I have the Ricoh theta S in my left hand and the Insta 360 Nano in my
right hand attached to my iPhone just thought it would be interesting to see
what the difference is, how they both produce tiny planets how they both
produce virtual reality video and compare them side-by-side. I definitely
do love both cameras and I think there's a time and a place for each of them I
think that different level of camera the insta 360 nano is the cheaper option it
attaches to your phone it's a bit smaller and lighter however with the
phone attached it's bulkier you can shoot without your phone attached but it
can be hard to get an idea of what's going on and what your settings are the
Ricoh theta attaches to your smartphone wirelessly so it's good being able to
control it wirelessly I found the video from both has produced a pretty similar
result tiny planets look similar. VR looks similar
Look
at those palm trees. The Nano is clearly clearer than the Ricoh theta.
With photos I've noticed a significant difference I think the
Ricoh has slightly well not slightly more than slightly better resolution I
mean with all cameras in general usually the more you pay the more features you
will get the better they'll perform the higher the resolution will be and the
more capabilities they'll have so I think that two incredible cameras of
each of their price brackets I think they're probably the best the Ricoh, the
moment retails for about 500 Australian I think that's about 350 400 u.s.
Insta 360 nano is about
300 so I guess it really just depends on how seriously you want to take 360 if
you know it's something you want to do for a long time you'd want to invest
more into bigger more expensive cameras like the Ricoh I've got myself a kodak
pixpro which is fantastic it's the next level up and I use it for next level
shoots like I don't keep it in my pocket all the time and whip it out at a
moment's notice when I'm on a bus or traveling or whatever I'll take it out
when I've got time to set it up on a tripod
like set up the rig onto the selfie stick it does take about five to ten
minutes to set up that camera and the results are worthwhile so it just
ultimately depends on how seriously you want to take 360 and tiny planets and
then you can experiment accordingly you can buy a cheaper camera and if you
decide you like it you can buy a more expensive one I think it's just common
sense to go with the more well-known brands they're well known for a reason
because they're consistently getting good reviews and they're selling
hundreds of thousands of units so that's a really good testimonial for each
camera so cameras like the Ricoh, like the insta 360 are doing quite well at the
moment so you can kind of trust that they're going to work a bit better like
there's a lot of newer ones coming out that are still kind of unproven or
whether developers have taken a really long time to develop their cameras and
now they finally release them they're at the quality of 360 cameras from like a
year ago so they don't really stand out in their own right I'm not really upping
their resolution like the manual capabilities and all that stuff so in
summary I would say if you're more of a photographer go for the Ricoh if you like
shooting video and VR at this price bracket the insta 360 nano would probably deliver a better
result so I hope you guys enjoyed this little walk around Cairns Queensland
