tl;dr: Look for something with a big sensor like the Insta360 1 RS. Details... If you want to know a bit about cameras that might help pick something (assuming you might not be a camera nerd): the graininess in low light is because the sensor in the camera (the thing that literally captures the image) isn't getting enough light, so it does some signal processing to boost the dark image it does get to make a picture for you. Same idea as when you try to up the gain on a low quality audio signal and the noise boosts. The thing that controls how much light the camera gets it the aperture and the sensor - so, if you want high quality low light footage, you need a camera with a bigger aperture and a bigger sensor. Tough part - small action cameras have small sensors and small aperture (literally they're just physically smaller)... so they're always working without much signal in low light. Thus, even the good ones are going to be a bit grainy. iPhones have pretty good algorithms for boosting the low light signal, so they work better, but never as good as a full-size camera. I've got a Nikon D3400 - an older DSLR camera - and shooting video on it with a big aperture lens is miles better than any action camera I've seen. I've set it up on a tripod for booth footage before. Definitely more involved than using an action camera though. So I think it comes down to how professional you need this to be. Most action cameras are going to be better at recovering a decent picture from a low light signal, but it's always going to suffer a bit from garbage in - garbage out because the aperture and sensor are so small. Despite what their marketing says :)
r/DJs • Best Camera for DJ sets in low lighting? ->I have to suggest the 360 cams. Based on what you want it for. Its really the perfect tool to capture quick moments. Not having to frame the shot, being able to just put it on a tripod and let it run knowing it will capture everything is a huge factor. Imagine wanting to take a quick group shot or video. U don't even need to make sure everyone is in frame. Just press the shutter. Now if u want to do like a baby FPV or have your kid hold it then yeah the nano or go ultra If not 360 cam all the way. Insta360 specifically for the editing in the app. Reframing in post edit is not that difficult once you get the hang of it.

Hi op, one issue is you'll now no longer be waterproof. I use the DJI mic 2 internal recording inside my helmet to a GoPro 13. You can check the sound here. [action camera with DJI mic2 inside helmet no wires retains waterproofing](https://youtu.be/y7ENSoDiaUg?feature=shared) Use the mini as the second camera, the 11 black as your main. I have a 13 as main and either an action 4 or insta 360 as handlebar.
r/gopro • GoPro 11 mini for moto vlogging ->DJI Osmo Action 5, GoPro hero 11 or higher, or my personal favorite, an Insta360 One RS. The One RS is cool because it can do traditional action camera shots but also can do 360 footage if you get the right bundle.
r/gopro • Best Go Pro for the Money ->look at the Insta OneRS - pretty old now so you should get a good deal or find second hand. It has two lenses, one 360, the other 2d. Example here: [https://youtu.be/6u5SG5iJnQY?si=G\_cBMNKEKA1SQUaG](https://youtu.be/6u5SG5iJnQY?si=G_cBMNKEKA1SQUaG) \- make sure you have switched Youtube to highest quality setting! Other thing to consider is how to wear it when kite surfing. Helmet mount best betbut if you don't wear a helmet then this is a whole other thread for 360 camera positioning Lenses will scratch but i seem to remember Insta offering overlays - but may have dreamt that
r/Kiteboarding • Action Cameras ->I went with the RS One for the form factor. Quality wise, it's okay. It isn't cinema quality but it splices much more seamless than the GoPro 360. And it does have an interchangeable lens if you just want front facing. I haven't tried that lens yet, as I really like being able to catch my opening on vid. I've got it on a snag free mount from adrenaline workshop. I have a buddy using the x5 on a Mohawk mount. But something about the positioning of the two lens being pointed to the left/right causes a weird center merge effect of things right in front of you. If that makes any sense? Like...it makes your head/face look squished together. Like your eyeballs are touching lol I'm not a camera person so idk how to explain it. Some new stuff from dji and go pro is coming out so those could be good options too.
r/SkyDiving • Action Cam Advice ->Insta360 is the best we've used and the 360 has major benefits.
r/Karting • Action Camera Recommendations? ->I have the one rs, and I like it, but is getting quite old. Quality wise is steps behind the x3 and even more the x4/x5. DJI released this month the Osmo 360 in that format with much better quality, and the GoPro max 2 should be coming out very soon.
r/SkyDiving • Action Cam Advice ->I'm a Photographer who recently got into videos. I have to point out that the Insta 360 video quality is nowhere like the mirrorless cameras I've had, BUT, it's really about the spontaneous moment captured with it and not the quality that I'm impressed of. I've found footages of myself in the moments of serendipity that I know I will never achieve with any of my mirrorless camera unless somebody is following me around with it. I also tried the Osmo Pocket but I certainly love the convenience of the Insta 360 more because you can choose which frame, back, front, up or down you want to finally edit for posting. Really helpful the 360 view.
r/Insta360 • Should I buy insta 360 x5? ->Most gopros are prety nice underwater. If dont force 4k no overheating problem at all. I tried my insta360 one rs underwater, that is a nightmare. Why dont u borrow few different cameras a decide yourself?
r/gopro • View on Reddit →I echo the 360. Pricy but worth it as it catches everything around you if setup correctly
r/motorcycles • View on Reddit →I would pick the dji any day over the insta 360 for a primary camera. Although the insta 360 gives a very good variety of angles, there's not much of creative freedom that comes with it. Dji on the other hand, you can connect your mic easily for vlogging; it has better clarity, the overall quality is also much better. Accessories for the dji are priced fairly and the intsa 360 mounts are known to be fragile so I personally would stay away from those. If you already have a main camera, then go for the insta and try new angles for cinematic shots, but bear in mind, if you end up damaging the 360, there's almost no way of getting it repaired.
r/indianbikes • View on Reddit →Dji action 5 pro is miles ahead of rest, insta one is good for dark, otherwise...dji really is best. I bought one and its literally 3 hours of recording and they gave me 3 batteries with case for them :) Edit: its more than 3 hours at 1080p 30fps
r/motorcyclegear • View on Reddit →I recently purchased an older Insta360 action cam, the One RS Twin Edition. It's modular, and shoots both regular flat video and 360 degree video. At the time it offered more versatility than a GoPro. And I believe generally you get "more" for your money with Insta360. They've got free mobile and desktop software that is relatively easy to use, if at times a bit frustrating. My overall impression (not having used GoPro but having done enough research for my immediate needs) is that Insta360 is better for those don't care about a lot of professional options and settings etc. But GoPro seems to have superior functionality if you want better results and are willing to learn how to get them. That being said, as a professional, Insta360 is lacking in a lot of ways that I think a power user won't find acceptable. My next purchase will be GoPro.
r/gopro • View on Reddit →Ask me anything......proceeds to avoid every single legit question. Like, homie, have you ever visited this sub before coming here? The brand you are repping is almost despised in the 360 action cam world because of exactly what you're doing.....not replying. I'm gonna stick with my OneRS until yall get y'all's poop in a group and seriously step up the customer service. Legit not interested in anything yall are selling because the after sale care might as well be an ABC Chinese no name company on Amazon.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →A few adds. The X4 vs One RS 360, I have both, obviously the 1 inch is better in low light, and I think it has a slightly better video but I use the X4 now as it's lighter. Also, I got rid of all of my non 360 cameras long ago and absolutely love 360, even if the best on the market still has lots of flaws
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →Insta 360RS all the way. The one that has a similar form factor to the GoPro IMO
r/SkyDiving • View on Reddit →Finally seeing the weight! The Qoocam 3 Ultra seems really heavy compared to the older Qoocam 8K I have (245g) I hadnt realised they'd upped the weight so much. I use an Insta360 One RS on a chinmount when MTBing and have seen people using X models (I guess the added weight doesn't pull their helmets down) but I definitely feel the 245g of the Qoocam 8K is too much for a chin mount.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →I wouldn't say that. I have a 360 camera and I don't want a unicorn mount. I feel like that would get in the way so much, plus it looks ridiculous. Actually, nobody at my DZ has a unicorn mount on their 360 cam. Nothing wrong with the one rs and a mount from adrenaline workshop.
r/SkyDiving • View on Reddit →Yeah, who knows if GoPro will ever bring out an update to their 360 cam at this point. Their 360 is ancient af. My old Insta360 R (not even the RS) was already better than the GoPro 360, and even that model isn't anywhere near as good as the X3. Yet I still keep seeing YouTubers compare GoPro 360 footage to modern 360 cameras, and I honestly don't get why at this point.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →I'd suggest you to get the Action 4. Better vfm. Can get the action 5 spare batteries for better battery life (if needed). Insta 360 is doing different ball game. It's an awesome secondary camera but not a good primary one.
r/indianbikes • View on Reddit →All that said, the 1 RS isn't for everyone. If you want to just push a button and go, the others are good at that. The RS is a little finicky, but there's a lot of fun creative options with it
r/Dualsport • View on Reddit →Use your phone! Everything else is either expensive or not worth it especially in low light. Alot of DJs are using 360 cameras now as it can capture both audience reaction and your moves. The latest insta360 one is good in low-light but it's expensive. Maybe you can justify it with some of your other hobbies too.
r/DJs • View on Reddit →I was looking at that camera for a bit, eventually went with one of their 360 cameras (since a recent update, I've found the app incredibly unstable for viewing / editing such footage, but it was good before then) but I'm assuming when you say you just pop it out from one mount to another, that means you find the magnets strong enough for it to stay put? I always assumed magnets wouldn't be strong enough for mounting such things to bikes, hence e.g, MagSafe handlebar mounts not really being a thing.
r/ukbike • View on Reddit →For sure I ride daily but I don't even have a chin mount I use an insta360 with a pole mount. It's probably still better to have one of these than nothing at all is what I'm getting at.
r/motorcycles • View on Reddit →I have a One RS Twin edition. I was pretty disappointed on how videos with the 360 lens turned out after they were "flattened." I don't have a specific recommendation for you, but I would recommend going with something that shoots in 8K for the highest possible resolution after it's converted into a non-360 video.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →Personally I prefer my Insta360 RS One, which has a similar form factor and offers a wide angle lens like GoPro as well as a dual lens 360-degree option. I also prefer the DJI action camera over the GoPro. My main issue with GoPros is that intend to use them outdoors in a hot climate and the overheating problems with GoPros is a major issue for my usage.
r/gopro • View on Reddit →Ik zou als ik nu een nieuwe camera zou kopen gaan voor de action 5 met de dji mic. Werken perfect samen hooge kwaliteit audio en hoge kwaliteit beeld. Maar mijn insta360 one RS is nog steed goed genoeg!
r/motorfietsen • View on Reddit →Except for safari, GP13 is very good A good alternative could also be a 360 camera, especially for things like cage shark diving. I personally think Insta360 is better than GoPro for 3d cams
r/gopro • View on Reddit →There are a few options: Insta360 Twin RS and X5, plus Action 5 have been amazing for me. For car mounting I have tried a few things: Neewer 6" Suction mount CA013 + Neewer Magic Arm ST16 and any phone mount for a battery bank and you can record for hours. You will want to mount the action camera with a magic arm that has arri pins as those cannot become lose. The other regular magic arms with just a 1/4" thread they can become loose or spin out of position with vibration and other forces. I also recommend strapping in your mount with either rope or belt as an extra precaution. Suction cups can lose suction from heat buildup. If the camera is mounted externally and on a moving vehicle, you won't experience much overheating if any. I have had action cameras overheat inside my car though, but so far my Action 5 has yet to overheat and my X5 overheated after over an hour. At work, we use GoPro 11s and 12s and I cannot recommend a GoPro. They are great with video quality, but they overheat so quickly. At work I can't get more than 30 minutes out of them before I see the warning. Do no recommend GoPro, unless you do something like surfing or skiing where it will have better luck with cooling. I do not have an Osmo Mobile 3 so I cannot comment on that, but note that its not weather sealed, so be careful mounting it externally, even on clear skies. Cold weather and rapid cooling from air can cause condensation to build up. I've had it build up on my X5 and Twin RS when mounted externally, but they are weather sealed, so no problems. Lastly, I do recommend NDs. Get a kit with 8, 32, 64, and 128 if you can. The ND2 and 4 are hardly dark enough to make a meaningful change.
r/dji • View on Reddit →Personally I just picked up the One RS Twin and I think it's probably the best value for what you get: a 360 lens AND an action cam lens. It's also in that familiar action cam shape too so you can get like cages and other accessories for it while still keeping the actual size pretty small.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →360 cam for sure. U can use AI tools provided in the app to keep u in frame with a click of a button. With the 360 cam, U do not have to worry if u are in frame or not. Audio quality is good too.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →In my defense I do photography and videography professionally as well as create content for YouTube for myself 😂 I would never mount the DJI to my chest the way I mount the One RS. Overall I don't love the one RS, wish u had gotten the Action 4 but it was out of stock and the idea of the modular 360 was interesting but I never use it
r/osmopocket • View on Reddit →no, this is bad advice. The RS and the RS1 inch Leica both perform worse in low light than the current generation that have the pure video night modes. I know because I own the RS, the RSOne, the Ace Pro 2 and the X5. It is a software trick on the new cameras that make them look so good.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →One RS Twin is a great camera. You can use it with the regular non-360 lens or go full 360. I had it for about a year and loved it before I sold it and got an Ace Pro and X3.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →I've got way more than 2😂. Sony A7iv for professional work and photography X100v and an EDC photography camera Pocket 3 for vlogging Insta 360 one RS for POV angle A few backup cameras/ B-cams A few film cameras. Everyone's use case is different so find the gear that works for you.
r/osmopocket • View on Reddit →You want an insta360 camera for snowboarding. IMO, it's best to have the 360 video and be able to create clips from that. Those cameras are very durable and have available lens covers in case you're really falling a lot. You can even use a selfie stick and get a drone like video.
r/snowboarding • View on Reddit →I have to suggest the 360 cams. Based on what you want it for. Its really the perfect tool to capture quick moments. Not having to frame the shot, being able to just put it on a tripod and let it run knowing it will capture everything is a huge factor. Imagine wanting to take a quick group shot or video.

r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →Insta360 One-RS with the dual lenses you can swap out
r/SkyDiving • View on Reddit →I just mean no upgrades/new cameras from them until they get it together. I got the OneRS because it's exactly what I wanted(360 and regular), I had no clue about all their hot mess stuff until after I already got into the brand. But they get no more of my money until they stop behaving like a fly by night Amazon company.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →I travel solo and take a lot of videos and photos. I use to take my Fuji X-Pro 3 and two fixed lens, but it just got to be too heavy. Now I use the DJI Pocket 3 and a Neo Drone. I also have an Insta 360, but do not use it as much as the pocket 3. \- DJI Pocket 3 \- DJI Neo Drone \- Insta 360 (selfie-stick / tripod) It all packs in a small dry sack and I pack it in my 32L bag with no problem. Just did a 3-month trip with them - worked very well.
r/onebag • View on Reddit →I have a bunch, GoPros all the way back to the original, ace pro, insta 360 1 RS (2 of these, they are really good), osmo action 4 and 5. The 1 RS is my favorite but the ace pro is more than enough for most people. Honestly, a GoPro 7 black is more than enough for most people. That's the iteration that got image stabilization that was actually useful. Don't sweat the specifics. Just get whatever is in stock near you and go ride. I use mine for all kinds of shit, but the one that lives on my helmet is a GoPro 10.
r/Dualsport • View on Reddit →If you can find one, Get a One RS. It has the largest sensor (one inch I believe) out of the various models (which you need for low-light conditions.) Unfortunately it was discontinued, but it would thrive for what you need.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →Coming from a gopro HD hero 1 (2010-2011) I was in the market for a 360 camera. Insta one rs was the only one that you could assemble as a 360 or a standard 4k camera, so I've gone with it. But even if I was coming from an ancient camera, there were a lot of things that I preferred the gopro way.. If there was a modular camera from gopro I would have gone with them no doubt.
r/Insta360 • View on Reddit →No doubt, but as i'm using for CRW, i really don't want long protruding snag happy form factor. So the form factor works inside a Adrenaline workshop mount.
r/SkyDiving • View on Reddit →Love the rs one. Its a good form factor and quality is acceptable. Obviously would have liked it to be upgraded more but that doesnt look like its on the cards from Insta360
r/SkyDiving • View on Reddit →If u want to vlog n need a good low light performances than go for Action 5 pro. DJI wireless mic system can be easily paired with Action 5. Please don't go for any GoPro. DJI n Insta360 r far ahead of it interms of technology n features. If u want versatility than go for Insta 360. Also wait for few days. Amazon freedom sale will be coming. U can get better deals on both if cameras.
r/indianbikes • View on Reddit →Too bad GoPro still has the best 360 camera in terms of lightweight/small package. Insta360 sucks if you try to mount it under the visor on a helmet, the weight is way too far out front where the GoPro feels a lot more balanced. I've been waiting for something better to come out that's more similar to a GoPro mini size but 360 camera so you can actually get the whole handlebars in the shot when it's helmet mounted
r/MTB • View on Reddit →Insta360 or DJI action cam. The current crop of go pro cameras need to have the heavy duty (white) batteries and often will shut off due to the battery vibrating and the camera thinking it is overheating. My favorite for all around view is insta360 rs one with 360 module. It's discontinued, but great quality and size. The DJI action is great and usually on sale. For 4k the insta360 rs pro. PS, you don't need to respond to this comment and tell me your go pro works fine. I own 3-12 blacks, 6-11 blacks, a few 10s and I'm almost rid of all my 9s finally. I do video coaching and use them extensively, all run dev firmware.... I own 4 of the rs ones, 2 rs pros, 3-action 4s, an action 5 and 2 aim smartycam 3 units.
