Insta360 One X2 Low Light Video: Best Settings, Tips & Tricks

[@MonstersSeeMeToo]

Thank you sooo much! I watched a ton of reviews and the footage looked so beautiful, then I buy one and watch my videos and they are horrible. I returned a GoPro MAX to get this and the footage looked worse when the reviews and comparisons said the One X2 would be better. I feel so stupid, of course I should have thought of the shutter speed and iso. Duhhh, I got too lazy and left everything on auto. Didn't want to fiddle with the tiny screen. Super appreciate your video, it makes such a dramatic difference. I should be able to reduce the noise and get rid of most of the jitteriness now. Thanks!

[@HarryAdee]

So nice that you could return a camera if you don't like it. In my country what you've bought never have guarantee that you could do that. Once purchased its done.

[@PppMmm0]

Gigapixel ai video enchancer perfectly remove noise, restore night videos. Not sure about this model but can try to shot with high iso and process it with gigapixel trial demo.

[@HealthySGRetiree]

Just took the plunge and ordered my X2 via your link. Good luck to me.

[@17germa]

Excellent video. I like the night shots much better than I thought I would after seeing other reviews. The X2 is now definitely on my wish list. Thanks a lot.

[@UKFR]

You asked for comments so here is my honest opinion. The juddering from the stabilisation even on your best settings here is disappointing - I say this as a long term One X owner and huge fan of this 360 degree format. To me, the night shots work best on the hyperlapse as that kind of distracts from the issues. I do think these cameras are amazing in daylight but not designed for moving night shots (walking around) and appreciate your time and effort checking out if different settings can help, they do to some extent. I would think that keeping the camera static on a tripod would work well though (as an ambience video - maybe moving from one location to another on a street instead of walking). I have to say I am so very pleased with my Insta One X despite the limitations and have never had so much fun with family etc. creating unique photos and video.

This video is very informative. Now I'm considering to buy this camera knowing its possibilities and limits. Many thanks. Just one thing : at 2700 k a color is warm (yellow and red) while at 7000 k it's cold - blue :-) I think that this camera is design to enhance one's creativity. By setting the WB like you do, I find the ambiance is pleasant.

[@ozkr2988]

2700k lights are warmer then 7000k, but the camera shifts the image in the opposite direction to compensate, so 2700k is bluer and 7000k warmer when comparing the wb settings in the camera. It’s a little confusing in the beginning

[@whatisthis922]

Thanks..GREAT VIDEO I have a One x2 and haven't been using it at night. Now I know how ...AWESOME VIDEO THANKS!!!

Wow very informative, ive always shot in auto smh lol gonna try these manual settings

thanks, bro, taught me a lot.

[@ePreneurs]

there's some kind of flicker/focus changing (idk what it is called) that happens all the time... how to avoid this?

[@mediapenjarasandakan]

Very useful and informative video. Could you please give a suggestions for best light can be pair with insta360? Tq mate

[@xxchilidogsxx9122]

this dope camera. Will these settings work for capturing fireworks?

[@aledianin]

Are these settings valid for the insta360 rx ? Amazing videos. I'm enjoying your content!! Thks

[@Giovanni1a]

Only seeing this now, a bit late heading into summer. One other tip is to not move the camera. As a 360 degree camera can make transitions by it's own in post it's perfectly possible to create a great sequence by not moving with the camera recording, but to take some shots one-by-one.

[@teamloony]

Very good video on the X2, think I’ll definitely order on e for my birthday in January 👍🏼

[@Kibbuster]

Did you order it?

[@teamloony]

I did, very happy with it too. 👍🏼

[@gdetonamore]

Can you please make a video about one lense steady cam mode in different situations. low light, vlog mode, stabilisation, pano photos etc. just insta 360 one x2. Thank you!

[@Serendipia_95]

Hi ! this is all very useful but how do yo go into manual mode? I´ve been searching for the mode and doesnt appear. help

[@imthateddie]

What a great video! I learned so much watching this. X3 vs MAX for concert video, thoughts?

[@sovannvoyager]

do you have this kind of video with the X3? Maybe these techniques can apply to X3?

[@heavenlyts]

Very useful & enjoyed the sites.

[@ManzoStefanin]

Very useful video! What settings do you recommend on routes where there is a fast alternation between a lot of and little light? For example, while cycling along a mountain path and passing from the forest to an open meadow and vice versa. Often, in the transition from little to much light, there is a moment of a few seconds in which the illuminated part appears almost "burned". How can this annoying effect be avoided?

[@udipta21]

Excellent review!

[@Kot_Nikola]

So very useful! Thank you, bro! May the Force be with you =)

[@walistation]

Vídeo muito bom, obrigado!

[@gurragurt]

Great video, thanks alot

[@TheAsianJayChannle]

Thanks for the video! My conclusion after watching it is not to use this camera at night... The quality of the output is not appealing to watch.

[@friedpicklezzz]

When o when are they coming with an affordable micro four thirds version? I hate the footage quality of 360 cameras.

[@OtakugameFR]

It's like in Watch Dogs Legions !

[@johnd9357]

Can you please tell me how you can pan around the 360 photos like you’re doing at 11:30? Are you doing that in your video editing software? Please give me some guidance on how you do this, please!

[@vedesh6907]

I know

[@vedesh6907]

Ok so first open the Insta360 app Then click stories Then click “create new story” Then choose your 360 photo Then a new interface will appear(timeline and other edit options) Then click reframe 360 clip Then choose the method you would like to edit the photo(now video)-for example viewfinder/key frame/ combination of both of them Then add key frames and export in highest quality Hoped it helped …… :)

[@hasandubais]

Two questions.. Is there anyway to rename saved custom settings? Is there a way to still control the camera from its touch screen while it is previewing in my phone?

[@Ginosergio.]

I really hate the jello/blur effect every few frames, when the camera is moving. I think is coming from the stabilization engine. Did you find a system to avoid it ? I think it's impossible, the only way to go is keep the camera on a tripod and reframe later. I think that this problem will show even with the smoothiest movement (for example, camera on a drone moving at constant speed in straight line). I will try that when I find spare time....

[@ReinHart006]

What would u recommend on the settings shooting at the night sky?

[@TheBostl]

Great video as always! Do you use iPhone or Android phone? I ordered mine last week, but I use Android at the moment and I've seen some reviews saying that the phone app is crashing a lot in Android

[@KetansaCreatesArt]

Your Android phone should have Snapdragon 845 processor or above, then it works well.

[@iTzPiShPoSh]

Great video

[@wallstbets4865]

@The 360 Guy , can you recommend a camera similar to the One X2 that can handle low light?

[@minhaijin5314]

This cam can take video(like hero mode)at 1440?

[@godtiermedic]

Nice video. I would scoop this up if it was 8k. I find my gopro max at 5.7k still too blurry

[@johnd9357]

Resolution isn’t the only factor in sharpness, especially for video. For instance on my Sony a7iv 1080 cropped is actually sharper than 4K, a bit counterintuitively. You can’t just say “x camera will be sharper than Y camera because it has more resolution.”

[@istvanszakacs2361]

Can the recording be used in Lumafusion over 5K or only in your own program?

[@Netaction]

What happens by just setting the sensitivity to a maximum value of around ISO 400?

[@LemonDust13]

5:05 looked cool with you standing in the middle while the double, double deckers passed you 🤔does that make for a quadruple decker? lol

[@marklola12]

Ouch i was going to get one of these where i may still do but its a shame that i would litterally not bother using it at night :/ no matter what you do and settings it is not usable and i get better night video from my mobile phone so guess i would not be doing any 360 videos at night

[@sans0009]

Bought the one x2, having a lot of grain in a few videos even in moderate light, having been shooting primarily auto mode 5.7 k sd or hdr, any tips to remove the grain, also due to downsampling the video quality on exporting to full HD is not that great, what do you think?

[@caradellinowazer2988]

Shoot manual and keep an eye on ISO...should improve your results

[@danieloflaherty2154]

Hey Martin! Would be super interested on your initial thoughts between the one r and one x 2 as which one you prefer using. On the fence at the moment

[@mrjohnno]

@@danieloflaherty2154 hiya daniel, its early days yet as i only got my x2 this morning but from what i see the x2 has some minor improvements - i bought the 360 one r for the simplicity of the module change feature but also added the one inch mod! the one inch mod takes lovely stills especially in low light but i suppose what drew me to the x2 was the compactness, i wanted a 360 that wasnt too bulky (not to say the one r is) but a more pocketable size i think! plus i think there may be more editing features on the x2....hope you decide well dude, keep watching the vids & try to make a decision 👍👍

I don’t understand why you didn’t get any flicker shooting at 30fps. Very good comparisons. Manual always wins

[@pinkipromise]

flicker depends on shutter speed not fps. if you live in 60hz country and set 1/60 shutter, there wont be flicker

[@BruceLauderdale]

@@pinkipromise both myself and The 360 guy live in a 50Hz country, so should be shooting at 25FPS at 1/50th or multiple of... that’s why I don’t understand how he never got flicker

[@Unnaymed]

The best shutter speed is always 1/60sec, event if you shoot in 60fps or 24fps. Test it in your phone you will see. The double fps is a myth ... But great advices :) You don't speak about hdr video, what about that?
