After watching this, I am leaning more on the X3 for the same reasons you mentioned...it's 360! Pretty sure that down the line, there will be a 360 camera with better video quality but this seems it will hold up for a while.

    I love this camera. I use this camera specifically for riding on my motorcycle to be able to catch EVERYTHING. The beauty of this camera is that you don't have to point it in any direction. Obviously you would want to have it face a certain direction most of the time, but it isn't dependent upon you making sure it is always facing the "right" direction.
    The only other "con" (you didn't mention it) is that you have to edit the 360 footage and export it so you can add it to your video editing software. It's a necessary step, but totally worth it, but it IS an extra step in your process.

    Thanks for doing this. Gave me a way better understanding of the camera function and features than the manufacturer videos. As someone who owns a DJI drone too, this camera seems like a better purchase than a drone. Draws less attention, basically no restrictions, you get some very similar, if not better angles. Seems like best investment for explorers everywhere. Thanks again.

I currently use a iphone 14 pro to do A and B rolls, and it works great however i am a windows user and find it frustrating getting footage off and I'm constantly running low on space. This was on my list of things to buy as i intend to strap it on my car but I would rather avoid buying another camera to do the A and B rolls.

      @@trycrlos It works great. It is hard to tell if it adds to my editing time, but the freedom to just pick whatever shot you want is great. The audio pickup with the internal mic is 'good' if not great, setting up the external works well, but I have not used that so much, because it adds to the fumble time. I did have one issue, and that was with a video I had to dump because for whatever reason the camera didn't record. This was a pretty cold day, -25c so maybe that is why.

      It does the same thing the Gopro does except the Gopro will split files up into 5min 20sec files. So it will shoot more than 30mins at a time but it breaks the file into smaller more manageable size to work with. Honestly this isn't a con at all when you consider other action cams file limits are much lower.

    The temperature issue is not well tested indoors where the ambient temp is often in the low 70's F. I have experience some issues with overheating when in full sun and 90+ degree weather. So consider both the ambient temp and the shade factor when using the X2 or X3. If you need to get footage you may have to plan for some cooling stops or other cooling methods.

    • @RobHK
      @RobHK  Před 4 měsíci +1

      The cons i have is the quality, the lenses are obvious even before buying, its not a regular action camera even if it has single lens mod. Its the same for all 360 cams.
      But wish quality was better tho😊

    The idea of having all angle footage and not thinking what shot angle you need to take is wonderful... there is no need to worry that the footage will be bad coz we can see from all angle XD. I kinda wonder tho, so basically if u went for a walk and use this 360 then does that mean you re holding to a 3 m long stick T.T coz it just looks awkward

  • @AldrikEthelward

    I realized the same the most important thing !! after the two last updates they improved a lot or unbloked the real full quality image of the X3 recording in 360 5,7k 30fps probably the same sowftware update parameters that use in X4 recording in 5,7k 360 30fps and before was worst still setting everything perfect in manual , and i think this is a "comercial marketing" now that people buy X4 "not all people will do videos in 8k 360 too much memory space" Insta360 decided touching the software raise the image quality in the X3, now is amazing in X3 and everything looks cleaner and looks spectacular.

      it´s good, just like a gopro, or action 3. But you´ll always get the best low-light if you go by manual settings and dial in that way to keep the iso/shutter from changing. I will have a video on this in a month, from Honolulu city, so if you can, stay tuned ^^:D

    Yes, it's a fun camera! I have to learn to stop using keyframes like kids use zoom. (look over here, no over here , wait check this out).
    My biggest gripe is that I can't upload as a 360 video or cardboard to my personal Google Photos account. It will work once but once I send a link to a friend, it will revert to a splayed panorama (or Mercator-like projection) for them and me. I'm not ready for CZcams and I don't/won't do Facebook.
    Haven't tried uploading to my domain yet but a link back to photos would suffice. Otherwise I'm quite happy but wondering what the next camera-of-the-day is going to be.
