Waterproof, it has a screen!, a bigger battery, USB-c....All the things we asked for and extra software magic from version 1. You’ve been staring at too many cameras for too long. I’d call it a great upgrade. Love your channel by the way.

You say "all the things *we* asked for...". I say that "what *we* were asking for" was a better sensor than the One X to deliver improved image quality and detail. We didn't get it with the One R and at the second opportunity Insta360 still haven't delivered. I understand Bens frustration.

It's all academic. The bottom line, it isn't going to get me to retire my X and open a new chapter with the X2. If my X is ever damaged beyond repair, or finally craps out, I'll replace it with the X2. As far as the post-editing modes, all of them are very interesting, but how many times can you use them before they become tired and overused? They really put GoPro in a corner with the R, they should have worked to do the same with Ricoh's Z1.

A little screen, you still need your phone, USB C is not the end of the world not having that. The only big improvments are that it's waterproof (not much, maybe for rain or if you drop it) and the bigger battery.... I would change all of that for better sensor and more resolution.....

I love the ShotLab features, it's actually why I bought my ONE R - sooooooooo many COOL features with no editing! I updated the app and saw the new features are for both ONE R and ONE X2😍. Seems mostly a hardware difference between R and X2, that battery and screen look nice

Thanks for the review! I've never had a 360 camera, but the stabilisation of this cam looks killer. I first heard about the invisible selfie stick from Insta360 so the marketing works😂 Honestly i'm pretty lazy so I'd probably use the steady cam and pano features to cut down on editing, dont hate

I am in the same mindset as you. My only experience with 360 is a few trips with an old Samsung 360 camera. I loved it. The Insta 360 X2 for me is nice because I am not in love with the thought of editing for several hours. The footage should be impressive enough for everyone that doesn't want to be a pro.

@trickfall8752 3 жыл бұрын

Waterproof and being less reliant on the app when shooting is enough to warrant the upgrade for me. Also, while I get where you are coming from with limiting some software features to the newer cameras I don't have an ethical problem with that because when you buy the camera you are also buying the software. What I do think would be smart though is for Insta360 to let you upgrade your software for a reasonable price. I mean I'd probably be willing to spend twenty, or thirty dollars to gain access to the new features and it's reasonable for them to be able to recoup ongoing development costs.

Great video! But there are many things that I don't agree. I saw other reviews and the image quality improved quite a lot, especially in coloring and bitrate. They also improved the lenses, not exact same material as R or X. If you compare with other cameras like one r, one x and gopro Max you can clearly see the difference in the bitrate, there are some reviewers testing it on mountain bike and the details on X2 are much better

Thank you for your thoughts and honest comparison For me personally, the biggest and most important achievement is that it is waterproof and that I no longer need different housings for it if there is only heavy fog, drizzle or snow An important question occurs to me right now, does the new camera even fit the old housing from the oneX? The ones I have were quite expensive, especially those for diving :D Thank you and best wishes Stefan

Absolutely on point re the questionable ethics with their effects. I bought into Insta360 initially, right up to and including the One X and the 360 GO, but as soon as I got wind of the _questionable_ restrictions, my money stayed in my pocket. I’ve seen _dozens upon dozens_ of folks adopting the same mindset. How regrettable. The auto-waterproof status is really appealing (game changer for what I do) but once the trust is damaged, well, it’s damaged. Their solution would be an apology, a change of stance and let’s all move forward. How refreshing would that be 😁🤩🤞

I am a simple person. I see Ben Claremont's video, I click But about the OneX2 I am not super disappointed. Well maybe yes, they did not make it a massive upgrade. Even I was expecting some jump up in resolution. I was hoping for at least 6.5 K AT LEAST. But it is not a bad camera in terms of updates, they did better in a LOT of other things. But lets pray that Insta360 can update the resolution if enough people ask for it. But I can't wait until your video comparing all the 360 cameras that are good. January 1st CAN'T WAIT!!! Lets see how the order changed!!

@chris 3 жыл бұрын

The ethics issue is a big one for me. I had the X and had no issues with it, but I wanted some of the new features that as you stated were available for a short time to the X before they changed the apps. There's no reason at all why the new features in the shot lab are limited to the X2 other than greed to get people to upgrade to the X2. Well it finally worked. I sold my X on eBay and paid the difference to upgrade to the X2. It is a better camera for a lot of reasons (which you covered) but their business practices need to be improved in order to maintain customer loyalty. Basically they're saying that you have to upgrade (even if there's no logical reason to do so) in order to get the new features. Also, waiting 2 years for the X2 from the X and there aren't any upgrades to the camera? Shame on them. In 1 or 2 years they'll be at it again with the X3--but hopefully they'll release the 8K version (of course after releasing the R2 with 8K 9 months before the X3). Insane...

Ben, after seeing a ton of reviews on the One X2 since yesterday that just gush how "absolutely amazing and perfect" this 360 camera is (despite the obvious elephant in the room regarding specs), all I can say is that you, as always, provide an opinion that consumers can 100% trust. Not that I have the same opinion as you (I do), but to also provide truth to the advertising and marketing of all the cam companies, not just Arashi Vision, is simply fantastic and appreciated. Now, GoPro typically provides a reduced bundle price or give a price reduction on their products most holiday seasons; I wonder if Arashi Vision will do the same? If they do, I'll be using your link in the description to buy the One X2! Thanks for all you do, Ben, and we look forward to your full review!

@dobbatron 3 жыл бұрын

'Shouldn't upgrade' from One X REALLY depends on your usage scenario I think - my main use is outdoors, esp snow and near water. Using a case is really annoying and stitch lines suffer. As well as the screen I believe this also has voice control so no more dreadful remote controller. Bigger battery...again snow/outdoors use, yes please. Hopefully you won't need Insta's proprietary cable to dump footage etc to an iPhone any more either. For my needs as a One X owner, selling the One X plus accessories at a decent price makes this a totally worthwhile upgrade - better features and screen visibility =time/stress saved, less damage risk (hopefully) and less stuff to carry around/lose adds up to an upgrade here.

Hopefully in the next couple years as VR adoption grows even further companies will release new stereo cameras again.

Minor changes, seems to me, hanging in there, until someone else comes out with the next 360 Camera with a Wow factor. Thanks for your candid comparison regarding their old One X and the R.

Insta360 is just doing what Apple is doing, releasing a new 360 camera/phone with no real upgrades or improvements while removing some essential items. You're right Ben, there are complaints in the comment section alright.

@kierenkd 3 жыл бұрын

I only own an ipad but Apple release updates for as long as the hardware supports it - often 4 to 5 years where you get new features. The new hardware they release is much power powerful than android, useful if maybe you edit on your phone - like some journalists etc

Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts, both the good and the bad...very refreshing. Must admit I was impressed with Insta’s hype. 360 is something I’m seriously considering to record video of our travels (if/when COVID restrictions end). It’ll take care of trying to decide where to point the camera and allow the viewer to choose...was in SYD earlier this year and just so much going on around the Opera House I KNOW I was missing something in order to catch something else! As a matter of interest, how good is the GPS accessory? Does it plot the various locations on, say, a Google map? or just a squiggly line overlay on the video? The promo shot is a little vague. Thanks again for sharing and looking forward to seeing more. Take care and catch you later. Peter

they shouldve just made this a step up and still sell the one x at a reduced cost. this is a fix of the one x, although good, its still not budget friendly. we need a good budget 360 below $300.

Who would buy the One X2 if the One X was available at a knock down price? How would they fund the development of the next camera if their profits are reduced?

@truthseeker6804 3 жыл бұрын

@@geekinthegarden3927 if a person is buying the one x and sees that the x2 is waterproof, that can lead people to buy the x2 rather. if they reduce the price they can get more buyers and make more profit due to more sales, than having the prices that high.

I dont agree. The photo/sound/stiching quality and stabilization of the One X2 is better than the regular one X and one R. Yesterday i have watched the reviews of 360rumors and creator up and they adressed quite some positive things about the X2. The ai editing for virtual tours is awsome. The Z1 images are slightly more detailed but it takes more time to edit them to get similar results.

@dlsigler 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Ben...I have been perusing all the other reviews and asking the basic questions that you've just answered. The X2 is clearly a physical upgrade from the One X, but without a resolution upgrade, the only real additions are the "neat" additional features in the software...which makes it a great "fun" camera. Don't get me started with the One R...it is a great idea and has pushed GoPro into a corner, but already owning a One X and a Hero 8, the One R for me is a lateral replacement, never an upgrade. I have the One X, have always been amazed by its capabilities, and have had fun with it but I've always known that to push a 360 business, I'd have to get more serious with a 360 camera. You have always stood by the Z1 as a great camera for VR touring. Since I already have video covered with my X1 and Hero 8, I think I'm going to focus my camera dollars in the direction of the Z1...that is of course unless there is a pending Z2!

I didn't notice much of a difference in video quality between the R and the x2 in side by side testing but see noticeable improvements between the x and the x2. Dynamic range is much improved and the sharpness is also improved. The default colors are also better, IMO.

@kengrun 3 жыл бұрын

As someone who has often used the original ONE X for work applications (roundtable discussions, concerts, videography with reframe), I see quite a few reasons to upgrade. H265 recording itself (along with the new sharping from the R) is a big plus - but then to have the screen for quick stitch line and exposure checks; AirPod mic support, Multiview (does it create two separate MP4s?) and steady cam mode (baked in video like this can't be understated with quick turnarounds) for videography purposes, and generally improved built-in reference audio and water resistance all sweeten the deal. I certainly agree with your issue about insta360 claiming certain effects being tied to specific cameras, however I never use them to begin with. Just my perspective.

1) Would love to see a chart in your comparison vids that summarizes your conclusions in one place. 2) Hope to see a vid by you demonstrating the new shot lab features like you did before with freeze frame, etc. Finally, this was an excellent video. I have a ONEX and OneR so I won’t be getting the latest camera. I think they will have to make significant improvements with their next product to make it more appealing to their loyal customers. Also interested to see if GoPro comes out with something new.

And here is the video of my personal MVP of 360° cam KZfaqrs on the One X2 🥳! I was really looking forward to it! Thanks for your honesty, Ben! I really appreciate your experience with and knowledge about the 360 cam sphere, and your opinion about how specs are marketed etc. I'm looking forward for your next videos on the One X2! Important (maybe even urgent) question: Should we rather buy the One R or the One X2, 1. knowing that Black Friday is around the corner and the One R probably will be discounted (it had discounts in the last 2 months before the announcement of the One X2) 2. Some parts of the One X2 hardware are slightly better (housing, touch screen, mics, sensors), and the product development might focus more on the hardware of the newer device?
