Insta360 One X review

The first time I used the One X I was totally sold on this promise of unique shots with little setup, but after only using it twice, I found myself not super interested in continuing to use it. Insta360 has made 360 photo and video more accessible by not putting the focus on 360 degree output, but for me, there are still too many steps for a finished video I don’t necessarily know what to do with.

The invisible selfie stick effect combined with the super high resolution video that the Insta360 ONE X creates is critical to being able to create my professional level videos. The Insta360 ONE X is now one of the most important pieces of gear in my film-making arsenal. I would recommend it without hesitation.

The Insta360 One X has some impressive qualities, mainly in its wealth of shooting modes and its user friendliness, plus its pocketable dimensions – here’s a camera you can take pretty much anywhere on your adventures, where it’ll be able to capture some impressive footage that can be immediately shared via its app.

Great image quality, thoughtful design, and a fantastic and feature-filled app make the One X the best all-around 360 camera.

With modes like bullet time and its excellent image stabilisation, plus the ability to use its 360-degree videos purely as the starting point for focussed non-360 degree results, it’s a fantastic (and cheaper) alternative to a GoPro Fusion.

Consumers looking for great quality 360 photos and video in a pocket-friendly form should get the Insta360 OneX. Action-sports junkies may prefer the more compact — but more expensive — Rylo 360 ($499), which has a GoPro-like shape and  image stabilization. But for most, the Insta360 OneX will suit the best.

We're on board with the idea of 360-degree cameras, both outputting in VR-friendly 360-degree formats, and as a future replacement for Action cams like the GoPro. For people who have the time to post process video, these things open up a range of camera angles you'd need several GoPros to capture. We're impressed enough with the One X's camera and video quality, particularly in comparison to the cheaper Air model. 

Less

Insta360 has improved on its previous design and added some serious brains for a camera that anyone will enjoy using for photo or video.

Less

After a series of interesting, if not high-performing, 360 cameras, Insta360 has knocked it out of the park with the One X. Finally matching some excellent hardware with their excellent software, the One X is one of the best 360 cameras you can buy.

Less

360 cameras are a luxury, but if you travel semi-frequently, want to explore other angles and ideas in your photography, or simply like taking photos and can splurge on the cool factor, the One X is one of the best all-around options in this slightly high-end personal 360 camera market.
