Too lazy to DIY? GEPRC Hero 8 vs. Insta360 SMO 4k

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Is the Hero 8 worth the extra $200? Would you spend $450 on a "naked" camera that you're probably just going to destroy?

[@badipaddress]

It is a bit too much for me. Right now I would go on smo 4k or insta360 go 2, even if the quality is worse (expecially the go 2). I am also waiting for caddx peanut (based on go2 but cheaper) and the new Go camera from iFlight

I destroyed my Naked Hero 7 with a similarly innocuous crash. I couldn't find another second hand Hero 7 so I replaced it with a Naked Hero 8 and now I fly like an old lady whenever I have to use it. :/ I liked the Insta360 GO (the original) but mine is currently at the bottom of a lake....

I want an action cam so soo bad Joshua!! Any chance you'd part with any of them since your done reviewing them?? :)

[@mikihay]

Bardwell forgot something important on the insta360. If you use it land and pull the battery before turning off the recording . You pretty much lose the recording. In the gopro . You dont lose the recording

Wow that's fucked up

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

Yea I ended up hooking up the record wire so I can try remember flip switch when landing ..

[@TheTryzna]

As a hobbyist i would preffer giving my money to Insta360 as they actually care about our hobby, while Gopro is actively trying to make use of their products for us harder and harder.

[@sierra3358]

Yeah, canceling session is the beat example

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

Same.. I bought 3 insta360 camera.. got show them fpv support to they make more and better cameras

[@djdubz]

When the GepRC Naked 8 came out, in May, it originally sold at $369, as I purchased mine from geprc's website at that price. At $369 it was a tough buy, but justified as a gopro 8 is about $300, Gopro 8 BEC $40, plus time (priceless). But at $450, that's a lot to spend on naked gopro hero 8 and don't think I'd order one at that price.

[@xxjabarri2xx]

SMO is cool for the price but the quality difference between the GP is staggering. the SMO FOV change is cool, until you look at the grain and details in the footage. but if you only have $200 in your budget, looks solid

[@lespritz8281]

You confirmed my concerns about the SMO. Switching hue and saturation back and forth, is a no go for cine. Glad I havent pulled the trigger few weeks ago.

[@mmMartinluu]

I've been using the SMO4k for a while now. I have some color graded examples on my channel. I think for my personal use, it is enough. Really easy to use and set up.

[@chrismillersrcfamily]

The SMO is good enough for what I want to do “with this quad”. But on another Rig will be the GoPro 8. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@neilfpv]

Just saw this video. I'm always behind when jumping in to new technologies. I grabbed an SMO 4K and it will be delivered this coming Saturday. I saw the slow motion you demonstrated at 20:00, wow, I love it! Thank you!

[@colebtl]

Would be interesting if adding Insta 360 go 2 to the comparison it's almost the same weight roughly around the same price range and does a lot more than just FPV with the cost of not having 4k

[@nickxc]

But why is the power connector on the naked GoPro in the middle with no option to remove the mounting bump? It makes it incompatible with a lot of the naked GoPro mounts out there. The insta360 comes with an extra back plate so you can use the other kind of mount.

@@Lacocao just make sure you've got all the tools you need, follow a guide, take your time and it's really not that hard to do. If you can build a quad then this is relatively easy. I ran my camera for half hour or so in 4k to heat it up to help with the glue.

[@lezartvert]

HELLO DOES ANYONE KNOW A FIRMWARE VERSION OF THE INSTA360 APP TO USE THE SMO4K CAMERA. THEIR LATEST VERSIONS ARE NO LONGER COMPATIBLE...

[@VijitChandna]

For insta 360, I'm happy companies are taking fpv seriously, unlike GoPro

[@ericbraun4652]

The resolution limitations with the SMO are a result of post-processing FOV and stabilization. For example, if you record at 4k and then change to narrow FOV in post, you're not going to get 4k anymore. That's why GoPro makes you make that decision when you're recording.

[@zachigley9526]

can you show how to or where to actually solder the Insta360 SMO4K wires???

[@JustinormousFPV]

The SMO gave me that annoying error too. I've found if you connect to its wifi first, then open the app, there isn't an issue.

[@AlexInde]

Same to mee, I always connect manually via WIFI using 88888888 password and it never fails

[@JustinormousFPV]

@@AlexInde For sure! Also, for the price, I don't mind the video quality. Quirky, but overall a great product.

I definitely think there's a market for these. I have done a LOT of DIY electronics since I was 12. I've done assembler programming and built lots of PCs. It's a matter of how much time you want to spend on each component. Now, I just want to charge, bind, betaflight, and fly.

[@flightfpv7945]

It seemed to me that the SMO 4K has lost focus on distant objects. Perhaps it makes sense to twist the lens.

[@McConnellStudios]

I use naked Gopros and his comment about the locking plug is right on, I trimmed the locking tab of the power plugs down on mine so that when they (often) get pulled in a crash it will not pull the female plug end out. losing power is better than killing the BEC. I created tpu mounts that hold the angle so it is less likely to pull out. Will be checking out the GepRC version, been using iflight's tpu cases. Comments about SMO 4k dropping files if turned off or losing power are accurate. GoPro Labs QR system is the way to go, there is an app that you can set all the details with, and a website that you can use to set perfect time to the second. I use the QR code to set the camera to activate by motion sensor. Excellent system.

[@SlipperyFPV]

If you want the best or you're a pro only the GoPro will cut it, also if you want ease of use with Reelsteady Go.

[@BigChuck_1]

Agreed

[@kag46]

Flying with Insta360 for second month - it’s ok for cinematic usage, but for freestyle it’s a bit pain if you landing hard and if you touch power cord - video will not be saved and file will be corrupted, so definitely it’s use case for safe flights only.

[@verdi6092]

Happened to me too but i was using an extra regulator and capasitor between the smo4k to the batt lead. Fixed the connection and now when i crash its still recording

[@staticfpv881]

always knowing what I’m into JB. Looking at one today. I’ll make my own

[@upnorthFPVandEUC]

Interesting that Bardwell solders the camera's power lead to each quad.. it is waaay easier to use one lead for all quads and just connect the other end to balance lead of the lipo battery. I've been doing this for a year with zero problems. I run the SMO and hero 9 this way.

[@upnorthFPVandEUC]

@@aberthehamNot my genius.. copied from others but thanks!

[@SamHaberONE]

A big win for the gepRC hero8, is if you already have hero 8s and you want to be able to work with the same footage settings and workflow with footage from a smaller quad.

[@Max_N.]

[@AerialPixel]

Hey Joshua, great video as usual. Update to the 2021 version of Insta360 Studio, you then have the FPV option to use. I agree completely I like my naked GoPros (Hero 6 and 8) over the SMO 4K hands down.

[@nzii3]

Would you be able to review the “new” GEPRC Naked Hero 9/10/11? I’ve seen that it’s a little bit bigger than a normal naked gopro.

[@alphaghost13674]

How do you power the Geprc Naked GoPro Hero 8? I know it comes with a cable to solder to the FC, but I hear that could cause damage due to spikes on some boards used on naked gopros. I also see there is a cable to power from balance lead, but my concern would again be damage due to spikes. I see people powering from balance lead and use a 5v regulator in between the lipo and camera. So is the BEC on most boards not good enough protection?

[@nathaliewernimont-donfut894]

Hello Joshua! Thanks for your reviews, very interesting. Something I can't figure out is what SMO stands for. Although I have the naked 8 from GEPRC. For my general culture...thank you !

Reelsteady is GoPro’s best ally in FPV/drone footage. The moment you can use it with other smaller, cheaper cams, there will be no hesitation to switch to, say… a caddx peanut ;-)

[@TinkerTweakFPV]

So I noticed in video you applied your gopro settings before getting color graded.. Which I'm sure locked ISO, WB and so forth in protunes... I'd be curious what settings did you manually set or lock before the smo 4k was color graded? Also when you factor in post editing stabilization, which is included in insta360's software vs the realsteady add on which is another $100 for GoPro users. While it's surely a second in image quality, the smo4k comes out ahead a bit more in savings.

[@robertmcintyre6298]

Hello! This may be a dumb question because I am new to the hobby but how did you actually wire the power for the cameras into the drone? To the flight controller or the ESC and where? I have a CineWhoop that I would like to use this on to have it power it. Thank you!

[@flowstate_link]

I have this Naked GoPro case from GepRC you mention it takes standard Hero 8 filters? Is this right? If you have links and you have tested would be keen to see I have a feeling maybe it takes Hero6/6 filters? Very keen to get some filters.

Sadly all the "competition" to gopro has the issue with colors and hue. They all have either a red, blue or green color tint that's impossible to grade properly ):

[@JoshuaBardwell]

GoPro's color science is far from perfect, but lock ISO, lock white balance, and use flat color profile, and you definitely have something you can work with. Nobody else even comes close.

[@MoppelMat]

You should have locked iso and shutter on the 360, I bet that the colors dont shift then.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I don't lock shutter on any of my FPV systems because the exposure changes between sky and shadow are too extreme. If you lock both ISO and shutter, you will get pure blackness or pure white in some part of your recording, unless you are flying in a very controlled lighting situation. You have to lock ISO only and then let shutter compensate for changing exposure. The Insta and GoPro were set up as close to ideal as their software would let me.

[@RyanPiwarski]

@@JoshuaBardwell can you lock the exposure on both of these cameras?

HDR mode on SMO 4K looks much better than the normal one in challenging lighting. You lose FPV stabilisation but good for cinematic shots.

[@CJisFPV]

I disagree. The HDR mode isnt true HDR, its taking multiple exposures and combining them. which sounds great, but you get these ghosting effects with fast movement stuff... like FPV footage. The glider video on my page was shot in HDR mode. notice when I pass it you can see ghosting in the plane.

Now now. Remember that gopro does the exact same with its 4k recordings. Unless there is something i dont understand the sensor and lens is both fixed and if shooting 4k 4:3 the whole sensor is in use.. when shooting in linear or cinematic or hypersmooth or whatever the recording cannot be 4k even tho its outputted as it.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I know what you're saying, but the Insta360 situation is much worse. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpqtZ3ynadFpmsk GoPro is basically cropping in on the sensor to get different FOV. Ok that's understandable that if you go to a narrower FOV, it's digital zoom not optical zoom, so you don't get full sensor resolution. Insta360 is doing things like upscaling 1080p to 2.7k for 2.7k 100fps output, because the image processor can't do 2.7k @ 100 fps. So why lie? Why not just support 1080p @ 100 fps.

[@Troublesolver]

I agree 👍

[@Vousie]

@@JoshuaBardwell Of course they're lying... Isn't this the same company that took GPL code & illegally stuffed it into their proprietary firmware? Also, the Insta360 saying it's 4k but actually not recording in 4k isn't "kinda weird". It's *very scammy.*

[@thercbat]

Thanks for this video. Was very helpful. Think the 360 is what I can afford for now. The naked go parts like the bec board and case aren't easily available here sadly.

[@ProjectMockingbird]

The biggest thing I've found with almost anything that isn't GoPro is that the bitrate is just too low for a lot of "real" work and nobody really talks about that. Yes, sensor size and sensor play a big part too, but one of the big killers of the OG Insta360 Go was/is that 30-40mbps bitrate. The SMO says it will do 100mpbs but I haven't seen an FPV reviewer talk or show if that's true or not. Obviously the SMO is going to lose on resolution, but if it can not look like Campbell's Chunky Bit Soup by controlling bitrate, then it might be an okay option...maybe just not at that price. :)

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The 100 Mbps bitrate is kind of meaningless if the data being fed to the encoder is garbage. You just get a shitty looking high-bitrate file. But yeah I assume the bitrate they advertise is accurate.

[@ProjectMockingbird]

@@JoshuaBardwell true, if the sensor is shite, no need for good bitrate. I just haven’t seen a reviewer look into the settings on the smo or the desktop app to confirm bitrate. I know my 1st gen 360go does 33mbps 99% of the time even though 40 is advertised

[@moblades1]

So the thing in my experience with durability and cameras, a lot of it depends on the mount. For instance, the case from CMW is the best I have seen for protection. Might weigh a few grams more but it’s tough. I find those mounts that grab the middle of the cam leaving the ends exposed to be the least protective. I have a GP7 with cracked back screen and no cover on the USB that is proof lol.

For my naked hero 6 I just printed a case for the display that I can push on the back of the hero 6 and I can setup all my stuff.

In response to the editors comment. Since the camera runs Linux, I wonder if we could change the behavior of the sensor. I'm interested if anyone could test this.

Hello, I'm the editor :) Virtually, I believe it is possible, in practice you should reinvent the whole color science behind it, and most of the time it would invalidate the encoding and the post processing of the image which has quite strict parameters.
