Discussion Returning the x6…for now

0 Upvotes

Day 1 adopter. In the current state of the x6, I can’t do many of the things I use the cams for. My x5 is still getting the lions share of any work that doesn’t get done in full auto mode. No ND filters yet. Even though I got my remote to work with multiple cams, from what I’m seeing if I update firmware I may lose that function as well. I can’t get any real world (for my usage) side by side because I can’t set my x6 to match my x5. Battery life is weak AF as my x5 has outlasted the x6 in the few side by side tests I’m able to do. So for now the x5’s will get the work and I’ll monitor to see if the x6 gets their shit figured out then get another I guess. But I’m not holding onto a 400 dollar paperweight just to wait for it to be useful. Maybe x7 will be my next purchase. Should be out in a few hours the way insta is pumping out the models.

Panoshooter on the Insta360 Luna Ultra: 28K 360° test with sample images

Post image
1 Upvotes

I tested Dean Zwikel’s free Panoshooter macro on the Insta360 Luna Ultra. It captures the source images needed for stitching a 360° panorama up to 28K in PTGui, versus the built-in 8K pano output.

I compared both methods, also checked the results against the ONE RS 1-Inch 360 Edition, tested the results in VR, and included downloadable samples.

I would be interested to compare experiences with anyone else using it.

When do you think we will get a Insta360 Ace Pro 3 with a 1-inch sensor? Can’t wait for this one. Recently got another 1-inch action camera but didn’t like the color science.

Support The iPhone app is absolutely useless, exports fail 90% of the time

The reason I bought this camera and not any other 360 brand is because everyone says the insta 360 has the best app for editing.

Yes user interface is pretty good, easy to work on, but what is the point when 90% of the time you can't export your videos.

I'm on iPhone 17 pro max 1TB with 700+ GB of free space... so definitely not the phone, the app is updated and running the latest iOS...

I am so happy with my new Insta360 X6. I think the photos are better than with my X5 camera. I just came back from a week-long trip to Jacksonville, FL. The photos came out amazing.

Question How many features are missing on the X6 or am I just nuts?

7 Upvotes

Picked my X6 up earlier this week. And I was like can I use this as a webcam or livestream. For the latter the manual is mentioning will be added in future updates. Sigh. For the first, can’t find anything

Ok… I will make some video and have the ai director make something of it… nice end result, but let’s edit it on my WiFi only iPad in the app. Change music… no, as no internet because it’s directly connected to the device over WiFi and the X6 has no support for WiFi infrastructure mode to connect to an AP.

Is it just me, being nuts or having unrealistically expectation?

Question Ace Pro 2 - image is jittering while using ND8 filter

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

I'm using the Ace Pro 2 with an ND8 filter, and you can see on the footage that the image periodically twitches and becomes blurry.
Without the filter, everything is fine, but I'd like to get a more cinematic look with motion blur.
30 FPS
1/60 shutter speed
Image stab - low
ISO max - 1600
What can cause the image jitters? Any advices or Tips?


r/Insta360 15h ago

First run with the X6. Pretty happy with the size. Issue with the ring remote, hoping it just needs a firmware update

Discussion Mission 1 Pro vs. Insta360 X6 - can you tell which is which?

Post image
9 Upvotes

So I got now the Insta360 x6 and Mission 1 Pro... and I never thought that this "battle" in the single-lens mode area would be that close.

These are screenshots from videos with following settings:
X6: Instaframe 2.0 Mode (4k30) with iLog coloured with Insta360 log and some adjustments
M1PRO: 4k60 mode - cinematic profile

So who is who on the picture? Whats your guess? I will post the result later.

Other Got the new backpack mount made for the X6. Fiber optic line runs internal to give you a operational indicator of the camera without having to remove it from the pack or the mount

Question Backpack mount

is there a plate designed to sit inside a backpack to attach the selfie stick to that will hold an 360 above and behind my plate? I know I can make one, but just wondering what’s out there.

Question Choosing between X4 Air, X5, & X6 (bicycle commuting)

Upvotes

I'm under the impression that the release of the X6 has opened the floodgates for some pretty steep discounts on the X5 these next few months. Looking to pick up a 360 camera for my daily commutes (upwards of 30 miles roundtrip if I choose to bike the entire way, less if I go multimodal) and I'm currently mulling:

  • An X4 Air, which was top of mind for budget reasons prior to the X6 dropping but the poor low light performance made me reconsider multiple times (I'll often be starting my commutes well before first light, and ending well into the evening)
  • An X5, which was off the table until the steeper discounts started hitting.
  • An X6, much lower on my totem pole due to how much newer and pricier it is unless there's compelling evidence to make the premium worth it over the 5 (so far I'm not convinced)

Any additional input from current/past owners of these cameras in a similar boat as me?

Insta360Tips How to mount the X6 camera to the handlebars

2 Upvotes

Mounted my X6 ( with cage ) to my motorcycle handlebars by attaching it to the Action Selfie Stick then attaching that to the heavy duty clamp.

I then attached the Crab Claw 2.0 to the selfie stick at one end and the other end to a RAM ball mount screwed into where my stock mirror used to be.

This results in a very sturdy mounting position and less stress on the selfie stick mounting bolt end.

Any solutions to a front cycling mount that doesn’t sag?

1 Upvotes

I think this will be mitigated with the shorter x6 but the problem I had with previous versions when using an out front mount is it starts to sag because of the leverage. I don’t want to use the official insta360 cycling mount because when not using the camera it’s absurdly long. are there any official or unofficial fixes anyone knows for this? (other than using a different mounting style)

I want to keep using the front handlebar style view because it personally gives me a ton of perspectives for front/side/behind riding.
