In conclusion Pros VS Cons
Cons:
– It takes a long time to start the camera. Not ideal for run and gun 360 videographers.
– It takes a long time to stitch 8K photos in camera.
– In camera fan noise – affect audio recording quality (fixed now – has the option to turn the fan off)
– It can only have up to 1 hour continue recording time b/c of short battery life (recommended plugged-in AC power for long recording session)
– Gyroscopic Stabilisation is not up to expectation. Hand held gimbal is still recommended in my opinion
Pros:
– It can take up to 8K 360 3D still photo. It has RAW DNG output. Great for serious 360 photographers want to post process the photos
– Good design: Easy to see indication when the camera is recording, even in a distance.
– It can do 4k Livestream directly onto YouTube and Facebook with mobile app – also has the best quality for 360 Livestream so far compared to all the other camera
– Solid mobile app to control every aspect of the camera – barcode scan to adjust camera setting feature is step up of the game.
– Good & easy optical flow stitching. It comes with free Insta360Pro Stitcher software to help fast and accurate stitching. The stitching quality is the best I have seen so far compared to other cameras.
– High resolution. Far away subjects are still clear and look sharp (no more blurry 360 footage).
– Amazing customer support from Insta360 team (they have 24 hours support and response time is less than an hour on their facebook group!).
– In camera Gyroscopic Stabilisation
– Built in 8K and 8K 3D/Stereo Time-lapse feature: produce beautiful high resolution time-lapse easy
– Film up to 6K in 3D stereoscopic
