Insta360 ONE X2 vs ONE X vs ONE R vs GoPro Max vs HERO9 + Max Lens Mod!

[@RealTechnoPanda]

Respect for putting in so much handwork for this video. This is the most comprehensive matchup on Insta One X2!

[@flajflaj]

For me X2 is the right choice as it's the most flexible and now also well rugged. And I'd rather to show interesting story more than just perfect 5k picture with action lost somewhere 180 degree away.

[@coolbananaboy5075]

I really appreciate that there is no obvious bias in Ben's reviews. Thank you!

[@C5drummer]

OK, all I can say is just how consistent you tried to be in doing a true compare and contrast between so many cameras, much like your prior vids. This is well thought out (considering the different reasons to use one camera over another), seemingly unbiased, and well, just exceptional in every way!!! A huge thumbs up and thank you for all your hard work. Black Friday and Christmas is just around the corner...Regarding pricing, I wonder if GoPro and Arashi Vision will be offering discounts on their cams coming up?

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the kind feedback

[@WiljanWiljan]

Thanks for the review. To me the new X2 does not offer any big improvement over the others. Better to wait or buy the Gopro Max. This came out the best overall. Can you quickly explain where to find this 4k upscale selection? I am using the exporter software from the Max on my pc

[@titochandam]

Thank you for the comparison video. Really helped in figuring out what to purchase. 🙏

[@AuthenTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rockfoxdesigns]

Your reviews are some of the best. I have consistently been coming back to your channel when I'm looking to purchase gear including this one. Thanks for the awesome work!

[@MrWallnuts]

My Man! Finally , Comparison. Just watch the other one yesterday. Thanks Dude!

[@Chillwaving]

Check your levels when exporting the gopro footage. GoPro's shoot in full range whatever you are using to render out on the 9 is blowing out the lows and highs. (Software)

[@waqaskhanofficial77]

Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.

[@AnasAqabawy]

I’m following you since long but KZbin wasn’t show me your videos within the feed. I don’t know how could you exactly touch the points I was looking for .. you did this with your iPhone 11 Pro to 12 Pro camera comparison and here you did it again with this video 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks a lot man

[@mercy000000]

This is the best review by far! It is obviously what I needed!!!

[@playingsaint]

I just bought the insta360 One X2.... nice camera but less resolution in 16:9. A year ago I was in doubt between the insta 360 one x and the go pro 8. Because of your review I bought the GoPro 8. I think that now I have the best of both worlds. Only the sound is miserable. Best thing to do is buy a separate mic... perhaps the Zoom h1n with a lavelier mic extra? What do you think. Any other suggestions for a better sound? Quality and honest video as always! 👍👍👍

[@SeanOzz]

Insta does a great job with all the app options. Gopro does a great job with the cameras. Both are great. I loved the one x so am very excited to play with an x2. Great video.

[@mendacious7]

Sean Ozz hope to see your review and snowboarding tests

[@devangkankane]

Best part of insta is actually their super easy and convinient phone software and interface......enjoy the video guys ......real authentic comparision😃😃😃😃

[@AuthenTech]

Very true, their mobile app is really sweet 👌

[@NationNathan]

Plus Insta360 one x2 you don't have to pay tax

[@KevGoesRiding]

Thanks for this video! May i suggest reviewing the gopro in protune - flat mode instead to fix the colours and contrast?

[@bikesnbeerz]

Ben, you have changed my perspective after watching your studio set up. I realized I don't "need" the 1000+ dollar Apture set up. I love you clean and simple setup. Thanks for sharing. Is it time for an easy update vid?

[@hughhou]

Great video Ben!

[@AdamBoltGoldCoast]

Hey Ben @Authentech I have the GoPro 9 and was keen to get the lens mod until I discovered that you can still do a full 360 horizon lock with the standard lens. The only difference is that your field of view isnt as wide and you get a little warping on the edges when you turn the GoPro 9 right through a 180 degree arc. Still its pretty dope that you can do this. Just turn on lens mod on the settings screen, then it shows Lens Mod is activated. Make sure you turn on Horizon lock and that your lens is set to Max Super View. Is there any chance you can show a comparison in the difference of the field of view between the lens mod and the standard lens? I'm keen to see if there is a major difference between the two. From what I have read I dont think it will be huge Lens mod 180 degree compared to Standard Lens 155 degree angle of view.

[@TheAustinHewlettOfficial]

Because of you, I bought a hero 8 black in January and I Love it!

[@AuthenTech]

I'm glad its working well for you

[@TaskSwitcherify]

There's a bug with the new Insta360 ONE X2: e.g. @ 2:00 the video capture/stitching looks like it's folding the ground and grass on your waist level, left and right. It's not flowing smoothly, it's micro-stitching. (less noticeable than the old model)

[@AutoTechWorld]

Is there any news about second generation GoPro max

[@solaregg123]

Thanks for the comparison video. Audio quality on the GoPro max is still impressive. Voice is full and round on the max and sounds as good as your studio mic through my AirPods Pro.

[@herurishardana5618]

OMG, the ultimate comparison indeed ... Thank you for sharing this great effort.

[@jhayzone33]

nice, very detailed review, and man you really spent huge time comparing those products

[@interlaken]

nicely done, as always, bro! I'm leaning to getting the X2!!

[@firstlegend72]

good job man really good job! loved each and every one of the test you did on this video

[@hugomendes3205]

Great video! I liked the ONE X2, I think for the price it is the better option right now. But they all suck with sound recording, and as you said, hopefully the ONE X2 can improve something on the next firmware.

[@alyanram]

Thanks for the comparison and the running each time to the tree. I still believe the Insta360 One R with the 4k mod and the 360 mod will give you the best combination, as you don't have to compromise on either the quality or choosing one advantage. also the audio on my One R been great with no problems, all my Vlogs are shot on it!! I usually do not choose the Voice focus in the app, just the noise reduction in camera, nor boost the audio. Thanks

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks for sharing!

[@KickAssets]

I was debating to get this. You think this is the best action camera? I want to use it to record long bicycle rides through the country side.

[@soamjena]

So which one is your favourite ?

[@bikesnbeerz]

Insta360 ONE X2 --when you use a stick. The stick should not be seen anymore :)

[@Best360]

Great comparison video! 😀👍

[@AuthenTech]

Glad you liked it!!

[@BoZhaoengineering]

one R twin edition is still the most versatile action camera boasting both wide angle and 360 view shooting. I have both GoPro 8 and the insta One R twin edtion, and they work greatly. If you have little interest about shooting 360 view video, definitely get the GoPro 8 or 9, which are perfect for wide angle video and Vlogging.

[@julsride3596]

Nice. Euc rider. I have the one R do you think the x2 is that diferent to get as well as 2nd option?

[@feruzkarboliver499]

Always the best review from this man..thanks 👍

[@AuthenTech]

No problem 👍

[@埼玉-u6l]

Thanks for your hardwork bro ❤️ Awesome content !

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks a ton

[@EonStrider]

A little disappointed in no side by side with the max for quality versus insta x2. No pixel peeping either. Something that really helps in your other reviews. That 4k upscale though on the max is the first I've heard of this!

[@deannaxify]

Best reviewer on KZbin.......... keep it up.

[@AuthenTech]

Appreciate that

[@beujjal]

GoPro Hero 9 with the max lens is really great and the audio is also very clear but the price is my main concern. After the firmware updates, One X2 will definitely capture a good section of the action cam market.

[@AuthenTech]

Totally agree

[@Daniel08353]

And the Gopro app software is despicable on reliability. That creates another variable of what company to go for, depending on need of use.

[@JonS]

Why wouldn't you buy the HERO9 Black with the subscription for $350?

[@ronlabs2577]

Thank you for the video.. your one of my favorite reviewer.. im from the Philippines

[@AuthenTech]

Cool, thanks!

[@DennisMeetsWorld]

This was hands-down THE BEST comparison video I've seen on youtube, well done! I have a Hero 9 + Max Lens Mod. There's someone locally selling a GoPro Max for $280, is it worth it to pick up the Max?

[@advisorSirAshley]

Great, thorough video!

[@jerryc2681]

Nice video and break down 👍👍👍

[@RonaldBrown59]

Nice round up all the 360/Action cams that would compete with the new Insta360 One X2 for your dollars. And I have say the new X2 really stacks up well to the field. Your really covered a lot of ground in the video, great job.

[@LynleysWorld]

Ben, thanks for this review! I am thinking of buying an Insta360 ONE X2.

[@konstantinaathanasiadi8980]

Love all your video!! Very helpful!! One question.. which camera shout be good for dance videos? Thank you..

[@over1498]

Well color me surprised, it looks a good bit better. That almost annoys me more because Insta360 already limits features in their old model, are they limiting quality too?

[@cirkuscederstrom]

That intro was pumped! I want the inst360 vivid color profile with gopro max image quality in a one x2 body. 😅

[@AuthenTech]

Haha thanks for appreciating the intro :)

[@NamasteBharatRahi]

Which is best for vlogging, GoPro max or GoPro 9

[@abdelmalekbabaali8613]

This guy is underrated

[@eliw4615]

Again an excellent review, you should have more subscribers.

[@AuthenTech]

I appreciate that

[@pixxelpusher]

How about adding the DJI Osmo Pocket 2 to the comparison list?

[@ryanyu5051]

Great comparison! Appreciate

[@TheMattJames]

Can you shoot flat colour profile on the X2?

[@ThinLineMedia]

GoPro Max wins this easily because of the very good audio. When you shooting action there are a few moments when you need to say something. And when these moments come Insta360 just destroys your audio, which makes you wanna throw all the footage into trash can.

[@CubamusPrime]

But with 360 camera you don't need good audio cause you are using it on a selfie stick up in the air to capture as much as possible.

[@ThinLineMedia]

@@CubamusPrime You also use GoPro on a stick in the air to capture as much as possible in a Superview mode. I really need audio in Insta360 and I don't understand why you wouldn't ?

[@CubamusPrime]

@@ThinLineMedia well depends on what type of video you are shooting.

[@mat-ventures]

Thanks again for the honest review!

[@stefpix]

Thank you for the hard work! Can you use only one lens on the ONE R? I would like to shoot 180 degrees in front of me while diving/spearfishing. If it is possible, is the file size smaller than a 360 video? And also once stabilized and cropped is the resolution of the footage full 1080p? or larger or smaller? I read about bugs on the Insta360, that it reverts to h.264 from h.265 if you set the latter each time you shut off the camera.

[@NoMonkeyBizz]

I want a 360 camera for motorcycle & KZbin videos Wich one u recommend?

[@saas4660]

Any reviewers (including you) do not compare insta360 one X2 and Gopro MAX side by side. Are you imposed by insta360's company any contract or promise restricting comparison between X2 and Gopro MAX?

[@Ahmadmzazai]

Love your reviews. Excellent comparison

[@AuthenTech]

Glad you like them

[@dadknowsbest3329]

Really nice video 👍 thanks

[@TheMattJames]

Can you shoot complete manual mode on the X2?

[@Videos-j6y]

Which one is best bro

[@antonettesarmiento8669]

As usual great comparison ben.

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks for watching

[@CubamusPrime]

Hey Ben you think the Tripod mount on One X2 will get damage in the future? Like people having issues with the One X.

[@Aranon78]

Great video but can you compare the Insta360 One R 1inch with the DJI Pocket 2, please?

[@AuthenTech]

They no send me pocket 2

[@Tyler-sv4sw]

Can you do the horizon mode in a software program after recording on insta360 one x2

[@oneworldvideo]

LOVE your straight to the point, no nonsense presentation style! You're a great presenter, offering smart, concise and relevant information. One thing you and every other reviewer are forgetting to mention though is the red lens flare. Is it any better on the One X2, or the same as on the One X?

[@AuthenTech]

It's the same imo

[@charlsthomas2896]

Am from india Hai sir unbelievable comparison only your, youtube channel nice thanks 😍 pls reply i request which one is best camera for vlogging pls tell after i will order 😊

[@andreistefan5883]

Thank you for this comparison. I noticed that bible verse (Matthew 6:21) - that’s interesting.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great comparison of all the 360 cameras and even some actions cameras. To honest there isn't much difference to me, at least on the 360 side.

[@simonwyndham]

Which audio setting did you have the X2 set to? It can be set to Wind Reduction or 360 direction focus in-camera. My understanding is that in Wind Reduction mode it will switch mics for the best sound.

[@AuthenTech]

This was recorded before the latest firmware (released 10/28) which added those options

[@LazywalkLog]

Good. I haven't been able to buy the MAX lens yet, but I'm looking forward to buying it.

[@DanialOnn360]

I think there was a slight overcast on the One R run, can see the shadows are softer, less light, less clarity.

[@ScottRae]

Urgh.... Helpful, yes! Though has maybe reset my choices again! Was edging towards to One X II over the One R with GoPro an outsider. The audio on the Insta360s is rubbish though! :/ Question really is, is the One R due a new upgraded mod? I'm suspecting the answer is no! So it may be I put off my action cam decision another 6 months! Not like skiing as an option this year, but I've been getting back into mountain biking again. Other problem with the One X II is it looks a lot less mountable!

[@Saufii]

Man this really hard to choose. I just want a camera to attach on my roadbike stem and can record good audio as well

[@25thta33]

Which phone are using? Gopro app has worked last couple of years without issue.

[@AuthenTech]

Haha I saw that! I wonder what caused the quick price drop 🤔

[@ScottFeierstein]

Hey there. I have a question that I can’t seem to find an answer to. I have had many gopros, and I currently have the Insta360 one R and the GoPro 7 black. While they are different cameras, the GoPro gives me continuous shooting until the battery dies. Generally 3 30 minutes videos and dead. The Insta360 is completely different and decides to turn off when it wants. I never get more than 30 minutes without it shutting down. My question is, is there a 360 camera that will run continuous until it dies? Have you tested this? I race paddle boards and like to get my entire race. I can stop and restart the camera as I am

[@luismoran7176]

I’m looking for a 360 camera, which one I’m your opinion is the best insta 360 one x2 or GoPro Max ? Thank you for your help

In low light conditions, who’s the best?? GoPro hero 9 + max lens or insta 360 one R? I gonna record some surgeries.... Tnx for your help

ONE R 1" is best in low light

[@sknygames]

Is there much difference editing audio thru the mobile app or other editing software if editing X2 or One R audio to make it sound less muffled and more natural, or is that still difficult to achieve?

[@AuthenTech]

The only settings I know of are "True Audio", and in the Studio app there's Off, Voice Focus, Action Focus

Great review Ben! If you could only choose one, either Insta 360 x2 or the Insta 360 One R......which one would you choose?

[@AuthenTech]

Probably the X2, I love the slim size, quarter-twenty mount, and unibody feel in hand. Plus it's quality and features seem the best at the moment (can't go wrong with either tho)
