What's best underwater: The GoPro or the Insta360 X3? My results and conclusions

In a change from our regular programming - let's talk about underwater video. I figured that lots of people go on holiday and might want to film a snorkeling trip, so I decided to put these results here on the main channel. I normally post stuff like holiday videos and underwater stuff on my other channel / @currykittensrandomize...

Excellent video! You should consider upgrading to the Insta360 X4!!

[@SwingShoes]

That was an excellent and comprehensive comparison.

Cheers :)

Got my X3 last summer and purchased the dive case last week My 3 gopros are just collecting dust.

[@AwesomeSaussage]

Great footage! 👌🏼 Now I just need a X3 and some holidays ☀️😀

[@CurryKitten]

Everyone needs a good holiday!

I just came back from a dive trip using a GoPro 12 and an Insta360 X3. Both have their place. The X3 goes an amazing job on conveying the feeling of being underwater. The GoPro is much better for close ups, macro etc. I used 10 bit log for the GoPro without any filters. I then use LUTS to correct the 12's footage.

[@CurryKitten]

I tend to agree. On a dive, I'd be more inclined to have a GoPro as my movement would be less erratic, but I'm a complete convert to the Insta for snorkling

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty fantastic footage, Wayne! 😃 The footage from the Insta360 looks much better indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@CurryKitten]

Cheers MC!

Great👌

[@ched999uk]

Very interesting. I haven't seen underwater footage from gopro or insta before.

[@CurryKitten]

Here's me thinking everyone took a GoPro with them on holiday to poke at the fishes :)

@@CurryKitten You can't see much in the sea of Blackpool :-)

[@tomasogrossi]

Great video, really useful! What settings do you use on the Insta360 for diving? 4K 60fps?

[@CurryKitten]

No, as I want as much resolution as possible, I'm using 5.7k at 30fps. I'd like the 4k at 60fps, but once you edit it to the views you want, it can look at bit low res

[@irodriguez8870]

Where is this dive ? Looks incredible

[@CurryKitten]

All the footage where you can see a reef is on the island of Vilamendoo in the Maldives. The Manta/Whale Shark stuff was a few hours boat ride away

[@irodriguez8870]

@@CurryKitten no wonder because to see all this combined life it’s like once in a life time type of dive
