Coming from a gopro HD hero 1 (2010-2011) I was in the market for a 360 camera. Insta one rs was the only one that you could assemble as a 360 or a standard 4k camera, so I've gone with it. But even if I was coming from an ancient camera, there were a lot of things that I preferred the gopro way.. If there was a modular camera from gopro I would have gone with them no doubt.
Exactly this!!!!! Lost some coin falling for the old influencer hype over the insta 360 rs 🪙 Literally purchased every single accessory and lens for that camera..... And it didn't remotely come close to the image quality of GoPro I was truly out of pocket lol Cool camera But I'm staying with GoPro forever I don't care about share prices and stock etc Just love all that GoPro has done for the action camera realm
Use your phone! Everything else is either expensive or not worth it especially in low light. Alot of DJs are using 360 cameras now as it can capture both audience reaction and your moves. The latest insta360 one is good in low-light but it's expensive. Maybe you can justify it with some of your other hobbies too.
The GoPro one was on sale for $299. I already have 6 GoPro Cameras, 4 of which I use all the time, I just decided to stay in the same Ecosystem. I also have an Insta360 One which was my first 360 camera. Sure, the Insta Software on the Mac is better than what is offered through GoPro but I will grab clips off my phone and then dump them to my computer to put them together into the video. I would never have considered the Max 2 at the retail price of $619 each including the bundle with the pole, 2x batteries, memory card and a set of the replaceable lenses. $299 was a heck of a deal for what you get. The user replaceable lense was a MAJOR selling point for me, yes, the Insta360 5 has them now but the GoPro just works and is easier.
I have to suggest the 360 cams. Based on what you want it for. Its really the perfect tool to capture quick moments. Not having to frame the shot, being able to just put it on a tripod and let it run knowing it will capture everything is a huge factor. Imagine wanting to take a quick group shot or video. U don't even need to make sure everyone is in frame. Just press the shutter. Now if u want to do like a baby FPV or have your kid hold it then yeah the nano or go ultra If not 360 cam all the way. Insta360 specifically for the editing in the app. Reframing in post edit is not that difficult once you get the hang of it.
I used an insta 360 for about a year. Mounted on my left handlebar so it could see front and back. The picture was rarely clear enough to get plates especially in the dark. It was annoying to mount, charge, get videos off it, etc. It also made me overly conscious of everything going on around me. When I posted videos in local fb of bad drivers, I was attacked. When I posted videos of good courteous drivers, I got good responses, but still attacked. Bad for mental health, so I just started sending videos to the local police. I lost the camera and never replaced it. I like riding again.
