Bought the isnta360 4k version and then watch this video. Very informative and helpful. Thank you

[@revblade]

I just bought the RS 360 and 4K Boost combo (and have not yet received it). Thank you for this quick tutorial! I'm sure I'll want to re-watch it at least once more after the camera arrives.

[@getoutandexplore]

Thank you for that explanation of the camera menu - it was explained perfectly and was simple to follow. Whereas other YTers have raced through this, I learned much more by you taking time and care in the way you presented it.

[@hitechrr]

This is one of the best videos that I have seen on this camera.

[@EatSleep360]

thanks, much appreciated

[@RobotLegJim]

I’ve been doing sooooo much homework on which action camera to purchase, and yours are among my favorites. I get excellent info, without being drowned in Tech Talk like many of the other moto-blogging videos. Thank you.

[@EatSleep360]

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated

[@MrTed-yd1gn]

I'll be back to review this over and over. :) This helps a lot! Thanks!

Very nice work!!! thank you very much!

Thanks for just got it on Amazon so keep learning it. Learned a lot now ☝️👋

I just got the camera today. I've owned many GoPros and I'm excited to have the additional features this camera has. Good job on the tutorial..

Thanks for the comment much appreciated

[@matsetizar65]

This is so useful to so many owners. I dont have the camera but regardless i do wanna thank you for making this.

[@EatSleep360]

Thanks for the comment much appreciated

[@waltercruz6560]

Wow, great video and extremely helpful. Thank you for posting it.

[@manassevitz]

Thank you for you video. One suggestion. You can make a video about downgrade and upgrade manually, because when the camera freeze and the top buttons doesn't work that's the only option.

[@marko1314]

Excellent tutorial - Well done indeed

Wondering on the audio on both version, i primarily want to use it on my motorbike and currently use the Hero8 which has terrible audio with wind noise, id prefer to have a mic added without it adding another £60 to the price

[@cdnrider6200]

nice video man .

[@letsJawa]

Thanks for the wonderful video and guidance. I am looking at an action camera as i ride bike. I like the modular concept of RS but not too sure if that's the one i should invest in. I am not a Pro photographer but want my pics and videos to be correct with image stabilization as they become shaky with the bumps and vibrations.

[@EatSleep360]

I made this video on all three insta cameras that you may find useful kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZDbeJarrpmSnNU

[@diverspudph]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@HistoryNiche]

I am considering this for standard lens footage but worried about the editing options v go pro

[@caloipaolo]

GOOD BOY 👏 exhaustive tutorial !! However, I add a DEFECT that I found and I i to check video recordings, the synchronization between action cam and iPhone (latest generation) is out of phase. In other words, the app sometimes delays the shooting and sometimes freezes the recording. It is therefore very difficult 😞 to operate with precision.

[@EatSleep360]

I’ve found that sometimes the recording appears to freeze on the phone if you’re too far away but it still does record it ok.

[@caloipaolo]

Can you please do a video on the Crane M2 and insta360 one RS bluetooth setup.. Balancing was easy. Can't get Bluetooth to work. Thx

[@EatSleep360]

I haven’t got the M2 but I Know that Bluetooth with the One R only connects to certain things, it’s very fussy

[@gregstotts1638]

Thanks. Good to know it's not just me. I'll keep working with it

[@kikig2150]

I just received my insta360 one rs today and it only came with one lens! Should I have received two?

[@EatSleep360]

If you bought the twin edition then yes it should have two lenses

[@rogelioprado7370]

Can you shoot while the camera is connected to power? Thinking about really long timelapses

[@EatSleep360]

Yes you can - I use a power bank for long time lapse shots

[@rogelioprado7370]

@@EatSleep360 awesome, thanks!

[@HansKeesom]

Is loop recording (dash cam mode) recording in 360? If so does it fill up the card before deleting the oldest recording? How long would it do with a 1 TB memrycard?

[@Hoodeene]

Is there a solution for the Gaps between the video files? Many Thanks!

[@andreastomblin2137]

Great video! does the 4k camera lens work with the invisible selfie stick or does the invisible selfie stick only work with the 360 lens

[@EatSleep360]

Thanks - it’s only invisible with the 360 mod but you can still use it just as a selfie stick

[@andreastomblin2137]

@EatSleep360 thanks for the info, it makes sense 👍🏻

[@jeffreyhughes7107]

Great video! Well paced. I’m confused though, is this waterproof or rugged? If the lenses are so fragile then how is it rugged? I was looking for a dependable and rugged 360 to put under my plane wing.

[@EatSleep360]

There have been a lot of posts about problems underwater so use the dive case. All 360 cameras are vulnerable due to the lenses - you can get sticky lens protectors.

[@jeffreyhughes7107]

@@EatSleep360 Gosh, thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I’m curious if one can start and stop the camera via a dedicated remote or via an app or both?

[@Rob2000steeler99]

Is there any way to transfer and edit video from the camera to the phone? The companion app is just a storefront with videos of other products... I was hoping to be able to transfer videos from the camera to edit, watch and share. 😕

[@EatSleep360]

Yes using the insta360 app as shown in the video you can download to the app and then export to your phone to watch and share. The home feature is the area of the app with other videos - connect to your camera by using the camera icon as shown in the video.

[@miguel88ms99]

Hi! Can you switch between video and photo mode in insta 360 one rs without touching the screen? (During diving)

[@EatSleep360]

Before you dive Slide down from the top and then select the padlock icon - this will lock the screen. You can then use the on button to toggle between shooting modes.

Hi does the voice command work with external mic plugged in?

[@trentonc9141]

Thank you very much for htis video. Delivery is scheduled for my new RS to arrive tomorrow so this guide really helps. I'm curious, at 9:01, you mention that hdr while in 360 needs to be on a tripod or the vid will be blurry. Do you mean a tripod as in a static placement? I will be mounting it on top of bike helmet with a 16 cm extension arm (both for cycling and motorcycling) which isn’t static but I prefer hdr to be on. Can I use hdr while mounted on my helmet or will the vid be too blurry? It’s quite a difference having footage that is non-blurry with hdr, vs blurry hdr since I find hdr an important feature to have. The biking I do are through forest trails so the footage will go from sunny to darker (under the trees) and back and forth many times so I prefer hdr on to bring out the darker colours that happen under dense bush. Thanks again.

[@EatSleep360]

For moving hdr shots you will need active hdr which I think only the x3 has otherwise it will be blurry.

[@Ark003]

Well described , Due to cash Crunch i am taking the Basic version for Moto Vlogging. btw wats the battery backup ?

[@EatSleep360]

You can use a power bank to top up and charge the battery

Should I tilt the camera if I put it on an FPV drone?

[@stonkerontheroad9609]

Great into thanks. So what settings are best for recording for upload to youtube?

[@EatSleep360]

It’s just important to record at 5.7k and ideally export in the desktop studio at 4k, I usually use prores. KZbin tends to compress stuff so the more resolution you can give it the better. If you have the time then manual settings with as lower iso as possible is best.

[@stonkerontheroad9609]

@@EatSleep360 So If I am riding a motorcycle, on 5.7k, it records 30 min videos. Do I then need to manually delete the files to make more room? I'd like it to overwrite the oldest file once the disc is full

[@greatfallskam]

will something like a RODE Wireless GO receiver mounted on the Insta360 ONE RS ( in 360 mode ) camera shoe show up on the video?

[@EatSleep360]

You’ll need the proper mounting bracket so that it stays hidden in the stitchline

[@videosdematt]

At 15:30 the frame rate available is only 25 fps?

[@EatSleep360]

For 360 you’ll only be given the option of the frame rate you shot it in - this was shot at 25 frames per second - it should have been 30 for the purpose of the video but I must have selected my default setting when I recorded.

When shooting Timelapse, Timeshift and Starlapse - what ist the result? Hundreds of photos, or a video?

[@EatSleep360]

Timelapse and timeshift create videos. Starlspse takes photos but can be processed as a video using shot lab.

[@wiljanssen3174]

Thanks for the great video. Quick question...can you edit the 360 footage and perform the reframing in a tablet (android or ipad) in landscape? I really like the app, but on a phone screen its very difficult. And unfortunate the insta360 studio software in windows is limited in functions like the lab shots. I really want to use the app on a tablet in landscape. Can you help?

This is something that people have wanted for a while and it’s still not available as far as I know

Will it connect to other wireless bluetooth headphones or just airpods?

Only AirPods as far as I know

[@CraftyClaire75]

I'm doing all this but every time there's no recording what am I doing wrong? It's not showing in the app either

[@EatSleep360]

Maybe a faulty memory card or faulty camera - it’s rare for the camera not to record at all. Try putting the card into a desktop to see if there are any files on it.

[@GrahamBakerGBP]

Been following your videos about the One RS and decided to buy one. However, out of the box I've had all sorts of issues trying to connect to the phone. Tried different phones and all the advice on Insta360 support until they told me to return it 😔 Having now looked around on forums it appears that I'm not alone in having problems with connecting the camera. I've returned it for a full refund and now debating to "try" again and hope that it was just bad luck that I'd landed one from a bad batch! Do you have any thoughts (or have heard of others having connection issues) or have evidence of reliability/connecting etc ? I still love the idea of the camera but my confidence has been put off - So your thoughts would be welcome Graham

[@EatSleep360]

Hi Graham, sorry to hear you’ve had trouble. I know there have been a lot of issues in the past with android phones so I’m not sure whether you have tried both android and iPhone. It’s worth posting on the insta Facebook page to see if others have had the same issue with your particular phone. I have an iPhone XS and have had the occasional Issue where I’ve had to press join a couple of times but never where it wouldn’t join at all. On occasion I have had to select the cameras WiFi from my phone which has been a workaround when there were connection issues. Also when you first connect sometimes you have to put in the camera WiFi password which is 88888888. If you do buy again definitely go to Amazon as you’ll find it easier to return. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

[@GrahamBakerGBP]

Thanks for taking time to respond@@EatSleep360 other than try iPhone I tried a lot of your suggestions. I couldn't try the direct WiFi connection as I couldn't even see it as an available device. The support told me to return it to be checked further as they talked me though loads of checks too. I've decided to order another and fingers crossed it was a duff core and the new one will be fine 🤞

Hi thx for the video but unfortunately I don’t have to watch the hole video as I guess there’s no way you can charge extra batteries from a power bank while out on your adventure if it has to be connected to the other modules and for that reason I’ll not be buying this camera

If you have the dual charger you can plug a powerbank into it via usbc and charge on the move

So what if you don't have a smart phone?

[@EatSleep360]

You need a smart phone to use the camera otherwise you can’t update the camera firmware and you have to do this the first time you use it. Once updated I suppose you could use it without a smartphone but you’d have to edit everything on a desktop computer which is very limited compared to the app. You may be able to download the camera updates from the Insta360 website.
