Insta360-GO 2,ONE X2,R,X 17+

 This camera is amazing! I started cycling last year and always try to take pictures and videos with my phone which is terrible. Its so hard to point in the right direction and get a good video while still riding. Well with this camera I can either mount it or still hold it in any direction and it doesnt matter. The footage that I get is amazing quality and I can choose any angle I want. Also the hyperlapse and different editing options are so cool. I added a video when I was descending from Red Rocks in CO. I was just holding the camera in my hand. Its so small and fits easily in my back jersey pocket so now I get a lot of videos and pics that I never would get before. Everyone that I show the videos to is impressed and asks how I did it. Seriously so cool...the only bad thing is that I know I will buy every new version that comes out now...  ‌   ‌‍ ‍

I have used various 360 cameras and Pps over the years and Insta360 app is by far the best. Inutive and very easy to use. I have two problems with. The first being that I have original One X which they have locked out of some special features. There are minor differences between the One X, R and One X II major reason why haven't upgraded. Instead they have decided to limit functions in the app for my camera the same (to be clear these features were present for the One X to be pulled later which kind of confirms that it is not a hardware limitation.
The next issue is soul crushing and makes no sense. When using video I can't make stay on 5K. Anytime I stop using the app it switches back to 4K. This not how it functions when I use the camera without the app. I like to reframe which works better with 5K and never or rarely want 4K. So frustrating. I can't tell you how many times I have stopped a video and start again only to realize I hadn't reset back to 5K. I'm guessing that this is a weird hardware issue when connected through WiFi but I don't care if it drains the batter more, just allow for the default setting be changed. I have looked for one and have not been able to find it yet.

Rule number 1 of engineering is don’t fix what isn’t broken. The One X could use the One R app and its many software advantages just fine, now you restrict the best features to One R users only and give canned responses that it’s due to incompatibility with the One X. Be honest, this was a Steve Jobs power move to try to sell One R’s and everyone sees right through it. Aside from the outrageous ONEX lockout from shot lab, you are forcing the One R’s dynamic stitching to be on with no option to turn off. This feature is nice but prone to stitching errors on the one X and should be able to be turned off. We lost the ability to toggle audio improvements on or off, and we lost the ability to turn chromatic calibration on, which in my experience should always be on because it worked flawlessly. Do the right thing and give us a true power app that gives everyone all the features that are truly compatible which is most of them. Aside from the complaints, it is nice to have the superior keyframable FOV and no download editing available with the proper ONEX stitching profiles (now for waterproof cases!), aside from the fact that dynamic stitching doesn’t work right and can’t be turned off.
