Fantastic video!!! 👌 I have this camera also but tend to use the GoPro. But I’m interested in the moto mount. Buying it now for when I’m back to cycling. 🚲
Hey Thanks Matt! I had a lot of fun making it. I think the mount is worth it, only thing is it’s a bit heavy, so I don’t use it all the time and kind of “plan out” when I use it. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Best video I found on cycling positions. Thank you.
Love this video thanks for sharing! I have just bought one and will be sharing my cycling in Northern Ireland and the fantastic roads that are here
I just bought one and waiting for handle bar mount thanks for video!
Thank you for explaining and showing how simple it can be
Great video Patrick
Thank you Ash!
Thanks bro great tips for insta 360 one x2 love it
🙏🙏🙏
Really good video man, been wondering about this for a while thanks to all the footage you upload on instagram with this camera! could you also share how you added the riding info at the end with the RPM, power, heart rate, etc!
Hey Seb thank you! 360 cam in my opinion is a worthy spend for the content you can get : ) For the overlays I use the Garmin Virb app on mac, @thevegancyclist made a grea video explaining this - czcams.com/video/v4Xd-Ozi4So/video.html beware that the app is SUPER GLITCHY and awful to use lol
I've been using releasable cable ties to just mount the selfie stick only various parts of my frame. Even tying it on the Chain stays backwards or at an angle secured on both the chain stay and seat stay (obviously on the non drive side), plenty of options. To make it grip the frame a bit better I added some rubber between the frame and the selfie stick also protects my frame
That’s a great idea!
This is impressive.
What about the rattle?
Are there unwanted sounds, especially on rougher terrain?
Thank you Patrick for this video as a fellow Cyclist, I am thinking of buying the Insta360 ONE X2 and was thinking the Bike Bundle should do it, however I love that Motorcycle Mount its solid which I need, so I think I will go for the Motorcycle Bundle as it will stay on the stem or seat post fixed. I have a GoPro which remains on my Chest most of the time so that covers the front angle instead of me constantly stopping and moving mounts around. I also love that free style mode holding the selfie stick high up, thus it looks like a drone shot. Brilliant video Patrick, really helped me out here.
Hey Punjabi Cyclist, check out my latest video with a new mount made of the new bike mount that just came out, it’s fairly inexpensive and might be a worthy addition to your shooting arsenal czcams.com/video/0VVnEbgam34/video.html
Very love it ideas
very nice video !!
I have a question.How to mount insta 360 x2 with aero handle bar and seat post ?
Cool. I like the sitting shot! 😁
Haha nice!
Thanks
Very nice cemera
Amazing video m gonna use this tricks now thanks for this
🙏🙏✌️🙏🙏 let us know how it goes!
Good job thanks
Thank you!!
i´ve watched many reviews on this camera b4 deciding to buy it, but this one is by far the best video so far.
very practical, showing exactly what i wanted (the mounts and gears and whatnot while actually riding a bike rather than only the technical geeky aspects of the one x2).
as soon as my camera arrives, i´m sure i´ll try all the examples of footage you showed on this video, patrick.
thanks a lot! keep up the good work.
Hey Thank you Gabriel! I hope you like it as much as I do bro
awesome deepdive! with this amount of accessories, where do you store them when not in use? do you have a preferred bag like a top tube or stem bag to store them?
Hey Rnajsebs I usually just stick them in my back jersey pockets, or a bum bag; or for long missions I carry a salomon trail running backpack : ))
nice video ..guys can you please help me out which one should i buy insta x3 or gopro11 or osmo action 4 ...my requirement is for motovlog and travel vlogs ..but im worried the quality of insta is only 1080 p in 360 mode ..can we upscale the footage to 2.7k or 4k without compromising the quality again ...kindly suggest thanks
Great Video, very complete. What about battery life? This has been GoPro’s achilles hill in the past. The X2 is so small, how does it hold up?
Hey Stephan! Battery in general is the only thing that I don’t really like in this camera, just because the battery is pretty bulky. A GoPro you can have multiple batteries and it’s just a little rectangle, in this case a second battery is gonna be around 2-3x the size of a GoPro battery. But regarding battery life, for general day to day use like film something on a ride, film at the beach, it actually lasts pretty long. I usually get thru a whole day. If I’m filming a lot on the bike, like 3-4 minutes segments, the battery will drain kind of fast but not dramatically. Overall I’m pretty satisfied with the battery performance
That was a detailed video. Appreciate the work mate. Was thinking of buying a GoPro since I'm cycling here in Da Nang, Vietnam which is beautiful. Insta 360 seems better.
Hey thanks! They both are great cameras, with their strong points. Tbh the only advice I can share is to try them out and see which one you like the most. One thing that I didn’t mention in the video is that the insta’s audio quality, if that matters to you, is absolute GARBAGE 😂 cheers
nice !!! Cycling in Phuket :) I'll be back in Phuket in 4 days :) I also made a video with the X2 in Phuket last year
Nice 👌🏻, seems like your getting much better shots with the motorcycle mount than the cycling specific handlebar mount
For variety, I would def recommend the Moto Mount; To be honest though, nowadays I just got used to filming 90% of the time just holding the pole in my hand, or sitting on it on the saddle ahah. I do still use the moto mount or chest mount sometimes
@@PatrickDelorenzi thanks for the reply dude, just out of curiosity, what is the diameter of your stem as mine is a 36 mm with the verniers.
@@alexdoherty8200 this is the stem i mounted it on www.saldenbikes.com/kru-k-class-classic-stuurpen-20.html
@@PatrickDelorenzi cheers dude, did you buy it specifically for the set up?
@@alexdoherty8200 nono, it's just a very standard stem I already had 😇 and it's aluminum so you can camp hard
I have been using a oneR for a few years now. I use hte invisible SS and also for gravel a bite mount with a short unicorne pole and have had really good success. I dont use the mounts becasue I will never need more than a few secods of any clip.
Hey Andrew! I’m starting to realize that too… the mount is a big hassle, like you I kind of always end up using 3-5 second clips. The only clips I might use longer are the POV shots, but I discovered I can just put the Insta360 between my chest and my hr strap and it works perfect as a chest mount 😂 Have a great day! ✌️
I have learned a few filming tricks too, that help me create some of the movements.
These arefun little cameras!!!
Add an extra clamp to create a triangle of support when you think there might be a chance of the selfie stick loosening.
Great video! What device/software did you use to get the power data rendered in the video?
Hey Mohawk in- I used Garmin Virb importing my own footage. The vegan cyclist has a great tutorial on it!
@@PatrickDelorenzi Thanks! This video is super helpful!
Nice video! Please how did you mount for the POV shot.... You didn't state that in the video
Camera in the mouth haha
@@PatrickDelorenzi hmmmm, so no sustainable I guess
You could check out the mouth surf mount by GoPro, or if you want you can simply use a sticky mount on the helmet
Love the review! Is there a difference on motorcycle mount to the bicycle mount? They have this “cycling kit” i’m wondering which one to get. I usually do road or gravel riding.
Hola my friend - so the difference is the cycling kit is lighter, but only allows for a shot from the front; the motorcycle mount is heavier, but sturdier and allows for more flexibility being that you can angle it to the right and left
Personally unless I have to film any specific downhill stuff I don’t use any mount’s usually
Great Video, very complete. One thing I don’t think you mentioned, was battery life which, has been Go Pro achilles hill.
Hey Stephan! The battery is ok, not as bad as GoPro. One from the insta would last me filming half a day or a full 2-3h ride if I’m filming a lot
@@PatrickDelorenzi Are you saying the battery, once I start filming, can last 2-3 hours?
@@mohawkin Hi! Around 1 hour and 10-20 minutes continuous shooting
Thanks for the tips. How did you fix the stitch line? I tried it while riding but the stitch line is so bad as soon as I rotate the fov to front view.:(
Hey! Hmm that’s weird, do u have the sticky lens on?
Well done. Planning to return my drone and just buy this instead. Tnx
Noo!! Keep the drone AND the insta, and pump out insanre content : )))
@@PatrickDelorenzi thanks
Ciao! Vorrei prendere la mia prima action camera e mi interessa molto la insta one x2. Per iniziare pensavo di prendere lo stick e la cinghia pettorale (che ne pensi?) però avrei una domanda a proposito di quest'ultimo: serve un accessorio per montare la one x2 sul chest mount? Prenderei quello originale ma se hai un consiglio a riguardo lo apprezzerei molto..
PS abito in trentino e faccio mtb su starada sterrata e sentiero.
Buon anno nuovo e grazie! :)
Hola, si ti serve un aggancio che va da GoPro a vite filettata del cavalletto, c’è ne sono parecchi online e funzionano tutti; prendine una a caso su Amazon così se non funziona puoi rimandarla! Ps se riesci prendi la x3
Hello, thank you for sharing this great video. I am commuting and want to make sure I can film the front and back, as we have many crazy drivers here. Also, I am cycling home in the dark many times. Would you still recommend it?
Hey jar’s! I don’t know to be honest, it might work but I haven’t tested it in that scenario
Want to do the same. Have you tried this camera since your first message ?
@@romaric9874
I did buy it. It is 100 times better than the cheap camera I had. the stabilization is amazing. It is ok for the evening but will need to still try to change to the night setting, Just learning. daylight is great quality. Night is ok.
@@katscraft I bought one too. Like you, night OK, day great. I will make some test next days. By night it's hard to read car's ID in loop recording with 30 fps. I will try better settings.
I was thorn which one I'm getting the insta one x and insta one r twin edition. Thanks for this review.
check out the official insta360 fb group a lot of people have asked the same question facebook.com/groups/Insta360OneCommunity I would go with the X3 store.insta360.com/product/x3?insrc=INRZXYB&KOL&PatrickDelorenzi&X3Launch
New to the 360 cam world here.
I just got the one rs and I'm looking to mount it vertically using a small mount on either my handlebar or stem.
My noob question is, which way should I point the lens? If forward, it sees more(?) Or zero stitch issues to the front, but more surface area for the wind. But if the lens is facing to the sides, it's a little more aero than the other way 😂 but if I'm on the wheel of someone, would it stitch them incorrectly? Or does it even matter?
Thanks!
Hey 0 views! I usually point the camera out in the front with one lens facing up and one lens facing down - if I’m pointing it out the front and to one side, I point one lens towards th inside and one lens to the outside (so vertical). Tbh I don’t think it makes a difference haha
Very informative vdo. Where can I get the Unicorn Mount? Thanks, Somboon
Hello, I got mine from LAZADA in Thailand, but can be found in a lot of places online; search for Insta360 motorcycle mount
I referred to your link for the new third person handle bar bike mount, how is it compared to the motor cycle mount? I am looking to use on road bike mainly. Thank you 😊
Handlebar mount pros: easy to use, light, easy to carry - cons: limited angles. For the price it’s 100% worth it to have
Moto mount pros: a lot of different angles and creative options, good build quality - cons: very heavy, hard to carry, I always end up not taking it tbh unless I need to get some specific shots. Have a great day Ashton!
@@PatrickDelorenzi thank you for ur most honest opinion, it’s really helpful for me! Has subscribe ur channel for more of ur content! Cheers 😊✌️
How you enter and display data, such as cadence, speed, heart rate, and the like. From your sensors, to your video? Is there any Insta360 recognition, or any specific filter?
Hi Joao! There is a built in insta360 function, but personally I use Garmin Virb app importing the gpx data as Gmetrix from my computer
The scrotum shots were very interesting. Who knew that the taint was like a built-in mount?
thanks for the vid! 2 questions though. 1. i bought the cycling kit, the mount and pole are different from what you have in the vid. why? 2. the pole screw to the mount and very easy gets loose. your pole looks like the insta360 invisible stick, i don't think it comes with the cycling kit.
Hey Kevin! This is the “Moto mount” (that I don’t really use anymore) and the standard Insta360 selfie stick. Damn, as far as the pole screw getting loose I don’t know to be honest, it doesn’t happen to me 🙁 maybe tightening it MEGA?
@@PatrickDelorenzi thank you for your reply Pat! right you did mention in the vid that it's moto mount, it the vid name and the link are for the cycling mount. cheers!
Hey there, I have been having troubles with my X2 memory card, which micro sd do you use or recommend??
Hello! Any fast speed as recommended by insta 360 (i have a Sandisk) and be sure to format it often, as in speed of writing will decrease and you will get some errors as the card gets more full / written and re written on
Question on the out front & behind the bike mounting… do you have a carbon frame, handlebars, seat post? I am considering an X3 & using these mounts, but i have concerns on damaging my carbon components.
Hi, I have a carbon seatpost, but not carbon bars. Honestly I would mount the out in front mount no problem on carbon bars, but I def would not mount the Moto Mount to a carbon bar / stem. For the behind the bike mounting, currently I either use the dedicated back mount (plastic) or I simply put the stick on the saddle pointing back, wrap some Velcro around the saddle+stick, and just sit on it
Awesome… Appreciate the feedback! Your videos have gone a long way in convincing me to choose the X3 over the new Hero 11. I think eventually I may get both, but being a first time action camera consumer, it’s clear the X3 will get me the most bang for my buck to start. Thanks!
100 % bro - I own both, and in the last hmyear I’ve used the GoPro maybe 3 times (not kidding lol 😂). X3 I use daily and love it
did you like the climb to the Big Buddha? :P
how is the battery life on Insta360? Are you able to change the battery mid ride?
I would say pretty good - continuous recording around 1:15h, but recording here and there thru a ride I can easily use 1 battery for a whole day ride. You can swap them out yes if you wanted to bring 2 with you
Did you mention you used the insta360 motor bundle in your unicorn setup instead of insta360's bike bundle?
Yes
Thanks! I'm doubtful with the 3rd person bike mount it looks like the pole gonna break when riding on uneven roads.
So the sturdy setup is motor bundle mount and the invi selfie stick.
I think it’s a great choice 👌 and you can also set it up in many different angles, to the side and more; only thing to think about is the little bit of extra weight, but in my opinion, the weight is worth it because you have such a more versatile mount 👍
Did you use GoPro chest mount to attached Insta360?
Yea, but actually another way to do it is just slide the Insta360 with the pole attached, between your hr strap and your chest. And voila, it fits perfect like a chest mount (almost)
@@PatrickDelorenzi lol.
Are your handlebars carbon? Do you think that that motorcycle mount can destroy the handlebar if you clamp it down too tight?
Mine are aluminum and yes, be careful, you can definitely destroy carbon bars if you clamp down too tight
Fun tech. But I find the amount of distortion in the clips too distracting…especially elongated limbs. Loving the GoPro with magnetic mounts to quickly swap placements on bike.
You can choose the amount of distortion from the app - it can be zero or a higher value - I personally like a bit of distortion because i liked the late Ty evans skate films that were filmed on ultra 16:8 fisheye that had a similar effect to what the insta does
I tried using the motorcycle mount with the selfie stick but the base of the selfie stick unscrewed itself after a short time.
I mean the actual base of the selfie stick, not that it unscrewed from the motorcycle mount.
How did you stop that?
Oh no! Honestly I don’t know 🤷♂️, it never happened to me; I would change selfie stick
Contact insta360 support for this matter 100%
@@PatrickDelorenzi Thanks. I've emailed their support now. They were quite quick at getting back and asked for pictures and to describe how I've used it. I've been fully transparent with them as I thought maybe I'm not using it for what it was made for (the rear computer game style shot). If they confirm it's a fault with my stick and I can go ahead filming all sorts of shots when I get the new one then I'll be very happy.
Have you felt the quality doesn't look good compared to go pro?
The quality on 360 vid is lower because 5.7k is spread out on a 360 degree video - the more the video is zoomed out, the higher the quality because it retains more pixels in the image. 4K quality in single lense mode is comparable to 4K on the GoPro though I believe
what about mounting it on a handlebar?
Yo eugen! You could mount it on the handlebars (alloy) no problem if you prefer 👍
@@PatrickDelorenzi Thanks for reply. I just wonder how does the video look like in that case. How much of the field of view of the camera is covered by the body and hands? And by the way, how good does it work in low light conditions (at night etc.)?
i need one of these poles but for GoPro, does anyone know of one?
I bought a cheap (but not the cheapest) one off Amazon
Battery life? My average ride is 2 hours. Sometimes I do 4 to 6 hours. All these cameras shut off after 1 hour.
Yes around 1h and 20 minutes recording I would say; if I need to record more I switch batteries 🔋
Hello Patrick, just wanted to say thank you for helping me with my Motorcycle Mount Bundle for my ONE X2 purchase this video was the catalyst and I have given a big shout out to you in my unboxing and review video here czcams.com/video/3mazvwS1WBI/video.html
Hey Thank you man!!
Great choice on the moto mount - it also allows for crazy flexibility and way more variety in shots 🙌
Dislike for a crazy loud music in the beginning
Thanks for the video. The camera is great for 360 work, but the image quality is just terrible, very small dynamic range, shadows are just black, weird oversaturated colours etc. 😔 My 5 year old phone has better image.
$500 ??? no thanks!
Yea it’s not cheap! But for what it can give as far as footage goes, I think it’s not much
Poor stitching. Horrible glare.
