Small lens cloth, then the silicone cover over that. You still get the protection of the cover but won't have anything sliding over the lens. You also have your cloth ready for a quick clean as soon as you remove the cover. Just give the cloth a really good shake before it goes near the lenses.

Very helpful: not spinning the camera, being aware of light source/stitch line and in app color adjusting are my top tips. I am already cleaning lenses :). Thank you!

Brilliant info, straight to the point in a clear precise professional manner. You cut the crap, which is a much refreshing change on KZfaq. Well done, keep up the good work.

Thanks. Would be nice to have a video explaining good export settings for e.g Instagram, which will compress large files coming from high bitrate etc. Perhaps a video covering what bitrate is and when to select a lower bitrate won't noticeably sacrifice quality (eg. slow videos), what length to keep them to etc.

I'm gonna follow you because you've opened up my eyes to EVEN MORE possibilities with this amazing device!

Great tips! Thank you.

Thanks Daniel, the obvious made easy and understandable.

Loved your content man !!

Thanks man, great tips!

Excellent video as always! Thanks (from Brazil)!

Very helpful. Thank you.

Fantastic video! I'm an instant subscriber!

Great video! Simple, but very useful tips.

Awesome, and straight to the point. Thanks for the tips! I'm just getting started with my Insta360 X3, and I have that rubber cap for my camera. Will certainly have to be careful with dirt, sand, and even water. Just subscribed.

Great video, as usual. Beautiful Barcelona, Parque Güell and la Sagrada Familia. 👍

Nice video dude. Not using those silicone lens covers is definitely a good tip. I hate those things.

Finally someone is talking about this.

Thank you!

Nice video. Very useful

Zooming out is another huge quality reason! Watching a 360 video in VLC player (from the hard drive) allows you to zoom out much more compared to watching the same video on youtube. KZfaq zooms in the image a lot, thus the viewer is much closer to the blocky imperfections of low bitrate video compression.

Hello and what do you think about the cover for the lens? the original that 360 have!

how do u get a lenz fixed. my x2 is chiped on 1 side

Hi can you recommend a player that is either HLS or DASH capable? Ideally that supports desktop and headset playback

Thanks for sharing

Good stuff!

Thanks!

I hope you had fun in Barcelona, I love that place!

Thoughts on the adhesive clear lens guards?

OK, I get it, but.................I have the Insta 360 ONE RS. I get a final video quality that's not bad, but my final use is to view in VR. When I go to view it in VR, it's totally wasted. Fuzzy at best, so what am I doing wrong? Do I have the wrong camera? The only purpose I want is to view in VR and treat my footage like any other VR video. Thanks.

Thx Dude

Can you advise on how to shoot for full 360 video? Im not really interested in reframing, i want the output to be full 360. the 360 video I have now has poor quality with the X3.

Is it better to get a 360 camera composed of more than 2 cameras? Less lens distortion? Potential for higher resolution overall?

Does the video image quality depend on the camera angles? e.g., using selfie stick with lenses pointing up/down (90 degs) vs camera one lens toward the subject (0 degs) vs in between (45 degs)?

Great tips. I primarily use my Theta X for virtual tour photography, but your tip for aligning the camera to have both lenses hit sunlight makes complete sense and is a great point. One note, MOV is a container and not a codec. You can use one of many different codecs within a .MOV file. But your points about cranking up the bit rate if you want to continue editing later is key. Garbage in, garbage out, so start at high quality.

It's amazing that they don't make a cover that folds over as opposed to slide over, and has a simple lock mechanism. I'm sure it would be a good selling extra.

Brilliant tutorial mate

Just to make sure I am not missing something,....you edit the 360 video in the studio and export all the clips and then add them together in a seperate app to create a longer video? You can't do that in the studio?

So if i use microfiber cloth on my iphone x will i get 8k resolution

Help please..! I just bought my first insta360 1-inch RS and I’m really disappointed because the front camera isn’t mirrored (reversed and not showing the actual directions!!) are there isn’t options or settings that I can do in order to fix this problem?! Thanks in advance!

While watching the video on mobile, can we rotate the Mobile to watch the entire 360°view or will it be flat fixed video?

I’ve noticed there is some jitter on mine , like there is no stabilization you can notice the lights jitter specially in the darker setting

I really wanted to buy this camera for mountain hiking but seeing how vulnerable the lens are makes me really worried

I got a sticky lens guard to protect it from scratches, so good to go in any condition

is worth render to 4k 25fps? or 1080p is enough and max quality? I have 1" 360 and video footage is poor:( only 25fps, not smooth

I want to start recording my MTB riding and was thinking about buying this camera but more and more I watched I think I'll get DJI action 3 or 4

so i have to edit the video thru phon first? because i directly edited the video in my laptop and the vid quality still super sucks :((((

in all honesty (it makes it very hard to see the changes due to youtube compression) - is insta360 1 inch sensor noticably better than x3 when coming into linear mode? a lot of the compressed videos looks like a hot pixel mess on youtube

Well done

If i edit videos using my phone will consume internet data? or the transfer between camera and phone will use the wifi connection between them provided by insta360?

X3 (Single Lens / 360) vs One RS (4k Boost Lens / 360) ---AND--- X3 vs DJI A3 sometime soon please 🙏🙏🙏

I am exporting reframed video in the highest possible resolution, bit rate, and fps but the output quality is just like 360p. What am I missing?

Which 360 camera is good for motorbike ?

8:45 in App , actually the best resolution is 1440p ,which requires going to edit in stories.

Just received mine brand new opened box diligently followed the start up procedure worked for 5 mins then it had a funny turn suddenly stopped recognising sd card. Tried everything to no avail so I got an expensive piece of crap thats going back

Hi 360 guy... I have questions...I downloaded an example of 360 video from youtube. It has a split screen one video on top of the other. The top was horizontal front 360 view, the bottom video a rear vertical. My questions are... I downloaded another 360 video and this had adaptive bitrates (multi resolution) and was a single camera lense with a spherical ??? view of the world. I was not expecting multiple file formats on a single platform (youtube) Q. Do ALL 360 video's have the exact same video format when created? Q. Once uploaded to KZfaq are the video's reformatted to suit the client and playback? You might be wondering why I am asking... I was kind of interested in exactly how these 360 videos are streamed to clients and how someone can watch these videos either in a traditional screen / browser & also a headset.... I realise this a big question and I have not yet bought either a camera or headset.... but im going to :)

Is it possible or advisable to do upscale the footage in an Ai Video upscale programs once you’ve reframed the footage?

Sorry in advance, because I think my question have no relation with this video but, how can I connect with X3 and have internet to search (and do) for some stuff on the app at the same time? Just saw bunch of ppl talking bout the 360app "templates"/"examples" but I can't get into it without a internet connection, so should I search for them before I connect with X3? Or during? What you guys normally do (and how)? Thanks for any help in advance 🙏🏻

For me there is no point in colour correcting in the insta360 app. The colours come out completely different, and way worse, when the clip is exported. Suggestions?

Dirty lenses were my biggest issue! Like clean it before every shot lol

Thanks you bro . All videos perfect. I have insta360r . Insta 360 1 inch and insta360r compare. Can you it

This is a great reason to go buy a bottle of crown royal 😅. Gotta reuse the soft bag and save the environment 😊

The major problem I’m facing is that there’s a spotted area of haze/moisture appears inside of the insta360 official lens guard of my X3 every time when I’m using it which I was unable to wipe it off, and it appears only when the X3 is on, it’ll slowly went off after turning off the X3…I’m a newbie in video field especially in 360 videography, hence was scared of scratching the X3 lenses without any extra protection. The moisture spot is quite a big area, almost 1/8 of the total lens area and at the centre of the lens, it’s affecting the video quality so much. Very disappointed with the original lens guards. 😢

i don't have the "adjust" tab on my app. I use my S22 Ultra

Woof. Does the bit-rate for exporting have to be at least double of the bit-rate when recording? To meet the Nyquist limit. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

What gives the best quality video between 264 and 265?

Using the One R 1" 360 camera I have found that sharing each lens equally with the sun (or bright light source) results in a rainbow effect in the stitch line. Found it much better to point one lens at the sun rather than both.

Well dang. Was about to buy the 360 x3 . But I didn’t know that the 5.7 k meant only 1080P in the 360 mode… 😞 ohh well. I like my KZfaq videos to be top quality. I cannot stand watching a blurred vision KZfaq video.

Sharpness low? I don't understand

@5:57 aaah! hahaha

4:58 you state that manually settings are better, but the auto settings footage looks far better.

Same bloodline as John Lydon? Anyway, nice videos, ta!

Best tips. Wait 20 years when its good enough...

Unfortunately the people are right, the insta360 cameras are no where near the clarity if a normal action cam, especially when recording at speed and most defintely when zooming in in any slight way, you're gaining two 180 stitched videos in exchange for razor sharpness.. they still have a long way to go to look good

@5:56 aaah XD

360 consumer cameras have been stuck at 5.7 for over 3 years. Is there a technical reason for this stall?

I'm using the sticky lens guard and sometimes the stitch line is very visible when it's sunny. But I'm afraid to scratch my lens too. I don't know what to do 😞

I won't buy one because I have no idea if the editing / post processing software will run under Windows 7. I certainly don't want to do it on an Android phone, and even if I had to, I doubt it would on my old version (5?) of Android. Maybe if you could esstablish some minimum system requirements itwould help people decide, because I'm perfectly fine with 1080p footage, in fact, I prefer it.

What is with the frame rate when editing in Insta studio...30 frames... I live in PAL country?

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Hey Sherminator😂

You look like sherminator from movie American pie😂😂

Photos surely sucks on my X3! Its like photos from a 5 megapix era camera👎

Most people watch videos nowadays anyway on their tiny phone screen. So, the "limited" resolution of the X3 is more than enough for the most common joes. 👍😅

Heres what you should do, buy a decent phone or buy a good camcorder. Insta360's a glitchy nightmare

1st of all they are just cameras sport cameras action cameras .This is something what i want to put on front glass and have decent quality and sharoness with image stabikization .We cant demand more .If some1 dont like quality so move then to DLSR with gimbal.

Nope still bad, no matter how much you polish a poo, at the end of the day it is still a poo, if Insta didn't sponsor so many people, not sure if we'd be even talking about it. But thank you for the tips, appreciate it!
