March 21, 2023. I bought mine a few weeks ago for a cruise to Jamaica and the Panama Canal. Wow! Great camera. The 360 video playback are just like being there. In the towns I carried it over my shoulder. Reviewing the video I see everything that I missed. Like what was going on behind me or out of my usual sight. I post the still 360's on FB so everyone can see what I saw the spot I was standing. This camera seems to have endless options for a fixed lens camera. I have the 3 meter stick and a remote. Thanks to this camera I can relive my vacation as it happened in all directions.

[@RobHK]

Awesome to hear that mate! I´m still waiting for my next big trip and can´t wait to see what this camera is capable of when travling!

[@hhhhheeeeeeyyyyyyy]

I had an x3 for over 10 months now. I got it last winter just before the snow season. I mainly used it as an action camera for snowboarding and skateboarding. I have used it on hiking trip, its somewhat convenient for taking selfies with the group, altho the quality cannot match gopro or some better phones. Imo, it works the best for actions, thats where this camera shines. Self filming on a snowboard made super easy, no need to worry about the camera angle, you can always get the right angle while editing. For skateboard videos, i have the 2-in-1 tripod stick. I set the camera in one spot, i can just skate different features around it, then edit the angle to follow myself. I also use it to film others doing lines, the stick allows me to put camera close to the skater, with the ultra wide angles i wont cut off the skater's head, the videos always turn out looking professional despite my zero filming skill. Super super forgiving filming action videos.

[@4120306]

Have you scratched the lenses snowboarding? Do you wear lens protector?

[@hhhhheeeeeeyyyyyyy]

@@4120306 i don't have a lens protector, but im planning to get one. A friend is using one with lens protector and it doesnt affect video the quality, or leave a line in the middle like some others claim. I would avoid using and bringing my x3 to the park if i plan to hit any boxes and rails, altho i used it on jumps.

[@airborneinferno]

Got the X3 last month in time for our trip to Iceland. Have to say I agree with all your findings. The biggest bonus is being able to record everything and actually be “in the moment” with the family. Not staring at an iPhone screen or through a viewfinder meant I could appreciate the views as well! Felt sorry for the guy with a drone who want allowed to fly due to local restrictions as I was able to “fake” a drone shot of the geyser erupting!! Thanks for tips about exporting footage. Will give those a try next time. Great work. 👊

[@RobHK]

Thanks a lot Rob! 😃 ikr, and putting the smaller invisible sticks on the 3m stick you get a 5m high "drone" shot!

[@bhouse92101]

I picked up one of these just last week for recording my motorcycle rides. It is amazing to capture EVERYTHING and not have to worry if the camera is tilted correctly. This thing is amazing. I despise having to edit the videos (I'd rather be riding) so I've used the "Auto" edit feature in the phone app to make shortened videos and it has worked well enough for now. I'm sure in time I'll get to use the desktop app. Thanks for all the tips!

[@RobHK]

Thanks for the input😃👍 can’t wait to take it out on my bike. Snow just dropped…again… so gotta wait another month probably… 😔

[@gyurxi551]

I really like this camera, but in all the sample videos I see that the video lags. :( I mostly using Osmo Action cam 2 and 3 with 30+ fps and those are aweome on my MTB ride. 2:03 However, the movement here is not very fast. So I have doubts that I won't regret it.

[@RAAR83]

Doesn’t Instagram compress your 4k image down to 1080p? If so, I’m curious if exporting to 1080p then uploading to instagram reels would be beneficial or if there is no difference.

[@philsgarage64]

Great review. Got the X3 and love it especially for my motorcycle filming as I don’t have to think about composing the shot. I place the X3 wherever I want and that’s it (Remote control is recommanded). However, I confirm 100% what you said and I want to emphasise: It’s a great COMPLEMENTARY camera, because … having those « whaoo » shots doesn’t make a film… As soon as you reframe and zoom in to avoid this wide angle & fisheye effect, you lose quality and it does not compete any actioncam. I went to New York only bringing the X3 as I though it would be the best place for awesome shots (and it was ) but during editing, I realised that I should have bring another more conventional camera, because X3 images , even on single lens mode, are too much « X3 looking » and can be boring if a film is only made of it (even used in a more conventional way). It’s a fantastic tool which will improve any film with spectacular views, but in my opinion and experience, it’s a topping on your ice cream, not the ice cream itself. (And using only a 360 camera mean a HUGE time to work the rushes in postproduction).

[@RobHK]

Thanks Phil! Appreciate you input on this. I Bought a bike last year right before winter season to make my trips/parking more convenient around here and can´t wait to use my X3 with it! I think if you have a GoPro/Action 2-3/Insta360 ONE RS and the X3 you have a nice travel setup. I would add the GO 2 tho as the extra cherry just cus of its head mount (Makes me use this over the Action 2)

[@Parking64]

@@RobHK I had the Action 3 and sometimes the X3 on the helmet, but it was quite heavy when I ride all day. I bought a second hand Action 2 mainly for the helmet and I use only the camera module. It’s much better. I considered the Go2 but having mainly DJI sensors (except the X3) gives me a more harmonised image and facilitate my editing.

[@RobHK]

Yeah i wouldn´t put it on my helmet tho. I think i´ll mainly be using the GoPro on the helmet to start with and then change to A2 or GO2 later to see how that is. And also the X3 mounted different places on the bike. First i need to start using this bike..been sitting in the office for 6 months now😅

[@windtherapy]

I think having it as a complementary or not depends. If you're a pro vídeo maker you would need other câmeras and not x3 at all. For me the x3 replaced it all and I don't have to care about other cameras, I just use my phone for some other images as the quality is better. High quality images are not the most important most of the cases. Ideas make great images.

[@zackpatel3506]

@@RobHKhi, just coming to your review now and spotted this comment. With what you’re saying about the one RS, would it not be better to just get the twin one RS then instead of an X3 as well as another action cam?

[@london5864]

I haven't even finished fully the video, but this is super helpful!!! I've been making living using pro photography and video gear for best part of 10years, always keeping up with new stuff. But this camera genuinely blows me away. From clunky matterport 5-6years ago to this little thing and the ease of use is just incredible.

[@spinnerboyz]

Got a feeling that this might be one of those toys I will use 2 times and let it catch dust on the shelf for years after. Especially if each file requires editing to make it watchable. Expensive investment if unless you really use it repeatedly and squeeze the value out of it.

[@markzanetti6228]

same here. the editing steps are not clear to me. it's not something I want to engage in much

[@RobHK]

You can enable direction lock and just render the clip and it will face the direction you put the entire duration. I have an updated video coming from my travels soon which is for…ye, beginners

[@projectmayhem2330]

I use mine for everything!! Its additive. Editing so the fun part!!! It’s very simple to edit. I film electric skateboarding, kids on the trampoline, walked around with it at my sisters wedding and got better footage than the official videographer. You can do so many artistic shots with it. You will definitely use it!! Especially if you have kids or enjoy outdoor activities.

[@ThatCleanMT]

This is a fantastic motorcycle camera. If you’re a rider and want the best camera experience, this is it. It’s like the gold standard.

[@brianegendorf2023]

I've had the original X for 2 years now, and I am now looking forward to an X3 that I just ordered. I am really looking forward to being able to film some things with both cameras at the same time.

[@linovarghese7164]

One thing to add - while editing via viewfinder, iPhone users get an access to rotate the video via gyroscope of the phone while Android users has to manually rotate the video. The gyro doesn't work on rotation. I found this recently

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Superb! Engaging. Well done. Thank you. X3 is remarkable. What adds to this magical experience is the app! I have captured 360 stills for a decade. But, 360 video is absolutely mind blowing. Reframing is mind blowing. This has changed my experience of the world. There is so much more happening around, above, below, behind me as I travel through space. A walk is no longer just a walk. Awe is now a constant companion.

[@Lhaffinatu]

We're right in the middle of a revolution in photography and videography. Just wait until the next generation DJI drones come out and have 360 style features built in! Add in all the crazy new stuff we're going to see available by using AI and things are set to change immensely in just the next few years. I'm really looking forward to what we're going to see in the next ten years! Thank you so much for demonstrating the Studio application! Editing only on my phone is driving me CRAZY! Yes, it is a very good editing app, and pretty easy to use, but it drives me nuts that I have to connect to the camera with WiFi while I'm editing. It makes using some of the editing features, like adding sound or other elements that are downloaded from the web, very difficult. Especially on a phone with limited memory space of its own.

[@RobHK]

Insta360 sells a 360 drone kit I believe 😃 but for sure! You’re welcome! Happy to help out bro👍😃

[@romxxii]

While chatting with a DJI clerk, he kept telling me it's better to get a standard action cam (like his company's own Osmo Action) instead of a 360, because with the latter I would have to worry about editing. I still bought a 360 x3, and boy was I glad I didn't listen to that guy. Snap editing raw 360 footage is stupid easy.

[@stuartdavis798]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to create and post this. Not enough people show the computer app. 2 questions, when you select Proress and type in 4k resolution how do we know it is not just scaling it up? Can you type in 8k? If so it is probably scaling it up. Some of your footage has a very fisheye look (not talking about the crazy globe shots) and some of it doesn't. How does one avoid the fisheye look?

[@Tdon789]

I just bought one of these for my motorcycle trips for me and my family to watch later. The biggest issue I have had is getting footage off sd card and getting it on external hard drive. Also I bought the insta card reader because I read that its compatible with iPad Pro but its not, the only way to connect to my iPad Pro is Wi-Fi witch is a really slow way to download videos off of the sd card. I would love a video surrounding these type of issues and fixes.

[@Tdon789]

By the way really nice video with lots of useful information.

[@ekkelandes]

The onscreen menu for this camera it's not well thought out, it works well when you sit on your desk and go through all the different function, but once you have it set up ready to take a shot it is not very precise when you move the icon across the screen.

[@nickjsky1]

Good info! In their computer app, is there a filter that corrects for the fisheye distortion when "zoomed out"?

[@RobHK]

No, you would need the plugin for premiere/after effect for that I believe. Only way is to zoom in, but then quality gets worse

[@omg11]

Did you try the options directly in the keyframe-window? (when adding or editing a keyframe) There is a "natural" option.

[@GracjanWolski]

How do you merge serveral insta360 clips together? Are you exporting them from studio and start a new project in other program? I know there's a plugin for premiere pro, but I'm searching for some other options. Thanks for all the other tips :)

[@RobHK]

Yes, and no. I have a video coming soon and ill add your question to it👍

[@bytmee69]

The export settings are spot on, I mucked about with this for ages before realising 4K ProRes is best One thing you can do in the current version of the studio application, export a video and continue editing, no need to queue your export jobs. Cheers :)

[@RobHK]

Thanks mate👍

[@jamespowers8826]

I've had the X3 for a while, but don't use it as much as I expected, mainly because it is just a pain to edit the 360 stuff. Reframing sounds good, but take a lot of time and the quality suffers any time you try to remove the fish-eye look, and footage with that look gets old pretty fast. It looks good in some situations, but doesn't really work for me. It does what it does well, just don't find it useful for me.

[@MegaMarkoni]

My view would probably be the same... I'll stick with my GoPro

[@RobHK]

Completely wrong imo… when you reframe, you actually edit a finished video which you export and add to your editing software, once the reframing is done, you’re done. The more level(horizontal) you frame it, the less fisheye, there’s also settings or selections to choose which takes most of it away. Ive been in hawaii now for 2 weeks already, ive never used the gopro this little, so much more fun and convenient with the x3. Never buying a gopro again🤙 Even underwater it hits the run

[@AndreWalsh93]

I’ll buy it from you much appreciated

[@pinoymedicvlogs]

I have my X3 for almost a year now and I'm using it on all my videos (it's my only camera😅) I find no issue anh loving it. Of course, it's not perfect, same as the other actions camera.

[@manuelstocker1]

good video, but don't tell people to change the export to 4k! you're looking to a small peace of a 5,7k video (so your real result is 1080p). if you change it to 4k, the software try to export a 1080p in 4k witch means you lose 4 times of your image quality (when working in other software afterwards. the videofile than is 4k but the real resolution is still 1080p so the software had to stretch every pixel by a factor of 4.

[@Godspeed961]

So whats the best quality you can get from exporting a video?

[@dmitripopov8570]

Wonderful, wonderful introduction! Thank you very much!

[@RobHK]

[@MarkMatthewsNJ]

I am considering buying and spent hours researching and your video is the only one that answered my questions. First the reframe export quality. Your many minutes long village tour at the start is "gold". It really shows the quality of the exported video and I am very happy with your results. I was struggling to find really good clip examples that were longer than a few seconds. My second question was I am struggling with the world moving to two different aspect rations of KZbin and TikTok and really been wanting a camera that I can shoot once with and export both outputs...and your video is the only one that has clearly demonstrated that to me. When I buy I will use your links... just waiting to see what the Go 3 announcement on June 27 is all about first. ha One question (if you are still reading, ha)... do you think this has the quality to also be your main "sitting at the desk, talking into lens" camera? or the quality of traditional dedicated 4k camera is so much better?

[@RobHK]

Desk sitting, you will need a lot of light. But you can use the single lens mode instead which will be a better fit👍 Also the go 3 and the x3 is to completely different cameras

[@MarkMatthewsNJ]

@@RobHK thanks for the quick response! The desk vlog not overly important to me.. my thought is to solve the "create content once, export hor and vert from same source" problem. I'll tinker when I get it but not a deal breaker Go 3... yes, different use cases! 90% the X3 fits my needs. Saw a youtuber comment saying they think the new Go will have a bubble lense also, like half of a 360. And I wonder if thats true AND they jam more pixels into that one lens, will it meet my needs? Wont know till I see it. thanks again.

[@suenord1]

I have had the OneX 2 and One X, but all the Insta360 cameras have a gap in the footage every half hour, including the X3, so I just use the Qoocam 8k now. If anyone is trying to film concerts or bike rides over 30 minutes, the holes in the footage are a real pain. The Qoocam has overheating problems, but is not a problem in Norway.

[@RobHK]

The video is kept on the sd card and you can transfer the oroginal yes. But even when editing the clip in the app and export a smaller part, the video will still be in its whole and you can later go back to the same clip and just remove key frames or tracking etc👍 3m has no buttons.

What was the size of your ProRes video. I don’t export large ProRes files , which I notice thee quality between my GoPro hero 11 and instagram 360 are night and day. The 360 has way more functionality than go pro, but my go pro not in ProRes is way better quality form end to end on the screen. 360 seems to be only sharp and clear in the center of the frame and really soft on the edges. Has to be the export in ProRes. I will give it a try once and see if it helps. I use my MacBook Pro with 360 and so far haven’t been impressed with video quality on 4k export.

i have a 360 oneX. You think its worth the upgrade? The problem i dont like is taking pictures...you have to be absolutely still or you get a blur

[@RobHK]

Definitely worth the upgrade! 100%

[@clopes50]

Another great review! Thanks Rob!

[@RobHK]

Thanks a lot, Carlos! 😃

[@pgVeritas]

Thank you for such a thorough and easy to understand review of the X3. I have one of the original insta360 One R cameras which I don’t really use. I’m planning on buying the X3 so I can add some 360 video in an easier to use format for my motorbike. The battery on the original OneR is pretty poor at around 30mins. Thats why I don’t tend to use it because it needs to be powered on the bike. I believe this X3 has a far longer battery life, which is why I’m justifying buying it!

[@RobHK]

Thanks mate🙌😊

[@Subasnow]

Hello, for car videos only what is your opinion, X3 or X2?

[@RobHK]

X3 all the way, its worth the little extra even when the price of the x2 has dropped a bit. Bigger and better screen and bigger sensor👍 Video will be much easier to work with. I have a link in description which includes free accessories if you wanna check it out 👍

[@Subasnow]

@@RobHK Thank you.

[@shadowfire77]

Nice video! Just ordered my own X3 and will experiment with it this weekend. A question; how long selfie stick did you use on these recordings (i.e. the example clip you edited in the studio app in the end)?

[@RobHK]

I used the 3m stick on all shots almost👍 only beginning had the 2 smaller

[@inertia.moments]

Thank you. I was hesitating between GoPro 11 and X3. Seen a lot of X3 reviews but still indecisive. After watching yours, I'm going to get the X3.

[@RobHK]

Awesome, Glad i could help! I have a new video on travel shots dropping today, its amazing the things you can do with this! If you want the free accessories when you get it, i have a link in the description for that 👌😃

[@EduardodeRegules]

Great video 👍

[@rotorfpv4117]

when you use app the clip is on the phone or still on the sd card in camera? Ask because my phone has only 32 gb internal memory

[@RobHK]

On the sd, but exporting is happening to your phone.

[@rotorfpv4117]

@@RobHK why on the phone? Why app has a more functionality than my desktop with i7 :)

[@mojoswifty360]

Overheats after 15 to minutes of HD recording. Bums me out.

[@RobHK]

Mine runs out of battery at 87-90 min🤷‍♂️

[@almartin4]

I have n X3 on order but have one question. I only have a linux OS laptop and no cell phone. Are the X3 apps, software and equipment compatible with linux? Regards

[@RobHK]

Idk 🤷‍♂️ you might find this info on insta360’s website

[@CRA677]

I have found that the video footage is terrible when zoomed into objects more than around 9 meters away (e.g. full body shot of a person). The only way I have found to get around this is to record in single-lens mode, which then doesn't allow me to do any zooming or tracking when edited in the Insta360 app.

[@theavangelist]

16:00:00 The quality of the file looks terrible, it's oversharpened and full of artefacts, is that common with this @RobHK?

[@PAN2202]

I can’t achieve such video quality on my X3, I went through all the settings, but the quality is very frustrating. The color is very nice on your video. How did you paint it like that? My picture is loose and crumbles all over. I bought X3 yesterday and was a little upset about the quality of the video, but I watched your video and now I don't know what to do to get a picture of this quality.

[@RobHK]

Thanks a lot mate. Im working on a complete guide, how to shoot, edit and export to get quality just like in this video. 50% of my magic lays in my Signature LUTs which is used to grade. But stay tuned for that video👍 will definitely help

[@PAN2202]

@@RobHK Thanks for the quick response ! I'll be waiting for your recommendations!

[@9catlover]

i am total newbie with cameras...maybe i should get the most basic model Insta360 One X. The video footage is really stunning

[@RobHK]

One x will be harder to use than x3. X3 has all the new tech and a much easier camera control👍

[@9catlover]

@@RobHK Thank you. That is great to know

[@Generation9ty]

which selfi stick is this?

[@RobHK]

3m carbon👍

[@Generation9ty]

thanks will buy it

[@rotorfpv4117]

did you use a warp post stab??? your videos after export are veeery smooth.. like in 50/60 fps. how is it possible???? I have 1 inch version and problem with smoothness... I export to 25 fps, 4k too like you

[@RobHK]

Watch my latest x3 creative reframe vid and youll see😊

[@RichardOutdoors]

You mention lots of ‘whats’ but very few ‘hows’. Me mode, for example.

[@doubletapmoney]

You gotta a a real slow person not to understand how to work this camera. It’s simple to use. And easy to work the features it comes with.

[@grahampearce2405]

does anyone know the music used in the start of the video. thanks in advance.
