Cycling With The Insta360 X3: MAJOR UPGRADE

[@Regantdarcy]

Totally agree about the Insta360. Best Bicycling vlogging camera out there. I love how you don’t have to worry about framing. Just set it & forget it. Infinite editing choices in post. My GoPro has been collecting dust ever since I got one.

[@daveoutdoors4949]

I’d never heard of the insta360 until Friday. Ordered one Saturday. There’s no comparison with GoPro footage. Every problem with my GoPro 7 seems to be resolved with the x3.

[@Ezrabastian]

GoPro lol

[@sergengozcu]

Exactly!!!

[@snupy-cam]

Nice video! Lately, I've started using Insta360 cameras on my rides around town with my dog.🚴🐕I managed to mount Insta360 Extended edition selfie stick (300 cm) with the Insta360 X4 over the front wheel of the bicycle using the quick release system. So, I can stop riding the bicycle anywhere, put it on the stand, and continue filming my dog without pausing. Also, I placed the second Insta360 Ace Pro camera on the bicycle seat tube to film what is happening behind me. With this, I covered the area that cannot be recorded by the front camera because of me, because I interfere in the shot. In this way, I can cover literally everything that happens around me while riding a bike, and thus watch all the runs of my dog ​​around me, this way I get great shots suitable for slowing down. I am really excited about both insta360 cameras.

[@vincentius_yudha]

Because of this video I bought myself a 360 cam and start my cycling channel!! Thanks a lot Mitch!!

[@MitchBoyer]

Glad I could help!!

[@jollygoodvelo]

Thanks for posting this. Insta360 sent me one of these to test out for cycling and I too think it’s great. Love the camera angle to the side: I will have to start using that one myself.

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks, Leonard! Love your channel, big fan over here!

[@jollygoodvelo]

@@MitchBoyer Thanks Mitch. I also forgot to say thanks also for the tip about editing the 360 footage on the desktop app rather than the mobile one. You’ve got a great channel too.

[@eddiewards123]

@jollygoodvelo @mitchboyer Can this camera attach directly to gopro mount under a bike computer? Looking to use it in races and keep it as discreet as possible? if so does that come straight from the box or do you need extra kit for it?

[@jollygoodvelo]

@@eddiewards123 The X3 has a quarter twenty screw mount so you would need an adaptor but, yes, in theory you could but my issue is how secure it would be.

[@patrickpaez8086]

Wanted to know how the clamp holds going over bumps with the selfie stick extended? Will it shift position to the point you need to readjust? Thanks!

[@TAJARIBSAUD]

You are right About built in microphone I really liked what DJI did with pocket 2 I wish every action camera company take a note

[@arquivo225]

I dont like the audio quallity of my dji pocket 2. Lots of hiss noises. I'm using a rode wireless go and it's way better.

Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice 360 bike video Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!!

[@AleksandrsKarimovs]

Can please you go into more detail about the setup on 08:20? What's that device conected to the mic adapter? A mic? A storage device? A wireless transmitter for your lavalier mic? It's not clear from the video. I'm thinking of possible solutions for my 360x3 to connect external wireless mic.

[@NTuneLabs]

Awesome. Spent so much on my GoPro Max that I'm going to have to keep it for awhile longer, but Insta360 is really impressing me.

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for watching! I was super impressed with how much they improved over the last generation. I cant wait to see what they do with the next one!

[@airniqueel]

"Mediocre Descents w/ Mitch" is the video to make! :) I definitely liked the audio with the external mic; much easier to understand and very clear audio no matter the environment.

Hey which make u recommend for external Mike please help with make that is comparable with insta 360x3

[@19ab59]

Hi Mitch, I advise you to use lens guards speaking from experience. And a metal cage if you ride bumpy tracks like I do with my gravelbike. Ik broke my X2 and scratched my One R :(

[@YodaG.]

I have to agree.. The insta360 X3 is the best used for cycling / scootering !

thanks a million for sharing. can you spend some time, or a separate video about how to set it up. e.g. which selfie stick you bought, from where, & how to mount onto your handlebar/seat post. cannot tell from your links of accessories which long stick, or the bike mount you bought. you are more into showing the result of your filming rather than " what specific mounting hardware to buy & how to install on your handlebar or seat post."

[@livmondo231]

Curious why you recommend turning the sharpness down to LOW. Thanks for your review and suggestions. I'm learning how to use my new X3 and found your helpful video. 😁

[@XoLoX90]

Most likely because the camera will sharpen the footage by itself, which gives you a worse result than sharpening in post on your computer. Most camera’s don’t handle sharpening very well.

[@ricardomaduro2042]

what accessories/mounting hardware are you using for your bar end mount and seatpost mount .. and the rods as well please :) ?

Nice helpful vid! We're going to start playing around with something similar for our bike rides. Do you leave the mic running for the whole trip to are you constantly turning the mic off and on along with both cameras off and on?

Hey Mitch what is the actual name of the attachment to the drops of your handlebar?. Is it the same attachment that you use to the seat post as well ( for the zwift POV)? I assume that you just use the invisible stick with that attachment correct?

[@MitchBoyer]

It’s the Insta360 Motorcycle Mount with Selfie stick. That’s the name on the Insta360 website if I recall correctly.

[@taoteksok2367]

Great video, I have watch your videos many time. would I ask how to mount the camera with your saddle.?

[@ricardodamico]

What exact mount are you using to attach to the handlebar drops? Seems like there are several types out there, even in insta 360 site... And are you using the 114cm Selfie Stick? Would your recommend using that carbon stick from the other 3rd person bike mount?

[@jeremycanham9537]

Great video, question for you! I’ve noticed that when I’m using mine, the whole selfie stick and camera seem to drop (get closer to the ground) every time I hit a small bump no matter how tight I tighten the clamp. Do you have any suggestions? Does this happen to yours?

[@dathyr1]

Hi Mitch, Thanks for the Insta360 videos. Quick question: May I ask what cell phone you used to first connect or pair the insta360 X3 camera? My Android Motorola G Pure G4 phone is not compatible with the insta360 app. Cant even install the app on my phone. Plus I don't have any friends that have any phones that work. Thanks for the pros and cons on these cameras. I also watched your X2 video. Take care

I was wondering how you attached the Insta360 to your handlebars? Is your fastener from the Insta360, or from a third party vendor? Please, advise. Thank you.

[@MitchBoyer]

It's the Insta360 "Third-Person Bike Tail Mount". I put it on my drops since my carbon handlebars are flat and not round. They also sell a handlebar specific mount if you have round handle bars. Hope that helps!

[@antonaroundtheworld]

what mount did you use to fix the selfie stick below the saddle. I did it with the motorcycle kit on the seat post and it ripped out the thread of the selfie stick.

[@tomjonker-eo8hl]

Hey Mitch hands down best insta360 review video quality looks amazing, question with your dji mic do you still use the dji storage device ad sync later or do you use the adaptor? it looks a bit clunky the adaptor attaching it to the 360. and can you sync the audio via the insta360 desktop afterwards? or is that a seperate program

[@MitchBoyer]

I find myself syncing the audio afterward 90% of the time. I export the footage from the Insta360 desktop app and sync the footage and audio in DaVinci Resolve. The free version works perfectly, and syncs the footage with one click!

[@Joseda772]

Hi, it’s the Motorcycle Mount kit with Selfie Stick from Insta360. Thanks for watching!

[@Addarraj]

It seems you have managed to crop the silence, does the Insta360 App show an audio track to help you crop the silent moments? or did you have to watch all your footage to mark then crop?

[@MitchBoyer]

You can do some editing in the Insta360 app, but I don’t know if it’ll automatically cut out the silent bit. I chopped it up in DaVinci Resolve, my normal editing app

[@Addarraj]

[@AdamJStoryDC]

Why place the sharpness down to low? Wouldn't you want it to be sharper? (i.e. better image quality)

[@MitchBoyer]

The “sharpness” setting is basically extreme micro contrast added to the pixels after capture. Bumping up “sharpness in the camera will not result in any extra detail, but it does create the illusion of detail. You can always add sharpness in later, but once it’s there, it’s difficult to remove and is considered “destructive” to the image. Because of that, you always want to add sharpness at the very end of your image processing. Hope that helps!

[@AdamJStoryDC]

@@MitchBoyer Thank you! Great channel!

[@sir_numbskull]

What mount combo are you using at 1:20? Looks like it's fixed to your seatpost rails and then a gopro 2 prong adapter to 1/4" adapter, but how crazy ratcheted down must your tension be to keep it from dipping?

[@MitchBoyer]

Good eye! It's the GoPro seat clamp, and the Insta360 1/4" adaptor that came in the "Insta360 Bike Kit." The adapter is plastic and soft, so it allows me to clamp down super hard and keep the selfie stick in place. I didn't have any issues with the stick dropping, but the effort was pretty short. It might droop if it was on there for an extended period of time.

[@danielesassu2607]

Could you tell us with a direct link to the purchase of the clamp that you attach to the lower part of the handlebar to which you attach the selfie stick?

[@MitchBoyer]

KZbin doesn't like links in the comments, but it's called the Insta360 Third-Person Bike Tail Mount.

[@foresure7181]

what mount did you use for the rails? it doesn't look like their "3D Bike" perspective one

[@MitchBoyer]

It was a generic GoPro mount from Amazon, but it slipped a lot so I stopped using it. I use the 3rd person mount now and it’s heavier, but much more secure.

[@chakrungrueng]

0:33 What mount and stick did you use?

[@SpininStyle]

Mitch, I really like your videos! #authentic (as if that means much these days, but I'm 65yo, so I actually mean it). You mention a POV camera - I presume you don't use a 360deg camera for that (since it is wasting half the image.) What camera would you recommend for a chest POV video cam?

[@MitchBoyer]

I appreciate that! The X3 has a single lens mode that works well (that’s what I use now), but if you want a dedicated single lens camera, I used to use my Insta360 GO2 for casual rides and the GoPro Hero 9 for rides where I wanted longer battery life. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@AM-fu9be]

Hi Mitch, how tight did you tighten the bike mount on the handlebar? I have just ordered one. I also have a carbon handlebar

[@MitchBoyer]

Just tight enough so it doesn't slip. Because of the bar tape, I find it doesn't need to be extremely tight.

[@AM-fu9be]

@@MitchBoyer I have just tested it, it holds quite well even if you don't tighten it massively. Did you also attach this mount to the seat tube, it also seems to work well. Cheers from Germany

Hey Mitch! What attachment is that mounted to the back of your saddle to the insta360 stick?

[@MitchBoyer]

I had a generic action cam seat mount I bought off Amazon, but it didn't hold very well (the selfie stick pulled down over time). There's a dedicated seat post mount that I picked up later and it does a much better job. I think its literally called "Insta360 Seat Post Mount"

[@DigitalDawg]

Nice review, thanks. At 11:31 what is the clamp device at the left of the image? Do you have a link to that?

It’s the Insta360 Motorcycle Mount with Selfie Stick. I don’t have a link handy, but you can probably find it on Amazon or the Insta360 website ✌️

[@antoniot.4303]

I have qwestion !? Is true that any time you can see 360 degrees of your video when you film ?

[@recordball]

How can you tell if you are in the shot when you mount it in front or behind you? Is there way to see the image on your phone before you start recording?

[@MitchBoyer]

Because you can change the camera angle in post, you just kinda stick it in front of you and worry about camera angle later. (just make sure there's nothing between you and the camera to block the view 😅)

[@Sir-Kay]

@@MitchBoyer Pause at 9:16 The link doesn't contain what you mounted on your saddle b4 the invincible stick screw on to it. What I saw in the link looks like what would clamp onto an handle bar and not a saddle rail, could you share a link to the exact adaptor that secures the stick & camera to the saddle rail?

[@MitchBoyer]

Oh that one is a generic saddle rail camera mount I bought off Amazon. I wouldn’t recommend it for use with the selfie stick. It was extremely wobbly and the extended selfie stick puts a lot of stress on the saddle rails (which is probably a bad idea 😅) I used it once for that shot and never again. It’s meant to be used with only an action camera, not action camera + selfie stick.

[@Sir-Kay]

@@MitchBoyer I get that it's wobbly & stuff but, that means u won't be able to get that Zwift shot every again? I like the handlebar shot but, I need the rear 3rd person GTA shot as well, imo nothing beats it. Do u know any walkaround that or you've just given up on it already?

[@MitchBoyer]

@@Sir-Kay the most stave mount I’ve found is the Insta360 Third-Person Bike Tail Mount. It still has a bit of wobble but much less than anything else I’ve tried. I use it on both my handlebars and my seat post. You can see it on the seat post in my “the steepest race in the USA” video and on my handlebars in my San Fransisco steep streets video. I don’t have a link to it but I’m sure it’ll pop up in Amazon as it’s pretty unique.

Hi Mitch, love your vids, keep it up! I’ve been using the one x2 for quite a while and it’s been great mostly. Just one issue though, when you record in 360mode for a long time (30+ minutes) it splits the files into separate chunks, and you lose about a minute of footage between the files. Does the x3 still have the same problem? Thanks!

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks dude! Yeah, it still splits them into chunks. I had the camera on for an 1:20 minute ride and it was split into 3 videos with a bit of a gap between them. Hopefully they do a firmware update in the future that fixes it.

[@DonCarlyon]

I'm going to Taiwan to attempt the mountain there. Was looking at this cam and some mounting options for my bike. I have an integrated handlebar and aero seat post. Would the motorbike clamp work for these since they are not round.

[@MitchBoyer]

Definitely try it out beforehand. I have aero handlebars, that's why I mount the camera in the drops. Fir the seatpost, it really depends on how deep your seatpost is. Mine is a D-shaped seatpost, and it work just fine :)

[@raczyk]

How would you avoiod the shake? Do gopro cameras remove this shake?

[@gnatman1102]

Do you record exclusively in 5.7K HDR in auto mode? On a recent ride using my X3, I shot in HDR and ended up with very grainy/pixelated videos in the lower lighted areas, and I'm not talking about late day. I'm talking shadowy areas during the middle of the day.

[@MitchBoyer]

Yeah I do t really change it. A setting that might help you is turning down the image sharpness to the lowest setting. If the sharpness is turned on it will shaped any image noise and make it more noticeable. That was one of the things I didn’t love about the X2 but now that the X3 has that option I’ve found the image quality to be much better. Hope that helps!

[@gnatman1102]

@MitchBoyer Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try the low sharpness. Initially, I set it to medium. One more question. Do you use any lens guards? I applied sticky lens guards and applied the setting for it upon applying them. The guards have been on since first use. So, I can't compare before and after the application.

[@MitchBoyer]

@@gnatman1102 I haven’t used the lens guards, so I’m not sure what the quality is like with them on. I did read there is a drop in image quality, though (that’s why I didn’t put them on)

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for watching! I got a quick release adaptor that screws into the top of the selfie stick and bottom of the X3 and mounted the DJI receiver on it. You can kinda see it if you pause the video at 8:27. I believe its called "Invisible Mic Cold Shoe (for RØDE Wireless GO)" On the Insta360 website. I was also afraid of dropping the receiver so i taped the back of it to the could shoe mount with gaffer tape.
