Insta360 One RS vs GoPro HEAVYWEIGHTS (Hero 10 & Max)

[@BCpov]

Always love seeing you on the channel Degju, always so authentic 🙂 Now Ryan: the million dollar question, will you switch to the One RS for The Loam Ranger channel?

[@runthejoules]

For my helmet-mounted camera and all reframed 360 shots, 100%. For chest mount, I want to play with the LOG color profile and see what I can get for dynamic range in the trees, but I’m definitely down with using it for the main camera and seeing how it performs all modded up like my GoPros. Ryan

[@runthejoules]

Thanks Eric! Someone's gotta bring the authenticity around here 👀 -Degju

8:15, what backpack do you guys use for the 3rd person view?

[@solo_jay]

This is one of the best, honest sounding videos with great comparisons that ive seen . Stuck between the MAX and the RS for motorcycle riding

[@chrisnielsen9885]

I've heard the gopro software sucks. insta has a 30 min recording limit with a maybe 20 second gap before it starts the next 30 min file

[@SuperSkrrrt]

i got both. def insta360. less headache in the long run and looks better imo

[@JordanBoostmasterRaw]

I'm curious how useful that older 1 inch wide angle lens would be with this one RS? Or is that outdated by the 4K boost lens?

[@runthejoules]

I’ll have to test that out this week, but Insta says you’ll get the better Flowstate stabilization with the new ‘brain’.

[@RidiculousRocketry]

Good information, well presented and solid presentation. I'm using the 360 RS as part of a 3-camera solution for recording my motorcycle rides.

[@runthejoules]

Nice! I’m sure it’s working well for that.

[@sijiexia3371]

I have the insta360 one x and it's really cool seeing how it's evolved during the years!

[@runthejoules]

Definitely! They’ve come a long way.

[@JosephMyLife]

So what you are saying is that the new Insta 360 1 rs is almost as good as the old (soon to be replaced) GoPro 10 black. You mentioned the quality of video and audio and stabilization being better on GoPro but you would recommend others to get insta360?

[@098Chris]

Great video, thanks for the solid comparisons. The day the One RS was announced, I sold my Hero 9 and ordered it. Should be arriving in a few days. The 48mp stills is huge for me, since a big part of my usage is wide reefscapes when i'm snorkeling/freediving.

[@EriX88888]

how is your user experience? im planning to get one, i want to use it for snorkeling but because of the modular design im still concerned, did u use yours with a dive case?

[@098Chris]

@@EriX88888 I haven't found an easy place to order the dive case yet.... And the 360 dive setup seems like a disaster! Honestly I think it's a total wash between the RS and GP10. The 10 is easy easier to just turn on and use, and get good results with. The RS has more potential but it's pretty fiddly, and I'm not sure how rugged it is yet.

[@EriX88888]

@@098Chris thanks for the reply, im keen to try out this 360 one rs because of the 2 in one package which include the 360 camera that can be quite interesting, however im wary of the bad aftersales service, warranty, and the waterproof issues without the dive case, what makes this funnier is i saw all the insta360 reps telling ppl to use it with dive case and i cant find it listed anywhere except the official website... on the other hand gp10 has the overheating issues as well, really cant make up my mind, after your usage what do u think?

[@098Chris]

@@EriX88888 I took mine with the 360 lens freediving a week ago and it was just fine without a case, but the images were useless. Because of the curved lenses it cannot focus underwater without a dive housing. The video and still images were all out of focus and the stitch lines were really weird. Completely unusable without a housing... Unfortunately the housing and the vertical battery adds about $150 to the cost!

[@EriX88888]

@@098Chris nice insight, i have read somewhere that 360 lenses are generally not useful in underwater situation, im guessing something to do with the light refraction between the lens and also the water, i think it is better to get the 4k dive case instead, and also i heard the 360 mod is not really waterproof, anyway i think maybe i will go for the safer option which is the go pro or dji osmo action (1st gen) where the dive cases are readily available, hmm

[@amgoatee3700]

Hi Ryan, want to know how long (in minutes) does the One RS can record in one shot compare to the Gopro 10 Black or Gopro Max. Cheers

[@Lee0076]

Do you know i you can turn off the Horizon lock on the one RS with the 360 lens?

[@basictoglamchictravels]

I have the Gopro10 and and I've been using it for long vlogs and it's the best in terms of stabilisation and clarity but it's only flaw is when you go into a dimly lit room, it's shaky and I'm going crazy thinking if I should redo the video. How does the ONE RS work in low lighting? Is it stable?

[@B1KER]

I'm really curious to see what GP brings this fall.

[@effie2206]

Some really great clips, especially the 360 snow run, but I didn't see you do a lot of actual comparable shots with the two cameras. In any case, competition is always good.

[@simonwyndham]

I've yet to publish my own review. However I have found that the image quality of the RS is better than the R. The 1-inch Mod with the new Core and the sharpness set to Low looks really good, and on the 360 mod, you can get a nice, natural, yet still sharp image with the sharpness on low. From my own tests the new core with the 360 mod is definitely capturing more fine detail than the old one, and the stabilisation now throughout is very good indeed (and seems to have improved with the latest release firmware). I haven't quite had the same experience regarding the windproofing for the mics though, but I'll be doing more tests on that.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Agreed! Insta told us to set the sharpness to Medium, but that was definitely too crunchy. The Low setting looks quite nice though and not over sharpened. We still need to try out the 1 inch mod, but I'm expecting good things. The wind reducer is a bigger deal for me (Ryan) due to how much POV mountain bike footage I capture and how I've always had to mod my previous cameras. It doesn't get rid of all the wind, but it does help! Looking forward to your review, Simon. 🍻

[@simonwyndham]

@@TheLoamRanger Finally I got around to filming the review. Not as polished as you guys! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3OsaWCphslgaZI I also put together a white water sequence. Love using the 360 mod for POV! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJjWdGV-jZKMl8U

[@basictoglamchictravels]

How does the ONE RS perform in low lighting? The Gopro10 is terrible in low lighting otherwise its perfect in normal lighting 👌

[@themediaclinic]

My ONE R got fogging inside the 360 lenses after about a year of use. My supplier sent the cam to Insta360 and after 6 months of no resolution my supplier gave me a refund. I upgraded to the ONE RS, which stopped functioning after 3 days of water use. I'm sticking with GoPro from now on, even if I have to carry 2 cams instead of one.

[@nonjaninja4904]

I wish people could condense these reviews to like 3 minutes or make a no attention span bullet point version. Just fly through the pros and cons and compare it to the best thing on the market, whether that's GoPro or whatever.

[@Actually_Homeless]

How do you mount it to your back

[@armando2004]

I have the one R and my biggest turn off is that there is no metering. I use the camera mostly for in car driving and I end up with a over exposed front window. Does the RS add metering? Almost ready to go back to gopro at this point.

[@pucs82]

Interesting question. Is this with the 4k lens or the 360 you’re having this over exposure issue?

[@armando2004]

@@pucs82 the 4k, 360 and 1 inch. Ive searched KZbin and Google for metering options to no avail .

[@pucs82]

@@armando2004 I’m considering purchasing the One RS so I’m wondering about this as well. I see some persons open the app after setting up the camera to see what the video looks like before recording. Maybe the app has options to help with the lighting? HDR setting possibly?

[@armando2004]

@@pucs82 ive gone through the app and although HDR is nice I haven't seen anything to help with the metering. The camrea overall is great but for my main use the meter is a big plus since I use the camera to record track days. If your not using the camrea to look out the window of a car you should fine. You can use the manual feature if the lighting outside the window will not change.

[@gavinmaloney6773]

Excellent thorough comparison guys 👊🏼

[@runthejoules]

Thanks Gavin 🍻

[@DanFarrar]

Curious if the one rs can shoot different aspect ratios IN camera. I’m looking for 4;3 aspect ratio inside camera. Thank you. Great review

[@runthejoules]

I know you can shoot 4:3 without stabilization, but I'll have to dig into the camera menu to see if stabilized 4:3 is possible. 16:9, 2.35:1 and 4:3 are the three I know of.

[@DanFarrar]

@@runthejoules thank you ❤️ If it is stable could you let me know? Thanks friend

[@DocNinja1]

Is there a diving mount or something for the one rs?

[@runthejoules]

There’s one for the 4K single lens setup, yup.

[@abramig]

I have had both the list 360 One RS and the insta 360 X2. underwater with the 360 ​​module it is not possible to use the cameras without the original case. images are blurry and lacking in detail. but even with the 4K module I had problems it doesn't have enough image definition. I used the 4K module without a case and the image was not as good as the GoPro 8 I had. so I would say that today GoPro is much better for underwater shooting.

[@JEANMTB]

Thanks for sharing this! How wide can you go with flowstate on in camera? Is it as wide as a gopro in wide?

[@runthejoules]

From what I can tell, “Ultra-wide” on the ONE RS is nearly identical with to the “Wide” FOV on GoPro. That’s with any of their Flowstate settings applied (the crop doesn’t change when you change stabilization strength).

[@JEANMTB]

@@runthejoules hey thanks for the information! My hero7 is on its last leg, and I've found I really like the wide angle look so that's at the for front of my thoughts when thinking about my next action cam. The DJI Action 2 looks super tempting, but I can't stand the form factor. Either way, thank you for your input and help!

[@RonenLin]

The major issue I've read about the Insta360 cameras and it has nothing to do with the hardware itself is the return/warranty. People claim the the company has a horrible return policy & warranty. GoPro is a well known brand and seem to give a much better service in that regards.

[@tmac9127]

I have a GoPro 9 and Insta360 One X2 - is it worth making the jump in your opinion?

[@jdalsII]

Same question for me.

[@runthejoules]

I’d say that if you don’t use Superview often on the 9, then it would be a solid change over. This way you only need to bring one type of battery and less stuff in general. It’s a tough call!

[@tmac9127]

@@runthejoules that was one of the things I was thinking was an awesome pro. You get the action cam and 360 in one. I was wondering if I would end up missing more shots if I have to swap the module rather than starting the 360 and GoPro 9 at the same time. How do you usually shoot to avoid issues like that? Do you have a certain time when you switch lens during the shoot? I do a lot of sports shoots so wondering what you might recommend for something like that if you had all these cams at your disposal.

[@midlifeshredder]

Great video guys however this release kinda fell flat for me. The only thing that stood out was the HDR mode which looks great but I don't think it will make me switch. My Hero 10 with the media mod and lens mod gives me the width I like and the audio options with the media mod is 2nd to none. No other company has come close to creating clean audio. Sure, it adds bulk and weight but when compared to the RS they're about the same size. Again, great video, looking forward to more!

[@runthejoules]

For sure. It’s nice to have all these options for so many specific use cases.

[@midlifeshredder]

@@runthejoules For sure, I applaud them for making a camera that combines two for the price of one. But it's still going to take a huge leap for Insta or DJI to supplant GoPro... I enjoy watching them try! I actually love the Action 2 image stabilization better than the Hero 10, love the magnetic system and everything but that dang audio is horrid!

[@wilmerbong]

I didn't even know there was an Insta360 One RS coming out! I was just waiting for the next iteration of the Insta360 GO to come out but this is pretty sweet! @Degju - We going to hike up the 4 canmore peaks with this!? If all the batteries are backward compatible we just need enough people with Insta360 products to rotate in the batteries 😂 @Ryan - I love your video qualities. Definitely top notch!!! Keep up the awesome work. When's my mug going to make a cameo? 😋

[@runthejoules]

Definitely makes for an easier day carrying this camera vs your DSLR 😂 -Degju

[@ivangregorovic9268]

Hello guys, first of all thank you for the great review!!! I need help. I am a cyclist. I ride 70% on the road and 30% in the mountains. I am a cycle tourist, I enjoy discovering new places, photographing monuments and highlights, etc. So far I have photographed monuments, nature, simply highlights with my cell phone. If I do this with my cell phone I either have to stop or do it while driving, which is often dangerous!!!!!!!!!! A) I'm looking for an alternative, namely a camera on the helmet or on the chest. I take photos while driving (with a cell phone or remote control), but I want to see them immediately after I take them. E.g. On the display of the mobile phone attached to the handlebars of the bicycle, whether the photo is OK, etc. B) Alternatively, I would also like to make a video and later take out the pictures using some program. What is important to me is that the photos must contain GPS data, otherwise the Komoot app will not accept them. I also want the photos to be at least reasonably high quality. But I fear that removing them from the video will compromise quality. I would also like to say that I stay on my bike for 4-6 hours and it is a problem to create 4K videos (battery life, overheating, etc.). Can someone please advise me which of these two cameras (gopro 10 or insta 360 4k edition) do you recommend for my purposes? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RidingWithAxel]

Nice video

[@neho_itme]

Insta360 is the new gopro !

[@ashwinslens7588]

Yo wat bout the battery life? I hardly get 40 mins in my old one r

[@runthejoules]

After 4 hours of on and off shooting out in the cold wind, the One RS still had 45% left in the battery. So a definite improvement over the last one.

[@KNURKonesur]

See to me the GoPro was never on the throne. It's image quality has always been garbage, the extreme wide angle looks unrealistic, distortion is through the roof... and I'd like something a bit more narrow but still wide angle that gives good image quality and doesn't distort everything like crazy. I was kinda into the Sony RX0 II to be honest, but it's so old and still incredibly expensive that I'm kinda interested in the Insta360 One RS 1", but nobody really talks about it in detail... Everyone just focuses on the aspects that are GoPro-like, not the ONE aspect that sets the RS apart from every other action cam.

[@LakeHowellDigitalVideo]

In our experience, literally everyone makes a better camera than GoPro. I swear GoPro has a patent on locking up, blanking SD cards and black screens. They build the worst pieces of crap -- both Insta360 and DJI cameras are infinitely more reliable. Heck, even cheap ass Akaso's work better.

[@PowerFisherman]

Tired of the GOPRO illusion. Selling cameras that overheat and destroy memory cards. I got the One RS because at 24 FPS the camera doe not overhead and keeps on till the batteries run out.

[@rickmbp]

Sorry, but I’m cutting ties wherever I can to the USA’s #1 enemy in this area. China. I don’t want to tie myself to hardware (and editing software as well) that’s all made (stolen) and supported from China. GoPro is USA made and supported. I’ll stick with their products.
