- 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 Insta360 ONE app comes with fun social animation and live streaming features Instsa360 Air and Nano users are already used to.
