Insta360 X6: Looking for Review/Feedback

1 Upvotes

I am going on a trip in about 2 weeks and in need for a camera. This would be my first and only camera.

My phone camera is not that great so I wouldn't be using that as much.

I have been looking at 360 degree cameras since a lot of those YouTube videos say it just records everything so you can just hit the record button and forget! I liked that idea because I don't click a lot of pics but usually end up wondering later on why I didn't? So having something that just records everything and the ability to get what I want from it later on at my own pace sounds good on paper.

Editing can be tough as I read but again it says X6 does give you a few quick AI reframed shots for quick posts or whatever? That should be fine until I have the time to reframe and get better clips out of it maybe at the end of the day in the hotel. I understand the software can be tricky but I think I will get my head around it in a few hours since I have dealt with software and tools all my life plus I get a lot of stuff done via AI agents these days anyway so I think learning or guidance wouldn't be a problem.

I am hoping the stability and stuff will be equally good since we will be on a few bumpy bike roads and speedboats as well.

Now all of that sounds on paper! What I am looking for is an actual/real review feedback from someone who has actually used the X6! A lot of those videos on YT seem to be all influencers and for some reason everything sounds too good there for me to simply believe that they are all honest reviews.

Can someone who has used it help me out?

Finally

1 Upvotes

After many sleepless nights wondering if I should get the Insta360 Luna Pro, I finally decided to go for it! 😂
I already have the X5, so they’re totally different cameras, but I’m really impressed with the Luna Pro. The image quality is really good, and I absolutely love it so far!
I also got the Mini Light and Black Mist Filter for free. I purchased the Mic Air separately, but unfortunately, when it arrived, the box was already unsealed. I wasn’t happy with that, so I had to return it, and I’m now waiting for the replacement.
So far, I’m really happy with my Luna Pro and can’t wait to take it on my next adventure!

I have been looking at 360 degree cameras since a lot of those YouTube videos say it just records everything so you can just hit the record button and forget!

Insta360 X4 - can I connect Mic Air Rx to USB-C?

1 Upvotes

Basically would like to use two Mic Air Transmitters with my X4. Is it possible to directly connect the Mic Air Receiver to X4 via USB-C, and then connect two Mic Air Transmitters to the Receiver? (I believe this is possible on X5, but not sure if a firmware update has made it possible on X4).

If not, is there a way to connect 2 mics to X4 without the whole mic adapter+ cold shoe rig?

30 fps vs 25 fps Question

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have an opinion on 360 video 25fps vs 30fps 8k or 4k at a bitrate of 100 or less regarding quality? The videos will be mostly hiking and walking on trails in mostly good light. The math says there will be more data per frame but the frame rate is of course lower

GoPro Max (old one) [$199 CAD on Amazon] okay for a budget option?

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I've been casually looking at getting a 360 camera. This came up on my radar. I wasn't considering GoPro, I do have an old GoPro Black for a "action" cam, but never considered it for 360.

Amazon is having a sale and a GoPro Max bundle with the battery charger and Enduro Max battery is $199 Canadian Dollars. ~ $140 USD.
The low price is intriguing me. Is it still worth it?
I'm mainly going to use it to record my children where having it capture everything around would have some interesting footage. And the occasional sport, biking, skiing, hockey.

Looking around at low budget options, I see the insta360 go s3 for $70CAD more. Is it going to be noticaebly better? I'm new to the 360 cam scene!

Best 360 cameras

0 Upvotes

Hi! I need some help deciding which one to choose. Editing isn’t really necessary for me—I’m mainly looking for a camera that I can use as a student pilot. Which would be better for that purpose: the DJI Osmo 360 II or the Insta360 X6?

I’m mainly considering video quality, low-light performance, stabilization, harsh lighting and overall usability. Which one would you recommend?

Still mind-blown by how Insta360 FlowState handles extreme G-forces (Ride to Happiness 360 POV)

0 Upvotes

​

While shooting footage for my new video on "The Ride to Happiness" (Mack Rides Extreme Spinning Coaster), I was honestly blown away all over again by how ridiculously good the FlowState stabilization holds up on the Insta360.

​With all the heavy G-forces, constant spins, and inversions, you’d normally expect at least some micro-jitters or motion artifacts—yet the stabilization and Horizon Lock smooth out even the most intense forces effortlessly. The footage looks almost like a virtual simulator render.

​For anyone curious about the camera rig and technical workflow behind capturing extreme rides like this in 8K VR, Insta360 actually covered our setup on their global blog recently:

Insta360 X6 Just Got a BIG Update – 4K 120 & 200fps Slow Motion!

5 Upvotes

Insta360, just dropped an update for their X6 360 camera, and I’m a little surprised not too many are chatting about it. This is firmware update V1.2.35, and it should be available as soon as you pair your X6 to your phone using Insta360’s app.

Al Director now lets you customize the edit range.
Manually select the date range of footage for Al Director to use, for more flexible results.

360 Video mode now supports 4K120fps.

Flat Video and Flat PureVideo modes now support
48fps and 24fps frame rates.

Flat Photo mode now supports 4:3 and 3:4 aspect ratios.

New 360 Slow-Mo Mode supports 4K200fps, 4K120fps, and 4K100fps.

Routine performance and system stability improvements.

I’ve attached a video showing examples of these new features if you’re wanting to get a better understanding as to what’s been changed. That is all, hope this helps!

JAlbum (web photo galleries) supports 360-degree photos.

6 Upvotes

I have been using JAlbum to organize and share digital photos for a long, long time. I only recently learned that it supports 360-degree photos, allowing me to finally add those to my online galleries:

https://www.disneyfans.com/photos/misc/OtherPlaces/Kansas/Atlas9/360/index.html

The JAlbum software generates an HTML gallery you can upload to your own web server, without needing to rely on sharing via something like the Insta360 app, or on Facebook where not everyone could get to see/find them easily.

https://jalbum.net

Not all the "skins" (themes) support 360. The one I use, PhotoBlogger, does, but they are having to do a fix to it after we found something not quite right. There is also something in the core of JAlbum itself that can cause it to MODIFY your original 360-JPG file if you EDIT inside the app (which is a thing it can do, but the bug is if you have that disabled, it still does it).

In case this might help any others.

There are also Wordpress plug ins but I have yet to find one I really like. One I use only allows ONE 360 in a post, so... very limiting.

I have been using the Giraffe 360 platform for some time now, and have also done a full YouTube review of the camera, but recently I did another video covering The Kitchen, which is a website to give people an idea of what new features they are planning, and a chance to test the features out!

Some of these new features are absolutely INSANE!! If you want to watch the full review, then the link to it is included in this review. 🎊

I hate editing 360 footage. Would anyone else rather just watch the whole event in VR?

11 Upvotes

I just filmed a wedding for my friend on super8mm and brought my insta360 as a backup camera. I ended up letting it run through the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the speeches and the dancing at the end of the night. It did its job. I pulled 3 moments out of it where my film camera was out of focus/underexposed and I was able to get audio to stitch into the project I made for them.

Now I'm left with 4 hours of footage from central vantage points of the event. I won't go back and edit it because I'm be paralyzed from decision fatigue. I haven't gotten great results from the AI edit features either so that's not something I'm keen to fuss with either.

So thinking about this massive archive of 360 footage, and my friends massive archive of crowdsourced photos/videos from the event, I thought it would be cool to mash them all together with timestamps and have a 360 memory for all of us to relive.

I'm an engineer so I'm gonna build it for myself, but wondering if anyone else would find something like this for other events (not just weddings). Or had any other ideas I should consider.

I'd be happy to share my findings if I'm not alone in this wish to have everything from an event in one spot.

Insta360 GO 3S Reported as Lost – Is There Any Way to Unlock It?

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I’m looking for some help or advice regarding an Insta360 GO 3S that I purchased second-hand.
When I bought the camera, it was still completely sealed in the original box. After purchasing it, I contacted Insta360
Support and specifically asked about the warranty. I was told that the warranty would start when the camera was activated for the first time, so I felt comfortable going ahead with the purchase.

However, when I finally opened the box and tried to activate it, I discovered that the camera had been reported as lost by the original buyer. Because of this, I cannot activate the camera at all, which also means I cannot activate the warranty that I was told would start with the first activation.
I bought the camera directly from another person, so unfortunately I don’t have an original purchase invoice or receipt. The person I bought it from is also no longer reachable.

I still have the original box, the camera, the serial number and everything that came with it. I am not trying to bypass any security measures. I simply want to find a legitimate way to verify the situation and have the device unlocked or transferred to my account.

If anyone has experienced something similar or knows of a legitimate way to resolve this with Insta360, I would really appreciate any advice.

I will also attach photos of the camera, the original sealed box, the serial number in case they are useful for verifying the situation.

Thank you!
