It's like saying that no one has the opportunity to think of Dajiang, that panoramic cameras will think of Insta360, and that when talking about modular cameras, everyone may think of Insta360 ONE R released in early January 2020. The selling points of the latter are modularity and the Leica co branded camera module with one inch bottom. Later, Action 2 of Dajiang also used a similar idea to disassemble the sports camera into different modules.
On March 24, two years later, Insta360 finally released its successor product, Insta360 ONE RS. In a nutshell, the host chip is upgraded, 4K60 frames of anti shake video can be straight out, WiFi speed is doubled, one microphone is added, and the battery is increased by 21%. Along with the launch, there are new 4K wide-angle enhancement lens, 4800W 1/2 inch sensor, 6K widescreen and sports HDR mode.
After all, it is a modular camera. New and old hosts, lenses and battery modules are all universal. However, the old host will not have the OTA update of new 4K lenses until the second quarter.
As a resident of No. 1 Shenzhen Bay, due to the epidemic situation, there is no opportunity for the sun beach, tourist attractions, wedding ceremonies and dinner parties that are highly related to sports cameras. So this time, we mainly talk about experience, comparison of absolute picture quality, and showing the way, splashing cold water and digging holes for users interested in similar products.

Appearance and unpacking
During the unpacking process of Insta360 ONE RS, various novel settings will make you constantly exclaim "This is OK?", and then you will laugh while unpacking.
Our [4K enhancement+panoramic lens version] has four main modules and a stack of accessories as soon as the box is opened. All interface settings and assembly methods are the same as those of ONE R. They can be installed intuitively without instructions. Before you press the shutter for the first time, it can make you feel that it is a fun device. Who can refuse a camera like a building block?

VLOG mode of screen flip ↑
Combined with 360 degree panoramic lens ↑
Then came the question, How do you let others know that you are using the latest and top ONE RS instead of the previous generation ONE R?
Good Question！
You just need to point the red marker on the left side of the lens at him, like shaking the wine in a goblet, so that the lens, which is darker and brighter, can shake slightly in the sun. Then, inadvertently, put your finger next to the newly added microphone on the front of the fuselage.
If the other person still doesn't care about you, take out a new protective shell, show the front translucent heat sink, gently press the pop-up snap, and the side frame of the protective shell will give a clear "clack" to wake up all innocent passers-by who are sleeping.
4K Enhanced Lens Quality
After all, it is the camera. Of course, the most important thing is the absolute picture quality of the new CMOS. The extreme picture quality of the video is close to the normal photography mode. Let's first look at the photos:
Comparison of three photographing modes 1
Comparison of three photographing modes 1, central magnification
Comparison of three photographing modes, lighting scene
Comparison of three photographing modes, lighting scene, central magnification
Comparison of three photographing modes, weak light scene
Comparison of three photographing modes, weak light scene, central magnification
This 4800W 1/2 inch CMOS is probably an old friend IMX586, and Xiaomi 11 Ultra vivo X60/X70 Pro+、 The super wide angle of one plus 8 Pro is the same level. The disadvantage is that the F2.4 aperture is smaller, and the advantage is that the equivalent 16mm lens quality and power consumption conditions are definitely better than mobile phones.
Insta360 ONE RS also provides Pureshot (shooting RAW files, post processing by mobile phone or computer) HDR、 Several photographing modes such as night view mode. The HDR mode defaults to shooting 3 stacks in a row (6 or 9 stacks can be selected manually), while the night view mode is an exaggerated 10 stacks that cannot be changed. The former takes 3 or 4 seconds, while the latter takes 10 seconds and can be cut to a certain extent. But the most amazing thing is that it can even maintain a certain percentage of pieces in hand.
From the actual effect, the picture quality of the ordinary mode is really a bit ordinary, and the night scene mode has a strong ability to suppress highlights, but it is really a test for the holder (mainly the test of patience), and HDR mode is sufficient for most scenes. If highlight suppression is not required, RAW format in the early stage and Pureshot in the later stage are sufficient.
Field of view contrast ↑, although Insta360 ONE RS is "only" equivalent to 16mm, the actual field of view is one circle larger than the largest "12mm" ultra wide angle (128 degree field of view) of the flagship Xiaomi 11 Ultra on sale, and the 16mm ultra wide angle of ordinary mobile phones is even more incomparable.
Daytime high light ratio scene ↑
Enlarge the center of the scene with large light ratio ↑
Although Insta360 ONE RS has a large wide-angle, its ultimate discrimination is at least one gear stronger than the 800W tactical super wide-angle on mobile phones.

The image quality of Insta360 ONE RS video is close to the ultra wide angle of the domestic flagship, and the detail discrimination is higher than expected. The 800W ultra wide angle video of ordinary mobile phones is more than enough, but the computing power is limited, The highlight suppression of the video is weak, the skin color of the characters is restored to magenta, and the color science needs to be improved 。
The new sports HDR video has a dual frame stack, which is light and conservative in light measurement, Try to keep highlight details, dark parts are easy to die . The default mode for ordinary videos is the bright mode. If the saturation and contrast are pushed too high, the dark details will be affected. It is recommended to manually change to the standard or log mode.
In terms of anti shake effect, there is no need to mention it. Insta360's FlowState anti shake has been released for 4 years, as long as If the light is enough, even Parkinson can cut it back.
In terms of radio, although there is an additional front microphone, it is still Don't expect too much from the radio of the sports camera , the sound is smaller, and the sound of wind noise reduction mode is smaller. And after the screen is turned to the front, the new microphone is on the back. VLOG users still need to equip additional radio equipment.
360 degree panoramic lens
The scene where the light weakens step by step ↑ (distortion correction has been made, the edge will be stretched, resulting in poor detail, and the center is the actual discriminant force)
Compared with the surprise of 4K enhanced lens, 360 degree panoramic lens is the traditional panoramic lens picture quality. After all, the 360 degree field of vision divides 6080x3040 pixels, No matter how many pixels there are, there is not enough to eat The color style is close to the 4K enhancement lens, and the metering is still conservative, slightly darker than the naked eye.
At this stage, the core problem of panoramic camera is still the image quality of insufficient pixels. The image quality is relatively difficult under normal office lighting environment. The huge volume of video is also the best representative of a solid hard disk destroyer and a "instant shooting, later crematorium".
Their main purpose now is to record 360 degree panoramic pictures (nonsense), It is possible for a single person to complete the shooting and take pictures later, which is suitable for the lone ranger or VLOG users. For ordinary users, they mainly rely on cool visual effects such as planet maps to fight in the circle of friends.
But the core of panoramic camera is the equipment of the future. The future is the VR world. Now, a group of users with panoramic cameras have taken every panoramic video, which is a precious image in the third decade of the 21st century. If you use VR glasses to see your own panoramic photos, you will understand what I mean.
In front of a complete sense of immersion, it's like looking back at the photos 10 or 15 years ago, You may also notice that their white balance is not correct, the discrimination is not enough, or the screen is full of noise, but you will certainly appreciate every shutter you press at that time.
user's experience
Size comparison with mobile phone ↑
Insta360 ONE RS ↑ with protective case, flash memory companion and cold boots
Insta360 ONE RS is longer than traditional sports cameras such as GoPro and Action. The lightest 4K enhanced lens version has a weight of 125.3g. If the whole set of accessories are put together, the design will be more professional cheat Has.
Screen pixel arrangement ↑
Insta360 ONE RS screen is arranged in RGB, with no automatic brightness and low limit brightness, which is basically enough. Low frequency PWM, and there are four gears, Energy saving enthusiasts belong to it. More than 80% brightness is DC dimming, less than 80% low-frequency PWM, about 50% ultra-low frequency PWM, and about 30% extremely low frequency PWM.
Cold start takes 5 to 6 seconds, It is about 2 seconds slower than ONE X2, which is a little patience test. Click the shutter to wake up from the power off state and start recording, and then click the shutter to end recording and return to the power off state. After you get used to it, it is very practical.
Insta360 ONE RS is probably the most fluent and fast product for insta360 touch screen operation. Its operation logic is similar to that of ONE X2. On the viewfinder interface, there are photo albums, left sliding on the right, camera settings, and left sliding on the center.
The machine provides 13 functional modes, such as HDR photography, video recording, delay, slow motion, night view, starry sky, continuous shooting, wide screen, and cyclic video (used for riding tachographs), which are really soft one by one. Fortunately, the right side of this generation of screens Added shortcut function preset button , there are 5 customized preset positions.
The other touch button is instant zoom, that is, during the recording process, digital zoom can also be performed between 17mm and 50mm. 4800W pixel is good! Sliding zoom is relatively smooth, but there will be distortion correction intervention near 21mm, which will cause the picture to jump. Pay attention to avoid it.
As with the previous insta360 product, the A9 Platform is still prompted when the computer is connected, and several modes can be selected, such as USB flash drive, USB camera, flash companion (storing data in an external accessory) and Android (OTG reading on Android phone). You don't need to bring a card reader when you go out. An Android phone or computer has a cable to read data. In case of being isolated at home, it can also be used as a USB camera.
Enhanced WiFi, instant effect, connection The experience of mobile preview materials is significantly better than that of ONE X2 and GO2 You don't have to wait for it to turn around. However, the speed of iPhone connection is still slow, and iOS is really inexplicable. I understand why it is necessary to make flash memory companion accessories.
Insta360 ONE RS is a panoramic camera similar to the ONE X2 after it is replaced with a 360 degree panoramic lens. The functions such as bullet time, selfie stick hiding, etc. are the same. The problem of file management is also the same. In addition to generating dual file panoramic video, Insta360 ONE RS 4K enhanced lens HDR photography and night scene photography will take 3 and 10 photos respectively for violent stack, Every time I open the memory card, I will be shocked by the huge number of files 。
If it is not possible to automatically store video preview files, HDR/night view photos and other scattered files in separate folders, can you give a file name and function description in the manual? Even if I and other insta360 users are big, novices may be even more confused. As for P At the C end, the food performance is still good, and the stability still needs to be improved 。
Body temperature after 10 minutes of recording ↑
In terms of heating, the room temperature is 25 degrees, 4K 60 frames+medium anti shake, Insta360 ONE RS：
After 5 minutes, the highest temperature on the front is 50.7 degrees, and the highest temperature on the back is 45 degrees
After 10 minutes, the highest temperature on the front is 58.3 degrees, and the highest temperature on the back is 51.7 degrees
After 15 minutes, the highest temperature on the front is 62 degrees, and the highest temperature on the back is 52.1 degrees
After 20 minutes, the highest temperature on the front is 66.8 degrees, and the highest temperature on the back is 58.7 degrees
After 25 minutes, the highest temperature on the front is 70.7 degrees, and the highest temperature on the back is 63.3 degrees
If the frame is changed to 4K30, the front will be 3 or 4 degrees lower at each time point, and the back will be about 2 degrees lower.
The heat source is concentrated near the front logo because the twill decoration has the effect of heat dissipation and reducing the contact surface, The body feels warm after 10 minutes, but it is hot after 15 minutes Thanks to the modular design, the battery is always cold, and the camera is only warm, which will not affect the electrochemical performance of the battery and the optical performance of the lens.
Although I was as enthusiastic as other sports cameras, I didn't crash in three 25 minute video tests, Stability is OK . After three 25 minute tests, there is even 5% power, which is close to the official standard endurance.
Accessories group
Reasonably, in the era of mobile phone multi frame synthesis, the image quality of motion cameras has long been out of favor. Their focus is on the use of scenes and the anti shake performance comparable to that of PTZ. The use of scenes depends on a large number of accessories, so that sports cameras can be fixed on the body, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, even ski poles and other items. The price of Insta360 accessories is relatively reasonable, and there are many kinds of accessories.
New protective frame ↑, 99 yuan, with microphone sponge windscreen, with cushion block inside, it will not scratch the camera. The translucent thing on the front is a heat sink, which is a phase change heat absorbing material similar to the Find X5 heat sink shell. It weighs 34.8g bare.
Flash messaging partner, 299 yuan, is actually a card reader with C port and Lightning port, which requires additional cards. The core is to improve the efficiency of memory card management of mobile devices. With its own waterproof ring, both the Insta360 ONE RS bare machine and the shell state can be connected, allowing the material to be stored on the flash memory partner by default, and then connected to Android and iOS mobile phones, the material can be directly managed on the insta360 APP.
The cold boots cost 99 yuan. Although they are made of metal, they may have the lowest cost performance among the accessories.
In addition, there are many accessories. The new 1445mAh battery is 199 yuan (the thickness of the new and old batteries is different, which is not common with the old version of the shell), the 2380mAh enhanced thickened battery is 299 yuan, the fast charging accessories are 299 yuan (charging two batteries at the same time, 18W), the C to 3.5 audio adapter is 89 yuan, the 120cm long invisible self timer rod is 69 yuan, the ND filter, the bullet time kit, etc.
Insta360 even has a vertical battery that makes ONE R/RS become ONE X/X2 for 209 yuan (out of stock).
Then I swipe the accessories library, and it turns out that the panoramic package on Dajiang Mavic 2/Pro is still available, At the deadline, 1953 yuan, with a split fisheye lens and a vertical shooting battery. Zhuo! Cost performance ratio explodes! The panoramic lens is sold for 1998 yuan only. This set can be used in UAVs and has batteries, but it is cheaper.
As for the motorcycle accessories commonly used by the whole family, 249 yuan, 199 yuan, 299 yuan for riding accessories, 299 yuan for back bar accessories (tied to the waist and shot from the back of the head), 199 yuan for unicorn helmet accessories (as the name implies, put the camera on the front corner of the helmet), 60 yuan for parkour suits (head and chest straps), 130 yuan for football suits (wrist straps, headbands, chest straps) The ski suit is 249 yuan (helmet strap, chest strap, ski pole clip), the rock climbing suit is 59 yuan (headband and wrist strap), and there are corresponding suits for skydiving, bungee jumping, surfing, and skateboarding.
Price comparison
Insta360 ONE RS single console costs 1698 yuan. One inch lens and panoramic lens cost 1998 yuan, while 4K enhanced version costs 1998 yuan, one inch wide-angle version costs 3498 yuan, 4K enhanced+panoramic lens version costs 3498 yuan, and one inch wide-angle lens+panoramic lens version costs 4999 yuan.
Current price of related products in the official store of JD:
ONE X2 panoramic camera 2798 yuan
GO2 thumb camera 1799 yuan
GoPro HERO10 is 3498 yuan
GoPro HERO9 is 2598 yuan
Dajiang Action 2 endurance package 2399 yuan
Dajiang Action 2 double screen package 2999 yuan
In the 4K lens version of Insta360 ONE RS, although there are still many holes to be filled in the color science, the image quality performance is still OK. It is a pity that there is no 4K 120FPS mode (the top HERO10 has 5.3K 60FPS). In addition, the product does not have a large short board. In front of peers, it is a cost-effective player from 1998 yuan.
The panoramic lens version is also mainly for users who want to buy ONE R/RS to lower the threshold of panoramic cameras, which is equal to 1500 to let you experience panoramic life. But if you mainly want to play panorama, ONE X2 is more cost-effective.
Insta360 is one of three consumer series: ONE R, ONE X, and GO. One new product every year is changing its pace. There is a high probability that ONE R2 will have to wait for more than 2 years. According to the rule of old and new, there is no need to expect price reduction at the end of the life cycle. The good news is to preserve value, buy early and enjoy early; The bad news is that there is no discount for late purchases.
The Existence Meaning of Motion Camera/Panorama Camera
Insta360 is full of creative effects ↑
Users who have never played sports camera/panoramic camera may wonder, Why choose a device whose image quality is not as good as that of a mobile phone? The answer is that all kinds of mobile phones can not do creative effects . Therefore, Insta360 has become the core selling point of APP with a huge amount of creativity and one click templates.
For the creative effect that can't be completely smooth, just pick any one of them and they will be praised by friends. Who can refuse all kinds of cool effects?
To some extent, the sports camera/panoramic camera is like the husky that forces you to go out for a walk, like the gym year card that forces you to exercise. Some people have changed their life path because of this opportunity, and some people have been satisfied with the psychological satisfaction of "collecting is learning".
Just like the Kindle may be a golden house or a bubble cover, the value of this product depends entirely on the actions of users. Although I like instant noodles with a kindle flavor, it does not affect my yearning for sunny people who are active in Insta360
