ONE RS 4K Edition – Waterproof 4K 60fps Action Camera with FlowSate Stabilization, 48MP Photo, Active HDR, AI Editing

I've never had a higher-end camera like this, so my experience with such things at this price level (mid 200's) is limited to this one camera. My previous cameras were all the cheapie 40 and under stuff. So, I have no comparison data to provide vs gopro, dji, etc... . Setup: This was a little fiddly. You have to connect your cell phone to the camera to get it to 'register' or unlock or whatever it had to do. This involves installing an app, then configuring your phone's WiFi to find the -camera's- WiFi sub-net it uses in order to establish essentially a tiny VPN between your phone and the camera. Once that gets sorted out, the camera will communicate with the phone over this network to do updates and whatever activation/registration it needs to do. This took a little doing... there's some timing issues at play here such that if you don't get your phone connx'd to the cam wi-fi in a timely manner, it times-out and you have to start over. If you're not real familiar with how to tell your phone to connect to a specific WiFi network by name, research how to do that first. The camera directions can only assume you know this (b/c it doesn't know what phone you have/OS-level/updates/etc), so it doesn't go into great detail on how this is done for any given phone. Once that got sorted out, it seemed to work fine. I got the camera activated/setup, and onto using it. Using the camera: Its pretty intuitive to use the camera. The back has a small touchscreen that you use to drill around in menus and settings. It takes a little poking around to find stuff, but once you know where various settings are, you can go back to them easily enough. I haven't messed with many camera settings per-se... but it seems to have the gamut like exposure, F-stops, white-balance, whatever.. camera-nerd stuff. I put a 512G card in it of the exact type the manual calls for. With a full battery, and resolution set to something like 2K, it shows perhaps 2hrs+ of record time. The battery won't last that long, but just saying that the camera does this calc to give you a theoretical max-recording-time value from what I can tell. At that point, it is a simple operation of pressing the 'record' button (red-ring) and letting the camera do its thing. It beeps when it has to create a new file while recording, so expect that and don't think (like I did) that the camera just had some problem. Watch for the blinking red light (which shows on the back display as well as the front of camera body) to know it is in 'recording' mode. This brings up my main gripe: the switch-over time to a new file seems excessive... its like 3 seconds. Again, I have no idea what other cameras do.. but there's this 3-sec gap between videos that are recorded consecutively. This means you'll lose that 'action' when this happens. I'm not making movies, nothing is going to get published on youtube... I use the camera to record dirtbike riding just so I can critique my own riding. However, if I was making stuff for 'consumption', this little issue would irritate me a lot more than it does now. There might be a way to trim this down in some setting, but I haven't stumbled across it yet. If someone knows, feel free to reply to this and chime in with tips! Audio quality: Ehhh.. its good, not great. Some of my cheapie 40 dollar units had arguably better audio. In my case, the primary issue is the wind-noise filter. I have to have that on while riding otherwise it picks up just this roar of wind. So, having the wind-filter on really attenuates the audio. Its not 'nearly silent' by any stretch, but it is noticeably 'turned down'. My ride-time voiceovers are largely inaudible unless I make an effort to speak loudly. The camera is chin-mounted on my helmet, so it's right in front of my mouth where you'd think it would have no issues picking up my voice. The sound you get is clean though... I don't notice a lot of artifacting, so to speak. Video/stabilization quality: For me, again as a 1st-time user of such a camera system... this thing looks amazing. Deep saturation in colors... great detail! The stabilization, whatever the default settings are, is plenty good for me. It isn't overly-stabilized such that it looks like a drone is flying along on a flat trajectory... which, that sort of footage (to me) tends to minimize the 'action' aspect of an 'action camera'. I want to see 'some' camera-bob and so on to know "ok, yeah, this part of this trail is real bumpy", so to speak. To me, watching the videos makes me feel like I'm right there riding the trail. If you think of it like how a bird flies... its head stays relatively stationary in space, but its body rolls up/down with each wing beat. Now, if you had a camera that could see the wings, you'd see them moving around a fair bit, but the overall 'view forward' is pretty stable. Elevation changes are noticeable, but feel natural... i.e, as soon as an elevation change happens, the camera reflects it... it doesn't 'smooth it away' and present this odd transition-phase with a slow panning operation between elevations. Hard to express, I guess.. you have to see it. I am sure some folks hate any camera movement in their stabilized videos. To each their own, there are probably use-cases where you want that ultra stable performance that dampens out all movement/action. I can just report that what I see with this camera's stabilization seems reasonable and realistic. Maybe folks that get motion sick easily want that ultra-stable smoothing? Recording duration: I've recorded video from start to 'battery expired' many times now, and with the stock battery and my video settings (again, like 2K or whatever that comes out to, not 4K), I easily get an hour + 20 or so minutes. No overheating, no interruptions (other than the 3s file swapover time). I had read that battery life was really good on this camera, and that was the primary reason I got it. I did not want to get a camera that could only record 30min before killing the battery. The battery on this camera seems pretty substantial, but its easy to change and 'locks-on' to the camera body. Form Factor: This is not a 'small' camera like some of the cube-shaped stuff I've seen out there. I don't think its terribly much bigger than its primary competition though. If an ultra-small camera is your main goal, keep shopping. Camera Mount/Shell: I think this mounting system is a positive, but I have read opinions that some folks don't like such a system. To me, the primary benefit is that it is super-easy to 'dismount' the camera.. just pop open the carrier-shell and slide the camera out... vs having to unscrew a mount and potentially upset your 'aiming' of the camera. I did have one instance where the little 'door' popped open on a ride, I didn't notice it right away, but the camera stayed put until I did notice and was able to close the door. The camera fit in the shell is slightly snug, so I figure that is on purpose in case that door opens up. Final thought: I waited a long time to buy a 'better' camera, and suffered with some $40 cheapies for a while... with zero stabilization and 'meh' resolution. I can gladly say that this camera was well worth the purchase. I get way more utility out of re-watching my videos to spot mistakes b/c I can actually see what's going on vs a jarring mish-mash of colors as soon as the trail gets 'interesting'. Closing: I knew that Insta360 was going to phase-out this particular camera before I bought it b/c they had a new one to launch. That's fine by me, that's why I waited... I wanted to see the platform mature as much as it could, see what the support looks like (it looks good.. I got very recent updates to firmware immediately). I noticed that they still offer great support for the camera systems that came before this one too. So, what I wanted was to get a 'pretty good' camera at a 'close-out' price. That's what I got.

I have been wanting to get an action camera for a long time. I ride motorcycle and wanted to record my rides. I did a ton of research on GoPro and realized that they had issues that have been going on for generations. I did a lot of research on Insta360 and the one RS. I started watching YouTube videos on the camera and the quality is just as good if not better than the GoPro. When I ordered the camera it came well packaged as expected for this type of device. I started recording with it that night and was amazed by the quality. Both the 4k and 1080p quality is amazing. The stabilizing capability is great. There is little to no vibration in the video at all. Definitely a great buy. I am looking to get another one with the 360 module.

I bought and returned a Gopro hero 11 last month with the certified external mic adapter (which was very expensive for what it is) as well as an aluminum case to prevent it from overheating. The adapter was either defective or just plain junk and I was forced to use the microphone of the gopro itself because it would not register the external microphone, also the gopro had no setting for 2.7k (only 5.3k and 4k which get file heavy FAST, so I used 1080p it does have 120fps tho but I only need 60fps) this camera on the other hand + Records in 4k/60 as well as 2.7k/60 and 1080p/60 with similar quality, I believe the gopro may still be better at this but the difference for me is minimal. + overheat is less of an issue with this camera so I did not need to buy an aluminum case, and it came with a case that claims it will help dissipate heat + sold their mic adapter for 20 usd (30 usd cheaper than gopro) and it WORKS without any issue with standard 3.5mm cords + app allows for a multitude of editing features on the fly without paying for any subscription service I only have 2 negatives to say about the camera so far - the touchscreen is tiny, and I MEAN that, I have quite small hands and its hard even for me to operate the camera itself let alone see screen preview and set up a shot properly - the app that must be installed to use the camera (gopro had this too sadly) is very complex and will be a learning curve for most users, but this is not all that much of a problem for me as it provides a lot of features

i purchased this - but when i saw only ONE LENS (as opposed to the two required for 360° video), i sent it back 10 minutes after opening the box. Fortunately Amazon graciously refunded my money with its typical ease & efficiency. To the merchant i must ask, WHY label something as "360" - knowing full & well it will not film in 360?! If you want to film in 360 - then avoid this "4K Edition". If you want to film in 360 and you like this "modular" setup (with the red battery at the bottom), - then look for the word "TWIN" in the title. If you want to film in 360 - then you should go and buy the "Insta360 ONE RS *TWIN* Edition" package which has BOTH the 'Action lens', AS WELL AS the '360° lens' (not unreasonable, but about $ 90 more expensive for that 360° lens). So - since i was willing to pay that extra $ 90, i then noticed the next sleeker upgrade (the insta360 X3) with the larger screen & larger buttons (from the same company) is just $ 25 more than that. So i paid extra to upgrade to the fancier X3. What if you want to buy this ONE RS camera with ONLY the 360° lens but you don't want the "Action Lens"? So far as i can tell - such package does not (yet) exist. Either way - you gotta buy the basic Action Lens too. All that said - in the short time i had it - the product appears to be made of excellent materials and it was packaged very well - very obviously new & unused. Hope this helps. So overall - GOOD PRODUCT! Just be careful with the ol' fine print. ;-)

£271 at time of review Insta360 ONE RS 4K I was going to purchase the complete "Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch Leica 360" for £812, but instead went for the upgrade at £660 then purchased this "Insta360 ONE RS 4K Edition Get-Set Kit" for £271, which cost £119 more than the stand alone “Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch Leica 360”, but this meant I got the 4K lens, mounting case, battery pack, selfie stick plus 64G SD card. If you’re interested in 360 upgrade check it here… Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch Leica 360 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B59JV9VP I’ve used the camera mostly with the large 1 inch sensor 360 lens, but this weekend I finally got to take it out for a bike ride in it’s action camera set up. I recorded 4 x 30 min clips whilst on a bike ride using the 4K camera with the landscape battery pack and I didn’t have any issues, so whether this is down to the fast micro SD card I’m using, or the latest firmware update I don’t know, but I have had NO OVER HEATING ISSUES (unlike some other users). Also worth noting whilst filming I was using the camera standalone, it was not connected to my mobile phone. I’ve not owned and action camera before so can’t compare it to a go pro etc, but as an add on to my 360º set up and the flexibility the RS system it was a non brainer for me. It’s not perfect though, the SD card & USB-C cover is a piece of rubber that will undoubtedly get lost at some point (plus is needs to be removed anyway if you use this with the vertical 1 inch 360 module, so that’s not a great bit of design, plus when you remove the lens or go from the twin pack the connections on the bottom of the lens & battery modules are left exposed! A major oversight, highly recommend you get these, only cost a tenner and worth every penny! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08688P2VF All in all I’m very happy with this set up and love the flexibility of the Insta 360 RS system Hope my review was helpful

Bastante tiempo con el producto es muy funcional, la duración de batería es muy buena y la calidad de la imagen no se diga, adicional la app es muy intuitiva y puedes crear demasiado contenido volvería a comprar

The Insta360 ONE RS 4K Edition is hands down one of the most impressive and flexible action cameras I’ve used. The modular design is genius – being able to switch out the lens or upgrade the core in the future makes this a smart long-term investment. The 4K footage is crisp and vibrant, and the FlowState stabilization is next level – my shots look super smooth even without a gimbal. The audio is surprisingly good for an action cam, and the companion app is intuitive, offering tons of editing tools and features (like auto-tracking and reframing) that make content creation easy and fun. It’s compact, rugged, and packed with features that make it perfect for everything from travel and sports to everyday vlogging. If you’re looking for a powerful, future-ready action cam with top-tier stabilization and image quality, this is it. Highly recommended!

La recomiendo por precio/calidad. Estoy contento con la calidad y precio del producto. La calidad de grabación es muy muy aceptable. El sonido ya es otra cosa, mejorable diría. La batería es aceptable con una duración de 1hora y 5min/10min. Podemos comprar otra batería aparte si queremos mas duración. Me gusta el gran angular que tiene la cámara. Esta genial que se le puedan cambiar piezas aunque eso tambien tiene sus contras por ejemplo - una pantalla muy pequeña.

複数のアクションカムを使ってきましたが、本製品の手ぶれ補正を上回る製品はなかなか無いです。 ・クラッシュカムという訳では無いですが、バイク動画やサバゲー動画など破損しやすい環境でもモジュール型なので壊れた部分を交換すれば良いと言うのは助かります。 ・時速にすると300km近いBB弾が撮影出来ていたり、高速で走るバイクや景色も綺麗に撮れている事には感動しました。 ・特にサバゲーではレンズの保護をしたいので、私はポリカーボネートの板を買ってきてサイズが合う様に切り出したものを養生テープで貼り付けています。 ・音声も綺麗に撮れて満足度が高いです。 ・結構本体が熱くなるのとバッテリー消費が激しいので、基本モバイルバッテリーに繋ぎっぱなしで使用しています。 ・SDカードの蓋を紛失しやすいので、アフターパーツがあると助かるなぁと考えています(私は紛失してしまったのでガムテープで蓋をしています…)
