I just purchased one!

I'm searching all information about x3 for last few days and perfect youtube algorithm just showed me this video and I just bought it via your link! Cheers for the perfect video, subbing! keep it up. One day I will come to Canada for working holiday visa and visit Whistler for freeride skiing 100%

Great information on the Insta360. How do you get the 10% off and the free snow bundle ? I clicked on the link and it shows only the regular price of $599.99 . Thanks and keep those videos coming ......

@@Denizz._ Ayyeee you're the man! Thank you. DM me if you have any questions!

@@TheBeMixX Gotta love that algorithm! Thanks for the support. Fire me a DM if yo have camera related questions. Always happy to help :)

Thanks so much! Super glad you found it helpful. Camera's can be confusing so hit me up if you have any questions!

Thanks for watching! I couldn't agree more, the post processing time is always worth it!

Thanks dude! Super stoked to have you along for the ride and even more thrilled that you're getting back on the horse. Have an amazing season!

That's awesome! The 360 is so fun to play around with on the mountain!

Amazing thank you! It looks just as sick on ski trips as it does in the sunshine. One of my all time favourite shots is holding the selfie stick off a speed boat, looks so flipping cool. Dude, you are a visionary @insta360 should hire you in the engineering department hahah

Thanks John. It's all because of you guys! Really making my dreams come true. Beyond grateful!

Thanks Chaz! Looks like were in for another decent weekend out here!

Glad you liked it Will! Will be interesting to see what action camera brands come out with next. Insta360 always seems to be a little ahead of the curve when it comes to cool technology. Cardo looks interesting, would be sweet for instructors, teaching kids and chatting with friends!

@riseandalpine The Cardo/Sena headsets for motorcycles work fantastically, and the communication with other riders increases your safety greatly. But as far as for skiing, I think it will be too much of a distraction. Maybe for instructors and those taking ski lessons, it might be useful?

The sticky lens guard can mess up the stitching a little bit. I'm fairly picky since I edit video all the time and I just prefer to leave it off and risk a few scratches.

Hey Sam! The 360 is just way more versatile than a traditional go pro and is ideal for making social media/vertical clips (go pro sucks at that). I much prefer the insta app to Go Pro's, easier to use and they don't charge you a rip off subscription. The Mic is 100% not necessary, I just toss it on on the super windy days for fun to try and improve my filming. Battery is 5x better than the go pro. I burn through 3 go pro hero 11 enduro battery's before this one dies. Go Pro dies fast in the cold but I can leave this on my head all day and it doesn't seem to get affected.

@@riseandalpine thanks for your reply. You are the best!! I will use ur code when I finally get it!

Thanks! Insta360 takes great care of me with cameras which is awesome! Looks like we've got more snow on the way.

No way! You'll have to share some of that footy with me. I've always dreamed of skiing in France.

Lords of the land by Xavy Rusan. He's also got some other great tracks on Epidemic

I just use one of the regular ones. Helmet mounts are kind of tricky to pace depending on the brand of the helmet. The best spot is a little closer to the forehead, but my Smith helmet only really has a decent area right in the centre.

Hey! I hit tree branches too all the time, have had some gnarly tomahawks and drop my selfie stick a little too much. I've only put one scratch into the X3 lens over two seasons of filming. Even with the scratch I continued to film for most of last season and it was barely noticeable. I've smashed Go Pro lenses as well so its just one of those luck of the draw things. Insta360 offers a $50 damage protection where you can send it in for repair during the first year if something happens, they cover shipping unlike Go Pro who makes you cover shipping both ways, pay a fee and pay for the stupid subscription (I've really got it out for GoPro and their greasy subscription model). I've tried the sticky lens guards but find they can mess up the stitching a little bit so I don't think they are worth it. My trick with the headcam and tree skiing is to angle it down and forward. Branches will hit the top of the camera instead of the lens directly. Skiing with the head cam vertical is risky in the trees because you might forget it is there!

@@riseandalpine awesome! Thanks for the advice, I’m really trying to make an informed decision before I purchase but it sounds worth it!

@@Teeeeeeeeeeeeem 100% - it's a big purchase. I always do so much research before I buy things too LOL

I actually don't have any experience with the oneR. However, the only way to not have the stitch line with the head mount looking backwards is to keep it completely vertical. 99% of the time I have the stitch line unless I use a unicorn mount. Since I don't use that view very often I find it doesn't affect production. Let me know if you find a solution!

Yup. X2 works great. Only downside is you cant film in 5k like the X3. Other than that, it was my daily camera for 2 years

Rob shouldn't have farted so often on the Garbo chair... It finally got it's revenge

Both are solid and it's been snowing consistently!

@@riseandalpine that’s awesome!!!

I totally agree. POV ski filming makes it impossible to really see how steep terrain is. Even a traditional camera can't capture gradient unless it is at a far distance or specific side angle. Drone shots do a pretty good job at showing terrain. Given my skill level, I doubt I'll ever have a real film crew following me (we'll leave that for the boys at MSP). It's still cool I can play with a cam like the 360 to get me much closer than some of the other options.

Such a worthy investment if you like capturing clips from a day of adventuring. I also find it looks so sweet hiking in the summer, especially on ridges!

I ski through lots of branches and it holds up just fine. I always attempt to punch them out of the way.

Thanks Austin! Working really hard at it :)

Totally! Especially for the selfie stick view, it just can't be beat!

Exporting in 4k using the desktop app is the trick. You can also do some color grading for low light but I don't often do so. Action camera's just don't have the sensors for flat light conditions, go pro is a million times worse. The X4 will be interesting to see with the new sensor, also the ace pro is good for flat light. If you're trying to get shots in flat light you have to flip to selfie mode or get in the trees so you have a little bit of perspective.

The best spot to mount on the helmet is just slightly forward!

@@riseandalpine tyanks that’s what I do

Everyone needs a "Frank" in their lives. Here's hoping you don't have to dig his drunk ass out of too many tree wells this season!

Liquid Courage ski Hot Sauce

I prefer the X3 because you can film in 5k instead of just 4k so the 4k upload looks much crispier, but honestly, if you're just using it for fun, the X2 is more than enough

He was such a good personality on the videos.... (Hiring a new Adventure Rob if anybody is interested) Requirements 1. Positive Attitude 2. Witty One Liners 3. Pink Toque 4. Perma Smile 5. Name has to be Rob

@@riseandalpine I think i could qualify, sadly my tongue is not pink (i am a goose)

Sales/strategy related stuff across a bunch of different industries. Shifted jobs a lot, nothing ever felt good. All I've ever wanted to do was play more outside and entertain others. I feel super grateful I can mix all my passions together and scratch together rent for the time being.

Your an inspiration dude, my partner and i are at bigwhite for the winter, visiting from nz.. if your around at any point we would love to shred with ya!

Lucas that's a wild story LOL. Kind of confusing that the RS needs an extra lens for 360 mode. At least you got a solid action camera hahaha!

That's a bummer. I've used the X2 & X3 now daily for the last few years and haven't come across any issues. Did you possibly have an SD card issue?

Interesting. Do you find the go pro wide lens does the same?

@riseandalpine No, I'm okay with the GoPro. I know many other ppl who also get vertigo from the 360. Several motorcycle racers I follow, like Max Wrist, use the 360, and I also get bad vertigo from it. I'm 65, and most of those I find that are bothered by the 360 are also my age, so that might be an age thing?

​@@HawgRiderBC Fair enough! I know the vertigo feeling, I get it sometimes when editing or watching but usually only for vertical video for whatever reason. I always try and zoom in just enough to have my skis but try to to round out the background too much.

@riseandalpine Your use of the 360 is mostly watchable. A lot of ppl really overuse it. And as soon as the vertigo sets in, I have to stop watching it.

All these clips were filmed in Whistler from December 23 to the 31

It's crazy right! The dreaded GoPro beep of death half an hour into the ski day. (that stuff lives in my nightmares).

Hahaha don't mention it! I'm getting flashbacks!!!@@riseandalpine
