Would be nice to see a tutorial on SDK usage for both android and ios devices

[@insta360tutorials]

Hi there, this request has been forwarded to our R&D group for further evaluation and development. Please stay tuned. Thanks for your understanding and support!

Great intro to this camera. I just unboxed this camera, activated & updated the firmware. After watching this video, I notice the video never mention about setting up the date & time on the camera. Wonder how do I set the date & time on this camera for time stamping on the video clips?

[@insta360tutorials]

Hi there, the date and time will be synced automatically when the camera connects to the Insta360 app. Please have a look.

Good tutorial for beginners🎉

[@insta360tutorials]

Glad you liked it!

[@JoeZorzin]

I keep asking the following question in KZbin sites that discuss Insta 360 cameras- and fail to get a satisfying response: "How good is the 4K mode with the X3 camera, compared to a more expensive, non 360 camera- the type of cameras that many people use to make walking videos in cities and outdoors- and those other cameras often cost multi thousand dollars". I do watch many such videos- mostly in European cities where the person walks miles in the cities- some of the videos are in great outdoor sites. Those videos usually indicate that the video is shot in 4K or 8K and the quality is fantastic- with super sharp video- seemingly sharper than you could see with your own eyes. Of course I can't expect the X3 to be that good in 4K mode but unless I see some videos of the X3 in 4K mode I can't judge for myself. Some of the videos reviewing the X3 will show a few seconds of 4K video but not nearly enough to make that judgement. I wish somebody would shoot an entire video of at least several minutes with the X3 in 4K mode- walking in a city and in the countryside. I currently own a One X which I bought when it first came out. I'm very happy with it but I'd also like to shoot in 4K for a "walking" type video which is extra sharp. I'm hesitating buying the X3 until I can see how good the 4K is. Apparently those doing reviews of the camera feel it's not that important so they don't bother. If this comment is read by the people at Insta360, please reach out to KZbinrs you know who do the reviews and ask them to make such a video. Thanks! PS: I suppose I could purchase the X3 then decide if I like the 4K video and if not, return it- but I don't like returning products. It's not really fair to the manufacturer.

Very unclear spelling🥲

[@GOLd_Multimedia]

Why is there no warning that communication with the phone is mandatory??? Is it possible to disconnect the smartphone from the camera via the menu in the camera itself after activation? Will the camera ask for activation again? Let's say I activated the camera using a friend's phone. But I want to disconnect my friend's phone and not link other phones. Is it possible to do this with the camera itself? Will the indicator work when there is a connection with the phone app?

[@stehume]

i can not se the point in insta having the comments turned on when like yourself have asked a question, same as i want to know and they give you a reply like they have, total waste of time. if you did find out could you please let me know, many thanks

[@stehume]

@@insta360tutorials thats not really an answer to what the person asked, its replys like this that make you lose sales

[@insta360tutorials]

@@stehume Hi there, sorry for the confusion caused. As long as the camera has already been activated, X3 can work independently. You can shoot with the camera itself, then edit and share the clips through our computer software, Insta360Studio. It wouldn't ask for activation again. If you would like to disconnect the connection with another camera, you can click Disconnect in the app and forget the camera's password on the phone's Wi-Fi settings page. Also, X3 supports changing Wi-Fi passwords. With any questions, please feel free to contact us via email at [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@GOLd_Multimedia]

​@@insta360tutorials Yes, he no longer asks for activation, at least not yet asks. But, changing the password or turning off wi-fi in the camera itself is impossible. If I knew about cheese, an unfinished product, I would not buy this camera. I'm afraid to imagine what the owners of the previous version feel. I do not advise for a purchase. Maybe the camera will be worthy in the future, but this model is only for sucking weather and for lovers of spectacular second inserts, but not for constant continuous shooting. To do this, I bought it, and not for that (as many think) to shoot Villog or replace a regular camera. But still more disappointments than advantages. For example, dust under glass on a new chamber. The quality is close to zero. As always: the idea is excellent, but the implementation is bad. PS: I apologize for the text, if it is incomprehensible - I use the online translator.

[@DiveShadow]

What exactly is Me mode? Is it different than deep tracking in the app to keep myself center frame? Say if I was skiing and moving the selfie stick more

[@insta360tutorials]

Hello there, thank you for your question. The Me Mode is a shooting mode that allows you to directly shoot fixed viewpoint third person videos, which can also hide the selfie stick, and is suitable for high frame rate videos in sports settings such as skiing. Its effect is equivalent to 5.7K60fps re-framing, saving you the work of re-editing 360° shots in post-production. I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions, please feel free to consult insta360 Support on the official website or app. You can also send an email directly to [e-mail], thank you for your understanding.

[@Bearhawk_Life]

I am wanting to mount the x3 on a single strut wing. I see lots of guys with these mounted that have double struts, is it possible to mount on a Cessna 170 strut? Also I have mounted a power box from FlightFlix in my wing, I had planned to run a GoPro with no battery and just run the power cable to the camera to eliminate over heating. Does the x3 have over heating issues? Can it be run with power but no battery? Is there a waterproof attachment to be able to run a power cable? Thanks in advance for your help

If I edit a video on my phone, then export.. will the original video still be kept in its original form? I plan to shoot only in 360 mode, some videos I will want the full 360 mode and also edit the same video to reframe into single view mode. Will I be able to keep both versions of the same video? or will it overwrite once I export?

[@insta360tutorials]

Hi there, thanks a lot for your comment. If you want to re-edit the file after exporting, you can use the "Reset Edits" function to edit another file. Then you can export it to your phone. Please feel free to contact us via [e-mail] if you need any further help!

Is it OK to use 5V/2A charger please ?

[@insta360tutorials]

Yes, you can use a 5V/2A charger, but the charging speed will be slower. For the X3, I would recommend using a 5V/3A charger for better performance. Hope it helps!

Can I start or stop shooting from iPhone?

[@insta360tutorials]

I am from Bangladesh. Some days i bought it but if i shooting video mode its become very hot. Should i have??

[@insta360tutorials]

Hi, there! We completely understand why you might be worried when your camera feels hot to the touch. The temperature of the camera will naturally increase after a long time recording or downloading files. However, the camera’s overheating protection system will prompt a message and shut down the camera automatically if it gets too hot. When this happens, simply set the camera aside for a few minutes to let it cool down before recording again. With that said, we can help you check if there is a quality issue with the camera that causes it to overheat too quickly. In what situations does the camera overheat? How long are you able to record before it overheats?

how to adjust frame 16:9 or tiktok video

[@insta360tutorials]

Hi there, For 360 videos, you can adjust the ratio to 16:9 or 9:16 (TikTok) within Insta360 App after shooting and then export them. For videos shot on Single-Lens Mode, both 16:9 and 9:16 are selectable on the screen when you adjust shooting parameters. Just give it a try!

I have a Motorola G Pure Android phone with latest version 12 android update software just installed today. I do not have the X3 camera at this time. My phone tells me that the Insta360 app is not compatible with my phone and I say WHY???? I had to download the Insta360 app from their website since it did not show up in Google Play app area. Be nice if I could activate it on my PC laptop, but that probably wouldn't work either. So anybody have any ideas how activate this Insta360 X3 camera other than a mobile phone????
