Sublime review

[@0LoneTech]

Can any of them record 2.5h continuously? I know several Insta360s do not.

[@ChrisChris-jh7uy]

How's everything going? I want a camera specifically for virtual tours for properties. Ones that also create hotspots that you can click on to go into other rooms. Zoom in and out of panels of interest. Which of these can I use to do this with and can I use Premiere Pro to edit?

The fact that the z1 still holds up to this day is a statement of japan's love of quality products

[@secondmindfilms7962]

The biggest complaint I have with the Z1 is the fringing and chromatic aberration. The X does far better in this category, but you do lose a liiiiiittle bit of quality in low light because of the half inch sensor vs the 1 inch on the Z1. But yes, Japan quality all the way.

[@RedwoodGeorge]

I bought an Insta360 One RS 1-Inch six months ago in preparation for a vacation. In testing before I left, the CPU module would overheat and crash after eight to ten minutes of use. Insta360 support was so obstructive that time ran out before the trip, so I bought an Insta360 X3 for the trip, eating the cost of the RS 1-Inch. The X3 was a champ; dependable and would run until the battery was exhausted. On return from the trip, after more weeks of back-and-forth with Insta360 support, they finally issued an RMA. They replaced the CPU module within a week with the note "yes, this was definitely defective" Even now that it was working correctly, the unit would still overheat but it took 15-20 minutes rather than eight to ten. And when it shut down, it shut down gracefully with an "overheat" message rather than just blanking out, saving the file in the process. As it turns out the RS 1-Inch would never have been a candidate for the task, which required recording for 30 or more minutes at a time. The X3, on the other hand, had absolutely no issue with the same job.

[@DigitizedLife]

Who records 30 minute per clip vacation videos?

[@RedwoodGeorge]

​@@DigitizedLife I recorded 30 miles of Street View video on an island in Fiji. It was about 90 minutes of recording time in total, divided into ten minute segments in case the camera overheated (which it never did)

[@DavidDrivesElectric]

@@DigitizedLife I do. I use it for BTS footage when I work and want video of it. I set it up and just let it run. I pick what I want later

[@DavidDrivesElectric]

That's odd. I have the RS 1 and while it does overheat sometimes, it depends on the ambient temperature. In normal temperature I can easily shoot 30 min

[@BenClaremont]

Hey- to add to this, were you using a fast SD card? As that’s usually the #1 cause of the 1-inch overheating, when people buy cheap/slow SD cards.

[@constructacon]

I have the Insta360 One RS and I love it, there's no issue with any overheat and i can swap batteries anytime i wanted. If i don't need a 360 i can use the 4k lens. it's tough too and waterproof, i know you don't recommend but my One RS is still going strong and does a clean footage.

[@Mike0193Azul]

Really hope to see more 1 inch 360 cams. With large screens and minimum 8k resolution

My X2 still fine for what I want, still a brilliant camera but would love the X3 screen😉

Привет. Спасибо за обзор и сравнение, но имхо не хватает нескольких деталей для полного сравнения. Я бы добавил в это видео: - время на включение, время на снимок, время на сшивание снимков 360, время на копирование на компьютер - время продолжительности 1 батареи до полного отключения устройства в количествах снимков или минут видео - сравнение вариантов разрешения снимка, веса (мб, гб) снимка, максимальные возможности камеры и оптимальное качество - объём внутренней памяти устройства, варианты добавляемой памяти - наличие программного обеспечения и их возможности. Спасибо за просмотр.

[@timeintheoutdoors]

I can tell you from a user why the one RS / modular camera is nice. I shoot starting in good light for about 2 hours then the sunsets using the 360 lens and my needs change. After sunset, I will switch to the 1" lens for when I need to shoot a video in low light or even use a light attached to the camera. I could use the 360 but the 1" lens works better in low light for this camera and much better with the light attached. Instead of taking 2 cameras, I can take just one. It allows me the flex ability that I need for my shooting style. It also allows me to cut down on a little weight and gear which is super important if I'm hiking in a l long distance to my filming location. I also shoot in adverse weather conditions. Having an action-style 360 camera is critical when it starts to rain or snow. In short, there is a nitch for a modular style 360 camera, and for those of us who use it for this, it works wonderfully. Keep up the good work filming and showing what is happening in the world of 360 cameras!

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a good use case 👍🏻

[@vastteedesign]

One of the other huge advantages of the RS modular design is the removable battery pack and having extra batteries to pop in. I keep 4 batteries with me. I never have to worry about running out of power!

[@timeintheoutdoors]

@@vastteedesign I 100% agree with this. I can choose to run the large battery, normal or even vertical.

[@kietzi]

thank you so much for this deep dive into the cameras 🤗

[@francomelechi8085]

For Christmas I gave myself a gift with the PanoX V2. I must say that the choice was motivated by the video quality. I could have opted for QooCam3 but it is very suitable for shooting in low light, something I rarely use. Now I'm waiting for Panox to add the RAW format to the photos, so as to have better quality in post production. However, I was satisfied with the extreme ease of use and functionality of GSV. Thanks Ben, your videos are linear and attract attention, worth watching until the end! 👍

[@BenClaremont]

Glad to hear it 👍🏻 keep me posted on how you find the PanoX

[@AT-sd2gh]

Here are some selling points for the Theta-X: built in GPS and compass for geotagging, SD card, removable/replaceable battery. I use it all the time for my hiking trips. It works great.

[@BenClaremont]

Glad to hear that- although other cameras do those things & do them better, hence why I don’t recommend it as a new purchase in 2024

[@theUltimateRollerman]

Like always, your reviews are always thorough and informative. I'm still using GoPro MAX, waiting for MAX2 to be relaised for my action 360video and the Trisio for my 360photography and tour. Big Thanks Ben.

[@BryonBlack1]

It's crazy to see that my little Z1 is still pretty much at the top of the pile for virtual tour work, even at 4+ years old!

[@JohnWats-p8i]

WOW. its crazy hoch MUCH better the 1-Inch edition is!

[@petercordingley927]

I recently purchased second-hand the Theta Z1 after having the Theta V, I have a few projects in my local area that I want to explore which involves business promotion on google maps. I appreciate your comments on processing the images and have acquired the fish eye add on which I have not used yet. Just glad you didn't slate the Z1 as I didn't do that much research before buying.

[@FlyerThanDrones]

your predictions were solid, Ben! Cant wait for the new 1-inch.

[@Ulrich.Bierwisch]

Thanks for this very good overview over the whole market. I'm using the Insta360 X2 and skipped the X3. I think the X4 will be a larger step forward. The Insta360 Ace Pro looks amazing and if they put two of them into the X4 and get enough additional computing power it will have 8k and probably more.

[@phlomix]

If I had infinite money, I'd go for the Insta360 1 Inch Edition. I already have the One R and have used it for years. But after watching countless review videos, I have concluded that no currently available camera presents significant enough of an upgrade for me, other than possibly the 1 Inch. I primarily shoot hiking videos. I'll most likely wait another year or two to see if anything new comes out that blows everything else away within a reasonable price range.

[@Sergey111111]

I chose insta x3, but i'm new in 360 cameras. I was surpised how cool it is despite all the reviews i've seen. I still don't have any videos i did but if I used this camera more I would choose one inch camera to get better picture

[@LUKarad]

X 3 INSTA..THE BEST!!!!

[@jariqsk]

When it comes to 360 photography then it is important to note that this review focuses solely on photography for virtual tours, which basically means all the photos have been taken with a camera mounted on a static tripod. If you plan to take photos with handheld camera on selfie stick (e.g while hiking) then the results presented in this video might not be applicable to you at all. For example I get blurry photos with handheld Insta360 X3 all the time. It's great for handheld video but not so great for handheld photos.

[@BenClaremont]

Sure but a) virtual tours are the main use case for 360 photography, and b) it sounds like the real issue is with your camera settings & shooting modes. All of these cameras perform well enough outdoors, hence why I didn’t bother to compare them (and this video took waaaay too long to make as is). You could easily get sharp shots with the X3 by just adjusting your settings.

[@ooterman]

​@BenClaremont what settings need to be adjusted to fix blurred pictures taken while handheld?

[@SergeAli777]

​​@@ootermantry to change shutter speed, Iso. Shutter speed try to set 1/100 or even 1/250 or lower. Try to shoot with fixed camera. Use timer to avoid camera movement on tripod.

Hi Ben, you don't recommend the RS but I wish that Insta360 sold the One RS without the 4k module and just the 360 module. I do agree about the modular solution. I mainly use it on my road and gravelbike and the form factor of the RS is less vulnerable. Keep up the good work Ben! Subscribed

[@NotMawuli]

Great video! Extremely Helpful!

[@kennethandjanicewoznyrealt6001]

ANY XPHASE SCAN demos up? I cannot find anything.

[@HDscreenerX]

If you want to save some $ just get yourself an Insta360 one X2. In my opinion not worth buying X3 as the video quality is nearly the same on both cameras. X3 doesn't have 60fps (what I was hoping that we will get with the X3 before launch). X3 is heavier than the X2 and the big front screen is not necessary as all you do on it is just browse through the settings, there is no point to watch your videos on it. So in conclusion X2 is the best for the price as of today.

[@MappersGEO]

As always, top review Ben, greetings from Ukraine) If you have time, I would like to clarify: I have a business model - I send my clients a camera by mail, with a monopod → they take a photo → I receive the camera back and upload a 3D tour to them at a point on Google map (Not Street View)... this is part of the local SEO work.. For personal video shooting of a blog I use insta x2... + Cannon m50 mark 2 A few questions: 1. For personal shooting for those clients who, in addition to the goal for local SEO, also need a high-quality business presentation, I want to master my camera (↑↑) + fisheye, or is it better to buy XPhase? The quality of this camera will already allow you to abandon the camera with a lens? This stitching and editing seems so complicated to me and, to be honest, I don’t even have much desire to understand the issue. 2. I send people x one or x 2, because you can buy a lot of them used and a lot on the market and there is no difference in the indoor photos between them and x 3, but maybe you can recommend something else? It is also important that the photo process itself is simple for people; in these cameras, people press one button and the camera takes a photo in 10 seconds. I see only 1 inch, but as you said, it is larger, more fragile and more expensive... On average, people break 1-2 cameras per year to me...

[@HUNOwl]

I bought an X2 for $370. Technically it's just a little bit inferior to the X3, if you don't count the larger display.

[@olivermannherz]

Really great and helpfull video as always, but please can you compare 360 Cameras for virtual Tours over 1000$?

[@DairyfarmMeindertsma]

I'm really missing the gopro max here despite your beautiful review.

[@BenClaremont]

Too old and outdated now. No firmware updates in years, hence why I knocked it out in the last video.

[@CuivTheLazyGeek]

Thanks for the detailed video! Too bad the GoPro Max is missing! For paragliding full flight capture, the GoPro Max is still the overall best 360 camera thanks to its amazing wind noise reduction, long battery life and compactness. The X3 is a close second, but will absolutely need an external microphone - it doesn't know how to deal with suddenly changing wind directions at high speed (and neither do any other brand I've tested, 360 or not). It's a shame because I really am not a big fan of GoPro...

[@BenClaremont]

I included it in the last one of these comparisons I made- but there are too many reasons not to buy it in 2024, hence why I didn’t include it. If sound is more important to you than most other things then sure, it may be the ‘best’. But not at most other aspects of 360 capture & editing. Plus, they haven’t updated the firmware/software in many years.

Surely Insta360 must make 8K 360 cameras this year? They already released the 8K action camera. Hopefully that spills over into 360 cameras. I'm also hoping for more 3D/VR180 cameras now that Apple Vision Pro has been released and Meta Quest seems to be selling quite a lot. The Canon camera looks very interesting. Sooner or later VR video has to "take off", right?

[@PTMY_998]

Expect a higher-end model of the X4 with the AcePro's 1/1.3" sensor; expect the X4 Pro because, like the AcePro, we expect better processor performance; rather than expecting a modified version to replace the RS's 1" model, an integrated model would be better than ONE R/RS is better than ONE R/RS because it seems to solve the problems that ONE R/RS has. As for the risk of damage.... Let's not think about it. 私が期待しているのはAceProの1/1.3インチセンサーを使ったX4の上位モデルです。AcePro同様にプロセッサー性能の向上が期待できるので、X4 Proが出ることを期待しています。RS １インチモデルの後継をMOD版で望むよりも、一体型の方がONE R/RSが持つ問題点を解決できそうだからです。 破損のリスクは・・・考えないことにしよう。

[@360misc]

Another great video. Love the side by side comps. I'll stick with my One-R because each new release that comes out doesn't feel worth the "bin it and start again" investment.

[@secondmindfilms7962]

I bought the Insta360 1-inch 360 Edition but with how the company operates, I can't stand by them. They will lock any device sold or resold by anyone other than them. Which means if I want to sell it down the road to upgrade, whomever buys it from me will have a brick. Very anti-consumer and I cannot support that. So I went with the Theta X instead, since it's at the same price point. I mainly use it for virtual tours with Matterport and Zillow, but the ability to record 4K 60fps is a huge bonus for integrating it into a video workflow. Especially when it has super easy hot swappable batteries and easy SD card access. Real world use yields better results than your test, imo, but it's good to have the side by side in a controlled test for a comparison as well.

Still prever my older Qoocam on the bike having a larger inbuild battery filming over 2 hours straight.

[@vividstudio4651]

First of all thank you very much for putting in so much effort and time to produce this comparison video. However viewing what you put up on the screen I don't really agree with your evaluation of the images. They were several examples of cameras that had more detail in the image as well as better dynamic range. And I'm not really sure how you you can say that the Insta360 One RS 1-Inch has good video quality! The example of you walking through the museum was terribly soft and focus. But anyway thanks for a great video! Cheers

If you're new at virtual tours, Ben's course was very much money well spent for me. Great comparison, as always, Ben. I will say that I'm extremely happy with my Theta X. It was an impulse purchase at half of its regular price. The owner bought it for a project that never materialized. Your points are spot on, though. I have several extra batteries and chargers and never worry about running out of power. I did a 220-plus-pano virtual tour early last year, starting around 11am and went until about 7pm. I never turned off the camera, save for changing the battery every hour or two. The Theta X sucks batteries dry quickly, likely because of the built-in HDR and stitching. The low-light photos are incredibly good, especially when locking in a low ISO and using the built-in HDR. The speed of shooting a virtual tour is incredibly fast. I was able to use the images right out of the camera with very few corrections. The biggest downside for me: I wouldn't rely on it for good 360 video. As you point out, it's mediocre at best. But my intent was only to use the Theta X for virtual tours, so it doesn't bother me.

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks Chris! Appreciate the kind words & glad to hear you’ve found a way to make the Theta X work for longer shoots… keep up the good work!

[@Seeitmove]

Good reviews! Thank you.

[@SamEmilio2]

Hey Ben, thanks for this wildly in depth review! I've owned a Z1 for a couple of years, and just want to note a few things: According to the iFixit guide, the battery size is actually 1100mAh. I'm surprised that you're able to get all day life out of it - I'll find that one big house with Matterport will be enough to do it in. BUT it's so great that it a/charges quickly and b/can take power from USB C while you're using it Also with that camera, I may be totally missing something but I've never had to do any of the stitching you refer to? That's mentioned as being a big drawback for the workflow, but when I pull the images from it, they're ready to go. I'd give it a 10/10 for workflow - it's just like a normal camera. Maybe it's a particular mode? One downside to consider with it (and may be the case with all these cameras) is if you're an IDIOT. I dropped mine, and got a tiny, TINY scratch one of the lenses. Glass is unaffected but the coatings are. Causes a slight smear effect from flaring. Ricoh's support isn't the best, but going through their proper channels I got quoted $850USD to repair it. That was infuriating because I might as well just buy a new one for that price!

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks for that, I couldn’t find the battery spec anywhere. Yeah it lasts all day for me, but I can see how it might drain faster on big MP shoots. The workflow I referenced was the Dual Fisheye Plugin HDR merging workflow which is what 90% of users use (obviously can’t be used with Matterport which takes a single automatic exposure shots). You can get much better dynamic range using it - just look at the difference between my automatic exposure shots (what you get with MP) and the edited shot (DFE plugin). And sorry to hear about your lens getting scratched 😅

[@SamEmilio2]

@@BenClaremont Ok very interesting! Thanks for the response. I've been wanting to use my Z1 for HDRIs to use in Blender, but the one time I went out to do it I hated the results and blamed the camera! I was bracketing raw photos and the stitching was done in camera. I've really gotta look at the workflow you're describing, because obviously those images are so much nicer.

I bought brand new X3. The first time I used it, after 20 minutes, the recording stopped due to overheating. I found many complaints about overheating. Did you encounter this overheating issue? What SD card brand are you using?

[@BenClaremont]

Nope mine has never overheated- if it’s overheating so quickly then it’s a good chance you bought a slow SD card. Check out my video ‘best accessories for Insta360 X3’ for my card recommendations 👍🏻

Happy with my Insta360 X3 for vacation and events' shots and vids, much better then X2...and really not waiting for another Xx with another slight improvement, more AI (we already have the AI warp thing) and replacing all accessories as usual is the case with a new camera-release. I really love to see the canon 360/180 3D released to replace my VuzeXR. What happened to Humaneyes company, it's not active anymore? There site's still up with the sold out VuzeXR. 🤔 I love 3D/180-content more then 360 on my quest device. So immersive!

[@BenClaremont]

Yeah they went out of business unfortunately.

[@theendzombo9787]

your reviews are very good, I always look at your videos before buying a 360 camera. But I think you should maybe make another review on the PanoX V2 as firmware updates have fixed basically everything you said was bad and I think you may like it more

Canon 180 for me

I am already using theta Z1 and is getting very good results. I am looking to buy another 360 camera. Should I buy another Z1 or Insta 1 inch. I am mainly onto 360 virtual tours.

[@BenClaremont]

Watch the video to find out 😀

[@daltonrandall4348]

Very comprehensive video, thanks!! Do you have an example 360 image or tour from the XPhase Scan online anywhere? I can't seem to find much information about it.

[@BenClaremont]

Unfortunately not- I haven’t had time to make a virtual tour with it yet.

Thanks

[@BenClaremont]

No worries!

[@blakehaley1698]

So would you recommend the 1 inch of the X3 for VR? Trying to decide what to get

[@Ra978]

Thanks ❤

[@ernanigarcia3530]

Very nice video, Ben. Thank you. I still have and use my old but reliable Theta S. As I am going to Japan in July I am considering buying a Theta Z1 there. I like this camera series a lot.

Really thorough review. Thank you!
