Insta360 X3 Review for Beginners: Is It Worth It??

[@ericevans9782]

Possibly the best and most relevant review I've seen so far. Watching people with years of experience always leaves me disappointed when I can't do the same

[@umairahmadmalik]

Exactly! I was on the fence but this was the review that sold me!

[@FaceFabLLC]

Dude! This is prob the most comprehensive newb to insta360 for this camera (or format in gen) I've seen! Thank you for putting in the time & serious effort, it's greatly appreciated! You've answered questions I didn't even think I'd have that other videos assume most people know. Fantastic!

[@dallastrikker792]

Really appreciate the deep dive you did on the Insta360 app. None of the other reviewers I've watched have done an in depth app review as you've done. I've been trying to decide if I wanted to jump into 360 photography/videography, but your review has sealed the deal for me. Definitely going to buy one now. Thanks so much for your unique review!

[@Natanael_nass]

But as soon as I reach the moment of the video he speaks about the app I rush to the comments to talk about that and find your comment right on the top hahaha I agreee 100% with you, same happened here, no other reviewer spoke about that and that's a BIG game changer for insta stories for example, so easy to use. Moment always killing on the reviews

[@drcobb84]

you'll have so much fun with the shot lab on the app, the clone trail etc. is so much fun, and so easy to do too. You wont regret it. However as mentioned low light isnt the best, you can get a 1" version of the older X2 essentially (the app etc, all work the same) from what i can tell the Me mode is the only thing missing, aswell as the screen on the camera isnt as big.

[@markshirley01]

@@drcobb84 watch Brandon Li's video - he shows 11 commercial video ideas you can make with the X3

[@drcobb84]

@@markshirley01 i have watched it, not really commercial video ideas rather than creative cool shots (which is awesome too)

[@johnsmith1953x]

Me too. I was deciding between Insta360 and a GoPro, but I'm hearing all the freezing issues with the latest GoPros and even the GoPros from two years ago, that I went with this for $590 at Amazon...

[@demisx]

This is one of the best X3 reviews I’ve seen so far. And I saw quite a few. Thank you, sir!

[@HanaFilms1]

As someone looking to purchase my first 360 cam (likely this model) soon, I can appreciate the more 'novice' introduction into the cameras. Makes it a lot less overwhelming to start learning when i get it because i'll probably be in the same boat!

[@ejohnsonw]

I came across a cooking video meal prep on Sunday and the gentleman in the video. Did a box say I didn’t know what in the world he was in boxing so I did a search and your video came up. Thank you so much for your explanation. I really appreciated it because I didn’t know that it was even a Camera. Thank you for sharing I have liked and subscribed to your channel.

What mini tripod is your X3 attached to @2.03 ?

no

[@FSUvinny]

i was on the fence before I watched this video today, as someone who'd never used 360 before. Your excitement and newbieness sold me so I snagged one. Thanks mah dudes.

[@gotseethisone]

This has to be amongst the best reviews that has sold me on getting the X3. I had the X2 before. Used it once. Never had the time to sit down and learn how to use it. Now, I know a little bit more and will go get the X3. Thanks

[@VentiViews]

As someone who is going to use this camera in the exact same way you are and someone who is brand new to the 360 world I appreciate the video. Well done!

[@jeffrysusanto78]

I have seen lots of X3 review done by more experienced users, but Your review is the one that got me sold on this camera ! Well done 👍

[@thewilberforce]

I’ve been obsessing about buying this camera or not. This video was exactly what I needed to see. The most relevant for those of us who aren’t super camera geeks. Liked. Subbed. Bought with the link. Thank you!!

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

Great video! Love the running footage. I've got an endurance background. New Insta360 X3 user here. Slowly picking up tips and tricks. Also getting my accessories and gear in order to crank out some cool footage too. Thanks!

[@YuStudios]

I got one for my birthday and I've used it on a regular basis for snowboarding, driving, electric unicycles. The app is incredibly easy to use and the battery life is wayyy better than my friend's gopro hero 8. It lasts 3-4hrs without issues outside while snowboarding with 10 minute recordings everytime I go down the hills. The camera could probably last me the entire day in warmer weather with occasional recording. Highly highly recommend.

[@DFD1]

Great and detailed video. Really appreciated! I'm loving my x3. It's amazing for skiing, running, driving and for sure all the other activities I haven't yet tested. You just pull it out, start recording and can be almost sure that some great footage will be captured. Editing is really a LOT of fun, build quality, software and battery life are pretty good too (5 months of usage in my case - zero issues).

[@annualtravellers]

What I love about your review is the fact that you have shown more about the app on the phone which most people just ignore. Thank you!

[@elliotstern8582]

Great review on usage. I e been looking at all different reviews but this is the one that sold me.

[@e-BikeLife]

This may have been one of the best, most exciting reviews of an Insta 360 camera I've ever watched! And, I've watched a lot of them! I have the One X2 and have been trying to decide whether to upgrade to the X3. I love using this camera for my cycling content.

[@996Roadtrip]

Really appreciate this review! Was about to send my X3 back tomorrow but this have given me some more motivation to learn. Thanks! +1 Subscriber as well!

[@trevtog]

Having never used one of these it was great to see the view from another first-timer. Thank You! I just want an easy to use camera to get some fun BTS and action shots. This was exactly what I was looking for. I'll be buying through your link. I wanted this not all the techie mumbo jumbo.

[@Ajonra]

Thanks for doing this for beginners! I’m waiting on mine. And I’m super excited!

[@FAUSTOGUILLERMO]

Great video.. Does it come WITH a microphone???

[@behatiprinslooooooo]

I've seen quite a few reviews nows, but this is by far the most fun one. Love your genuine vibe and actually learned something I hadn't in other reviews. The part where you use the phones gyroscope, that's so cool! Thanks!

[@umairahmadmalik]

1000%

[@markshirley01]

Brandon Li's video has great examples of commercial type clips for someone who films behind the camera. I couldn't figure how I'd use it practically for clients but his video really helps with good ideas. It was the filming 'me' stuff I actually wasn't interested in because it looks naff and gimmicky. But using it for faux drone type clips or faux slider or gimbal type footage it has a real use for me.

[@Plymouthmusicschool]

The insta 360 is a game changer

[@XDaddy511X]

Maaaan.. U did a better review than those other guys. I ordered mine a couple days ago and been watching as many videos on it as i can. I learned more from you on this one video than i did with all the previous ones. Thank you. Already gave you the thumbs up.

[@vijaydeejay15]

Great video, I'm a complete new beginner and not tech savy. Would be really nice if you could do a small 2 mint video and show us all how to do different effects with the app on phone. Just ordered my X3 . Looking forward to your future videos

[@joshbirch7927]

got to say out of all the other unboxings/reviews/tests none have shown the camera in the way you have! Helped me make my mind up for sure!

[@callmesirjustsir]

Really appreciate the deep dive on the app. Offf allll the vids i watched i kept searching your video from my history of liked videos because your review was so damn good. Thanks !!!

[@jaimininorath5760]

Really good take on the camera. some features i haven't seen on it before in here. gunna go buy one now

[@keganmowery4223]

Cool review dude! My X3 should be coming in the mail today. Excited to have the same new experience.

[@bobbybal83]

I am 11 sec in and this already the best tutorial. I am a trail runner, an ultra, I have a mustache, I have the same ciele cap, bought the x3 5h ago and this clip was the first suggestion as I opened youtube

[@Addarraj]

9:50 you forgot to mention that the app does not show a "waveform track", so its hard and time-consuming when you edit and crop silence, not ideal for Vlogging! You showed that you can pick up clips quickly, but difficult to pick up voice locations.

[@patrickmchenry7756]

Thanks for the video. It helped me decide if I wanted to get one for my upcoming trip.

[@Lexmouth]

Legit the best review I could have hoped for. Envisioning this to use during the upcoming TAR 2023 in the alps. Kudos for your work!

[@wattimena]

I have an Osmo Pocket but this one is another level! You've done an awesome review! Thanks!

[@stuartdavis798]

Thanks As someone who has never used an Action Camera or a 360 Camera this was very informative. It sounds like a lot of fun!

[@lifeiscruisey1912]

As someone who has never used a 360 camera before and just bought the insta360 X3 on a whim I found this video super relatable and helpful so yeh .... thank you.

[@Defilement_the_clown]

Dude….! 👌🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you thank you thank you you’ve taught me more about my Insta 360 camera than any other video I seen on KZbin. You simplified it, now I’m juiced (motivated) thank you

[@macc1187]

i just got one of these for xmas and have no idea what to do with it/ how to use it so this was super helpful!

[@RandomCaliforniaAdventure]

Too late...I ordered mine and can't wait to use it! I've been using the Samsung 360 when it first came out because the whole VR and 360 was a game changer at that time and I've been doing a lot national park hiking videos with it and updating all my travels again would be awesome since now it is way more enjoyable with the update resolution to the present that can is viewable in HD. I didn't received my package yet but seeing your review only reaffirm my purchase. Thank you! I tend to dislike a lot of KZbinrs who does nothing but bring a product and does a quick whimsical useless intro and just well...boring and useless. However, I do like in-depth reviews especially when showing the product to beginners at a level where the product is interesting to both you and the viewer.

[@beganny]

Super helpful review. Can't wait for mine to show up (ordered yesterday) and get going....

[@westmcgee9320]

I just got mine as a gift and it’s so new to me. So, this video was from a relatable perspective, for me.

[@b_genny]

thanks for awesome video. the most helpful one. I bought one for myself as birthday gift. can't wait to take it when running. just want to know what's your best brand I like that it fits your water bottle and the camera mounted

[@PLACESNONDESCRIPT]

If u want best export quality use the desktop app and export at higher resolution...but yes the camera is cool but fragile lenses don't scrape it

[@candle619]

Everyone keeps telling their audience to subscribe, like and to hit the notification bell. You’re the first one to not do so. You my friend just earned a fan. I hit all 3 and quite a great review. Very useful info and not like the rest. Just keepin it real. Keep ‘em comin bro

[@Cruising_the_Dash]

Excellent! I'm looking at buying one and your video has provided me with the confidence to go ahead especially given I'm not super technical 👍

[@jkspinalchoice]

You are awesome! Nice Job! Your excitement is how I feel too can’t wait to use it!!!

[@onlymyopiniontech]

Great video! Here's something to think about in a future edit. Make a video just of the trail you are running and save it. Then make a video of just you running and save it. Sync the videos and in your favorite editing software you can do PIP with you narrating the video or switching scenes throughout the run. These are great cameras to exercise your imagination. Have a great day and be safe out there!

[@TC_Prof]

Perfect great content mate thanks. Cant wait to get my hands on my 1st 360 cam. X3 come to papa! 😅

[@Lifeof-Jo]

Thank you. I have been wanting one but was afraid it was too much for me. But I think it will work great

[@jonathanphilipson6066]

Great review of this amazing camera. Most practical and informative review I have seen yet. Thanks.

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

Have no experience with 360 cameras, but just wondering, when you choose that specific viewpoint out of the sphere in post-production (Premiere Pro) and you want that viewpoint in 4K resolution, will you still get that fisheye effect around the borders or will i be like you shoot it on any other 4K camera?

[@twentysevenand]

I'm trying to get back into vlogging, and years ago, I used a Kodak Z8 then as cameras on smartphones got better, I started using those. But I was always missing different POVs as a solo traveller. I was about to go with GoPro because I was intimidated by 360 filming, but this video convinced me that I can still enjoy it as a beginner, especially as someone going back to vlogging after years.

[@vacation_generation]

Brilliant review - i'm impressed - liked and definitely subscribed!

[@TheA4mfilms]

Perfect review. Broadcast cameraman but not used a 360 camera. So this was most helpful x

[@recideas]

Thx for this video! Im thinking between GoPro 11 or Insta360x3🤔really difficult😅

[@mrniceguyphofficial]

So far this is the best review ive watch because i really want to know the capabilities of this camera before buying it, anyways nice haircut and one sub for you. thumbs up!

[@marcosbarbosa1933]

Waiting for mine to arrive in the mail. I don't have alot of experience with cameras period so this was a GREAT video for me.

[@mirrormirage0]

honest, down-to-earth review. thanks...

[@doug7745]

Never understood the appeal of any 360 camera but this app is definitely a plus. I am a complete beginner and terrified of editing. After using this app and finished editing how do you export the video to KZbin or Facebook etc. ?

[@bgainey4u]

app asks you what you want to export/post to....Instagram/Facebook and I think Twitter

[@manishprasad2767]

by far the most informative video on X3. Thank you so much.

[@DarklyBishop]

Jeesus! This review is amazing! Best one ive seen!

[@ScottHirschman]

What a refreshing video, not the canned video reviews we see all over KZbin. Subscribed! Question though for you, is it easy to shoot photo spheres with the camera and to then post them to say Google Maps or Google photos? Also do you then need special software to view them? I can find this answer out anywhere :(

[@johnchan6191]

Wow, U're the perfect candidate 2 try this new camera & give the opinion of this new camera. Going a run trip with the new camera is a perfect environment 2 try this new camera. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.

[@anthonyladd7409]

Hey really nice content, I noticed the extender you're using isn't being shown in this video, would that be a feature that the 360 prvide? Or is that an edit?

[@ElFotografoFavorito]

excellent video, super well explained, some doubts that caught my attention, how much does the tripod that is on the table with your Insta360 weigh? how much does it weigh? how big is? and what material is he? Greetings from Yucatan.

[@slojam100]

Mate.. For me this is where I'm at right now.. A newbie.. Excited for what it will be able to do. Thanks for your take on it. Much appreciated 🙏

[@dougsphoto]

Hi thx for the video. What would you recommend editing on your iPhone or iPad or on laptop with Studio. Thx

[@1vegasdood]

I just got mine....love it! The desktop app is so much easier...I do my prelim edits on the Insta desktop app and then import into Premier Pro for the final edits.

[@bryanladdphotography]

Thank you for the review! Do you happen to have an interior 360 video using the HDR video feature? I'm wondering how well it would do for real estate.

[@edwardlin2941]

Very nice review from a beginner's perspective. I'm looking into this or the ONE Inch version and your comments are very helpful. Thank you

[@MrFatdaz]

Great video, got my camera today so this has given me hope that I can get some decent results!! Thank you 👍🏻

[@edmundcura3233]

did ccc last 2017 and got injured training for tds the following year, definitely had the time of my life experiencing Chamonix through UTMB events. Looking forward to getting running stones post covid lockdown. Got myself the original insta 360 one to compliment my trail running activities, as of now I still have my one x2 but might go and upgrade to one x3 sooner.

[@fernandoh3492]

Great review, thank you!

[@Sir-Kay]

I've seen footages of people shooting in 360 mode where it automatically pans from front to rear view, does it do this on its own if yes, how will he know where the action is so as to capture it? and secondly, can one mount it on one's chest like a traditional Gopro and just have it capture whatever is in one's front? And lastly, the tracking thing is cool and I get how to do it on the app but, how do I do that on my mac? do we have to download an app for our Macs or how do I do that in Davinci Resolve? And in the Snap mode, how do literally record what's already been recorded? I understand you get to re-record an already recorded clip right?

[@forumpolice101]

did the selfie stick come with the camera or do you have to purchase it separately?

[@barswapmedia]

Thank you for the info. This is really what I want to know, does it work and does it offer something new

[@pinoyingarland]

Late to the game. Just purchased mine yesterday. Thanks for the video!

[@timpenfield5]

SUBBED, So tire of complex, long ended , detailed reviewers who take forever to explain 1 or 2 capabilities. Bored to death with other reviews. Thank u thank u

[@triviatrap]

One of my huge questions is where does the footage get stored? Does it go directly to the Cloud? How much capacity or processing space is needed on a computer to deal with it all? I have a trip coming up in November, but am afraid that I can’t learn enough about it in time to use it effectively.

[@bgainey4u]

micro sd card is what camera saves to .....purchased separately!

[@SimplicityForGood]

my question is how it functions well or not with social media?! can one upload to instagram directly from the camera for example? does it have wifi connection and apps for social media platforms? If not, are there other cameras that have such app function so one do not need to use a smartphone or iPad at all for short videos to instagram or similar?... that would be really neat! :)* thanks for the video!

[@chrlmlln9018]

Thank you, sir, so very much for this very good and excellent and comprehensive review! Much appreciated, because for me as a complete new and beginner for using an action camera and of course a 360 ° capable camera! Your review is one of the very best I have watched!

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

2:39 Is it really “deleting” the selfie stick when the branded stick is simply thin enough to not be within the sight lines of either camera? You wouldn’t say that a camera on a tripod is deleting the tripod lol

[@evvok7408]

You do know why it is called 360?

[@EdisonBryan]

@@evvok7408 its not though.the stick is in the blind side

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

@@evvok7408 You do know that Insta360 isn’t using magical camera sensors that can see through the body of the camera? Draw a small X on one of your palms, stick any of their 360 cameras upright in your palm on that X, and look at the preview on your phone. That X will not be visible, and also part of your hand will be missing. It’s not using some algorithm to remove part of your hand, it literally just can’t see that chunk of it.

[@IanTed]

Got the X2, brilliant camera for walking and on my motorcycle, does 90% of what the X3 can do but I would like the better screen but the app is excellent.

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

I have an old 360 camera and and osmo action. I think this could replace both and collect half as much dust. For my lifestyle this is more of a nice to have but the results are awesome for this digital, visual content driven culture we live in.

[@heatice77]

I've been on the fence for a 360 because I wanted 4K "punch out" from the Camera not 2.8K or something, but you reminded me how awesome 360 Cameras are and now with the single lens 4K feature...why do I have a GoPro again? Sad....been using GoPro since forever but they just don't innovate anymore, still solid...but mehhh

[@jeromegaudin7273]

Interesting view from a beginner-ish ! Thanks for making it !

[@umairahmadmalik]

I was stuck between this and gopro hero 11. That snap mode sold me. This was the perfect review btw. Would you still use gopro?

Can you shoot 180 degrees and still have that 360 degrees look or does it look like a typical action camera?

how long it takes to export the footage ?.. it sound like double work. because have to export footage to work on other software !! looks like very inconvience
