[@Everyonehasanopinion]

I love the fact that you’re not hyping things; rather unlike other reviewers you actually try to help the viewer make an informed decision. Thank you so very much for that.

[@BenClaremont]

My pleasure Bill!

[@dryicejayr]

i’m about to buy because of the hype.

[@heiser_bill]

Yes, agreed.

[@kolis_]

@@BenClaremont is there also an updated tripod video For this camera?

[@ItsDribbley]

@@BenClaremont great review mate, super helpful! Just wondering though, @5:23 does the x2 offer loop recording?

[@markymarkreviews]

Great preview. Am waiting for your full/comparison video. Disappointed that there is no slight resolution bump with the X3 but may be that will be next year! This is probably the best 360 for "most" people as cheaper, small, compact and weatherproof and the stitching at the seam line looks great.

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

Agreed Ben - the new 2.29 inch touchscreen is a HUGE improvement as is the clearer audio and the bigger camera sensor is helpful. Many thanks for your balanced review!

[@Ellexis]

I think we are spoiled. I remember the days when all I had was a Polaroid and a Kodak 110 camera and had to take the film to the store to have it developed. I'm definitely loving the Insta360 X3 and it's replacing my FLY360 camera for my flying videos in my Beechcraft Bonanza.

[@buckkeiser8150]

Same here. I don’t just feel like a dinosaur, more like a trilobite

[@digiklump]

Ben outstanding video. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you clarity in reviewing the camera. So many reviews are out of touch but I like the Pro's and Con's version you provide. Keep up the great work.

[@skorskisebastian]

I was not disappointed as always. Your 360 camera reviews are the best on the web. Thank you for wanting to show people the possibilities and differences and not push manufacturer marketing only for money.

[@BenClaremont]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@stevenamani7295]

Thank you! So refreshing to see honest commentary about this camera.

[@EricWongs]

yeah totally agree on the weird release strategy. i bought the 1inch and now there's the X3, considerable difference in the usability & form factor. all in all im still excited to see the X3 and how they really focus on the usability and similarity to how you might navigate a phone. i still wish they had an integrated selfie stick like the mi sphere -- without a wire dangling out on the side.

[@KayakDIY]

Really hope they fix the motion blur issue. However, think I’m still going to get the X3. I like the 1inch, but I like the usability and user interface of X3. I think the ease of use and sleek menu will allow me to be more creative.

[@mattt7946]

Awesome, Ben!! I have the One R and was about to pull the trigger on the One RS 1 in 360. I look forward to the comparison video. Thank you for the great content.

[@sracetosa15]

Thanks for the review, Ben! I recently bought the One RS 4k edition with a plan of buying the 1-inch 360 mode later. I hope you will have a comparison video between the X3 and the RS 1-inch 360.

[@AldenPez]

Thanks for the info. i was glad to hear someone talk about the audio! I’ll be getting one soon

[@paulreibelphotography]

Thanks for the review Ben. Was waiting for your input before pulling the trigger or not. Firmly sitting on the fence still. Now to wait for your comparison to the 1inch. Cheers

[@thevideoark]

As always thanks very much for a very honest helpful and informative review. I’m going to have to watch it several times though, as I was getting distracted with seeing Melbourne. Another great playground for your photography. Regards from the UK.

[@henryluebberstedt7819]

Ben, I've seen many X3-reviews in the last hours. Your's is one of the best because it is so honest with all the pros and cons. I keep my X2...

[@lexanderal]

Love your work, thanks Ben

[@dahveed284]

Thanks for the honest review. It’s gonna be really hard for a 1/2” sensor to compete with a 1” sensor. No amount of digital magic will outshine a quality lens and a larger sensor. So if picture quality is critical, get the bigger sensor.

[@davidblack2632]

Great summary video. I have the original 1X and just a month ago got the RS1 1" Edition. I love it. The 1" Edition is not a real action camera but does what I need really well. If I needed on the X3 would be it.

[@thats-rich]

Thanks for the informative video. Bring on the comparisons!

[@montreum2006]

Thanks Ben…definitely waiting on the review comparison between X3 vs 1-inch

[@PunjabiCyclist]

Thanks Ben as always very useful videos and I like your honesty - recently bought the ONE X2 on prime day based on one of your videos comparing the ONE RS vs ONE X2 as I already have a GoPro Hero 8.

[@thebrownknowser]

As always, thanks for your take on the One X3. I own the original One X and a One R, and I've been wondering when is the right time to update my One X. I might wait until Christmas to see if something else comes out but it looks like it might be time to upgrade my old workhorse for something with a better design and doesn't need a case to go underwater. Cheers!

[@stewartongks]

Love your video as always. Look forward to your upcoming comparison with One X2, to see if I really have to upgrade. Thanks for sharing.

[@besttourinrio9]

You are the best reviewing those 360 cameras! Thank you Ben!

[@oswalddesign]

Great overview! The large screen, over everything else, is a game changer when comparing to the ONErs model. I wondered if it can take on the Theta-X for image quality. One feature I wish they would add is the 360 image using two single-sided shots - so the photographer doesn't have to hide or leave the room. Theta-Z1 has this feature - best feature for shooting in large open spaces.

[@stevegarratt7806]

I'm sure you can change it to 180 mode and take a shot then flip it to the other side and take the second shot? Not a automatic as the theta but could work, would still have to stitch the photos together mind

[@phila3884]

Ben, thanks for the work you put into this comparo! In the still photos, I see the 1-inch coming out on top. I have the Insta360 1-inch and the Theta Z1. Night sky timelapses is my primary use. Looking forward top seeing what the 1-inch is capable of.

[@kacakest]

Great review! I'm travelling to Melbourne this coming Wednesday and hopefully can catch up with you or shooting 360 to the places inside your review video.

[@wplg]

Very informative. Thx!

[@tommydaynjer5334]

This is a great video! I’ve never owned a 360 camera and the features and improvements are minor for sure, but significant enough to cover the bases of why I never left GoPro. This X3 looks like it ticks all the boxes so I’m IN!

[@phillipturner9145]

Thank you for another great video. Your honest opinions are extremely valuable and I appreciate your healthy dose of reality when discussing all the different models and their abilities. THANKS!!!!

[@eorstail1]

Kudos! Clear & concise yet enough detail to make an informed choice. Appreciate your honest opinions. I'm a noob to 360 but not cameras. Now subscribed!

[@BenClaremont]

My pleasure 😇

[@meb4video]

Thanks Ben, love your unbiased approach. Your videos convinced me to buy the one r when it came out. I replaced the 360 lens recently(scuffed the old one). So figure I'll wait on the next camera.

[@360SiteVisitcom]

Thanks, Ben for your review. I am interested in seeing this against the Z1 in 360 Pano shots. Thanks, you rock!

[@RonaldBrown59]

I love that large screen on the X3. The small screens on the Insta360 cameras have always been a bit of a con, so this is a nice upgrade. Great overview Ben. And while this looks great, I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading over the X2. Thanks for sharing Ben.

[@HowDidIGet3700Subs]

Small screen - you complain it’s too small. Big screen you complain camera is too big. Can’t win.

[@int_pro]

THANK YOU for the one very honest review!! THANK YOU!!!! So many other reviews seemed to over hype the X3 even while the hype didn't seem to align with what our eyes were telling us. You called this bs out and it's SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!

[@mariannypineda3224]

This is such a great review. I was quite decided to get the X2 as it's cheaper and I just wanted a waterproof camera for me to use but after watching this, I will now definitely get the X3. Thank you. I also subscribed immediately.

[@gbaglondon]

Hi Ben. Thanks for your quality take and honesty. I like what you said about their release strategy. It would be a lot nicer to know a line up within a small time frame, and the differences to make a better informed decision.

[@BenClaremont]

100%

[@gavingrierson1883]

As always great video Ben, you make it so much easier for users to make an informed decision on these cameras. I think Insta should consider using you guys on a consultancy basis to assist with their marketing strategies, concept & design and what the users are really after and most important to them as I think they're just releasing cameras every 6 months without putting much thought into it. If they spend a little more time in getting the perfect 360 camera and utilizing all the latest technology with your input their sales good increase threefold.

[@BenClaremont]

Cheers Gavin, yeah that would be a good idea!

[@neillroberts4019]

Thanks for your honesty. I appreciate it. I’ll take my time in deciding whether I’ll add this to my travel or not.

[@Seeitmove]

Thank you, Ben!

[@vjohnnyb]

Thanks for this Ben, I’ve ordered an X3 on the basis of your videos and can’t wait to get started on it. I saw you did a video on getting 360 vids onto the Meta Quest 2, would be really interested to see you speak some more about watching the vids in VR in general, maybe a comparison of headsets? I’ve got the PSVR and it’s a bit fiddly getting the vids on there, but the experience is amazing (even though some way from perfect in terms of resolution etc, might just be my old Insta360 ONE camera). I’ve been recording 360 vids at family occasions and holidays for a number of years, and watching them on a VR headset is like going in a time machine! Really enjoying your content, keep up the good work.

[@BenClaremont]

Will make some more VR videos for sure!

[@Undead2k]

Great video and comparison shots. I've a question though, do you know how resistant the x3 lens and touch screen are to scratches? I've been put off upgrading for a while now as I noticed a lack of protective cases or any way to replace the lens. Had it happen to me that I scratch one of the lens of my Insta360 Evo 🥲

[@DigitalGenki]

Thank you so much for another great, straight to the point video. 😁

[@JonnyVmagic]

An actual helpful review, thanks!

[@The_Daliban]

Thanks for mentioning the problem with social media marketing. I saw footage of the x3 and thought. That looks like my on rs and i‘m not gonna buy a new 360 camera for a bigger screen. It is so confusing and misleading. I really appreciate a balanced review. Thank you🙏🏻

[@inknpaintCW]

Good, objective review. Thanks Ben. Waterproof is the only feature (aside from the obvious big touchscreen) that would interest me if I had not just bought the 1 inch...

[@SonofaFink]

Thanks For The Brutal Honesty, It Helps A Ton!

No questions, just thankful for your videos, especially how honest they are! I like watching others' reviews on the X3 but they all talk about the pros and nothing about the cons. Seems slightly disingenuous.

[@MACH_SDQ]

Thanks for the info, very useful !!!!

[@godfreygoodson6215]

Agree, no need to FOMO on this one, I'm guessing their strategy is to cater to the first-time buyers on latest and greatest releases to keep purchasing peaked vs the competition. I am a little glad over the unsurpassing of the Z1 as I am rocking that for stills and the X2 for video, nevertheless glad to see this iteration as I fence-sit a bit before getting the next Theta-Insta360 combo in the next year or so.

[@chooseboost]

I’m with you Ben. I bought the x2 less than 2 months ago after watching your reviews on the 1” and the rs. Keen to see more ways to use these cameras like the one you mentioned at the end of this video. Great reviews Ben.

Good stuff. I’m on the one r, so I can justify the upgrade but that’s a good point about them releasing 3 cameras back to back to back. Maybe I’ll wait 2 months to see if another one comes out 😂

By far the best reviewer when it comes to 360 camera. Appreciate your work. I have the x2 a few z1 and the go 2. I still use my z1's for all my 360 tours but my x2 is my daily camera. I take it everywhere. Was excited to hear about the x3 but clearly not worth the upgrade. All good, still like my x2 and will wait patiently for the x4 or x5.

Thanks Kyle, yep that sounds like the right call!

[@C5drummer]

Nothing like brutal honesty! Massive thumbs up, Ben!

[@hungtruong87]

Thank you for the honest update 👍

[@URFotografie]

The larger display was the decisive argument for me to switch from the X2 to the X3. I do not expect a very big increase in quality. It will probably come down to the fact that the 1 inch will also have to be purchased if I want to deliver quality. For small video tours or for vacation, the X3 is good enough in my opinion and has the huge advantage that it is waterproof.

[@erwtokritosgialos8133]

Hey there , if i may ask you. Im planning to by x2 or x3 in the near future because i am in need for a good 360 camera , I need your opinion as someone who has the x2. X2 claims that is waterproof for 10m (33ft) . I have done some research on it and i find a looooot of people who tried the camera underwater and it stop working, some others say that it is a marketing scam and its not waterproof. What do you say ? And how do we know for sure that x3 is legit waterproof? i have searched for videos and proofs but i cant find any yet. Ty for your time

[@nathantolman985]

@@erwtokritosgialos8133 I have taken my X2 1-3 feet underwater for brief stretches (5 minutes or so) without any issues. It has also held up very well in rain for 5+ hours at a time. I have also noted that it's pretty rugged -- I take it rock climbing and canyoneering, which means it sometimes gets swung into rocks, and it hasn't had any problems so far (thought, of course, I have to replace the lens guards after every trip, because they get scratched up very easily).

[@MC-ny7iw]

I am amazed by the coverage/promotion. This 360-degree camera has gotten. MKBHD and almost every KZbinr with more than 1000 followers have reviewed this camera. I bought into the hype myself. What no one tells you: The battery lasts no even 1h, more like 45min in almost every type of recording. Also, when night falls, this camera is absolutely useless. Even at dusk or dawn, this camera could be of some use, it is not. Also, with editing, KZbinrs make it sound seamless. Well, it is not…it requires some editing knowledge, and a relatively powerful computer, as files are humongous. About editing on iPhone, it provides the lowest resolution possible if done on the phone. Have you heard any of those reviewing this camera talking about those issues? Low light performance, battery not lasting more than 45min!. This makes me think all KZbinrs are paid to review this camera positively, to probably no one's surprise… I am returning mine. Camera is excellent, BUt I will buy a later version of a more mature product; having to have 3 batteries charged before starting any shooting makes me uncomfortable, especially if you lets say mount your camera on your helmet or on top of your car, you don't know when this one stops recording when batery is too low, it will be nice to get some alert on the phone. Otherwise, you have to stop every 30 minutes to check on the camera and replace the battery when it dies. If you missed some important place because it ran out of battery, you are out of luck...

[@che-tatanka]

2 weeks ago, after a long time thinking about which is the best camera for me, I bought the Insta360 one X2. I didn't like some things like sound and the display. I'm all the more upset that there's a new one on the market now and nobody knew about it. I will exchange it for the Insta360 X3, there is also loop recording and dashcam mode, which was very important to me and the Insta360 one X2 does not have that. It's also probably better for virtual tours, I'm not doing that yet, but I plan to. So I hope the new one coming soon and I get the x2 refunded.

[@pictainment]

Perfect, that's what i was looking for. Thanks

Thanks for your clear and honest description, I will wait the video with the full comparison I am very curious to see the real final result. I think that the best one at the moment is the 1 inch

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

Exactly what I was thinking to post, word by word.🤩

[@LaithGraham]

I got my One X2 at the end of 2019 in preparation for a couple of trips to Japan in 2020. So I really haven't gotten full use out of it just yet so I don't think I'll be upgrading this time around. I really hope Loop recording will be brought to the X2 because my GoPro Hero3 is getting a little old for a dash cam too.

Glad to hear an unbiased view abt this... good work..!!!

[@truthseeker6804]

Now THIS is a good review. This made me not wanna rush to the store and pick up the thing, instead it made me wanna sit down and think about it hard

[@wvansluisveld3011]

This video is spot on. I just got the One RS a couple of weeks ago (ok I can't complain, it was a replacement I bought with a refund after my One R broke down within warranty) but would probably have gotten this one if I knew it was coming. It is no surprise that this is still 5.7K. First of all it would be better than the One inch that is much more expensive and just release. Secondly they have no competion that gets close, so why would they? Last but not least, I think the processor is the bottleneck. Better performance with lower heat production requires less nanometers for the transistors, which requires time.

[@44magnum84]

Great review, thank a lot!

[@kevinroberts9287]

Brilliant advice, as always

[@DavidLGood]

The stitch lines, even for objects in the distance, is kind of a deal-breaker for me. Thanks for the video -- excellent information, as you always deliver. Much appreciated! Also -- megapixels, or even overall resolution for that matter, aren't the best indication of quality. Look at the video world -- a BlackMagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera (the original) maxed out at 1920x1080, but the quality of the footage was so good that you could upscale to 4k and get a better image than most of the native 4k cameras out there. More pixels just means more pixels -- it doesn't guarantee that the images collected by the pixels are any good. With smaller sensors they have to pack those pixels in so tightly that you often get artifacts that are displeasing and have to be corrected via internal camera processing. I've seen larger sensors with FEWER pixels create outstanding images -- blowing everything else out of the water -- because the pixels had more space and dealt with available light better and required less processing in order to look good. As you've shown, "more MP" isn't always "more better".

Finally someone to show you how the new X3 records video at night! However it would have been nice if you had left us the download of a 360 photograph taken with the X3.

[@Jimsbo]

Thanks for posting this. I was hoping to get your insight as soon as I heard about this. I have to admit I was really frustrated when I went to see what this “magic” announcement was yesterday. Just five days after I laid out money for an One X2 (which was already a risky move), now there’s a brand new improved successor I had no way of knowing about as I took the plunge. My timing is nearly always terrible... I’ve been really enjoying the one X2, but the extra $20 wouldn’t have been a problem if I only knew to wait just a few days. I’m now wondering about looking into getting a refund then getting an X3, but I also had just ordered the lens cap and an extra battery, which would be rendered useless if I did. I’ve even considered just doubling down and getting an X3 in addition, which is possible, but a nearly insane move with my current money situation (living off a dwindling pension from my 25 year job that COVID snuffed out). I was a little encouraged hearing you say you took a gamble with getting your first 360 camera with what little you had at the time, but I’m not sure what path there might be for me to keep myself afloat as a middle aged hobbyist with no contacts. I’ve been gearing up to get my KZbin presence back on track with videos using that use my music, and animations done with After Effects and Blender, but can I really generate enough money from that to do more than hit up the McDonalds drive thru? But hey, I don’t mean to prattle on about my hardships. If I could figure out a path to make a living with two very similar less-than-professional cameras, maybe I could steer away from the cliff I’ll be falling off by early next year. Sorry to dump a massive monologue in your comments section, but I appreciate your own sharing of your background and find your work very well done and inspirational. You’re one of the only Insta360 users on KZbin who isn’t mostly riding around on one wheel skateboards or motocross bikes. You’ve got the artistic eye and I hope it’s paying off for you.

I know where you are Jimsbo... Have you tried driving for Uber? Not a great return but some income.

[@thetapeworm]

I ignored all the other "hype" videos and waited for this one, as always I'm glad I did. I'm a bit out of the loop with cameras these days as I jumped from MiSphere to a DSLR some time ago but keep thinking about a new "all in one" like this - my question (to Ben or anyone reading this) is, with so much focus on featuring the user in some of the modes have we got to a point where the opposite is easier and you can film while removing, or at least hiding, the person holding the camera without having to do it in post?

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks! In 360 mode this is not an easy feat, as it’s a lot of work to remove a moving person. Best to just set it up and hide as best you can 👍🏻

Okay, bye, I'm off ordering the X3 now

[@Flabig360]

Thanks for this review. The best in my eyes! I was wondering why other reviewers mentioned 72MPx photos only in a sentence. I remember that it was that big thing for the Theta X. Seems like the quality didn't hit the expectations. Sad, I was looking for a camera with higher photo resolution. Maybe you could make a comparison X3 vs Theta X?

Will do my best! Unfortunately sensor size has a much bigger influence over clarity than MP.. hence why the results are all pretty similar.

they released all of these right before the holidays...not the best marketing but keeping their name out there with new cameras right before the holiday season has to be the motivation

[@robertkapkaplinger5596]

also notice on their site the X2 has not dropped in price significantly after this release... which I find odd.

Great video Ben, I was hoping that the 72mp images would have made a significant difference for virtual tours. Would you still recommend the 1-inch over the x3 for virtual tours?

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

But he said, 1 inch best in terms of quality, sharpness...will waiting his compassion side by side.

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

The 1 inch is better for virtual tours due to bigger sensor and sharpness. Hugh Hou mentioned that in his very thorough comparision video.

Will make a comparison video soon- stay tuned 👍🏻

Thank you Ben for reviewing the low light shooting cability. i shoot in low light quite often so this helps alot :)

[@BenClaremont]

No worries! It’s decent enough but the 1-inch camera will be better 👍🏻

Thanks for your honest review. I still have the One X and didn't upgrade to the One X2. But now I really consider to buy the X3.
