on a podcast say
that manufacturers put stuff in lip balm
that dries your lips out so that
you have to keep using it and buy more,
and apparently the only one who isn't like that
is pure 100% Vaseline.
That actually makes sense,
'cause until I was 25 or 26,
I never, ever even touched chapstick,
and I think the first time I ever put it on,
I was like, my lips are a little bit dry,
so let me just do it real quick,
and then, now, over the last few years,
I have to have it.
So, thanks for the suggestion, Seb Hazel.
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right.
So, I'm gonna just start using Vaseline, for,
instead of Chapstick, and hopefully,
eventually, it gets to the point where I don't need it.
Only use Vaseline, not fake store brand version.
The real thing. Done.
This video quickly turned from an awesome tutorial,
high quality montages into an awkward vlog.
(laughs) So is this video!
I love Potato Jet.
I love me, too.
Either all of us Asians look alike,
or the other day I was rewatching NBC's Community
and I saw you as an extra
on the season one finale at the end.
Yes, actually, that was me.
I actually saved this episode,
'cause I was kinda proud of it.
Check it out.
There's your boy on the left!
That used to be my glory days.
Wow, I was a lot skinnier then.
Dam, Pepe Agullar, can I help you?
I'll work for free, I just wanna be there.
That was just a few days ago.
Pepe Agullar is actually a massive Latin musician,
and super cool to work with.
Whole behind-the-scenes video coming out soon,
as soon as we get the video done,
and we'll probably launch it at the same time.
So, keep an eye out for that.
He always says they send this to me for free.
But the funny thing is, your links are always referrals.
It's not completely free
because you're making money out of it.
And, yeah, actually, that's very true,
and I wanna address this real quick.
If you go into my description and click on one of my links,
and then go through with it, and then make a purchase,
I'll get a small kickback outta that.
But here's the thing, I never put in the referral link
unless it's the best deal you can possibly get.
So, for example, in this video,
it was the Rhino Slider referral link,
and they were letting me get people a 10% off coupon code,
so, it's the best.
I compared it to Amazon prices,
and all the other options that you can buy it at,
and buying it through the website with my coupon code,
my referral link, was the cheapest way to buy it.
And that's the only reason, and only time,
when I would put a referral link in the description.
And a lot of times, the best option
and deals come from Amazon.
So, I'll go through Amazon, find the best value deal,
and then just put a affiliate link to that,
which doesn't cost you guys any extra.
It's basically just giving me a kickback.
Because I'm awesome!
Just watching your channel again
since S9 vs ARRI Alexa.
My question is, where is the girl in that video right now?
Aha, good question. Kristina Ho.
She's actually over in New Zealand filming
'cause she got booked as a character
in the new Power Rangers.
And that's a big deal, go congratulate her,
because it is not easy out here for an actor.
It's one of the hardest jobs to land,
and when you book a role like that,
and get to go to New Zealand,
and stay there for eight months to film a show,
I mean, that's awesome.
Okay, I think we've got enough chit-chat.
I better start editing tomorrow's video,
the RED versus Arri, so see you guys later.
