INSTA360 ONE X vs. GOPRO FUSION: Which Is Better?

[@Tekgila]

One X is my choice

[@BenClaremont]

Nice 👍

[@華迪克]

Tekgila Me too

[@PhotoshopTutor101]

Thanks for the video. I used 3 fusions for a job and thought the work flow couldn’t have been easier. Render time for the final output was also fine but that’s cause my computer is decent as you mentioned.

[@BenClaremont]

Nice! I’m sure you got great results

[@BartAchilles]

Both cameras are really close and because of the points that you mentioned at the end (workflow, price, updates...) the ONE X clearly wins in my eyes. Thanks for that video 👍🏼

[@BenClaremont]

No problem!

[@akenaldinho]

@@BenClaremont I am very budget limited, please help me select between go pro hero 6 black & Akaso pro special edition??!😓

[@eugeneazores6631]

one x

[@miltongarciaoliveirajunior4355]

Hi ... how câmera is better for virtual tour ? which one do you recommend among all 360 Cameras ?

[@MikeBoening]

Great comparison Ben. I had the Fusion last year and sent it back because of the workflow alone. Just too complicated for someone who likes to shoot and spend as little time as possible in processing mode. I am also a big believer in the size and tripod mount with the way I use the camera.

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks Mike- yes the workflow is such a big factor!

[@Justinline]

Ben . . . What software can GoPro Fusion images be edited on now that Fusion Studio is discontinued? I just had it working on an older Mac OS version, but now it won't even open up. Have you heard about this? I know I have to upgrade but I was hoping to get a little more life out of my Fusion. GoPro lets me down again.

[@ChristianHampshire]

I just sold my fusion for the one x for two reasons. Post-processing became too big of a hassle for me. I ended up not carrying my fusion with me that much because it took too long to render footage. Also, I don't think GoPro will be updating the fusion going forward. The word on the street is it is getting the ax so I decided to sell it now before the resale takes a hit.

[@BenClaremont]

Nice 👍

[@itsryanwilkes]

I've heard a fusion 2 is on it's way this year.

[@arsalaankhawaja5939]

I already own a GoPro hero 8. Would it be best to get the fusion to keep the color scheme and video quality? Fusions are now cheaper then the intsa 360 one x

[@fathertime209]

Can these connect via Bluetooth? I’m thinking of using one of these as a security camera while camping out of my truck. Just so I could quickly turn them on in the middle of the night to see what’s outside in a live view. Also in live view, can you look one direction or the other?Any suggestions? I have a Google pixel 3...

[@cupidstunt1975]

Ben, the Fusion and the 360X are now virtually the same price here in the UK....which do you recommend at the same price point?

[@BenClaremont]

One X

[@amermeleitor]

Can you use only one lens? For photo or slowmo video, i think could be an advantage, less CPU and processor usage

[@SimiTravels]

3:50 YOU TRICKED ME ... ahaha i was just about to say " well pictures on gopro are better.. and that's insta360 one x, LOL !!!

[@BenClaremont]

😂👍

[@tiagocp2]

Ben, i have that gear 360 and thinking a lot in buying the insta 360 one x, major because all of you said here.. the only problem is the price. In Brazilian Reais it is even expensive. So, my question is: is it possible to use the insta 360 one x app with the movie files of other cameras, like the 360? And about resolution is it so much better the one x than the gear 360? And that hyperlapse with blur effect, is it possible to do with premiere or with the insta 360 studii? Thank you so much for helping a lot of 360 photographers..

[@BenClaremont]

Nah you need the One X to use the One X app 👍

[@HDscreenerX]

We have been using GoPro Fusion for a year. We were shooting mostly jet skiing videos until accidently we have lost the camera in the ocean. Fusion despite of its flaws was the best 360 camera for me on the market, even today. Now I have to get a new one, been researching INSTA360 ONE X. Easy workflow is important, but I would rather sacrifice that for the better, sharper video quality. For those who consider buying Fusion, just want to say that you don't have to have an extremely fast PC to make it work. I've been doing all my edits on i7-3770k 16gb RAM, SSD, GTX 680

[@BenClaremont]

Nice! Yes I’d say that’s the bare minimum for a decent workflow speed 👍

[@wkaemena]

The one X has the form factor like the Theta and can be carried in a spectacle hard case in your trouser pocket. Safe and handy. I got my ONE X yesterday.

[@BenClaremont]

Good to see you here Willy! Yes I think your Theta V has some tough competition 🤣

[@TheCowjai]

Would you mind giving us some advise on the accuracy of its color regarding the one X. Would it be quite horrible without processing?

[@drobinsingh1]

Amongst all the 360 cameras, is this the best when it comes to night / very low light 360 pictures and videos? Secondly, is this by default a waterproof camera? Or does it require a housing ?

[@BenClaremont]

Already answered your question on another video

[@xguy9999]

I made the jump and got the one X, thanks for showing why this camera is the best.

[@BenClaremont]

Glad to hear it!

[@MichaelDanks]

Hi Mr. Ben... you say the Fusion does not shoot LOG/RAW but it does have Pro tune which gives you better dynamic range? Ne c'est pas?

[@BenClaremont]

It does have a (kind of) log option but it’s colour corrected automatically which I believe you can change

[@barrygarfield2203]

Thanks Ben. I have the One and am tempted to upgrade to the one X but think I’ll wait 3-6 more months to see if they get better both with software and firmware.

[@BenClaremont]

Don’t wait too long.. the next One may be out by then haha

[@AuthenTech]

Hey nice vid. Suggestion: keep the same camera on the same side (left or right) throughout the video. Sorta confusing as they flip-flop throughout

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks, although I don’t think I did that

[@eastskate639]

Omg

[@LifeWithStiel]

It was confusing though… this comment is underrated

[@ThulsZ]

I just returned my GoPro fusion after using it for 10 days. Fusion's color and dynamic range are so good that I wasn't able to return but their fusion studio's performance made me return the device.

[@BenClaremont]

👍

[@ssjpropics]

Great video, I have a question though, is GoPro fusion still good for 2024?

[@rubencruz0106]

another question, in 2019 how big of an improvement have you seen in the xone? is it still comparable to the fusion or which camera has become better

[@jimh1822]

I know this would not be ideal but with the Insta360 One X, if you do not have access to a smart phone, can you still download your video directly into a computer and use the software to edit from your desktop?

[@BenClaremont]

Yes you can although it’s going to be more difficult

[@daveyking9920]

Firstly, love your channel- very informative, objective, and I've learned a lot! Since the OneX has better slo-mo, would you say it is better for action videos as well? I like to record white-water rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, and more so would like to know your thoughts on which camera for activities like that. I've found sometimes when you enter shadows/ shade from trees and a decent velocity, my Gopro Hero 5 takes a while to adjust so some of the video will be really dark. Which of these 360 cameras do you think would handle that situation best?

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks David- to be honest I don’t have too much more to add than what I said here.. I don’t do extreme sports myself so my instinct would say the One X because of the workflow although you’ll obviously need an underwater housing if shooting underwater

[@joejacobsen6874]

Ben you nailed this one perfectly. I have both cameras and there is so little in the image quality. But the apps are miles apart. I love the OneX app, the way that everything can be done on the phone as well as the additional editing features. The OneX is my goto camera now.

[@BenClaremont]

Very true!

[@CierraFaith]

Question?? I am leaning toward a one X, but now the Fusion is magically cheaper. Can Fusion footage be edited with the one X Software? I use it to edit my Samsung 360 video.

[@rameshsk702]

Hi i've seen somewhere the workflow is better with the One x, now that i've got the One x i can say yes it's easy and fast on iphone x in my case. But the export is only 1080p. So i've got a question due to my use of The samsung gear vr glasses. i was able to export a 360 video with my mac at 5760 × 2880 resolution, but my samsung phone doesn't accept the codec after a 3 hours conversion, in 4k it works like a charm; any idea abouty the settings to keep that high resolution and watch it with my VR gear ?

[@iamnaii3538]

Thank you for testing. I'm deciding between these two.

[@BenClaremont]

👍

[@RelaxingReality]

The One X looks cool. I have the fusion and love it! I’ve used it to shoot all kinds of theme park rides/ attractions at Disney and Universal Studios posted to my channel. Yes, it takes time to process video but I think the quality/end-result speaks for itself. It’s also handy that it is waterproof without a casing and the 360 audio (when rendered in Premiere correctly) is amazing 🙂.

[@BenClaremont]

Agreed 👍

[@bthunder6018]

Id like to know more about the audio. 360 audio?

[@fabianmaldonado2478]

Outstanding!

[@johnwixted6979]

So now the price is the same - Fusion now at 450, OneX at 399. Is the added workflow hassle justified for the Fusion? Or still go with the OneX?

[@BenClaremont]

I’d still go One X

[@BikeTall]

Very cool. You helped me decide which to get. Since i use primarily a mobile work flow editing on my ipad pro, looks like it’s the insta 360 for me! When did the insta 360 one x come out? Last year? Do you think they will come out with a new version this year? Thanks!

[@BenClaremont]

Cool- it came out in September, which is when they usually come out with new models :)

[@BikeTall]

Ben Claremont hey thanks! Hmm. What improvements do you think they will add to the next model? Or what would be on your wishlist? I am gonna nab one now tho. Don’t think I can wait until September. Spring is just about to start, and life is happening now. Too much fun to be had to wait. 👍🏼

Given that the Fusion's price has dropped considerably, would you recommend it? Most comparisons bring up the price as an issue.

I’d still recommend One X purely for the workflow advantage 👍

Hi, I have a Motorola mobile, 4gb ram, Qualcomm 675, Android 9.0. It works well to edit insta 360 One X videos?

[@linnyunt]

As someone looking to add 360 to my vlogs, I think the One X is appealing due to price, user friendliness and shorter render times. I love the look of the bullet time feature of the One X too.

[@BenClaremont]

Cool

[@MrTonkersT]

Great comparison Ben, thanks. I just purchased the one x but hating it so far, poor stitch line, won't connect with my android phone, it does connect to my android tablet but the app software isn't compatible so no mobile work flow available. Very disappointing! I wonder if I maybe got a faulty unit?

[@BenClaremont]

Hi Joe, firstly you can calibrate stitching in the app, next it might be worth asking in the Facebook group about device compatibility.. it should be compatible with most recent-ish devices

[@SeanOzz]

I was enjoying the look of the fusion. Then when you posted the photo around 4:00 I was conflicted as I liked the overall look of the left photo. The detail in the road and coloring. So I thought well crap. The one x looks better for still photos. Then bamm. You dropped the labels and pulled a fast one. It turned out it was still the fusion I preferred. I always hate when I’m torn between two products and end up buying both. Lol. Though it sounds like workflow is better on the one x. Dang though. Even though the picture seems so much better in the fusion the price difference again leans me to the one x. Wonder which would be more durable for snowboarding? I assume both auto vanish the selfie stick or tripod.

[@BenClaremont]

Honestly I’d just suggest the One X for workflow alone.. also the price makes it an easier purchase. Check out my reviews of it :)

[@rapzeh4]

I can't believe you missed the waterproofing on the gopro. I'm looking for a 360 action camera for drifting and not being afraid of water is a big factor

I also brought the dive case for active protection and waterproofing and seems to work well with the app having a stitching option for above water use. The only issue is it cannot fully remove the dive case in the nadir. Also the camera works with the battery removed and USB power for those wanting long capture times.

@how to make a video, @Ben, and 360rumors, you guys are doing a great job to proliferate 360 cams. 360rumors has been very helpful in his comprensive write-ups and reviews as well as what you're doing. Keep the great contents coming. I've think I've narrowed my choices to 1x for small form fator, versatility, and seemily easy app workflow. It doesn't seem as good as Fusion video, especially in low light and protunes mode, but has all the other features Fusion doesn't have. Where I am stuck here is the total cost. Fusion is about $380-$430 while 1x is similar but I would need to add an external audio recorder and maybe dive case, which quickly adds up. I am looking at Zoom h2n (recommended by 360rumors) or h1/h1n or Olympus ls-p4, again for small form factor. Your thoughts on this? I have some questions I would like your advice on: 1) do you think Gopro will stop updating and/or developing further for Fusion? Any news or rumors? I tried reaching out to them but they're being vague, saying it's a great product and I should buy it (expected). But to qualify this, it's just someone in customer support & sales doing their job; 2) what's your confidence on HDR video for 1x (which might put 1x on par with Fusion) getting done as advertised as well as no stitching in premiere pro, & in camera video montage on app; 3) for workflow, do you find yourself using app (looks like 1x has advantage) more or desktop (seems difficult for both cameras but at your experience levels, I presume it's easier and faster to do)? Just want to get a feel for what I'm getting myself into as a beginner, first for personal reasons as an enthusiast and see if it can help me with my professional work (working on brand and design and can understand better how my outsourcing suppliers are using photos & videos to communicate the brand, keeping them checked). Appreciate your feedbacks and keep up the good work!

I felt burned by the Nikon Keymission, so took a long pause on 360. Had designs on a Fusion until I began hearing workflow stories. Just unboxed the One X today, and was very impressed immediately. Easy to link and use app, good image quality (although dynamic range iffy). Overcapture/aiming and extracting HD was simple. Took clip to Adobe Rush, and had quite a positive experience in mobile workflow. Using One X on a long pole gave drone-like results. Only negative is waiting for proper Insta accessories including selfie stick and additional batteries.

Has the Insta 360 improved the contrast of video with firmware updates? Looking at the side by side, it seems that the contrast is way better on the Fusion, but I like the other features of the Insta. With the Fusion coming down in price so much, price is no longer a factor. I don't have the most powerful laptop, a 16GB MacBook Pro (2017). Would that have any issues with rendering and stitching the Fusion footage?

[@adrianperez2085]

[@GadgetJohn]

Great video Ben 😎 As an owner of the Fusion I’m looking for a 360 camera that offers more, more features, easier editing, better stitching and better mobile/tablet editing. The biggest issue here is low light performance as the UK weather isn’t great for at least 6 months, so is it really that bad in cloudy or indoor lighting? My other use is for in car recording to capture not only the road ahead but the scene inside the vehicle, this is where great dynamic range is essential and also the ability to zoom in to produce a dolly zoom effect. So I’m wondering if you think the OneX would stack up against the fusion in the situations I use it in? Thanks 🙏

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks John- will experiment further.. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be able to handle those situations

[@dieard1]

Really good comparison. I have the X, it’s my first 360 camera and surpassed my expectations. Though still trying to figure best settings and upload options to KZbin.

I wish Insta360 had a case similar to Fusion. The included pouch is too tight and already see some vertical lines over the lens after only a few days of using it.

[@BenClaremont]

Interesting.. I haven’t. If it was looser it would fall off more easily, but maybe a zip would have been a good thing. You can always get a third party case if you don’t like it :)

[@visuals.by.pereira]

The video footage of Insta is so flat out of the camera in your review. How easy it is to color correct in post? Can I do it in mobile app or do I have to use laptop? And does Insta shoot video in HDR or is it photo only?

[@BenClaremont]

It’s easier to colour correct when it’s not LOG. You can do it on mobile and apparently they are working on HDR video

[@andrewkowach7250]

The One x has a lot of great features, I own one right now. I am going to filming weddings in 360 so unfortunately the One X losses here. The color quality is so much better and isn't that what is most important in filming? So for me, I go for Fusion because of the high res and color quality. thanks for your dedication Ben!!!

[@BenClaremont]

Actually it’s improving all the time with recent firmware updates.. I wouldn’t rule it out entirely :)

[@RyanDouthit]

The One X is a consumer camera. If you want/need color that meets professional requirements you need to get an Insta360 Pro or some other pro-level equipment. I own the One X and I think both it and the Fusion have pretty awful color for professional application. I wouldn't professionally sell it as a service. That said, just like normal GoPro footage - you can get away with inserting it into a more upscale production if you limit its use and use it smartly. I was hoping the Insta360 would be good enough to replace one of my DSLR's for Google Street Tours, but it's not even close in color and resolution.

[@LBrushane]

The new Insta360 looks like a great camera, actually considering buying one! I was thinking about the Xiaomi mijia sphere before. Would you say the new insta360 is a better camera? (I know it's more expensive, but that's OK for me)

[@BenClaremont]

Yes I’d say so!

[@clouddrive8480]

Finally, a great comparison between these two cameras! I have the option to buy an open-box Fusion for almost the same price as the insta360 One X (485 EUR vs 476 EUR). In this case should I go for the Fusion? I have a powerful PC and prefer the audio from the GoPro but I’m afraid that the camera is abandonware and stuff like HDR will never be added... I’m undecided. What do you recommend? Also, can you please make a video tutorial on how to edit a TimeShift like footage in Premiere (adding motion blur and speed ramps)? Thank you! Keep up the good work!

Cloud Drive check out insta360’s community on Facebook. You won’t regret buying the One x. Better workflow and fast support

[@BenClaremont]

Yeah I’d probably suggest the One X for that ongoing improvement factor.. and timeshift is done in the app at the moment, see my last video :)

[@asuspace]

Who takes photo from 360 camera? My insta one x will get delivered tomorrow.. i am so excited.

[@BenClaremont]

You do!

[@DominikNajberg]

Your reviews are beyond awesome!

[@sadekjohn8616]

[@BenClaremont]

Huh?

[@TWINS_BEBOP]

sorry😊 When shooting in Insta360one x camera 5.7K mode, what is the resolution based on normal action cam? Is it similar to a 1080p FHD resolution? 5.7k=1080p Resolution Quality? 4k=720p Resolution Quality? When shooting in Insta360one x camera 5.7K mode, what is the resolution based on normal action cam? Is it similar to a 1080p FHD resolution? 5.7k=1080p Resolution Quality? 4k=720p Resolution Quality? In fact, is the insta360 5.7k shooting similar to the 1080p video quality of Gopro7 ActionCam?

[@BenClaremont]

Yes that’s correct

[@evanbellen]

This is the one I wanted to see to decide. Thanks Ben!

[@BenClaremont]

Cool 😎

Hi Ben, any comments on audio quality on the One X? I’m currently on latest public firmware and app versions and to be honest, audio is so bad it’s making video unusable out of the camera. Is this common or do I maybe have a faulty unit?

[@BenClaremont]

Mine isn’t bad.. do you have the very latest firmware? They’ve improved it with that

[@lrkx_]

Ben Claremont thanks for letting me know. Suspect it’s actually an audio sync bug in the app, as it’s only happening on the phone, not on an iPad I just tested with the same file. cheers!

[@gus360degrees8]

Thanks for the video Ben, very helpful, I noticed than in the Insta360 one X videos appears a little red light point in the sunny days, I have a Fusion and I was wondering in buying the 360 One X just for the app but I have a question, if you export your videos from fusion in mp4 can you import to use in the 360 One X app? I did it in Rico theta app and is great

[@rishikhettry]

Can I take standard video footage from fusion model. ? 360 degree footage is not something I will need all the time.

[@BenClaremont]

Yes of course.. this is called over capture

[@luxtecnologia6]

Good job! Excellent comparison. Thanks!

[@LA_USA]

I would like to see a comparison of GOPRO FUSION with modern 360 cameras

[@ServamusGaia]

Any word on over heating? We film wildlife in the bush and deal with overheating sooooo much!

[@BenClaremont]

Neither of them should overheat after 30 minutes of recording :)

[@GabaVR]

Around 2:12 the colors are truly less saturated but I like the way how shadows look like on the other hand... This way I have the decision whether to make more contrast. And even as you said, the yellows and oranges had more red tone, it's only a second to correct during color grading. So I prefer the Insta look right now, but I can't wait to see my own footages do decide! :) One X is on the way! :)

[@BenClaremont]

Cool buddy!

[@daphotographysa]

Could you comment on the final edited footage...can it be uploaded to Google drive and as what type of file..? Is this file “flat” (ie. Once you have edited it is that it...?). Can you also upload the full file so the viewer choose which angle/view they want..? Thx.

[@BenClaremont]

There are 2 formats of 360.. 360 (interactive) and reframed 360 (not interactive). You choose :)

[@LML1235LM]

What mode are you suppose to record in, to get time shift on the One X using the app afterwards?

[@BenClaremont]

See my previous video- you can use any of them but 100fps is best for anything with slow motion

[@factionfx]

When you reviewed this, did the ONE X have HDR? (I am reading it may have came out after the release via a firmware update?). I'm thinking that may have helped a lot with the colors and washout.

[@BenClaremont]

No it didn’t.. so it will be even better now :)

[@tem8350]

Great video Ben, thanks for comparation. #question Can you connect to Google Street View and record blue line on map with this camera? Insta360 ONE X and GoPro Fusion ?

[@BenClaremont]

What do you mean by blue line?

[@tem8350]

@@BenClaremont Can someone answer the question? ☺

[@GuillaumeGourlaouen]

Hi Ben! What's the pole and the tripod extension you're using in that video ? Thx

[@BenClaremont]

Will make a video about it soon 👍

[@fro5ty208]

I always thought that the Fuaion was better until this video thank you

[@BenClaremont]

No worries 👍

[@BrianIrwin]

Hey Ben, very nice job. It reminds me I need to get my old Theta S out of mothballs. It is interesting how difference the sharpness looks for the One X in one-shot and auto-HDR. On your first scene they both look similar at 1000% but at the Arc de Triomphe the One X looks a lot softer. It would be interesting to know if that is down to something in the auto-HDR proceissing or maybe the longer exposure time for the over exposed shot. It could be an interesting test to try something similar with the One-X sitting on a solid surface so that your cool tandem 360 rig could be ruled out. Love the channel, hope that is not too nerdy, it looked very bright so I imagine the long exposure was still pretty fast (and you are doing a real-world test), but I think it could be interesting to narrow it down.

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks Brian! Those two examples you mentioned are different as the first is video and second is photo.. resolutions are much different and HDR lowers the clarity slightly 👍
