NO ONE KNEW! Insta360 X3 Hidden Feature『 Insta360 X3 Review』

[@Pete_R63]

It is such a great feature that you can just shoot and later decide what you want to see. I was snowboarding and holding my old Insta360 ONE behind me and a dude comes up yelling to me, "Dude! Dude! Your camera! It's not pointed at anything!" I said, "It's 360, it is pointed at EVERYTHING!"

[@360vroomers]

[@Wagoo]

I'm not so bothered about me-mode, but I like to record footage at live gigs sometimes.. and realised in the front row recently that my digicam couldn't zoom out far enough to really see much of the guitarist who was stood right in front of me. So I got my iPhone 14 pro max out and recorded a wide angle shot with that.. and it was fun to then edit those together later. But I don't want both my hands tied up at a gig.. I need one free to throw in the air along with the band.. so insta360 x3 hanging on a necklace around my neck is what I'm going to try. I've got the normal lens covers fitted, so hopefully they do a good job in that regard

[@360vroomers]

For footage of concerts I suggest insta360 Flow instead. X3 is too wide unless you want to emphasize the audience. Here is my review of Flow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHuye3ZthLOogZY

[@Wagoo]

Thanks. It's definitely good to know about, but I wouldn't trust holding my phone in the air on a gimbal at a concert I think. I have a Sony HX with a powerful zoom as my main handheld cam.. and really the Insta360 X3 is a secondary wide angle view I could cut to in the footage if needed. I bought the X3 already and have had it a few days, so I'll try it out this weekend :)

[@360vroomers]

Ok I see. If you already have tele covered with the HX then yes the X3 could complement it very well.

[@panobratsk3607]

Does the camera use light n dark pixels separation for ActiveHDR?

[@360vroomers]

Hi panobratsk360. As far as I can tell, active HDR uses some pixels with normal exposure, then uses other pixels to expose for highlights. This enables the video to capture a wider dynamic range especially in the highlights.

[@sadskateshop]

Heey how is the slow motion? is it 4k 120fps?

[@360vroomers]

Hey there Longboarding! It doesn't have 4k 120fps except in bullet time. For 360 mode, it can shoot 4k 60fps. For Me Mode it can shoot 1080p 60fps, which LOOKS similar to a reframed 5.7k 60fps.

For durability, Max's removable lens cover works well enough and it has decent water resistance and very good video quality.

So...following the 'inch RS 360' route, with tracking in lieu of 'Me Mode' ONE advantage is - the 'Me' can be 'YOU' or ANY other tracked person/object ANYWHERE in the 360 sphere! Right? Is the RAW HDR (inchRS360) definately inferior to the Active HDR on X3? (For this 'real-time stitched half imagery' aka MeMode vs. stitched and Tracked 360 on the TWINCH!) In Me Mode (PRESENTLY X3 only!) are the two recorded files ONLY of the TWO half frames or include the TWO FULL FRAMES?

[@360vroomers]

Hey there Tonkabollocks! Great questions! Here are the answers: 1. Yes correct, with tracking, the subject can be anyone or anything. And you can switch subjects in the middle of the video. The disadvantage is that the tracking is only 99% reliable. Occasionally, if the subject changes too much in such a short time then the tracking might stop and you’ll have to restart tracking from that point. With x3 me mode, you don’t have to worry about that. 2. 1-inch 360 has no hdr video mode. X3 active hdr is for video not photo. So for high dynamic range video, x3 is better. Both 1-inch and X3 have hdr photo. For photos, 1-inch 360 is better. 3. Yes me mode only records half frames in the insv files.

[@360vroomers]

@@alensukaj4226 hi Alen. To have 4k non-360 reframed video without upscaling would require a 360 camera to capture 16k 360 video. But at the beginning of this video when I was at the skatepark, what did you think about that footage? That was the Me Mode at 1080p 60fps. It’s not as detailed as a Hero but it has a really cool 3rd person view. So you’ll have to decide if that trade-off is acceptable.

[@alensukaj4226]

@@360vroomers Yea that is true, the video doesnt look bad at all tbh.

[@360vroomers]

@@alensukaj4226 I think so too. Otoh the 3rd person view is definitely noticeable and looks very cool. That’s why personally I prefer to use a 360 camera and I’m not alone in that. If you look at social media, many EUC riders, esk8ers, and Onewheelers for example shoot with insta360 or GoPro max. I would say more than GoPro Hero.

Compared onex2 onex3's sensor is more bigger than previous one?

[@360vroomers]

Hi Minhai. The x3 has slightly bigger 1/2 inch sensor instead of 1/2.3 inch.

[@rjkral]

Great video and wonderful ideas as usual from you! With Me Mode, is the only advantage when compared to subject tracking (in editing) that you don't need to edit if you KNOW you only want yourself tracked? Any other advantage?

[@360vroomers]

Thanks Robert! Convenience is the main advantage. I would say it is also control and predictability. Tracking works very well but occasionally it gets confused. With me mode, you aren’t dependent on tracking to work. It always works the same way.

[@GearDownCrawlerz]

hello. my x3 is in the mail. first 360 camera. have u seen any protection lens covering yet, as you talked about. or has any one made a solution to protect it ...

[@360vroomers]

Congrats!!! You're gonna love it! As for protection, the cap I used was the Theta Z1 cap but it fits X3 amzn.to/3C1Z5r1 Stay tuned for my next video with new tips for X3!

[@JuanCarlos-gc8lp]

Hi, nice info Mic. I'm interested only in virtual tours. What do you think about the best photo quality with Insta360 X3 vs One RS 1" 360 vs Ricoh Z1 ?? Thanks

[@360vroomers]

Hi Juan! Between those, I would get 1-inch or Z1. Z1 is sharper in the middle, while 1-inch is sharper at the edges. But if you really want good quality virtual tour, the best way is to use a DSLR, which takes a few more minutes to shoot, but is much faster to edit. Here is a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZmzkGubj7l6n9k

[@JuanCarlos-gc8lp]

@@360vroomers Thank you so much Mic. I know it but sometimes I need to do 360 in one shot, so I already have a Z1, but unfortunately last week dropped it and broke one lens. I need to replace it and which one would you buy again ?? What do you think about. Thanks

[@eagle1107flyer]

Where do you get that screen protector? Didn’t see it on the store

[@360vroomers]

I didn't use a screen protector. And not even Insta360 knew about this hack :D

[@williams9859]

I really enjoyed the video!

[@360vroomers]

Thank you very much William!!!

[@briannolen5013]

Great review thanks for sharing! Would the me mode still work tracking you if the x3 was set on a tripod and you moved around physically in the frame? Like if you were filming yourself riding a bike, riding a horse, skateboarding, etc and wanted different views other than just POV?

[@360vroomers]

Thanks Brian! Me mode is for capturing a 3rd person view like an invisible flying camera effect. If you want to put it on a tripod and set the tripod down, then have the video follow you as you move around, you should use the normal 360 mode. Then use the tracking feature as you suggested.

[@itekiti]

My only one question is, does it work with the Google Street View app for taking spherical panoramas?

[@360vroomers]

Yes just tried it and it can, in single or interval mode.

[@treysvideoart]

I have a question! If I film in 4K , do I upload to KZbin in 1080p for better quality video?

Hi Treysvideoart6475. you should upload to KZbin in 4k for better quality.

[@DeccaUK]

Does the single lens action camera mode have horizon leveling?

[@360vroomers]

Hi Derek. The single lens has two modes. In one mode, up to 4k, there is no horizon leveling. In the FOV+ mode up to 2.7k, it is similar to insv file and it has horizon leveling.

[@nemesis851_]

Around the 9:00 video, the crispness in darkness didn't seem high? I'm actually going to get this one

[@360vroomers]

Congrats Nemesis! IIRC, that was one of the first videos I shot and the sharpness was set to High to compare to X2 (which has sharpness stick at high). In the other videos, like the ones at the skatepark, I set the sharpness to Low.

[@Mario-yx6tu]

Hi NIck, I need help, im new to the 360 cameras. I recently found out about the Dual fisheye for the Z1 and ive been using it to take DHR DNG photos. My problem is that ones I stitch it with either (Theta stitcher or PTgui) my photos don't appear as 360 on google photos or FB for example. I've been trying different things all day and cant get the pictures to work properly. I hope you can help. Thank you.

[@360vroomers]

Hi Mario! The issue is that you'll need to add 360 metadata. See here: 360rumors.com/facebook-360-photo-not-working-2021/

wow!! best review... nice trick with lens cap hack! hahaha just have one question, about the 8k time lapse, can we shoot 8k time lapse with "one RS 1 inch 360" or just in this new one "X3"?

[@360vroomers]

Thanks Alisson! Re 8k time lapse, it's only for x3. RS 1 inch timelapse is 6k

[@markasquith8070]

hi Mic great coverage - it is marginally larger than X2 (33mm vs 29.8mm thick) and 1mm taller - will current X2 accessories - eg dive case - fit the X3? I note you say footage is marginally better than X2 - can you put a percentage on it -eg 10% better - and compare with RS 1" video quality too?

[@360vroomers]

Thanks Mark. I would say the difference in image quality is so small that you cant tell but there are 3 exceptions: me mode is similar to 5.7k60 and active hdr is significantly better than hdr video and red dot flare is gone.

[@pantainn]

I wonder that too, having to buy all those accessories again for a new camera that's almost identical in form factor is a bit of a shame really. Reuseability would be more friendly to the users AND the climate. e.g. I can use the One X lens cap on the One X2. One of those is now a spare since I put my One X2 in a pouch, better for the lenses. Now I can eventually use that lens cap for the X3 when I'd buy it. What about the dive case? having to need a new quick reader pure for those extra 0.3mm seems completely a waste to me. Does the 72MP in photos make a difference in a VR headset is qomething I wonder about.

[@markasquith8070]

Thanks Mic, Pan; realised that the x2 dive case won't work as the record button is in a different place and there's no control for the new side fast menu. I suspect other cases/lens covers wont quite fit either. Love the x2 and there are some good improvements as you say Mic - red flare has spoiled many a shot! Active HDR also looks better.... Guess the RS 1" remains king of image quality. X3 also 20% heavier by at 180g.

[@Haggis305]

So I don’t really require a waterproof camera and I’m ok with the budget to purchase either camera…..What would you purchase. The 1 inch or the x3?

[@360vroomers]

Hey there Haggis305. If you want the absolute best quality, 1-inch. If convenience is more important, x3. ☺️

Thanks Jeremy! I will post a link to samples in a few hours.

[@inknpaintCW]

48kHz sampling audio is HUGE in comparison to what they have had in the past. Currently wrestling with GoPro Max for a 360 course ... my students and I have been very underwhelmed with the workflow and end results in comparison to my Insta experiences.

[@360vroomers]

Hey there Chris. Yes iirc they used to have 16khz. I think Max has very good image quality but the workflow might leave beginners frustrated, which saps their enthusiasm.

[@aconlin]

Accessories, are the x2 ones compatible? Mic adaptor, dive case, batteries etc

[@360vroomers]

Most of them are different. The X2 lens protector might work. Not sure about dive case. Battery is different. Mic adaptor depends how new yours is.
