- Now take a look at that.
This is the Insta360 one R.
And when you first look at it you might be like,
"oh, it's another camera that's tryna be a GoPro."
But this is actually quite a bit more.
Now keep in mind that this is a prototype unit.
Doesn't have the final firmware.
So as of right now it's too early for me
to make a full on review of it.
That is coming once they tell me
go ahead with the final firmware.
But I can at least give you my first impressions of it
and show you guys what this thing can actually do.
Now as it sits right now,
it is actually a whole lot like a GoPro, you know?
You got your wide angle four K.
Says back here it's an F2.816.4 millimeter equivalence so
pretty nice and wide.
Footage is stabilized and they still haven't finalized
the colors on it yet so can't show you footage just yet.
But the enclosure is also familiar.
Prongs on the bottom so it can work with a lot of the
accessories that you might already have.
You get nice stabilized four K.
You have your four K60.
You have your slow motion frame rates and all that.
But who cares, right?
This is where it gets really exciting though.
So this right here on the bottom is the battery pack.
Comes off like this.
Now here's the cool part.
Ready for this?
Literally pops apart like a puzzle.
But first cool thing.
See that monitor and turn that around and then click.
So that is something that is exciting
for vloggers out there.
That same screen that we had on the rear
is not as big as the one you would see on a GoPro.
It's a little bit smaller, but it's also not bad.
I would consider it to be totally usable.
One of the things I really want to test out
is the audio quality out of this thing.
Again, still waiting for the final firmware for that.
But, another thing that they're promising
is the ability to hook it up to Bluetooth microphone.
So that opens up some doors there.
Like for example, my motorcycle helmet
has a microphone built in, so I can talk to other riders.
But can I also hook this up to this camera
and use it as a microphone.
If that ends up sounding good, it's a motovlogger's dream.
Also AirPods.
I honestly have no idea how the sound quality is gonna be
out of these, but if they're good then that's awesome.
These three pieces come apart so easily.
What's interesting is that when they're seeded together,
it's now waterproof up to five meters.
I was honestly a little bit skeptical.
I mean there's all these contact points.
Like really just by connecting it, it's gonna be waterproof.
That is something I did test.
I took it snorkeling with me.
I was in the water for solid 30 minutes or so.
No problem.
Now this is where things
really start to get kind of exciting.
Pop of this battery, pop off this lens and throw it away.
Don't actually.
We're gonna attach this, slap on the battery
and now we have ourselves a 360 camera.
An Insta360 has been in the game for a while,
with the Insta360 one X.
Really dominating the market, right?
And as far as I can tell, this is a great 360 camera
just like the one X was.
We've got 5.7 K at 30 frames per second.
We can go all the way up to a 100 frames per second
with three K, so slow mo features.
That's awesome.
And I like this rubber clamp.
This just kind of slides over the lenses and protects it,
cause 360 cameras, you know?
You put it down, it tips over whatever.
It's gonna scratch the lens cause they're so exposed.
But this seems like a good option.
Quick on, off.
But I do notice that sometimes it does
smudge the lens a little bit, you know.
Sometimes if you take it off you just wanna
give it a little pat down before you record.
Even with this configuration,
it still slides into the same case right there.
It adapts to the invisible selfie stick that
some of us may already have from the Insta360 one X.
And it does a great job just erasing out this stick so,
you know, that's always cool.
I wish I could show you guys more footage,
but they don't want any of the footage released
until they finalize the color.
So again, I will be doing a follow up to this video
with way more footage.
Now there's also these clear lens protectors that can snap
on to the case and these actually seem pretty high quality.
Which is great, especially if you're doing action.
You might just like bang up the lens at some point you know.
So I'm excited to see how this is gonna look,
cause the one from the GoPro mags,
if you remember my review on that.
They came with like kind of like these
clear plastic covers and they were real bad.
But just by looking at these,
I bet you these are gonna be fairly clean.
If you're not familiar with 360 cameras,
I'll throw out a link right there
to kinda give you a break down of what they do.
But aside from this 360 module and this standard wide angle,
there's another one that's really exciting coming out
and it's a one inch sensor with a Leica lens.
That is what I'm waiting for right there.
Image quality out of that thing is probably is gonna be
really freaking good.
A one inch sensor, the good lens on there.
Oh, I don't have one yet so I can't give you anymore
information than what you could find on Google right now.
But finally what's blowing my mind is that they have told me
that there is gonna be a module where you can take
this camera and stick it onto a drone, like a Mavic.
You're gonna take one lens, put it on top of the drone.
One lens, throw it down under.
So you're gonna get 360 footage
and it's gonna erase out the drone.
What?
So far I've only seen that one clip
that Insta360 posted on Instagram.
But, look at that.
I wanna do that.
So bad.
Hopefully in Thailand I will to get shots like this.
And speaking of Thailand.
By the time this video uploads on January 7th.
I should already be there.
And you bet your ass I'm bringing this with me.
Now, like I said multiple times.
I haven't fully been able to test it out,
cause it's all still prototype,
but I have some seriously high hopes for this camera.
They're not you know,
paying me to say this or anything like that.
I just, I'm excited.
I really hope they get this right
and they seem like they're on the right track so
as long as they kind of deliver everything
that they're promising right now.
This is gonna be the action camera to get.
GoPro's been in the throne for a long time.
Might be time for them to scoot over.
We'll see.
Anyways, shall we wrap this up.
Let's read a few comments.
Actually before I do that.
The Matt 222 sent me an Email little while back
and he said he was working on a deep fake of me, okay.
I'm a little bit scared, and he sent me now
a YouTube link.
Shall we watch this together.
- Face of yours is what the AI sees.
It tries to recreate your face and the more you train it
the more accurate it is.
- Wait a second, so Matt 222 is training AI
to put my face on the Up kid.
- Look at the size of my belly.
- Oh all right, you can come.
- Oh my God, what?
What is it?
Oh my God.
That looks so bizarre.
What am I looking at?
It looks like so beep up.
Like kind of like me.
AI is definitely taking over.
Elon Musk is right.
World is gonna get taken over by AI.
Look at this.
Looks like I'm not reading comments today.
I'm leaving them.
OMG.
So I guess Matt 222 has 333 subscribers.
I'm gonna get 334.
Anyways it is 11:42 p.m.
Flight to Thailand takes off early tomorrow morning so,
I should probably start packing.
Yip, gonna do that.
All right, see you guys later.
