How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

5.0 out of 5 starsI used 360 cameras a lot - hear me out!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021
I’ve used all types of 360 cameras and the ONEX2 is definitely becoming my favorite. What makes this different from the ONEX is that the ONEX2 is water proof, has a grippy casing, and is able to use the AI features. Compared to the ONE R, it has a more simplistic design which I prefer for a 360 camera. Also the 360 stitching is better because of the design, it won’t move or budge compared to the ONE R when using their selfie stick. The quality is awesome, when I compare to other brands nothing stands out from one another but that’s where the pricing and additional features come into play for this camera. It’s just too convenient. Quality can also drop depending where you post, social apps tend to lower quality a little, just a heads up if you see some videos and question the quality.

I saw a review about this not being waterproof which is totally false. They must’ve not close the coverings correctly or dived too deep. The box even comes with an instructions manual regarding the waterproofing.

AI features, these are fun things to try out, makes making content easy and gives you some creative direction!

The Battery life is way better than it’s older model. However I suggest taking shorter videos to not drain your battery all at once. This is what I do so I’ve never actually considered if the battery life was good or bad because it always was good. Also taking long videos can be a pain to edit.

The app is easy to use and you can make cool edits with it ALL FROM YOUR PHONE. Shameless plug but see some of my videos on IG @t4tien. Every 360 video I’ve edited has used their app on my phone!

Last, if you’re getting this camera you need to get the invisible selfie stick. It automatically stitches out, I assume you know that since you’re looking at 360 cameras but it’s a must have. ENJOY!!

1.0 out of 5 starsDoes not work out-of-the-box
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2021
So the camera is decent - but Insta360 has become a manipulative company similar to DJI and others. The camera will not work out-of-the-box; it requires "activation" - the sole purpose of which is to get you to install the spyware app on your phone and allow Insta360 to collect your personal information.

The Insta360 One X did not require activation.

I get that most people don't care and feel that the phone app adds features - but I care and I simply don't install apps on my phone.

Don't have a phone that the app works on? The camera will not work.
Don't want to install the app? The camera will not work.
Don't consent to the EULA in the app? The camera will not work.
Don't consent to Insta360 grabbing personal info? The camera will not work.

Welcome to the world where everything is spyware, is only temporarily licensed to you and can be turned off by the seller at any time.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Insta360 One X2 is incredible, BUT buy the lens guard!
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021
Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase
UPDATE 12/2021: Regarding the lens guard comment at the bottom and the Insta360 Care plan you can purchase - GET IT! I used it for the lens scratches and their service is great! It saved me a $220 repair. But I’ll definitely be using the lens guard as I don’t want to have to get it repaired again. And they were super fast sending me the details.

This review is for the Insta360 One X2 camera. The personal and professional possibilities with this thing are real. There are a lot of Tutorials on the app to create some cool looking stuff, but it takes some thought and creativity ahead of time and some of them don't work as well as they should. HOWEVER, the real beauty of this thing is the invisible selfie stick and the "VIEW FINDER" feature. The invisible selfie stick (I bought the 2 in 1 selfie stick and tripod which was a good move) works great. The camera stitches out the stick very well. The View Finder feature allows you to basically be a "live" camera man after the fact. You shoot the 360 video, then when in the app to edit, you move the phone around as if you're shooting a video, but you're recording your camera moves within the 360 video clips. You can pinch and zoom and if you play around with how you're holding the camera when filming, you can get some REALLY unique and cool shots that you can't get with any other camera. The one lens action cam setting is good, and I really like the dual multi view mode where it films the front camera and the back camera. Stabilization and horizon lock is insanely good.

WORDS OF WISDOM: ABSOLUTELY GET THE LENS GUARD! I did not and I regret it. Spend the extra $20. The lenses protrude (as 360 cams do) and if it hits the ground, it WILL scratch. It fell lightly on some rocks from 2 feet up and got a scratch that was bearable, but noticeable in video. I crashed on my bike and the lens hit the concrete and it's unusably scratched. Also pay for the Insta360 Care on their website. I did and I'm sending mine to get the lens repaired and then will promptly be putting on the lens guard.

If this thing would do something higher than 30fps in full 5.7k resolution, (like maybe 60 or 120), overall rating would probably be a 5 star.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Picture and bad stops recording
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2022
Style: Motorcycle KitVerified Purchase
The camera at the 5.2k stops recording after a certain time and battery drains faster. I changed it to record at 4k. Battery lasts longer and most of the time it records until the battery dies. It will last from 1hr to 1.5hrs. It is bad that the system stops recording and there is no way to tell if you do not hear it. Even if there is plenty of battery. Love the 360 feature dislike that it stops recording for no reason and it is had to tell if you do not have the camera in front and see the light. Not impressed with the windows software as the system crashes when trying to use the follow feature. Guess I may need a better computer or graphics card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good camera with lots of capabilities... With manual intervention
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2022
Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase
Initially, I found the outdoor video quality unimpressive. Clouds were blown out, the sky was washed out and colors were off and dull. After watching some usage videos, it was clear that in many cases, automatic settings do not produce good quality videos.

I found that for outdoor sunny/light cloud days, the following settings dramatically improved video quality.
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/1250 to 1/1600
White Balance: 5000

Very cloudy days,
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/800 to 1/1200
White Balance 6500 to 5000

App settings that improved video quality:
FlowState Stabilization: On
Chromatic Calibration: On
Export - Set to max resolution, highest bit rate allowed, and Remove Grain: On

After improving the video quality using manual settings, the large number of in-app editing options and the ability to get multiple shots using one camera make me quite happy with my purchase. I don't think it will replace my other action camera because it does some things better than the X2, but I suspect I'll often only bring the X2 because it does a lot of things good enough and a few things great.

4.0 out of 5 stars NOT waterproof
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2022
Style: Creator KitVerified Purchase
Watch out! This camera will NOT survive being submerged, even within 10m. Product says it’s water resistance up to 10 meters. I attempted to film some underwater shots, and eventually the camera stopped working. Found out that the battery compartment does not make a complete seal, so water leaked in. Thankfully the SD card was not damaged and I was able to keep the videos.

Besides this one major issue, everything else about the camera is very good. Wish it would record for longer than 30mins. Not able to do a set-and-forget Timelapse without the camera having to stop and start another video after 30mins. There’s about a 15 second delay between it stopping, loading and recording the next video.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Time 360 cam owner
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2022
Style: Creator KitVerified Purchase
As a first time 360 camera owner I still have a lot to learn but so far I am impressed. I only gave it 4 of 5 stars because I'm still learning. The image quality is superb and the stitching as well. I learned 360 still photography over a decade ago with a DSLR when it was an entirely manual process, having a camera of this quality that can do it instantly is... amazing quite frankly. The software takes a bit getting used to, I wish they would add the pre-packages "stories" you get on the mobile app to the PC app, I prefer working on the PC for post production. One nit-pick would be the selfie stick, the telescoping action requires tremendous strength to make it lock, which is a problem for my wife who has arthritic hands. I have another old generic selfie stick that works just fine but the one from Inst360 could use improvement. Too flimsy. Otherwise very happy so far and would definitely recommend it for first time 360 cam users.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too many problems!
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2022
Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase
I've had the camera for a month and a half and was enjoying it until it started giving me problems.

1. It began overheating in high 70-80 degree weather's. Not even doing long recording sessions.

2. Editing app is such a pain. It keeps disconnecting and I have to reset the camera evertime it does that. It's very annoying.

3. I really hope it's the memory cards that are the issue but just in case I'll say this; I run the sandisk extreme A2 V30's and already went through 4 cards because either they're corrupted or it forces my camera to shut off while recording.

I really have high hopes for this camera but if it continues to fail me. I may have to resort with go pro instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great camera, unstable android software
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021
Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase
This is an awesome camera for outdoor vlogging. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the software for the Android platform is quite unstable. You can use the pc version of the software, but it lacks a lot of the nice features available on the phone version.

4.0 out of 5 stars It works great. Good quality for the price.

Style: Creator Kit LiteVerified Purchase
I actually bought a gopro hero Maxx and it was horrible. The insta360 X2 is might and day difference. The colors and clarity are much better in the X2. Only thing I don't care for is the app and the software for viewing photos. Besides that the quality is great for the price and the size. Skip the Gopro.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1st time buyer
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2022
Style: Creator Kit LiteVerified Purchase
So I bought this camera to do 3rd person vids of my car/drone view. I am completely new to these things and am super excited. The quality of it seems well made and sturdy I got the basics down on how the functions work on the camera, will update when I get further into it!! I give a 3 and a half stars because the pricing of the camera "kits" are very distorted, make sure you look for the better deals !!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well once you you understand the somewhat obtuse “instruction manual”.
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021
Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase
Instructions are poorly written and hard to understand. Once I spent some time researching how to correctly operate and use the camera, things went great. There are still some weird glitches between the phone app and camera, but nothing than can’t be fixed by turning the camera off and on. Picture quality is good, but is a step below an iPhone 12 Max Pro. Video stabilization is better than GoPro. Lens protection is a must and I still have not found a good solution for carrying the camera around - third part hard cases are too big, and the supplied neoprene cover isn’t great (but works ok). Battery life is much better than GoPro products and unlike GoPro, the camera stays off when powered down. Touch screen is tiny and slow to respond, but once again, better than GoPro.
