[@brianturner7098]

Best and most helpful Insta 360 One X video, no rambling or time wasting, Thanks!

[@djsepsis]

Thx for the vid Ben..exciting possibilities w the insta360 one x, keep em comin

[@starlingwatch3921]

Thanks for the great video. For #3, your colleague Shanil noticed removing the soft rubber end from the 10 foot long selfie-stick removes the black strip from the stitched seam. -Frank

[@todd.parker]

The tip to use quick capture is great! I find the display is basically impossible to see in daylight so being able to just long press and start shooting is perfect. Great video!

[@jaylamb218]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! Great video and a lot of help too!!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@yano1827]

U earned another likes!!! Awesome video as always Ben! Thanks for the tips!

[@AuthenTech]

👍

[@ANDJVisuals]

Hey Ben, thank you for the tips... With my previews 360 cameras I used to shoot the sun right at the middle of the camera to get same exposure on both lenses because there was no HDR before, now with this new insta360 camera I love that HDR option, so it will compensate the exposure in sunlight. Again, Thank you for the tip!!

[@WheretheJones]

With the HDR on you find facing 1 lens toward the sun produces better footage?

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

Nice video 🔥🔥🔥

[@fibrooutdoorsman2951]

Great tips! I just got an Insta360 One X and I'm taking it to Moab, Utah next week for a week of offroading and camping. This video couldn't have come at a better time! I especially will pay attention to the stitching lines, I never considered that before. It's blatantly obvious in your demonstration. Thanks!

[@AuthenTech]

Perfect timing! Have fun shooting

[@chrislauterbach8856]

Did Byrce, North Rim Grand Canyon and Zion years ago with a camcorder. Never made it to Moab. Please post some pure immersive One X videos of Moab.

[@jonlyu2666]

So hyped to use this cam for my vids! Thanks for these tips!

[@OliseForel]

What's the electric wheel device you are riding on called? Please put that in your links as well. Thanks in advance.

[@OrangKitai]

Thanks for the tips. I'm new with this 360 camera for my channel. Thanks again

[@Dcfinest79]

Are there any lens protectors for this camera for in use?

[@chrisdwyer1477]

I just bought one based on your review! Thanks for the tips Ben!

[@AuthenTech]

Awesome! There's so much to experiment and have fun with.

[@audifan201]

I have been following the Insta 360 camera for a little bit of time now. As well as Matterport a capturing camera. They cannow work together to create a 3d floor plan. Can you look at sharing how to do this and the costs associated with it?

[@AuthenTech]

Stay tuned! ;)

[@SoftwareAnalayst]

How do you get rid of the fish eye distortion?

[@WindowCleaningBluePrint]

Awesome tips

[@LucasMoralesNYC]

This review is still very helpful 4 years later 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

[@EchDeeSee]

THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL BRUH!., 😊👍🏻

[@AuthenTech]

Nice!

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks. I just ordered my one X and eagerly await delivery. I am hope it will help get dome interesting shot in the blacksmith shop

[@AuthenTech]

Nice!

[@JoeLarge]

I would like to know more please, think this changes the game for real estate and construction. Thanks for posting and dwelling on this subject.

[@AuthenTech]

Definitely experimenting in the real estate arena, so stay tuned for more!

[@pewwbz9647]

What stick is that? I like the tripod at the bottom.

[@aydouble7327]

Am I able to take a series of photos, with the Insta360 One X, around a person as they stand still, and create a 360° photo of that person by stitching all of the photos together?

[@tomytable1753]

Hi Been, where did you find the 360 studio for my Mac desk top computer? I have looked in the app store and nothing. Is there website you can show me?

[@gregsimmons1709]

Thanks for that short list. I’ve had my Insta360 One X for a couple of weeks now but haven’t had much time to play with it. The Quick Capture feature is exatly what I need! I find it really hard to read the display when in bright sunlight and I’ve missed some great opportunities. Learning, learning, learning. I hit that Subscribe button and notifications, of course!

[@AuthenTech]

Nice, thanks!

[@FadzliRealtor]

Hi is it possible when recording to keep the camera pointing straight rather than showing my face in the video when I make a turn? I can change the point of focus in the Studio app on Mac on Freecapture. However it won't be a 360 video anymore.

[@double07r21]

Which monopod are you using @0:44 for your cellphone? Thanks

[@AlexanderWinklerMr]

Well done, short, simple and useful :-) Thank you Alex

[@debalenalang09]

Do you need to have the Insta360 selfie stick to make it invisible or any selfie stick will do?

[@Azoresfishing]

can i record with my power bank plugged in if my battery runs out ? if i can do i do it with the battry inside or outside the camera ?

[@fishingexchange3742]

Hello, your 360 videos are cool.... I have a question please. I’m unable to maintain correct orientation of the insta360 one x view. I mean that the video image isn’t parallel to the ground and keep swinging. I adjust it manually but when I select a pivot point it tilts again.I already did the gyro calibration..!

[@AuthenTech]

Hm I'm not sure, did you contact support?

[@staytogether27]

Between Rylo and Insta360 ONE X which one you will recommend?

[@Awsom38]

Cool tips. What's the reference of the tiny tripod your one x is on plz ?

[@yassiramegarou9345]

The best ♥️♥️♥️

[@jarern]

Great tips! Thanks!!

[@Cartier.]

Thx for the tips!!!

[@AntiPattern123]

How to switch in timelapse mode between timelapse and normal mode? Do i have to shoot another normal video and edit it together? in timelapse mode I make a pic every 2 seconds. Does this work with the app only?

[@kush_terps5onig279]

What can you do to stop wind noice on the one X

[@TheJoeRides]

Great tips, thanks for sharing.

[@dennisgunn468]

I am looking for this editing application for my Mac mini I don't see it in the apple store or on the insta 360 site where do I get it?

[@ArmandsSprogis]

Hi Ben, have watched few of your insta360 videos. Mine is just about to arrive and trying to learn as much as possible. Did Isnta360 release that plugin for FCPx or is it easier now to edit in desktop Studio app and then add music, voiceover in FCPX? Thank you.

[@TheGeoDaddy]

Do you need to edit for focus perspective in Studio before Importing into FCPX? I tried to save the INSV files (000. and 010 pair for 5K) as 360 mp4 but they only come up as “fishbowl” mp4s in FCPX and I don’t see how FCPX can be used to set Perspective???

[@27hyatt]

Really useful! Thanks

[@xaviertube]

Awesome! Thanks for the valuable tips

[@wheretheresawheeltheresawa2379]

thanks for the great tips!

[@Olimp360]

Hello there! Thx for info, it’s useful. Do you know how to make photo from video files?! Stop moment? I’ll be very useful! And the second question - in app we can publish an album, but only from files in app, but if i stitched photos on the computer, how to do several photos into the album?!(

[@AuthenTech]

I think there is a "Photo" shutter button in the mobile app when watching videos, this will save a photo for you

[@nonathepomeranians7396]

Now tell me how to hyperlapse with the desktop app? Any way to do this with Premiere?

[@gareth5000]

Cheers, Quick start!

[@Thaicoen]

in the new app on my phone i not see Optimize Stitching so I can't remove the stitching line?

[@mountain-biker]

Hi Ben nice video, in the tips 9 at 4.00 what’s the best setting to obtain this blur effects ? thank

[@AuthenTech]

I use auto exposure settings, then use their mobile app to add the hyperlapse speed-ramp effect

[@sanketchakraborty9663]

Hey there, a small tip. How to keep shooting at a specific direction? It keeps changing sides automatic

[@luissalazarvidaentexas1030]

Nice! I got one and have not opened it yet.

[@AuthenTech]

Haha open it up and have fun!

[@hendrikarula8699]

you should make a review of the DHK Hobby Maximus.

[@greenish77]

Really great, to the point tips. I uploaded 4K 50fps straight from my phone to KZbin the other day of a shark dive and KZbin will only display max 1080 50fps. Not sure how to get the good quality on KZbin happening for me...

[@VadimMyVideos]

Is it normal that I can not zoom-In and Out while reframing and setting the pivot points with Inst360 App on my android cellphone? So disappointing :((( It was so easy with GoPro App, but GoPro Max does not have slow-mo... :(

[@ErwinMeyer_swerve_designs]

Can one use the Hyperlapse functionality using the desktop software (Insta360 Studio 2019)?

[@AuthenTech]

Not yet I think, but I heard the feature is coming down the line..

[@blazingnewtrailz]

Thanks for the video! I've looked at Amazon feedback for the camera and seen people complain the camera isn't compatible with Android phones. Is that true? I just ordered a Samsung S20 and I'm looking into videoing. Another video mentioned IPhone compatibility, so it really makes me question whether the Insta360 is right for Android. I love its capability, but don't want to make a mistake. I would welcome your feedback. Cheers!

[@Slau234]

Do you shoot in log with the One X at all?

[@AuthenTech]

Not too often ;) Unfort I don't have lots of extra time to play with grading

[@ilalgopro283]

Amazing in cool👍

[@bradjammin]

What’s the verdict on the audio quality?

[@Mohamed_Elshekh]

Hey ben which pole u usin at 0:16 ?

[@chan80s]

I got some starry night intervals shooting photos with my OneX. But I know don't if there any software can convert them into 360 time lapse video. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

[@AuthenTech]

Great question, I'm not sure. Let me know if you find a solution!

[@Patiboke]

Hiding the stitchline, good thinking!

[@christofbatens6944]

Can you Share Some lowlight footage ? Sunrise & sunset stuff. Thanks for the tips.

[@AuthenTech]

I'll keep that in mind next time, thanks

[@marcolaboria8888]

Can we edit the time (timeshift)? I cannot speed up the clip in the STUDIO MAC VERSION. Do you?

[@LilBigfootOverlanding]

You should try LumaFusion iOS app.. it’s like having Premier Pro on your iPhone/iPad! Just to list a few.. you can apply luts and complex color edits, animate with key frame, add up to 6 4K video layers and up to 12 audio layers, you can also add green screen chroma key out any color, create all kinds of cool transitions with a good size library of preset transitions, and one of my favs is the clipboard allows you to copy any edit from one clip to the next and you can also save edits to use on feature projects! Oh yea and you can reinject 360 metadata! Just to list a few😂 But seriously this app is awesome!

[@yeahchuan]

good video ~ :)

[@fdeaton]

Interesting! You're in Huntsville, Alabama. I just picked up the Insta360 One X.

[@athletictkdcenterpr]

Great, thanks

[@sculley5772]

Hey I'm thinking about getting a portable mini projector and I want to know which ones are the best??

[@AuthenTech]

Hm sorry, I'm not familiar with good ones

[@luftpanorama1936]

👍🙂 cool, thank you very much.

[@rhysadams]

Tip 7 is worth knowing

[@qvisionstudios]

Thanks for the tips Ben. Could you to a tutorial on editing the vids. Especially like to know how to transition from normal view to a tiny planet view. I haven't been able to figure it out in the Insta360 desktop software.

[@PatrickJohner]

You need to click on the FreeCapture Button just above the Video Window. Then there a yellow round cross icon will appear just under the video window on the left. Click on that and all viewing parameters will appear in the bottom left part of the App. I'm currently using version 3.3.2

[@daytopotatoh1331]

VERY CURIOUS Is it okay to use shore power for continuous shooting? I plug my gopro into a battery right now for long recording. Curious if this camera is able to.

[@AuthenTech]

Yes I think that is OK

[@Listedbyvalerie]

Great info!

[@AuthenTech]

Glad to help!

[@kapegede]

Thanks for your tips! To tip #9: How do you slow it down - or speed the shutterspeed up? While in timelapse mode I couldn't find a key combination to switch from 1 pic/s to 30 pic/s.

[@AlexCastignani]

nice tips.... i like that...

[@liketheyogurt]

How often do you actually film with this camera?

[@AuthenTech]

Almost every week. Been integrating it's footage into my youtube vids

[@liketheyogurt]

It looks like you can get some great footage with it. How tight can you zoom in to achieve a 1080p shot? It's hard to imagine it since it's spherical. Maybe you could do a video and show how much you can zoom in to get a 1080 shot or even a 720 shot.

[@richardradon]

I all ways take out the battery after charging to prevent discharge when not in use..

[@Seeitmove]

Thank you!

[@YTBraN]

Tip 13: Always make sure when laying your Insta360 ONE X on a flat hard surface (5:00) to always put it down on a protective soft case..otherwise you make risk scratching the lens which can result in an expensive repair or replacement. 😉

[@TechwheelswithPat]

1:10 if you take the plastic ring under the camera you will not see any spot :-) nice video.

[@wpgcelica]

So cool that Ryan Reynolds uses this camera!

[@myfriendjenonline7831]

Thanks

[@wissam1430]

thanks man

[@AuthenTech]

Happy to help

[@danielbcfernandes]

👏🏻thank you

[@AuthenTech]

👍

[@Basicbill]

Good tips. However, not sure I agree with number 1 when not shooting in HDR mode.

[@HiThisIsMine]

You need to remove that little foam bit on the end of your extension pole... it leaves a black artifact in all your pole shots

[@EcBaPr]

can you record for extended periods (ie: up to 5 hours non stop) with a USB battery bank supplying power ?

[@johnwong6535]

Physically yes, but the camera was heat up so fast and may be stop recording or give you warning about card speed problem. Even the worst case the camera was haulted and showing file saving, at the end you lost that piece of recordings. That's my recently experience for a trip at Europe.

[@gnormanhayes]

I have the same battery problem thank you I thought it was just me camera needs to be stored with the battery out of the camera or the battery will be destroyed three or four times after storing the camera battery was completely flat for I don't know how long which is really bad for the battery battery should be stored half charge 60% really bad for battery to store it flat with no charge

[@jithin000]

Thanks bro 👍

[@AuthenTech]

Thank you

[@jorgediaz1013]

Downtown Huntsville!

[@ErwinMeyer_swerve_designs]

So many other 360 KZbinrs advise to always face the seam line towards the sun for better/equal exposure on both sides, and you're saying the opposite. So which is it?

[@AuthenTech]

Ha, I think it actually depends on the scenario, lighting conditions, time of day, camera movement, etc. That's why there are mixed signals. Experiment and see what works best for you

[@ErwinMeyer_swerve_designs]

@@AuthenTech Will do thanks!

[@starlingwatch3921]

Tip #0 - Turn off all data on my phone before connecting to the One X. I use a OnePlus 5 (Android). I have to turn off Mobile Data and Bluetooth to get the One X to properly connect and stay connected to my phone. And, I have to tell the OnePlus version of Android OS to stay connected to the One X Wifi even though there's not Internet connection.

[@chinmaypattanaikk]

[@HandsONreviews4u]

Are you riding a One Wheel for the review and shot?🤔

[@AuthenTech]

No way man, electric unicycle ;)

[@turkimax1]

I'm not so sure about Item no. 1 as most 360 photographers does not recommend it...

[@sherri-theamimammie6415]

Sadly it seems tailored to apple users. The multiview option, for example, is missing from the app for android. -_-

[@AuthenTech]

That's bummer! It's one reason why I'm still "stuck" on iphone
