I find that attention to the "light" is important to good videos. I use my cell phone and run the camera from the phone. That way I can see if I'm overexposing or underexposing. By adjusting with the cell phone you can get the lighting right. It's difficult looking at the camera screen and getting a good idea of the exposure. And I use my pc to work with the videos. Couple of nice options when you finish and download your video clip.

I must confess that I’m not very good in using the Insta360 Studio instead (I’ve got a Mac). I’m using this camera especially in sport, volleyball trainings actually (I’m a Coach), and athletes find the 360 videos very useful for their movements. Thank you!

Great tips, especially about the smaller SD cards! If I wanted to move my video files from the camera's SD card off to a portable USB external hard drive to archive them, but later want to re-edit again with the Insta360 iphone app some of that archived content again (for example, maybe for a flashback scene), is it possible to move the files back to the SD card so the video can be downloaded to the iphone app again to edit and export?

@EatSleep360 4 жыл бұрын

Josh Archer thanks for the comment. Yes you can do this. You can use iTunes, which I haven’t used, or you can drag the file onto the micro sd card but you must maintain the file structure. So for PC format the card and then create a folder called DCIM and in that folder create a folder called Camera01 and put your files in here. You must remember to put both files in there from the two lenses, obvious I know but easily overlooked.

I really wanted to utilize the smart tracker!

@EatSleep360 4 жыл бұрын

Shawn Luft thanks for the comment. Even though the one x is great at capturing everything, the disadvantage is that it is all wide angle so to follow something in a busy wide shot it may get confused and as you say you’d have to zoom in - the problem then is you lose resolution. The one r tracking is a lot more intelligent so you could try that - you can use the one r app with the one x.

Another great video buddy :) Thanks for your replies on one of your other uploads :) As I mentioned, I'm a new Insta owner and am still at the baby step stage! I have made one video so far (I've filmed more but have one actual finished video) and I'm struggling a bit with wind noise. I'm using it while riding an electric unicycle so I'm doing about 20-25 mph average speed. Do you know where the mic is situated? Is there any kind of small cover similar to those fluffy mic things you see on TV? Am I best off using a separate mic and is it then easy to sync up sound when I edit my videos? I told you I like reading up and learning ;) Cheers!!

@EatSleep360 4 жыл бұрын

Steve Hargreaves thanks mate - yes audio is a big problem with the one x - the app has updated to include True audio, not sure if it’s available for Android but if you’re on iOS this will help. Check out this video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m79kf8ujvdClYXk.html - You can’t really put a wind gag on it. You could use a separate recorder like a Zoom recorder but you’d then have to use something like premiere to sync the sound.

The closer you get to the camera and lens the bigger you will become so for big feet put the camera on a small tripod near your feet and for a big head put the camera on a selfie stick near your head. Look on the app if you can because if you put your hands or feet too close to the lens they will distort along the stitch line. Hope this helps

Thank you so much for this video. Can you advise, I dog groom and want to video my grooms. What would be the best position to have the camera - I have the selfie stick. should i keep it on 360 mode? I like the voice activation which I thought would be good to use.

@EatSleep360 2 жыл бұрын

I would get a robust wide tripod like this Best360 one best360.shop?aff=3 and I would position it ideally opposite you. So there is you, the dog and then the camera on a selfie stick and tripod. If you can’t get the selfie stick high enough or if you are working against a wall with the dog then position the camera on the work surface the dog head end and a little bit higher then dog head height. You’d be able to get a nice Hyperlapse of the whole groom or wide shots and close ups. Voice activation is a good idea. I have an updated version of the mistakes video so dig around my channel.

If you have no case and you are using a thin selfie stick it shouldn’t show. Try it in the desktop studio app and use the calibration tool to see if it corrects it. Toggle dynamic stitching on and off as well. Post a screen shot on instas Facebook group and tag them if you’re still having trouble.

Just an update - I have found at times that my sandisk extreme cards don’t like recording for very long in 5.7k - I thought I’d got away with it but I think they do struggle - I’m going to start using the recommended extreme pro cards for video just to be safe. How is everyone else getting on?

I use large card for my DSLR too. I do photography mainly, i use OneX to document and record for my own use, not for youtube nor serious video. I typically can’t fill the card in a single day. I will backup every night before I rest. The advantage of having large card are. 1) no need to swap card in middle of shooting. 2) less card to manage and remember where I place them... or more accurately mis-place.

@andre826 5 жыл бұрын

I bought the insta360 One X Apple bundle which includes even an sd card. The one inside my insta was a Sandisk Extreme (the one in gold) Uhs-I V30 so why they would bundle their camera with a sd card that they won't recommend? It would be such a stupid thing I thought..so today I bought another 256Gb Sandisk Extreme (the same model) , put it into the camera, formatted and then I let it film until the battery run out. It filmed 54min of 5.7k 30Fps video without any problem so. Maybe reformatting it from the camera from time to time gives the card a better reliability?

@EatSleep360 5 жыл бұрын

Andrea Capelli thanks for commenting. There is a lot of confusion with the card spec. On paper the extreme card spec looks fine but insta360 only recommend the pro cards but from what I’ve read they are just playing safe so they have no comeback. I use both extreme and extreme pro but if I’m filming 5.7k video for long periods then I use the pro just in case. Maybe it is Apple that has put the bundle together as i don’t think insta360 would include an extreme card as you said. It’s interesting what you said about reformatting the card, I’m not sure if that makes a difference or not. I do reformat every couple of weeks and it has only been the one time that I had an issue with the extreme cards.

It’s a good question and I don’t think there are enough people doing it so it hasn’t been addressed. Let me know if you find out any more info - a firmware update that allows you to split the usb input would be good but unlikely.

I might disagree in one point: just shoot, don't hesitate to take a shot. It might turn out your shot does not work the way you intended, but this does not mean, it does not contain another great shot. Play around in post, don't let yourself be trapped in your own initial thoughts. Even if you intended an imersive photo, there might be a cool tiny planet or flat photo overcapture in it. Collect material and cast your verdict after examining in post production. Great point on using power banks. From personal experiance: don't be shy on size or capacity, there is so much more you can use it than just the One X and your phone. I got a rather big one that even can charge my drone up to four times. Even if it's large compared to other power banks it still slides in my side pocket, if I'm not having my backpack (coprising the drone, a LUMIX bridge camera and a notebook...and some accessories like filters, power connectors, wall chargers and a drinking bottle)

Azores Fishing I have only recorded 10 minutes at a time. For two hours you will need to use a power bank to power the camera.
