Why this camera rocks:

It’s easy to use and comes with fun features like bullet time and free capture

What comes in the box:

Camera, case/stand, bullet time string, lens cloth, charging cable, 8GB micro SD card

What doesn’t come in the box:

  • Insta360’s ‘invisible’ selfie stick
  • Insta360’s IP68 waterproof housing
  • Drone, helmet and suction cup mounts
  • Lightning dock extender

Helpful hints:

  • What Insta360 gets right with all their cameras is ease of use. Just plug in the camera and you’ll download and/or launch the app automatically.
  • Although it comes with an 8GB micro SD card, you may want a bigger card if you’re an active user.
  • The included case/stand is not a handle when the camera is attached to your phone. Don’t use it that way, or prepare to see your phone and camera takeIndividual instance of a shot; a take = each time the camera is started and stopped. a tumble.
  • The camera has a 70-minute battery life when continuously recording video.
  • You can record in jpeg or RAW for photos and mp4 or LOG for video, giving you greater control when post processing using RAW and LOG.
  • You can also record in Insta360’s own file formats, insp for photos and insv for videos. Simply change the file extension .insv to .mp4 for a regular old mp4 file.
  • There is no preview option when connected to the camera remotely, neither live review or preview for video. Use a lightning dock extender to preview and review footage from the camera without removing it from the tripod.
  • The camera features internal 6-axis stabilization, but for the best stability, use alongside a gimbal.
  • For best bullet time results, use a fishing line style string rather than a woven one to reduce camera rotation while you swing it. Insta360 recommends one revolution overhead per second.
  • Regardless of camera orientation, the Insta360 always knows where the nadirThe bottom of the sphere. is and orients the horizon correctly. However, image quality degrades closer to the stitch line.
  • You may want to rubber band the camera to your phone when live streaming or transferring footage as it can disconnect rather easily.
  • For best stitching results, use Insta360 Studio desktop software or third-party stitching software, like Kolor Autopano Video Pro or Mistika VR.
  • Although Insta360 makes a waterproof housing for the camera, it does not recommend shooting underwater, as the camera will not stitch the footage appropriately.
  • The Insta360 ONE app comes with fun social animation and live streaming features Instsa360 Air and Nano users are already used to.
