The RS is a solid upgrade over the previous model, with the action module being much improved, as well as the in camera EIS. I’m probably going to stick with combo of the Hero 10 and One X2 for right now. But I do see the value of an all in one solution that system offers. Great review Mic, you really covered everything I could think to ask.
Great question! Hero 10 has better audio quality, but if you're vlogging, I invite you to also consider looking at other factors. For example, you may want to capture a 3rd person view, which can look amazing for a vlog. You can see examples of what I mean here: czcams.com/video/yrHcprg8HPE/video.html Only a 360 camera can get you that amazing 3rd person view, and GoPro MAX doesn't have an external microphone option, so if you want a 360 camera for third person view while vlogging, I recommend One RS or One X2. See other suggestions here: czcams.com/video/FqeZGKZfcK8/video.html
Thanks Frigid Tsunami. When Hero 10 was first released it was overheating a lot too but they fixed it via firmware. i'm hoping that insta360 can also improve the endurance. But in any case, you can use the mad max mod. 360rumors.com/insta360-one-r-overheating-mad-max-mod/
Great video, as always. I'm a bit bumped out because I was hoping for a new version of the One X, instead of an "evolution" iteration (instead of a revolutionary installment) of the One R. I hope they come up with a new One X soon.
Thanks for watching Athan. I’m sure they are working on the new One X. But if I had to guess, I wouldn’t expect much difference for video quality. So we’ll see how it is better.
You cant buy just the core. So, its a modular camera system where you are not allowed to buy the modules. $279 for the core bundle, riiiiight, just rebuy the entire camera. Minimum upgrade from the One R is to buy everything over.
Hi acstudios8 right now the core is not available by itself yet. But there is a Core bundle that includes just the RS core, new bracket and new battery. store.insta360.com/product/one_rs?insrc=IRPUI4C
Awesome Review. Insta360 has again missed another opportunity by presenting a camera that is only an "upgrade" or bug fix to the OneR. It misses an opportunity by not including a better sensor, perhaps larger to have a better high dynamic range, in its 360 sensor for the new oneRS. Still the sound and video of the oneX2 is much better. Hopefully soon a new OneX3 will be sold with a bigger sensor to smash the competition like the new Rioch Theta X and improve the quality in low light or at night in 360 videos. I will continue with my original OneX, waiting for a new much better oneX. If we talk about 2D action camera something similar happens: a bigger sensor is missing and you can appreciate higher dynamic range and better detail in new cameras with bigger sensor like DJI action2 (although that camera has other design problems like heating etc), also missing modes that also include DJIaction2 and the latest Gopro like 120fps in 4k and finally, the sound quality is not even close to Gopro and even the OneX2 sounds better. It's an insult that companies like Insta360 always try to sell the same thing with a facelift and add just a little more. When will a real big change that crushes the competition?
Thanks Recursos. For me, the most important thing about RS is that it is cross-compatible with One R. For the first time in a consumer camera, you don't need to replace the whole camera -- you can just pick and choose which ones you want to upgrade, just like a DSLR. I hope they continue to do this.
Yes, feel the same, also waiting for a proper upgrade from my original X. However the built in waterproofing in the X2 combined with the sticky lens protectors is a sweet bundle.
Hi Mic, Good summary and video as always! One person’s opinion, I would like to suggest if you can add a buyer’s guide for new users and existing users looking to upgrade as follows (TLDR! 🤣): New users: - Modular design to add per use cases - Compatibility: backward and/or forward - Budget friendly with compatibility and customizing purchase on needs/use cases - Software: has desktop and mobile app that is feature rich and allows for quick and easy workflow editing. Also, constantly updating. That’s a good and bad thing though. Good that it is constantly being improved. Bad as you expect it to be a finished product and not have to wait 6mos-1yr for all the improvements - Taxes: I don’t mention shipping as competitors offer this but no one mention if you buy on Insta360 online store, the taxes are included in the prices which can add up - etc. etc. Existing users looking to upgrade: - new battery that improves runtime of 21% (marketing nos) for the standard battery and also a boosted battery for RS - new 4K boosted lens that has an aperture of f2.4 - new RS core mod is backward compatible with 1” and 360 mod lenses, and R batteries (standard and larger) - better dynamic range and colors - in camera and post flowstate stabilization options - 360deg horizon lock on a 3 mod lenses - new active HDR mode - new 6K 2.35:1 - better audio (so what marketing says with 3rd speaker) - improved wifi - new instant zoom - for stills/photos with new 4K boosted lens and RS core mod: quad bayer 48MP sensor (laymen terms, pixel stacking the 12MP sensor x 4, giving high resolution 48MP without compromising sensor sensitivity. More complicated but giving a quick and dirty explanation) - lots of AI features for 360 lens that the One X2 has (don’t have it but seen some videos to dive deep) - new mounting bracket/cage that is easier to remove or insert, including the 1” mod. Note I believe I saw the R standard battery fitting in this cage - slightly improvement in lowlight with 1/2” sensor vs 1/2.3” sensor from R core mod - etc. etc. Accessories that backward compatible to R or forward compatible to RS: - quick reader - R standard, boosted, and vertical batteries - remote control - filters for 360 and 1” as those lens stay same but not the 4K standard R lens with new 4K boosted RS lens - water housing cage (with R batteries) - selfie sticks and other accessories with gopro mounts - etc etc What’s still missing or didn’t improve: - USBC door, has that improved to remove and put back? - small screen - how is the live view, any lag or blackout, which video setting works/doesn’t work Lastly, for those indecisive buyers, think about what’s important to you, your use cases, and budget (not just want you can afford but willing to pay): - Rugged and simple: GP10 - Modular and Backward/Forward Compatible: Insta360 One RS - Form over function modular and modern design: DJI A2 (if you like everything magnets) but need to baby it as glass are exposed and non-replaceable
Thanks for the detailed comment my friend! Re USB C door it is exactly the same. Re live view, I see it in all modes, even Active HDR and 6k Widescreen mode. Re Action 2, personally I haven't used it as much as Hero 10 or Insta360 Go 2. But I like it for FPV drones.
I think the biggest difference is the ruggedness. I'd feel a hell of a lot more confident about dropping a GoPro than a OneR! Also I think the screen on the GoPro is a lot easier to use, the OneR is too fiddly.
Hi Jason. Yes the Hero's larger screen (and dual screen) are definitely more convenient. As for ruggedness, I've dropped the One R (not RS) before and it was ok. One advantage of RS for ruggedness is that the screen is smaller, so it's less likely to be damaged compared to the Hero 10 where both front and back have screens (which is the part most likely to be damaged).
Nice! This fotocamera does not convince me, I do not see a qualitative leap such as to justify a new purchase what little you earn in dark shots is not worth the money to spend. I will wait for the release of the instax3 that I will buy only if it offers an increase in resolution and better resolution in evening shooting. Thank you for your very useful work
Hi Taiwan Jimyen. Good question. RS is a bit more detailed but could be better options imho. See here: czcams.com/video/FqeZGKZfcK8/video.html and also this one czcams.com/video/Ji6p333I-08/video.html
I believe this is Insta360 solution to catch up with DJI action 2 workflow. With no more proxy work through their Insta360 app on PC. At this moment when RS attached with the 1 inch mod, I believe there will be advantages over DJI action 2 especially in low light. Well let's see what DJI action module for this year 2022, if they have any plans for it.
I think this is great work of improvement, they is not make like others marketing advertising they just announced how they see their product and honest didn't give oner 2 , just S and I think this is nice upgrade, I remember 3rd part does such cage, and I think they just take all best)
Thanks Pete! Wow how long has your One R been in the box? If the battery discharges to zero and stays there for a while, it will no longer work. You may want to charge it to see if it still holds a charge. And maybe appreciate the touchscreen. Then press record... and voila you've used it for the first time :D
Hi Fact Night. If you want to go strictly based on the audio quality I would go with hero10 which has better audio. BUT for vlogging, I think a 3rd person view is super cool and only a 360 camera can do that, which is why I would definitely choose One RS or One X2 for vlogging.
Thanks for the differences. Can you help me decide which should I go for one x2 or the rs or should I wait for the x3? Does one rs has all the features of one x2? Thanks.
My Quoocam 8k is on its way out due to the swollen battery (it was one of the very first manufactured) so looking for a decent replacement with replaceable battery. Your review is great, I've had the Mi sphere, Yi 360, Theta S, Garmin 360 and a One X, but still have the Kandao and Xphase Pro S. Maybe the Theta X is best option but I do like the idea of the 6k wide-screen.
Hi Gambo47. If you often use non360 action cams or ultra wides too then yes I think the One RS would be a very good fit for you. Theta X is more detailed but its stabilization is not that great so you might want to take that into consideration.
@@gambo47 max is a good camera but cineform files take up a lot of space. As for max 2 if they make one I think it will have 2x frame rate but the video quality will probably be the same
Hi sir, can you have a comparison video, audio and photo of only insta360 one rs and insta360 x2? Btw your english is very clear :) like a filipino. You explain very well. Thanks
Would you say video quality is better on the One RS with 360 mod vs the One X2? I just placed my order for the RS Twin bundle and wondering if I should have went with the X2. I'd be mostly using it for motorcycle 360 videos
Hi Nader. One RS 360 is very slightly better than one x2 for video quality. Almost identical. If you want the best quality, I suggest 1-inch 360 czcams.com/video/5C2HjoQpaH8/video.html
Yes the internals of the 360 mod are the same as the old one. The RS 360 mod is just cosmetically different. You would get the same results on the previous 360 mod (or 1 inch mod for that matter).
I am thinking about buying the RS or the X2. In 360 mode both are nearly the same I guess but how big is the difference between the one lense mode on the x2 vs the 4k boost lense on the rs?
Hi Tistre. Good question. The 4k boost is far more detailed than the one lens mode on x2. But it takes a few seconds to switch modules. Personally I think one RS is much more versatile and it is upgradable.
@@360vroomers this is actually what I was thinking about. The switching time doesn't matter that much for me. Considering the other points I think I'll go with the one rs because I can film in "normal" mode and also in 360. Because of the fact that the x2 is not much better in 360 the one RS is the better option. The point of upgrading is also a good mention. Thank you!
Great review as always 🙏 I’m still in desperate need to fix my scratched One R 360 lens mod… 😢 might have been tempted to get the RS if Insta360 had made the a bigger improvement to the 360 lens but maybe that will come with the next iteration.
Thanks J9MVP. I have two scratched 360 mods that I've been meaning to fix. I'll try fixing them. Yes I agree about the next iteration. The good news is that so far, it seems that Insta360 kept its promise of creating a product line that could be upgraded piece by piece so that we won't need to replace the whole thing. This is the first consumer camera I've seen that has done that.
@@360vroomers Most welcome and thanks for the reply. I completely agree about the modular design and interchangeable system being the biggest win here from a technological standpoint. It gives me more reassurance that future iterations are more likely to reward consumers who have older generations that their mods or accessories will still be of value and not be completely redundant. Hopefully more camera/gadget companies will use this methodology 🙌😛
Thanks Kazuhiro-san! Yes the One R battery can be used for RS Core. But the new bracket is designed for the new thicker battery. If you want to use the old battery it is probably more stable to use the old bracket. Yes the RS can be used in the StanFPV CineBird but you need to use the old battery because the new battery is thicker. BTW you might be interested in this other invisible drone czcams.com/video/cNKgWYJrncQ/video.html
Of course who have camera didn't upgrade, but this just make better thing) even it is modular and could be used old and new is perfect for insta idea) they just revolutioners and other will be after them)
Yes that's what I like about the R series - you can decide whether to upgrade or not, piece by piece. I haven't seen any other consumer camera do that.
Thanks Paul! Yes I think the improvement is most meaningful for people who would otherwise be using a GoPro, and I think they've done a good job letting the 4k boost mod catch up to the Hero 10. It will be interesting to see if or when they go one step further and overtake GoPro's then-current flagship.
I had oneR and it broke down. Insurance company asking me to replace with OneX2. I asked them for OneRS but They ask for extra money. What should I do? I still have 360 lens. Thanks
I hope that One RS improved sound with 3 mics. I just bought couple of weeks OneR and it is the camera with worst mic I have ever bought. I can compare the sound quality with that of cheap EKEN camera that costs 30 bucks. I recorded track day, and luckily have still my good old Garmin Virb360 with four mics, and happily erased noise that One R recorded as "sound".
Hi Cyber. One RS sounds a bit better than One R but GoPro Hero still sounds better than One RS. The way I get good sound is by using an external microphone (Rode Wireless Go). Insta360 has a special cold shoe that can make Rode Wireless Go appear invisible to the One R, One X2, or One RS.
I’m at the point of buying the OneX2. Isn’t this the same as the OneX2 but you 4k mod for just 130 usd more? So, for just a bit more, you get an action cam too. How do the two compare? Which one is best?
Hi Calvin. Yes that's exactly right. RS is similar to One X2 but for $130 more, you get a 4k mod that is similar to Hero 9 or Hero 10. I found that One RS 360 mod is slightly better photo and video quality than One X2. The advantage of One X2 is that it has a little smoother stitching, but you won't notice it unless you are shooting in very tight spaces. The advantage of RS is versatility. If you don't need that versatility, you can get X2. If that versatility for switching to an action cam is useful to you, then I recommend RS.
Hi Faraz. One RS has slightly better photo and video quality than One X2 and can convert to an action cam like a Hero 9 or Hero 10. The advantage of One X2 is that it is easier to use it underwater because you only have to make sure that the battery is fully inserted. Another advantage of One X2 is that at closer distances, it has smoother stitching. If you never want to use the 4k mod, X2 is more convenient. If you might use 4k mod sometimes then RS is more versatile and more practical.
Nice video as always. I have the ONE R twin edition, now with the RS as the photos show, where the red label print says "48MP Active HDR" it looks the frame has an inclination, I cannot confirm that. Can you confirm if the frame of the screen protector is same like the previous 4K? Too bad because I invested in ND filters for 4K mod and i feel they will not fit properly, Also I invested in a gimal where it just fit the clamp with 4K if the new design is different then I might not be able to use my Gimbal (iSteady Pro 4). Thanks.
Hi Jean. The new bracket has no hinges for the one r screen protector and nd filter but you can use the old bracket with the RS as long as you use the old battery. As for the gimbal, the core RS has the exact same dimensions as the R core. The 4k boost mod is almost the same size as the 4k mod but yes that red stripe is beveled.
Good review. I would like to see more about the RS vs the X2. From footage I have seen (which is somewhat limited at this point) the quality of the 360 out of the X2 was better. Maybe not from a detailed/compression perspective (appreciate you showing that) but from an overall view. I just bought the X2 and can still return for the RS but what I saw didn't compel me to spend another $170. Look forward to more comparison on the 360 side...
Thanks Steve! Every time I compare One X2 and One R, I always find that the One R is slightly more detailed. But the One X2 has the advantage of smoother stitching and convenience. If you only shoot 360 and never use a GoPro or other action cam, then the slightly more detailed video of One RS might not be a big enough advantage to offset the convenience of the One X2. I'll try to post samples on my review page.
@@360vroomers I have a GoPro 8 and got the X2 as my first 360. Just took it skiing and it was really great, but I can return the X2 for the RS, but think I might be good enough with the X2. I could sell the GoPro and use the money to get the RS that could fill both types, but it was actually nice skiing having the GoPro on my chest mount AND using the X2 on selfie stick.
I’m in the exact same boat as you. I can still return my x2, but I’m not convinced I should. I have a go2 as an action cam that’s good enough for my use.
@@johndalszysII Hi John. Go 2 is a great action cam but it doesn't have an external mic and it has a limited recording capacity. But if it's meeting your needs then having two separate cameras would be more convenient than a 2-in-1 camera like RS.
Fantastic review, but do you think Gopro will try to match Insta's new release with a new and updated Max version???? Thanks again. The main reason is I am an avid Scuba Diver and am after the better/best option for diving at depths with cases and limited or no NADIR.
Thanks Daryll! I do hope that they'll update the Max this year, although personally I'm not expecting much other than possibly doubling the framerate. Re no nadir, I don't know how deep you go, but check out the 360bubble.
@@360vroomers thanks for this, I have contacted 360 Bubble re the product for Max however I feel they are not operating anymore as they have not responded at all to my requests from some weeks ago, or even seen in Msng my text. Do you know if they are still an operational Co. ??
Hey there Holmes's. If you haven't used the 4K mod much, then probably this one is not for you. Personally, I use a Hero 10 sometimes when I'm vlogging and I know I don't need the full 360 view (for example, talking heads). With the 4k boost mod, I think I will be experimenting with it some more, or possibly using it on an FPV drone.
Regarding the Insta360 One X2 I don't know why very few talk about the poor quality of 360 videos when we export them with Insta360 Studio. These exports are necessary because this program won't let you join multiple clips and you need other video editing programs, such as Final Cut or Adobe premier, to do so. Even if you work with a single clip the vision inside Insta360 studio is good, but as soon as you export it, regardless of the format (H.264, H.265, ProRes422) the image comes out blurry and flickering. If you disable 'use hardware encoder/decoder' in settings, as some advise, it improves somewhat but is still unacceptable.
Hi opacan. When you say the video is poor quality, are you comparing it to another 360 camera or another non360 camera? Which camera are you comparing it to?
Could please recommend best recording quality and easiest file creating 360 camera today? I mean which is very good in video quality but also very easy to produce 360 video file. Thanks a lot!
Hi Emilio. The easiest is Theta X because it has no stitching needed. You just record and use the 360 video immediately. But the stabilization is not that good. If you want good stabilization and you want ease of use too then I recommend insta360 one x2 or one RS.
@@cybermike2969 for 360 video one x2 and RS are almost the same. RS has a slight advantage (slightly better detail) in my tests. But if you don’t need the 4k mod, you can save money and get one x2. There is a sale now: store.insta360.com/product/one_x2?insrc=IRPUI4C
Hello my man. I didnt understand well enough, do you mean I better upgrate to one RS if I am using oneX2.... Thanks for lovely video. You may remember I am an estate agent and using my oneX2 for 360 and wide photos. But the most important is of course I need to be as wide as I can. If you can please take it from my vision. What would you do. Of course we have some other feattures with oneX2. Such as bullet shooting etc. Best regards from Bodrum Turkey.
Hi Mustafa. The RS 360 mod is slightly more detailed than One X2 but the difference is very small. I would not upgrade just for that. But there are many options that are better for 360 photos - see here Best 360 Camera for EVERY BUDGET in 2022 🔥🔥🔥 czcams.com/video/FqeZGKZfcK8/video.html and here Which 360 Camera For Virtual Tours In 2022? czcams.com/video/Ji6p333I-08/video.html
Hi Misty X! If you already have a One X2, then RS 360 mod is almost the same. It is just a little more detailed and has less compression, but it is a minor difference from One X2, so I personally don't think it's worth upgrading unless you want even just a minor improvement.
Thanks for watching Life Exotics! I hope I helped you make an informed decision. In any case, I’m really glad that insta360 made it cross compatible with One R. If that continues in the future then this will be like a dslr for action cams. 😀
I think they might not update 360 mod this year. If they were going to update 360 mod I think they would have released it at the same time. If they do update 360 mod, I’m guessing they will use the same 1/2 inch sensor in the 4k boost mod, in which case the image quality will be like theta x, which is almost the same quality.
Hi E Zearo. There's no new aerial edition, but the RS Core should work with the previous aerial edition. BTW you might be interested in this invisible drone: czcams.com/video/cNKgWYJrncQ/video.html
Hi Daniele. I think Core RS mod and 4k Boost mod will be available by the themselves but I don’t know when. Incidentally, if you get the 4k Boost bundle then it is like you buy the 4k boost mod, RS core mod, new battery and new bracket.
Hi Daniele. I think it's not likely there will be a new 1 inch mod in the near future because Sony has no new 1 inch sensors. As for 360 mod, it's possible if insta360 incorporates the new 1/2.0 inch sensor that they used in the 4k Boost mod, but we'll just have to wait and see. Even assuming they do that, i wouldn't expect a giant leap in image quality. It will be more like theta X, which as you can see has just slightly better image quality.
Hi Xander. this is a comparison and review of the RS. There was a part where I showed the image quality difference between RS and One X2 but they are really very similar. If you want an in-depth review of the One X2 here it is: czcams.com/video/BfmHVqQKHhE/video.html
@@360vroomers With the title, I expected to see a split screen comparison between the 3 cameras. I wanted to see the slight difference between RS and X2. But I see your point. Thanks for answering 🙂
Hi Aerospective. I haven't noticed any fogging in the 4k Boost Mod or 360 mod. The 1-inch mod is the same as the old one (I didn't notice fogging either). Pls note I am in Southern California and I haven't been traveling much this past year. Re paid promotion, no one paid me to do this video but Insta360 sent me a unit for review. They did not look at my review before I posted it and as you can see from the video, I do my best to be as honest as possible and I will not hesitate to say that another camera like GoPro MAX or Ricoh Theta X looks better. I also have affiliate links for almost all cameras (so I think that's a wash). Ultimately, I provide the samples here so that you can judge for yourself. If you don't agree with my conclusion, at least I hope the samples will help you make an informed decision.
@@360vroomers I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have a GoPro 10 already and a OneX. My OneX has been repaired a few too many times though (remove lens scratches) so I need to replace it really. I am torn between a OneX 2 and the OneRS. Does the OneRS work with the remote, and allow you to record GPS info which I can then export to GSV? I appreciate that the app won't do this but if the info is saved there are other ways.
pretty but nothing impressive, you have to pause to see a difference, I stay with my gopro max and I will wait at the end of the year, with the 4 new gopro models which will be superior to insta 360
you say the 360 mod is better than the insta360one x2 how can that be when the mod is exactly the same as the old one, and in your, abeit very short clip and the youtube mangle, I cannot see the difference, maybe you are wearing some rose tinted glasses 😂
Hey there Ian. Not glasses, but prisms my friend. I've wondered about that same question since the One X2 was released. I think the difference in image quality is because One X2 has a folded optical path like Theta. The additional prisms might have caused the video and photo to be slightly softer compared to One R. Either that or they used more aggressive compression for One X2.
@@360vroomers well I haven't a X2 to compare (and won't until there is a 8k consumer version) to my friends 1R (which he hates) but you are the only person who has said that, even among the obviously paid ad youtube vids that i have seen.
@@360vroomers Well thank you, but not worth my or your time, as this camera would NEVER be of interest to me, as I personally cannot see the point in it. As to me the only reason to have an action camera and a 360 camera would be to use them at the same time and even if i was to use them separately too fiddly to keep changing the mods. Action cameras and 360 cameras are so small anyway these days that it is not a problem to have one of each. So i will continue to wait until they produce a 8k version of there one X2 that will then become interesting to go along with my action camera etc.
@@Ian_Woods thanks Ian. To me this kind of 2-in-1 camera is most useful for someone who is on the fence with either camera, or doesn’t need the 2nd type as much. So for example if you shoot 360 but are kind of thinking of having a GoPro as well, One RS would be great for you. Another reason to get RS is the ability to upgrade in the future. Like a dslr you don’t throw away the body or the lenses. RS lets you upgrade each part.

The RS is a solid upgrade over the previous model, with the action module being much improved, as well as the in camera EIS. I’m probably going to stick with combo of the Hero 10 and One X2 for right now. But I do see the value of an all in one solution that system offers. Great review Mic, you really covered everything I could think to ask.
Thanks Ron! Hero 10 and One X2 is an excellent combo!
Dear suggest me which will be better for vlogging Gopro 10 or insta 360RS where audio quality also fact
Great question! Hero 10 has better audio quality, but if you're vlogging, I invite you to also consider looking at other factors. For example, you may want to capture a 3rd person view, which can look amazing for a vlog. You can see examples of what I mean here: czcams.com/video/yrHcprg8HPE/video.html
Only a 360 camera can get you that amazing 3rd person view, and GoPro MAX doesn't have an external microphone option, so if you want a 360 camera for third person view while vlogging, I recommend One RS or One X2. See other suggestions here: czcams.com/video/FqeZGKZfcK8/video.html

It misses an opportunity by not including a better sensor, perhaps larger to have a better high dynamic range, in its 360 sensor for the new oneRS. Still the sound and video of the oneX2 is much better. Hopefully soon a new OneX3 will be sold with a bigger sensor to smash the competition like the new Rioch Theta X and improve the quality in low light or at night in 360 videos. I will continue with my original OneX, waiting for a new much better oneX. If we talk about 2D action camera something similar happens: a bigger sensor is missing and you can appreciate higher dynamic range and better detail in new cameras with bigger sensor like DJI action2 (although that camera has other design problems like heating etc), also missing modes that also include DJIaction2 and the latest Gopro like 120fps in 4k and finally, the sound quality is not even close to Gopro and even the OneX2 sounds better. It's an insult that companies like Insta360 always try to sell the same thing with a facelift and add just a little more. When will a real big change that crushes the competition?
Thanks Recursos. For me, the most important thing about RS is that it is cross-compatible with One R. For the first time in a consumer camera, you don't need to replace the whole camera -- you can just pick and choose which ones you want to upgrade, just like a DSLR. I hope they continue to do this.
Yes, feel the same, also waiting for a proper upgrade from my original X. However the built in waterproofing in the X2 combined with the sticky lens protectors is a sweet bundle.
Great job Mic!
Thanks Hugh!
Hi Mic,
Good summary and video as always!
One person’s opinion, I would like to suggest if you can add a buyer’s guide for new users and existing users looking to upgrade as follows (TLDR! 🤣):
New users:
- Modular design to add per use cases
- Compatibility: backward and/or forward
- Budget friendly with compatibility and customizing purchase on needs/use cases
- Software: has desktop and mobile app that is feature rich and allows for quick and easy workflow editing. Also, constantly updating. That’s a good and bad thing though. Good that it is constantly being improved. Bad as you expect it to be a finished product and not have to wait 6mos-1yr for all the improvements
- Taxes: I don’t mention shipping as competitors offer this but no one mention if you buy on Insta360 online store, the taxes are included in the prices which can add up
- etc. etc.
Existing users looking to upgrade:
- new battery that improves runtime of 21% (marketing nos) for the standard battery and also a boosted battery for RS
- new 4K boosted lens that has an aperture of f2.4
- new RS core mod is backward compatible with 1” and 360 mod lenses, and R batteries (standard and larger)
- better dynamic range and colors
- in camera and post flowstate stabilization options
- 360deg horizon lock on a 3 mod lenses
- new active HDR mode
- new 6K 2.35:1
- better audio (so what marketing says with 3rd speaker)
- improved wifi
- new instant zoom
- for stills/photos with new 4K boosted lens and RS core mod: quad bayer 48MP sensor (laymen terms, pixel stacking the 12MP sensor x 4, giving high resolution 48MP without compromising sensor sensitivity. More complicated but giving a quick and dirty explanation)
- lots of AI features for 360 lens that the One X2 has (don’t have it but seen some videos to dive deep)
- new mounting bracket/cage that is easier to remove or insert, including the 1” mod. Note I believe I saw the R standard battery fitting in this cage
- slightly improvement in lowlight with 1/2” sensor vs 1/2.3” sensor from R core mod
- etc. etc.
Accessories that backward compatible to R or forward compatible to RS:
- quick reader
- R standard, boosted, and vertical batteries
- remote control
- filters for 360 and 1” as those lens stay same but not the 4K standard R lens with new 4K boosted RS lens
- water housing cage (with R batteries)
- selfie sticks and other accessories with gopro mounts
- etc etc
What’s still missing or didn’t improve:
- USBC door, has that improved to remove and put back?
- small screen
- how is the live view, any lag or blackout, which video setting works/doesn’t work
Lastly, for those indecisive buyers, think about what’s important to you, your use cases, and budget (not just want you can afford but willing to pay):
- Rugged and simple: GP10
- Modular and Backward/Forward Compatible: Insta360 One RS
- Form over function modular and modern design: DJI A2 (if you like everything magnets) but need to baby it as glass are exposed and non-replaceable
Thanks for the detailed comment my friend! Re USB C door it is exactly the same. Re live view, I see it in all modes, even Active HDR and 6k Widescreen mode.
Re Action 2, personally I haven't used it as much as Hero 10 or Insta360 Go 2. But I like it for FPV drones.
I think the biggest difference is the ruggedness. I'd feel a hell of a lot more confident about dropping a GoPro than a OneR!
Also I think the screen on the GoPro is a lot easier to use, the OneR is too fiddly.
Hi Jason. Yes the Hero's larger screen (and dual screen) are definitely more convenient. As for ruggedness, I've dropped the One R (not RS) before and it was ok. One advantage of RS for ruggedness is that the screen is smaller, so it's less likely to be damaged compared to the Hero 10 where both front and back have screens (which is the part most likely to be damaged).
Nice! This fotocamera does not convince me, I do not see a qualitative leap such as to justify a new purchase what little you earn in dark shots is not worth the money to spend.
I will wait for the release of the instax3 that I will buy only if it offers an increase in resolution and better resolution in evening shooting. Thank you for your very useful work
Thanks for watching Arturo! I'm glad I helped you make an informed decision. Thanks also for sharing what you want to see in the next insta360 camera!
I only need 360 panoramic shooting, currently using onex2, I am hesitating whether to buy ONE RS??
Hi Taiwan Jimyen. Good question. RS is a bit more detailed but could be better options imho. See here: czcams.com/video/FqeZGKZfcK8/video.html and also this one czcams.com/video/Ji6p333I-08/video.html
I believe this is Insta360 solution to catch up with DJI action 2 workflow. With no more proxy work through their Insta360 app on PC.
At this moment when RS attached with the 1 inch mod, I believe there will be advantages over DJI action 2 especially in low light. Well let's see what DJI action module for this year 2022, if they have any plans for it.
Hi Kian Meng. Let me test and post the results 😀
I think this is great work of improvement, they is not make like others marketing advertising they just announced how they see their product and honest didn't give oner 2 , just S and I think this is nice upgrade, I remember 3rd part does such cage, and I think they just take all best)
Thanks Andreev. I didn't think about that before, but you are right. That's probably why it's not called R2. Good point!
Was disappointed. Not enough to make me switch. No wow factor like when the one x2 came out.
Thanks for watching Roberto. I'm glad the video helped you make an informed decision.
@@360vroomers I hope insta360 comes out with a One X3. So for now sticking with the One X2 and DJI Action 2.
Excellent job Mic very thorough. You answered my questions about the R vs. RS. Now if only I would take my R out of the box and use it!
Thanks Pete! Wow how long has your One R been in the box? If the battery discharges to zero and stays there for a while, it will no longer work. You may want to charge it to see if it still holds a charge. And maybe appreciate the touchscreen. Then press record... and voila you've used it for the first time :D
Which one should I buy for vlogging go pro hero 10 or this ?
Hi Fact Night. If you want to go strictly based on the audio quality I would go with hero10 which has better audio. BUT for vlogging, I think a 3rd person view is super cool and only a 360 camera can do that, which is why I would definitely choose One RS or One X2 for vlogging.
@@360vroomers Thnkuh , by the way what us 3rd person view ?
Thanks for the differences. Can you help me decide which should I go for one x2 or the rs or should I wait for the x3? Does one rs has all the features of one x2? Thanks.
can you tell me how to enable horizon on insta 360 4k boot lens?
I've been looking and can't find it!
My Quoocam 8k is on its way out due to the swollen battery (it was one of the very first manufactured) so looking for a decent replacement with replaceable battery. Your review is great, I've had the Mi sphere, Yi 360, Theta S, Garmin 360 and a One X, but still have the Kandao and Xphase Pro S. Maybe the Theta X is best option but I do like the idea of the 6k wide-screen.
Hi Gambo47. If you often use non360 action cams or ultra wides too then yes I think the One RS would be a very good fit for you. Theta X is more detailed but its stabilization is not that great so you might want to take that into consideration.
@@360vroomers I even looked at the Gopro Max again but see there is a possibility of a new "max2" this year...
@@gambo47 max is a good camera but cineform files take up a lot of space. As for max 2 if they make one I think it will have 2x frame rate but the video quality will probably be the same
Hi sir, can you have a comparison video, audio and photo of only insta360 one rs and insta360 x2? Btw your english is very clear :) like a filipino. You explain very well. Thanks
Great video thanks for the hard work! To me the improvement over the One X2 is too little. Probably better to wait for the One X3....
Thanks Wiljan5560! I hope the video was helpful to you in making an informed decision. :D As for One X3, i'm sure it's in the pipeline.
Would you say video quality is better on the One RS with 360 mod vs the One X2? I just placed my order for the RS Twin bundle and wondering if I should have went with the X2. I'd be mostly using it for motorcycle 360 videos
Hi Nader. One RS 360 is very slightly better than one x2 for video quality. Almost identical. If you want the best quality, I suggest 1-inch 360 czcams.com/video/5C2HjoQpaH8/video.html
They didn't update the 360 mod one the one rs it's the same as the one r!
Yes the internals of the 360 mod are the same as the old one. The RS 360 mod is just cosmetically different. You would get the same results on the previous 360 mod (or 1 inch mod for that matter).
I am thinking about buying the RS or the X2. In 360 mode both are nearly the same I guess but how big is the difference between the one lense mode on the x2 vs the 4k boost lense on the rs?
Hi Tistre. Good question. The 4k boost is far more detailed than the one lens mode on x2. But it takes a few seconds to switch modules. Personally I think one RS is much more versatile and it is upgradable.
@@360vroomers this is actually what I was thinking about. The switching time doesn't matter that much for me. Considering the other points I think I'll go with the one rs because I can film in "normal" mode and also in 360. Because of the fact that the x2 is not much better in 360 the one RS is the better option. The point of upgrading is also a good mention. Thank you!
Great review as always 🙏 I’m still in desperate need to fix my scratched One R 360 lens mod… 😢 might have been tempted to get the RS if Insta360 had made the a bigger improvement to the 360 lens but maybe that will come with the next iteration.
Thanks J9MVP. I have two scratched 360 mods that I've been meaning to fix. I'll try fixing them.
Yes I agree about the next iteration. The good news is that so far, it seems that Insta360 kept its promise of creating a product line that could be upgraded piece by piece so that we won't need to replace the whole thing. This is the first consumer camera I've seen that has done that.
@@360vroomers Most welcome and thanks for the reply. I completely agree about the modular design and interchangeable system being the biggest win here from a technological standpoint. It gives me more reassurance that future iterations are more likely to reward consumers who have older generations that their mods or accessories will still be of value and not be completely redundant. Hopefully more camera/gadget companies will use this methodology 🙌😛
Thank you for your review!
Was OneR battery usable for OneRS core?
I would be happy if it can be installed in the invisible drone of StanFPV.
Thanks Kazuhiro-san! Yes the One R battery can be used for RS Core. But the new bracket is designed for the new thicker battery. If you want to use the old battery it is probably more stable to use the old bracket. Yes the RS can be used in the StanFPV CineBird but you need to use the old battery because the new battery is thicker. BTW you might be interested in this other invisible drone czcams.com/video/cNKgWYJrncQ/video.html
Of course who have camera didn't upgrade, but this just make better thing) even it is modular and could be used old and new is perfect for insta idea) they just revolutioners and other will be after them)
Yes that's what I like about the R series - you can decide whether to upgrade or not, piece by piece. I haven't seen any other consumer camera do that.
Hey great video, can i ask what country this is were you are driving the jeep buggies in water and going over the water?
Very thorough review Mic, clear and easy to follow. The RS is an little improvement over the R. Insta's doing a good job maintaining what we've got.
Thanks Paul! Yes I think the improvement is most meaningful for people who would otherwise be using a GoPro, and I think they've done a good job letting the 4k boost mod catch up to the Hero 10. It will be interesting to see if or when they go one step further and overtake GoPro's then-current flagship.
I had oneR and it broke down. Insurance company asking me to replace with OneX2. I asked them for OneRS but They ask for extra money. What should I do? I still have 360 lens. Thanks
Thank you! Looking forward to the One X2S! :-)
Thanks! Me too although I suspect video quality might not be much different.
I hope that One RS improved sound with 3 mics. I just bought couple of weeks OneR and it is the camera with worst mic I have ever bought. I can compare the sound quality with that of cheap EKEN camera that costs 30 bucks. I recorded track day, and luckily have still my good old Garmin Virb360 with four mics, and happily erased noise that One R recorded as "sound".
Hi Cyber. One RS sounds a bit better than One R but GoPro Hero still sounds better than One RS. The way I get good sound is by using an external microphone (Rode Wireless Go). Insta360 has a special cold shoe that can make Rode Wireless Go appear invisible to the One R, One X2, or One RS.
@@360vroomers Thanks.
I’m at the point of buying the OneX2.
Isn’t this the same as the OneX2 but you 4k mod for just 130 usd more?
So, for just a bit more, you get an action cam too.
How do the two compare? Which one is best?
Hi Calvin. Yes that's exactly right. RS is similar to One X2 but for $130 more, you get a 4k mod that is similar to Hero 9 or Hero 10. I found that One RS 360 mod is slightly better photo and video quality than One X2. The advantage of One X2 is that it has a little smoother stitching, but you won't notice it unless you are shooting in very tight spaces. The advantage of RS is versatility. If you don't need that versatility, you can get X2. If that versatility for switching to an action cam is useful to you, then I recommend RS.
Great video, buddy! Thank you. Super helpful.
Thanks Jesse! 😃
Which is best one rs or one x2????
Hi Faraz. One RS has slightly better photo and video quality than One X2 and can convert to an action cam like a Hero 9 or Hero 10. The advantage of One X2 is that it is easier to use it underwater because you only have to make sure that the battery is fully inserted. Another advantage of One X2 is that at closer distances, it has smoother stitching. If you never want to use the 4k mod, X2 is more convenient. If you might use 4k mod sometimes then RS is more versatile and more practical.
I still use my one x to do my videos now does the 6k drops to 1080 when you export the video like the one x when i record to 5k?
Hi 360LA. The 6K resolution is for the 4K Boost mod's Cinematic mode. It is the real resolution in 2.35:1 aspect ratio and does not drop to 1080p.
Nice video as always. I have the ONE R twin edition, now with the RS as the photos show, where the red label print says "48MP Active HDR" it looks the frame has an inclination, I cannot confirm that. Can you confirm if the frame of the screen protector is same like the previous 4K? Too bad because I invested in ND filters for 4K mod and i feel they will not fit properly, Also I invested in a gimal where it just fit the clamp with 4K if the new design is different then I might not be able to use my Gimbal (iSteady Pro 4). Thanks.
Hi Jean. The new bracket has no hinges for the one r screen protector and nd filter but you can use the old bracket with the RS as long as you use the old battery. As for the gimbal, the core RS has the exact same dimensions as the R core. The 4k boost mod is almost the same size as the 4k mod but yes that red stripe is beveled.
Good review. I would like to see more about the RS vs the X2. From footage I have seen (which is somewhat limited at this point) the quality of the 360 out of the X2 was better. Maybe not from a detailed/compression perspective (appreciate you showing that) but from an overall view. I just bought the X2 and can still return for the RS but what I saw didn't compel me to spend another $170. Look forward to more comparison on the 360 side...
Thanks Steve! Every time I compare One X2 and One R, I always find that the One R is slightly more detailed. But the One X2 has the advantage of smoother stitching and convenience. If you only shoot 360 and never use a GoPro or other action cam, then the slightly more detailed video of One RS might not be a big enough advantage to offset the convenience of the One X2. I'll try to post samples on my review page.
@@360vroomers I have a GoPro 8 and got the X2 as my first 360. Just took it skiing and it was really great, but I can return the X2 for the RS, but think I might be good enough with the X2.
I could sell the GoPro and use the money to get the RS that could fill both types, but it was actually nice skiing having the GoPro on my chest mount AND using the X2 on selfie stick.
I’m in the exact same boat as you. I can still return my x2, but I’m not convinced I should. I have a go2 as an action cam that’s good enough for my use.
@@johndalszysII Hi John. Go 2 is a great action cam but it doesn't have an external mic and it has a limited recording capacity. But if it's meeting your needs then having two separate cameras would be more convenient than a 2-in-1 camera like RS.
Fantastic review, but do you think Gopro will try to match Insta's new release with a new and updated Max version????
Thanks again. The main reason is I am an avid Scuba Diver and am after the better/best option for diving at depths with cases and limited or no NADIR.
Thanks Daryll! I do hope that they'll update the Max this year, although personally I'm not expecting much other than possibly doubling the framerate. Re no nadir, I don't know how deep you go, but check out the 360bubble.
@@360vroomers thanks for this, I have contacted 360 Bubble re the product for Max however I feel they are not operating anymore as they have not responded at all to my requests from some weeks ago, or even seen in Msng my text.
Do you know if they are still an operational Co. ??
Hi Daryll. I haven't been following them at all so I don't know if they're still operational. I would think so, but I could be wrong.
I don’t think I’ve ever used the 4K mod with my One R.
Hey there Holmes's. If you haven't used the 4K mod much, then probably this one is not for you. Personally, I use a Hero 10 sometimes when I'm vlogging and I know I don't need the full 360 view (for example, talking heads). With the 4k boost mod, I think I will be experimenting with it some more, or possibly using it on an FPV drone.
Regarding the Insta360 One X2 I don't know why very few talk about the poor quality of 360 videos when we export them with Insta360 Studio. These exports are necessary because this program won't let you join multiple clips and you need other video editing programs, such as Final Cut or Adobe premier, to do so. Even if you work with a single clip the vision inside Insta360 studio is good, but as soon as you export it, regardless of the format (H.264, H.265, ProRes422) the image comes out blurry and flickering. If you disable 'use hardware encoder/decoder' in settings, as some advise, it improves somewhat but is still unacceptable.
Hi opacan. When you say the video is poor quality, are you comparing it to another 360 camera or another non360 camera? Which camera are you comparing it to?
Could please recommend best recording quality and easiest file creating 360 camera today? I mean which is very good in video quality but also very easy to produce 360 video file. Thanks a lot!
Hi Emilio. The easiest is Theta X because it has no stitching needed. You just record and use the 360 video immediately. But the stabilization is not that good. If you want good stabilization and you want ease of use too then I recommend insta360 one x2 or one RS.
@@360vroomers hello. Can you help? One x2 better then one rs in 360 video?
@@cybermike2969 for 360 video one x2 and RS are almost the same. RS has a slight advantage (slightly better detail) in my tests. But if you don’t need the 4k mod, you can save money and get one x2. There is a sale now: store.insta360.com/product/one_x2?insrc=IRPUI4C

Now they have updated the core and processor how long before before the 360 sensors
I think they might not update 360 mod this year. If they were going to update 360 mod I think they would have released it at the same time. If they do update 360 mod, I’m guessing they will use the same 1/2 inch sensor in the 4k boost mod, in which case the image quality will be like theta x, which is almost the same quality.

Does the 360 lens take photos at 48 MP too?
Hi Huenderson. The 48mp applies to the 4K Boost mod only. The 360 Mod takes photos at 6080 x 3040.
Will the other improved modules also come out in the coming months?
Hi Daniele. I think Core RS mod and 4k Boost mod will be available by the themselves but I don’t know when. Incidentally, if you get the 4k Boost bundle then it is like you buy the 4k boost mod, RS core mod, new battery and new bracket.
@@360vroomers Hi, I meant if there will be new 1 inch mod and 360 mod more performing with the new core
Hi Daniele. I think it's not likely there will be a new 1 inch mod in the near future because Sony has no new 1 inch sensors. As for 360 mod, it's possible if insta360 incorporates the new 1/2.0 inch sensor that they used in the 4k Boost mod, but we'll just have to wait and see. Even assuming they do that, i wouldn't expect a giant leap in image quality. It will be more like theta X, which as you can see has just slightly better image quality.

Does not fog up like the previous one R?
Is this a paid promotion?
Hi Aerospective. I haven't noticed any fogging in the 4k Boost Mod or 360 mod. The 1-inch mod is the same as the old one (I didn't notice fogging either). Pls note I am in Southern California and I haven't been traveling much this past year.
Re paid promotion, no one paid me to do this video but Insta360 sent me a unit for review. They did not look at my review before I posted it and as you can see from the video, I do my best to be as honest as possible and I will not hesitate to say that another camera like GoPro MAX or Ricoh Theta X looks better. I also have affiliate links for almost all cameras (so I think that's a wash). Ultimately, I provide the samples here so that you can judge for yourself. If you don't agree with my conclusion, at least I hope the samples will help you make an informed decision.

Buena actualizacion one r
Yes. I'm very glad that the new mods will be compatible with Insta360 One R!
pretty but nothing impressive, you have to pause to see a difference, I stay with my gopro max and I will wait at the end of the year, with the 4 new gopro models which will be superior to insta 360
you say the 360 mod is better than the insta360one x2 how can that be when the mod is exactly the same as the old one, and in your, abeit very short clip and the youtube mangle, I cannot see the difference, maybe you are wearing some rose tinted glasses 😂
Hey there Ian. Not glasses, but prisms my friend. I've wondered about that same question since the One X2 was released. I think the difference in image quality is because One X2 has a folded optical path like Theta. The additional prisms might have caused the video and photo to be slightly softer compared to One R. Either that or they used more aggressive compression for One X2.
@@360vroomers well I haven't a X2 to compare (and won't until there is a 8k consumer version) to my friends 1R (which he hates) but you are the only person who has said that, even among the obviously paid ad youtube vids that i have seen.
Hi Ian. If you PM me on Facebook I can send you frame grabs so you can judge for yourself. :)
@@360vroomers Well thank you, but not worth my or your time, as this camera would NEVER be of interest to me, as I personally cannot see the point in it. As to me the only reason to have an action camera and a 360 camera would be to use them at the same time and even if i was to use them separately too fiddly to keep changing the mods. Action cameras and 360 cameras are so small anyway these days that it is not a problem to have one of each. So i will continue to wait until they produce a 8k version of there one X2 that will then become interesting to go along with my action camera etc.
@@Ian_Woods thanks Ian. To me this kind of 2-in-1 camera is most useful for someone who is on the fence with either camera, or doesn’t need the 2nd type as much. So for example if you shoot 360 but are kind of thinking of having a GoPro as well, One RS would be great for you.
Another reason to get RS is the ability to upgrade in the future. Like a dslr you don’t throw away the body or the lenses. RS lets you upgrade each part.
Mic) glad to see your video)))
Wow you stayed up late just to watch it? Thank you very much my friend!

@@blanfix Yes GoPro Max is still a good camera, even in 2022.
Maybe in next future OneX3?
Hi Misty X. One X2 was very successful so I have no doubt that they are already working on One X3. But I have no idea when it will be released.
Tnx , I follow always your video. You are very professional.
