That new firmware fixes a major problem when carrying the camera in its soft case.
Insta 360 one x review update#
In addition to quickly addressing our report about the iPhone XS problem, the company is already rolling out a firmware update that will be there when you buy a new ONE X.

Fortunately, Insta360 does have a track record in that regard. It also needs to be updated frequently to adapt to the needs and requests of users. Since the ONE X's magic is part hardware, part software, it needs more than just accessories to carry it through any task and any situation. It does have a micro USB port if you want to do it old school. That wireless connection can be used to preview and control shots on the camera before they are taken as well as transferring the footage from camera to phone afterward.

The ONE X uses an AirDrop-like system for connecting to a mobile device, using Bluetooth for the initial pairing and Wi-Fi for actually transferring data. That's pretty much necessary since it no longer physically connects to an iPhone. One of the biggest upgrades that the ONE X has over last year's model is the wireless connection. Insta360 has since then rolled out a firmware update for the camera itself and a beta version of the iOS app. During our initial tests, the ONE X didn't work with the new iPhone XS and XS Max. The mobile app provides "next level awesome" editing control. Just shoot and edit later, framing the areas of focus you want. You can even edit on the fly if you so wish but you also no longer have to about setting up the perfect shot. But despite the almost overwhelming number of things you can do and effects you can apply, the post-editing experience is still easy, simple, and a joy to use. Much of the magic happens and is made on the accompanying mobile app for iOS and Android. Of course, all of these can't be done on the camera itself. It's like making your own documentary, with you in control of everything. You can speed walking scenes like a timelapse then prolong dramatic parts with slow-mo. While Bullet Time only lets you create a slow-mo clip revolving around you, TimeShift lets you adjust the speed of any part of a clip any which way you like. Quoting Vincent again, the invisible stick is just "magical!" And, yes, you can still do Bullet Time, this time in glorious 3K. Using Insta360's customized 10-foot selfie stick, you can create videos and shoot photos that look like they were taken by a drone, with no evidence of the monopod in sight. Remember Bullet Time, the feature where you swing the ONE around in a circle around and you then have the string or selfie stick magically erased? It's back and better than ever before.

The Insta360 ONE X has a bag full of magic tricks that not only make capturing 360-degree content easy, it also makes them fun. We'll add those videos here once the embargoes for those lift. He has used in a ton of in-car drive experiences. Our very own Vincent Nguyen describes the ONE X's stabilization as "just out of this world." But you don't just have to take his word for it. That is FlowState, a stabilizer alogrithm that takes into account movement in all direction, courtesy of that gyro, to achieve something that is usually only possible through post-processing.

While the ONE X inherits the 6-axis gyro from last year's ONE, it also inherits a new feature from this year's professional Insta360 Pro 2. Fortunately, the ONE X fixes that as you can see below.

If one side had bright light, like the outside of a car, and the interior is less lit, you would see very visible lines at the seams. When we tested the Insta360 ONE last year, we were quite disappointed with the way it stitched images that were taken under different lighting conditions. While we can't always predict, much less control outdoor lighting, the ONE X's HDR modes, available for both stills and video, try to fill in the gaps.Īnd here's where we see the ONE X's first marked improvement. The perfect shot requires other settings to be just right. Of course, it isn't just about megapixels. There's also 4K support at 50 and 30 fps as well as 3K shooting at a fast 100 fps. By the numbers, that means Insta360's latest 360-degree camera can capture 5.7K video, capped at 30 fps. This year's ONE X gets two 18 megapixel sensors, one on each side, with an F2.0 200-degree wide-angle lens.

The other is that iOS and Android are now on equal footing, at least in theory. One is that you no longer need to hold your iPhone in a ridiculous way while using the ONE X. All data transfer happens either wirelessly or through a micro USB cable. But unlike the ONE, the ONE X doesn't have a plug to connect it to an iPhone. If not for the bulging camera lenses on both sides of the device, one might mistake it for some odd power bank. Like the Insta360 ONE before it, the ONE X's design doesn't call attention to itself.
