Hello cris How are you? Could you help me step by step to be able to use the insta to transmit live by skype connecting it to my tablet or to my iphone please? Thanks a lot.

Subscribed! I’m getting mine next month. This was so helpful!

[@heathrutherford]

This has to be the best tutorial hands down! 👍🏼👍🏼Thank you for your step by step!

[@LK-bz9sk]

When I was a kid we had Kodak Instamatics with that magnesium square rotating flash build. I thought that was Buck Rogers level stuff.

[@ofthebrave9194]

Best comparison and settings video I've found for this camera yet.

[@quark288]

Very comprehensively covered various options in the insta360 x2 camera. Thanks helped a lot

[@thekiteflyer1]

Cheers Chris, this was really handy as I've just got the X2, you've now got a new subscriber

[@lukebohemian]

Just ordered ours, saving this for later when it arrives :D thanks for the tutorial.

[@BillBooz]

Thanks, Chris. Waiting for my Insta360 ONE X2 to arrive and this was a very handy orientation to the camera. Sure I’ll replay after trying out the camera.

[@surendrarajani]

Thank you so much for this video! My son is today got me this camera for my birthdayToday….. Good tutorial, can't wait to try it.

Very helpful video. Thanks. The scrolling circle in playback that you point around 7:00--if you grab it, you can rewind/fast forward.

[@truthseeker6804]

cool. your comment was very beneficial .

[@88catfish]

Thanks. I am waiting for my camera and lucky to go through it now. Best regards.

[@NewMind-cs1eh]

my dream camera, I really want a camera (insta one X2), but I don't have money to buy it, nice video

[@ourholmfamily]

Great video walk-through. I used it as a refresher as I hadn't used my one x2 for a bit and had forgotten what some of the icon buttons were for. You were very thorough and explained some details I had never come across in other videos.

[@parveezsaligh9248]

I’m glad I found your video. Got to know my camera inside out. Thank you.

[@theom9192]

Great video - really well communicated and easy to learn step by step!

[@TheTechofTech]

Very helpful visual demo of the settings!

[@EffingtonCouldBe]

My favorite videos in Oculus Quest 2 are the 180 degree vids... does this thing shoot 180? Or always in 360 mode or 150? Thanks, great video man.

[@Nethseaar]

If you film in 360 mode, you can reframe to any FOV you'd like when editing, including 180.

[@martinpotts3460]

Brilliant: just what I needed.

[@victoriarogers3412]

Hi, I have a question I really hope you can help me with. I purchased the Insta360 one x2 to use for real estate photography and all the interior photos come out bowed. Is there a way to fix that or a setting to keep it from happening that you can share with me? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Victoria

[@gotravelynne]

Thanks for this! Excited to get started

[@MarkBrewerFootballFreestyle]

Thanks for a great video! Any ideas for a cool football freestyle video?

[@dbain3175]

They should include a link to this video with every camera purchased! Thanks!

[@tholib1551]

With regards to the invisible selfie stick, if I want to mount it, how do I make the tripod under it invisible too? Or what is the best way to mount it and everything remains invisible?

[@PivotPixie]

this video was extremely helpful! Thank you sooo much

[@TopsMiah]

Great video. If you recorded in 3K 100 FPS. How can you make the video back to normal speed?

[@saswinteev6002]

[@uchithaaroshan8009]

[@chadas]

Nice and easy to understand video. I have a new Insta360 ONE X2 camera. But I can't use the Insta360 Studio 2022 software at all :( I install the program without any problems but after starting it only the start screen and the end appear :( I don't know what to do with it at all. the camera is useless to me :( Windows 10 operating system, 16GB RAM, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz. On this PC, I edit video in Adobe Premiere Pro, edit photos in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. I have no problems anywhere, only here. What could be the problem? Thank you.

[@Editson]

Can you realtime preview a tiny planet style video on phone as you are live? Or do you need to bring it into the software before you can produce it.

[@roscoboy]

You can on the x1 on your phone so can't see it being different. Not sure on the screen though

[@digitalvictory8266]

I see the seconds on the right side, but what does the 2:1 note mean at the 10:20 mark of your video ?

[@AlanBathurst]

excellent demo, thanks

[@jane-BKK]

Chris, how to adjust ISO on video format ? How to adjust it on the One X2 camera?

[@alingfepay9470]

Nice toturial

[@tobyreal6647]

Hot to you set the settings to where you shoot the selfie stick tracking / drone style video like you did at the beginning and the end of your video ? And if its 360 and you move it to where you are in the shot, how to you download it to where you stay ins the shot like you did so you can upload it to KZbin or watch it on your computer to where you stay in the shot ??

[@Dajlec]

Does the camera have a speaker or there is no audio when playback directly on the camera?

[@veesoho93]

Great video thank you!

[@tomballardnd]

This is very good. But before you can do any of this the camera software has to work. WHen I try to record, I get msg , "install software". What software? Also, cannot connect to android phone. No lessons in how to do this and Insta so far hasn't helped.

[@pucholo143]

Will you loose quality of you edit and export in the app? Or better to edit it at the insta360 studio on your MacBook?

[@sanbabilaandroid]

Hello brother, what do you think about the best settings to do videos for Instagram ? ( long time recording, colors, resolution and shatters)

[@luciedamase8159]

Hi Chris, thank you very much for this video. Can you tell us if insta 360 studio encode the insta 360 one x2 shots in Prores 422? Thanks for your answer

[@jordanestabrook4492]

Fantastic vid. Question: Am I missing something or is usb mode useless/broken? I've tried it with android and ios and niether seem to connect via usb. Downloading wirelessly takes forever, seems like that's our only option though?

[@harshagvd4266]

I have a few questions..would need your help 1. How does it work under the Glare of the Sun? 2. Sometimes when i shoot in the sun, i find Black glare in the video, does this happen with others? How to avoid it? In the Video when i look, i see half of the video as normal and half a portion as Glare/Black screen. 3. Is there anything you guys do, after taking a video? I like to enhance the quality and color of the video, because the video i take doesn't look like the Real HD view uploaded by people on KZbin.

[@TheCosmictraveller]

Excellent tutorial - thank you

[@alejandrohcanaveral5737]

Excelente muchas gracias el mas completo revisión qué hay en KZbin muchas gracias

[@stormense]

How do you back in the settings. I cant figure out. And when I start the camera every time it want to take picture.

[@RonnieCashman]

Great guide Chris. Do you know if the screen on camera stays on in starlapse or interval modes as it does on One R which is mega annoying as it destroys starlapse/startrails with blue light showing in them grr ?

[@Emuspaul]

I was looking for something like the Interval mode for taking pictures with my drone, since I can't use a shutter button, I want it to keep taking raw pictures. So you need to explain Interval.... Does it keep taking pictures? (Guess I will have to try it.)

[@enis.28i]

Hi ! How can I export a cinelapse in portrait mode, to post it as a reel ?? Thanks 😬

[@jakeeth2620]

Hey mate so the 150 degree and taking off the wide angle doesn't look very good, is it too grainy? I was hoping I'd be able to use it as a single lens can for more intimate or standard shots for travelling. That's a shame if it's that bad

[@gmk3698]

Chris, when we shoot video on 360 mode, it always Come with portrait format, can we set it to landscape format ? And If we already have the video 360 shot in portrait format, can we change it to landscape format so we could play it full screen at computer or presentation screen? Thank you

[@jillndaz]

nice one Chris

[@ZisimosZizos]

Perfect presentation!!

[@harvestingfunday7186]

Thank you great explanation

[@DanielPartzsch]

Great video, thanks a lot. Does the camera save all the brackets from HDR mode as separate files so that you can merge them later on in photoshop manually or are they merged into a single file right away? And I guess you can also setup the exposure brackets via the just like you demonstrated on the camera, right?

[@NICKs_HIGHTECH]

Very nice review. Can You use 150 degrees linear for both cameras at the same time? or even in post after?

[@ChrisSpice]

Nope you’re not able to do that unfortunately!

[@NICKs_HIGHTECH]

@@ChrisSpice If You use 360 video after in post can You do linear video for both cameras by selecting a part of the footage from both cameras? I mean if I use this for example to do an unboxing video and one linear video capturing me and a second video at the same time capturing the office that I unbox?

[@small-timegarden]

Is it possible to do flat picture shots? I'm hoping that it can do photos of me n my expected baby

[@FRANKWHITE1996]

One word. Brillant 🔥🔥🔥

[@andersonkalang]

How do you Hard Reset (reset to Factory Setting) on the One X2? There seems to be No Help on this anywhere online.

[@tierfilmer]

same question

[@Md-yy4cb]

Quick question how long can you record videos hyperlaps,regular and so on

[@ArielViera]

Excellent video!!

[@sfbluestar]

Is there a quick way to memorize how all these menu are organized? I haven't played with it a lot, maybe I will remember with a lot of practice, but for now I find it very hard to remember what menu is where... always have to look all over for something.

[@hawkliu]

hi, i have a question - can we record non stop videos as long as there is power? or does it stop recording after 30mins and then resume recording after it stops?

THANK YOU

[@thesoapful]

Do you have a guide for the app?

[@girginarda]

Thank you.

[@surat4k]

in auto mode, what EV and WB is best for higher quality footage??

[@DonNoveroVlogs]

Hi if you record on a 180 degree or the normal view what is the file format?? is it mp4 or .insvp?

[@Der.Kugelbeschleuniger]

is there a way to use iso 100 for the hdr photos? checked the dngs from a rather lower light situation, and even the light ones showed bad iso noise...

[@JohnathanConaway]

Do you gain anything from using only one lens?

[@ngkayui]

do u know how to set the clock? It is off by a whole day and I could not find a place i can adjust the clock, thanks

[@TomWorkstation]

Is there a loop recording settings?

[@MrPhotoman1]

The app for this camera do need a cable to transfer the footage /photos into the phone as on my Huawei there's no slot for a mini SD card?

[@HouseAndLotFinderph]

thanls Chris, this one i wanna see!!!

[@Beauty.and.FashionPhotographer]

is it possible to crop in another ratio on the X2? lets say, i would want to do a 1:2,39 Canvas ratio, instead of the classic 16:9 Canvas ratio... how would You get there, if You would want to end up with such a wider (Cinemascope Ratio) Canvas Ratio,... out of the X2's 360 footage?

[@goal7779]

Thanks

[@DigitalWealthHub]

Appreciate the video

[@ronbrown1202]

Will the new DJI Wireless Mic work with the Insta360 One X2?

[@ChrisSpice]

Not sure as I don’t have it. I am planning on getting it but I can only assume that if you plug the mic in, it will show up in the 360 footage

[@wouldratherbehiking1088]

What's the best memory card for this camera?

[@belmabrouk-mohamed3106]

[@tumlimsawatdiwat7301]

Can we set minutes/files? @Steady Cam Mode

[@ArthurKlisiewicz]

why my video in Standard/Audo mode is terribly overexposed ???

[@Cortes512]

Thanks for the video

[@AlexNguyen]

What do you suppose the 2:1 refers to in timer screen?

[@rexanaya3041]

How have the sound on 3K video..?

[@mitchosheasse1571]

H265 is not difficult, it's overall a better codec for HDR, you'll need a better PC to exploit it that's it. Use proxies and everything will be fine.

[@PolioVitruvius]

How do I export video from the One X2 to Google Street view like with the the One X?
