Insta360 - ONE RS Twin Edition

Definitely DO NOT get a GoPro Hero. They've had long standing reliability issues for years and made it abundantly clear they do give a single shit. It's especially annoying when you're on a motorcycle. They'd rather pump out a "new" camera with the same problems every year than to actually fix their shit. Never again will I invest in GoPro anything. Stick with DJI or Insta.

look at the Insta OneRS - pretty old now so you should get a good deal or find second hand. It has two lenses, one 360, the other 2d. Example here: [https://youtu.be/6u5SG5iJnQY?si=G\_cBMNKEKA1SQUaG](https://youtu.be/6u5SG5iJnQY?si=G_cBMNKEKA1SQUaG) \- make sure you have switched Youtube to highest quality setting! Other thing to consider is how to wear it when kite surfing. Helmet mount best betbut if you don't wear a helmet then this is a whole other thread for 360 camera positioning Lenses will scratch but i seem to remember Insta offering overlays - but may have dreamt that

One RS Twin is a great camera. You can use it with the regular non-360 lens or go full 360. I had it for about a year and loved it before I sold it and got an Ace Pro and X3.

Personally I just picked up the One RS Twin and I think it’s probably the best value for what you get: a 360 lens AND an action cam lens. It’s also in that familiar action cam shape too so you can get like cages and other accessories for it while still keeping the actual size pretty small.

Most gopros are prety nice underwater. If dont force 4k no overheating problem at all. I tried my insta360 one rs underwater, that is a nightmare. Why dont u borrow few different cameras a decide yourself?

Of the options in your budget I’d go with the DJI. The GoPro Hero 4K is a budget camera. While GoPro makes good cameras every budget camera they have tried to make has just had tons of issues. The One RS is old in insta360 lineup. Good audio wasn’t possible without using a separate audio recorder. The modular design was neat but insta360 has gone away from the modular platform so spares will become harder to replace.

I got a Osmo action 3 from best buy on sale, and a insta 360 rs. The Osmo is wonderful for the cost

I recently purchased an older Insta360 action cam, the One RS Twin Edition. It's modular, and shoots both regular flat video and 360 degree video. At the time it offered more versatility than a GoPro. And I believe generally you get "more" for your money with Insta360. They've got free mobile and desktop software that is relatively easy to use, if at times a bit frustrating. My overall impression (not having used GoPro but having done enough research for my immediate needs) is that Insta360 is better for those don't care about a lot of professional options and settings etc. But GoPro seems to have superior functionality if you want better results and are willing to learn how to get them. That being said, as a professional, Insta360 is lacking in a lot of ways that I think a power user won't find acceptable. My next purchase will be GoPro.

Insta360 or DJI action cam. The current crop of go pro cameras need to have the heavy duty (white) batteries and often will shut off due to the battery vibrating and the camera thinking it is overheating. My favorite for all around view is insta360 rs one with 360 module. It's discontinued, but great quality and size. The DJI action is great and usually on sale. For 4k the insta360 rs pro. PS, you don't need to respond to this comment and tell me your go pro works fine. I own 3-12 blacks, 6-11 blacks, a few 10s and I'm almost rid of all my 9s finally. I do video coaching and use them extensively, all run dev firmware.... I own 4 of the rs ones, 2 rs pros, 3-action 4s, an action 5 and 2 aim smartycam 3 units.

Split the difference with the Insta360 ONE RS which can do both. That's what I have and it works great for both uses as an action camera and then swap the lens for 360° shots. Get a free Invisible Selfie Stick through this link: https://www.insta360.com/sal/one_rs?utm_term=INRCHV3

Finally seeing the weight! The Qoocam 3 Ultra seems really heavy compared to the older Qoocam 8K I have (245g) I hadnt realised they'd upped the weight so much. I use an Insta360 One RS on a chinmount when MTBing and have seen people using X models (I guess the added weight doesn't pull their helmets down) but I definitely feel the 245g of the Qoocam 8K is too much for a chin mount.

Insta360 is the best we’ve used and the 360 has major benefits.

It has AI editing on the phone app. Which is dope and makes editing a breeze.  It’s not a bad camera for your first one but… but.. the accessories are expensive I have a Sony camera, a few go pros but the 360 is really useful for getting the right angle without messing around with a tripod 

Except for safari, GP13 is very good A good alternative could also be a 360 camera, especially for things like cage shark diving. I personally think Insta360 is better than GoPro for 3d cams

I'd suggest you to get the Action 4. Better vfm. Can get the action 5 spare batteries for better battery life (if needed). Insta 360 is doing different ball game. It's an awesome secondary camera but not a good primary one.

Insta 360 anytime of the day

I would pick the dji any day over the insta 360 for a primary camera. Although the insta 360 gives a very good variety of angles, there’s not much of creative freedom that comes with it. Dji on the other hand, you can connect your mic easily for vlogging; it has better clarity, the overall quality is also much better. Accessories for the dji are priced fairly and the intsa 360 mounts are known to be fragile so I personally would stay away from those. If you already have a main camera, then go for the insta and try new angles for cinematic shots, but bear in mind, if you end up damaging the 360, there’s almost no way of getting it repaired.

If u want to vlog n need a good low light performances than go for Action 5 pro. DJI wireless mic system can be easily paired with Action 5. Please don't go for any GoPro. DJI n Insta360 r far ahead of it interms of technology n features. If u want versatility than go for Insta 360. Also wait for few days. Amazon freedom sale will be coming. U can get better deals on both if cameras.
