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.

[@YodaG.]

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

[@amberkrishan]

Hi Mitch, thanks for the great inputs. I see that you are using aero handlebars on your bike. How are you mounting the camera for secure gripping?

[@MitchBoyer]

I use the Insta360 Third-Person Bike Tail Mount on my bars. They also have a handlebar specific mount

[@JMower]

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.

[@lilytellmacca]

Hi Mitch great video and confirmed for me that I should buy the X3, which I have done. Just checking did you use the clamp from the motorcycle bundle to attach the camera and stick in the forward to the side position? Great work on the climb! Andrew

[@alexhffmnn]

Would also be interested in the mount used

[@SoGoMTB]

Thanks for sharing! SUBSCRIBED!

[@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!

[@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.

[@rmc8607]

Great Video with lots of great info... What is the mount you used under your saddle/ seatpost? That is the angle that I am looking for but cant quite seem to get it

It’s the Insta360 motorcycle kit with selfie stick. Heavier than some of their bicycle mounts, but it’s super sturdy so I think it’s worth it. Thanks for watching!

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?

[@user-zz7tz9lj3q]

Do you use the insta360 x3 lens protector? If so, what do you think?

[@tonni0]

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.

[@mametbuchari9688]

nice video, I want to ask how to show wahoo live segment in video, using what application? is there a totorial?

[@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.

[@evullo]

Thanks for sharing, great video. Can you please post a link to your chest mount? Thank you

Such a great review. Question I had is what are you using for the saddle mount? Can’t tell from the shots if that’s attached to the seat post or the saddle itself. Thanks!

[@MitchBoyer]

I used a generic action cam saddle mount form Amazon. It wasn't great to be honest, and slipped a lot. Theres a new seat-post mount from Insta360 that works a lot better because it locks into place. I think its called "Insta360 Seat Post Mount with Selfie Stick"

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?

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

[@trishalim]

Great review! Thank u! I been using oneX2 for a year now and always find the low light footages not so nice. Btw how do you mount the DJI receiver securely to the x3? I am always worried the receiver will drop while cycling...

[@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.

[@trishalim]

@@MitchBoyer yes its the ulanzi pt-20 cold shoe for rode n i'm using it too. I use a black maskin tape to tape it to oneX2 for security. Good to know it wont drop off from your video :) i may try it out soon!

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!

[@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]

@@MitchBoyer I was referring to croping the unframed video on insta apps, you cannot search your footage by looking at an audio track for speech waves,

[@19ab59]

Mitch, how do you compare the X3 to the X2? I'm thinking about buying a new X2 or X3. Is it worth the extra €140?

[@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 🙌

[@tonytheantony]

Liked the low light. No good for my cycle commute as I'll be wacking too many pedestrians with the selfi stick!🤣 Suppose I could mount the cam say 40cms vertically on my rear carrier to get enough footage around me? Umm, perhaps time to save the many pennies!👍🙂

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

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 Yeah! I have a 2-year protection package for the camera. So, I may just yank them off. Thanks for the reply!

[@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 😅)

[@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!
