This is a demo is of me dragging around the 360 footage inside Insta360 Studio. This is not the first time that I have used the One X, but it is the first time I have flown with it.
It is not something I can see myself taking on every flight as its a pain to take off and land with unless you can be creative with mounting it, but you have to agree that it does capture some unique footage that’s edited afterwards, quickly or uploaded as full 360.
YouTube does not give the camera quality justice as the camera records at 5.7k, obviously only a portion of that visible at any one time.
Here are some issues that I have found with the Insta360 One X:
1. You need to take the battery out after charging else it will be flat when you come to use it. I have turned all the features off, especially wifi, but it still drains the battery when off. Friend’s who own the camera have mentioned this also.
2. The pc and mac software (Insta360 Studio) is premature compared to phone apps. The phone apps can create pretty decent edited non-360 footage that have special effects and can follow moving objects, but limited to only exporting 4k 360 footage whereas the pc and mac app will only export 360 footage but up to 5.7k but lacks the features that the phone apps have. But, exporting is stupidly fast on all platforms.
3. Stitching isn’t perfect (look at the blue frame next to my reserve), but ~£500 is cheap for an entry level 360 camera.
4. The camera has to be physically plugged into your phone for live streaming.
5. Lens scratches very easy but does come with a pouch.
6. There is no way to connect an external microphone.
7. The screen is almost impossible to see on a sunny day.
8. The camera defaults to photo when you turn it on, so you have to switch modes every time you turn the camera on.
Sorry for the faffing, but I was trying to figure out where to put the selfie stick.
