[@yangguzheng3544]

it's just so much easier not having to care about where the cam points to while chasing my gf down the slopes

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeh exactly 😊🙌

[@Jon-Chan]

Go myself one of these for my last trip to the Alps last year. Awesome camers and so easy to use, no need to worry about what/where to shoot, whether it's in frame, etc, it a captures everything and even things that you didn't notice before and just leaves you to concentrate on the shredding!😁

[@SunSnowGravity]

That's a quite useful way to show what the camera can do. Kudos!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks 🙏🙏

[@anthonynaylor574]

Awesome content, it's all so easy to watch. With this vid I've been looking to buy a x3 for a while but just needed to watch another snowboarding vid with insta360 x3. Then seeing the link too proper sold it! Cheers dude!

[@TheOfficialGavinLim]

Awesome showcase Malcom! I got this camera last year cause you use it! This could be another video but it would be cool to see what preset settings you use on the camera for different environments or post editing settings!

[@GingerT8]

Great video, been using Insta 360 gear since the 1st generation and love it.

[@ianrkent]

Great video - and it had demystified how you get those great shots. Curious though what your voice/mic setup is, as you seem to be able to talk clearly through all the shots, even when the camera is not close to you

[@nickneale2237]

Might go for this, just switched from boarding to sking so may need the pole mount, but looks awesome.

[@markwebster243]

Love mine the stability of the filming plus the Ai 🤖,i needed the second battery on my first day in -23 over in Canada 🇨🇦 fantastic in the trees but watch the lenses.

[@t0gden12]

Picked one up off your link the other day mate. Free selfie stick and snow bundle is a winner, Nice one!

[@malcolmmoore]

Ah brilliant 🙌

[@RyandeMilliano]

That 3m Mega pole is quite rad for a very unique drone style shot! Awesome tips bud!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks 🙏😊

[@premmett]

Just ordered one of these using your link! Thank you

[@malcolmmoore]

Amazing enjoy!!

[@avlehtine]

I got an Insta360 X3 using your code, mostly to get a look at my technique. Tested it out with a buddy and it's everything I hoped for (better have been considering the cost). A bit more work to figure out the angles and I'm sure we can get a very good idea of what's going right and what can be improved.

[@vincent7zheng]

quick question. did you use another audio device to sync the audio in the post? Because that's what I did with all my videos.. much better audio quality than the build in mic tho.

[@tonyg8870]

Nice vid, it's a cool camera. Still have my GoPro here.

[@paulelliott2459]

Thank you Malcom ..great video .. I've done a couple of holidays with this cam and got some great effortless footage .. You have answered a lot of questions i still had showing us the modes you have used ... If you do another one can you show the angles your holding the pole in each mode .. For example in me mode do you hold it about 90 degrees to the ground or slightly up or down from that ... In 360 mode I was just holding mine straight up in the air .. Should I be holding it pointing out ? .. . Thank you Paul .

[@malcolmmoore]

Me mode I hold it slightly higher than 90° but not much, in 360 mode you can hold it wherever depending on what you want to capture, the fov is wider than what you get on me mode so it will easily get all of you in, if you want to shoot back at yourself

[@Shpillah]

@malcolm the voice is recorded with insta360 too?

[@dwed1234]

Thanks Malcolm. Great video (as always). I’ve ordered one as a birthday treat. Not so clear from the website but these are being sent from China so the delivery is not super fast. Looking forward to using it. 👍

[@malcolmmoore]

Hopefully will arrive nice and quick! Enjoy 🙌🏼

[@andrewyuzwa5840]

Got the ONE X2 for Christmas. Looking forward to riding with it.

[@devtanna77]

Sold! Bought using your link, thanks Malcolm

[@devtanna77]

Quick question, do you use a lens guard when shooting your videos?

[@malcolmmoore]

Brilliant enjoy!!

[@malcolmmoore]

I actually don't use one

[@nubin0807]

I have the Insta 360 One RS and love it

[@malcolmmoore]

Nice 🤩

[@IMHAOfficial]

I like your style to snowboard,and I buy with your promo code one of the Insta360 A3. And, I hope to make videos like you one day. My goal is, snowboarding without to thinking...i want to have the same feeling like you!

[@PavelBlazevic]

Hey Malcolm, great stuff presented. I was just wondering what post editing software are you using apart of the insta360 mobiled app or studio on desktop. Thanks

[@malcolmmoore]

Premiere pro to put this together, everything on my Instagram is just straight from the app though, then I just use a different programme to record a voiceover for the clips

[@bertfasdfas5546]

Cool Video :) Might grab one, could also be used on a motorcycle mhh...

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah definitely, there's alot of motorcycling KZbinrs showing how they use it!

[@designvoronin]

Like to use it with quick mount (made by Ulanzi for Insta360). Switch between helmet mount and selfie stick is very convinient, even in gloves.

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah 💯

[@rauliuxaa]

You can capture your own run and your friends in the same run? That's crazy🎉 New x4 might be coming this year, I wonder what's that gna be like.

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah should be good! 🙌

[@ssneg]

Probably 8k 60fps 1 inch sensor

[@rauliuxaa]

that would be insane. i hope so, but i don't think we're geting 1inch sensor, because that would legit devalue alot of other 360s, which wouldn't be that good for their market@@ssneg

[@Daz555Daz]

@@ssneg X4 will be 10 to 20% better than the X3 just as the X3 was in comparison to the X2. Natural progression. Remember that Insta can't step on the toes of their high end cameras.

[@leonshaw1008]

Amazing Camera !

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeahh thanks Leon

[@Daz555Daz]

Superb video. I've been close to punching the buy button on an x3 for a while and you might have just tipped me over the checkout line!

[@malcolmmoore]

Lovely enjoy!!

[@Daz555Daz]

Just ordered it via your link. Looking forward to it.

[@malcolmmoore]

@@Daz555Daz awesome thanks ✌️ there's alot you can do with it, from being a functional tool to getting really creative, it's great!

[@l34han]

The battery life is amazing, never used GoPro once after got the insta360.

[@malcolmmoore]

😊😊

[@ThinLineMedia]

You didn't plan to say that it has the worst Image quality and Dynamic Range out of all actions cams like Insta360 Ace Pro, GoPro 12 or DJI Action. That is why sunsets look pretty bad on Insta360 X3. Also it doesn't have any SlowMo with a decent image quality, which can be extremely important for lots of action sports. And at last it is very bulky to have it on your helmet for POV.

[@Jon-Chan]

To be fair, the X3 has a different use case to traditional action cameras. What you lose in image quality you gain much more, mainly ease of use, it's the closest you'll get to shoot and forget as you'll always be in frame no matter what plus you can use the same footage for different shots. I strapped one to my backpack with the invisible selfie stick and captured decent footage on my last snowboard trip, something you can't really do with a traditional action camera. The sensor on the X3 is bigger than the previous cameras and the quality is a step up and perfectly adequate for KZbin and if the content is good enough, no one would really notice in any case. 👍

[@mihaiserbanescu8676]

I had mine when it came out. Granted I haven't updated the software in a good while, however, it is crashing, and glitching and corrypting files... I like to race karts, I had ai many issues with instas not recording the races... It's frustrating. Maybe the update would deal with that, but as it stands, it left a lot to be desired. The image quality is not the best either. Indoor tracks don't have the best lights, so it's all soft, but it does the job. Everything else is awesome!

[@Daz555Daz]

It's had a tonne of firmware updates since it launched. Most recent is v1.0.85 2023-12-26

[@AscendedBeing87]

I have the X2 and absolutely love it! Its so much better than a GoPro. But there is one really big downside you didn't mention, the lenses are very fragile and because they protrude, the lenses will always hit the ground first if you crash or drop the cam.(or your beginner Friend hows filming you) Thats really shit for an Action-Cam. But I didnt have so much experience with it in the winter. How are the odds of surviving a crash onto the Slope? Unfortunately its not possible to easily replace the lenses, so I recommend taking out an insurance.

[@kennethmaclean9357]

The tech is nuts. Ridiing Serre Chevalier today and have bagged some great footage without even trying!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome!! Enjoy 😊😊

[@kennethmaclean9357]

@@malcolmmoore I got round to throwing together an edit kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXfXf3uAe7R5nrcsi=MchDEEHcwRPvh1d5

[@jeffrey8362]

Do you use the lens covers and do you recommend using them? I'm afraid that the quality will get worse. Great vid as always

[@malcolmmoore]

I actually don't use them so I'm not sure tbh, sorry!

[@liddell98]

Hi Malcolm, do you ever do virtual training with the x3? Thought it would be great to get tips based on a video shared of me on KZbin. I live in California . I just started using the camera. I have learned a lot from your teaching methods. The camera revealed I’m not as good as I thought I was doing.

[@malcolmmoore]

I am on an app called Skiwit, but the app is new and it's not running super smoothly yet, hence why I haven't promoted it yet. But it allows for video analysis, and all things being well, it should be working better by next winter and if it is I'll make a video advertising that service!

[@MrDatimms]

It's a great looking camera. Only thing you didn't mention is memory cards. What size do you use and how much footage do you capture on there?

[@malcolmmoore]

128gb, I captured about 20gb whilst shooting this video.

[@northernrob8072]

As a 45yo my mind is blown.. i feel like my granddad when colour tv fist came out.. 😅

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha 😂😂

[@everspader]

Is there a way to get the lens to be more snow repellent? I find GoPro lens to be great at this but the Insta 360 not so much and it sometimes affect the stitching when in dual lens mode.

[@ssneg]

Add protective caps and wipe them often. Never wipe an unprotected lens.

[@davidaddy7936]

Cool stuff Malcolm - you use 60FPS but have you found some go-to settings for colour profile, shutter speed, ISO and white balance please? 😅

[@malcolmmoore]

I just use the auto settings, this is all shot on auto

[@DrGeeChatha]

Trying to justify getting this camera before i go snowboarding end of this month. 😂 itll help me improve my ridong i am sure.

[@chicharonbuyakyak]

WhaT are your color settings? You shoot in HDR?

[@yairvsync]

Battery lasts about ~2 hours of footage (I own X3)

[@chrissladden4593]

Hi Malcolm, im looking at buying an X3 and using your ref link, but im unable to see what is in the snow bundle and what comes in the box, can you help? tia

[@jerrychinn]

Thank you Malcolm! A suggestion for another video, how about detailing your audio setup?

[@malcolmmoore]

Ah yeah good idea!

Raw file sizes must be pretty large.

Aphex, link in video description 👍

[@devisback3698]

Quality goes so down when shifting the camera. X6 will be perfect I think

[@amidaobscura]

Great video to show what it can do but there is no "why you use this over a goPro". If I had to choose between the two, what's so much better on the Insta that the GoPro does not have, and vice versa? Have you used a Go Pro in the past?

[@malcolmmoore]

I don't like to compare two different products too much, I use the GoPro sometimes but mostly use the insta 360 because it's better for filming myself with the invisible selfie stick

[@amidaobscura]

@@malcolmmoore Thank you sir, I got one with your link. Just found your channel. I'm making a plan based on your videos to improve during my next trip :)

[@jimsdrivingschool]

I’ve had a go pro 360 for ages but I don’t use it anymore as editing and uploading the film to anything is a pain in the backside. Is this really that much easier, is it done by Bluetooth or WiFi from the camera to your phone ?

[@malcolmmoore]

Done by WiFi, or via a quick reader where you plug your SD card directly into the phone

[@wanderer2246]

Is there some lanyard on the stick? It's kind of scary to loose the sstick with camera.

[@malcolmmoore]

Probably, I don't use it though

[@Matttski]

what exposure and colour temp are you using?

[@malcolmmoore]

I just use the auto settings 😊🤩

[@ajschroeter4645]

How do you do the sky swap mode?

[@malcolmmoore]

Through the all on the phone, it's in the shotlab section ✌️

[@LucyBurr141]

How durable is it? I’m looking at getting one for snowboarding (I go once a year) but I’m worried if I fall over am I going to break it?

[@malcolmmoore]

I use mine all the time and haven't had any problems 😊

[@LucyBurr141]

Amazing thank you!

[@neilp7024]

Great camera but the stitching effect is hard to get rid of....i have used this cam and just dont seem to get the shots you get...maybe i`m doing something wrong?

[@malcolmmoore]

You probably have the lens guard setting on when it shouldn't be, or vice versa, there shouldn't be any problem at all getting the smooth stiching

[@neilp7024]

Lens guard... Is this on the settings.. I bought the lens protection for both sides but did not put them on? Not really up on this cam altho I do like what it does but it's above my pay grade... Lol

[@user-ds5bh7ps2n]

I was on the fence about this cam, but your video definitely sold it, so i grabbed one through your link. Cheers!

Is that the 114cm pole as well as the 3m?

[@83richkane]

@@malcolmmoore sweet, cheers. Appreciate the reply. Been looking at a 200cm non insta360 pole. I’m just a bit dubious using non branded accessories

[@83richkane]

Sold! We’re in Alpe D’Huez. End of March may see you around filming 👊

[@leenelson7772]

Where did you get the selfie sticks/pole from?
