I wish you could actually buy the 360 modules for a reasonable cost. For this price, I think the new rs would probably be a better buy directly from insta.

Could you please elaborate? : )
I'm confused by the versions and the options, even after going to their site. Checking out YT now. Insta vs GoPro.

This is just the body of the r (not the new rs) and the 1 inch mod. It's a great setup but the rs body is faster and doesn't overheat as much. The 360mod would allow you to take the cool 360 videos. They are modular so you could buy one BUT they are hard to find and pretty expensive. If you want the 1 inch sensor, this isn't a bad deal for the older R base.

You're better off buying the Insta360 One X2 or the One RS 360 Edition (the new one) for 360 video. Then get yourself the DJI Action 2 for regular action camera video. The RS camera you mentioned isn't very good. If you watch videos that aren't sponsored by Insta360 that compare it to GoPro & DJI you'll see how bad the video really is. I have the One X2 for 360 video and the DJI Action 2 for everything else. GoPro is so overpriced and their subscription BS just put a bad taste in my mouth.

I want the X2 but at this point it's been out for 2+ years. It's probably better to wait for the X3 if I've waited this long already.

Just looked up the DJI action 2, it looks like similar pricing since Gopros go on sale pretty often? I got a bad taste for gopro when a 1 year old hero 4 died on me but didn't see a good alternative. The Hero 7 that replaced it is still going but I don't have too much faith on how much longer it will survive.

The 1inch lens could be used in RS, anyone know the performance?

No reason to wait...technology is always changing. You'll be waiting forever. The new One inch 360 just dropped about a month ago...the OneX is still just as good as it was when it was released. well worth it!

@ RakhepriY

Mikespe made a valid point. Delay gratification is unjustified

I really wish there was a company who made a quality action cam with a quality app. I gave up on GoPro after having to buy a oversized $40 external mic adapter that frequently failed. GoPro also seemed to keep making their app worse with every update. It became a huge distraction and waste of time before my races.

I purchased an insta360 R and haven't been impressed. First session I used it, the gyro flaked out and ruined my footage. Also, their app leaves a LOT to be desired. They focus too much on camera tricks and not enough on making the all work properly. The remote I purchased with it is a joke and cannot be upgraded with an Android phone.

I've heard recommendations for the dji action 1.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check them out. My only worry with DJI is how Android is an afterthought for them. I remember when Android 10 came out and many people could no longer use their DJI drones because they didn't update their app until a long time afterwards. Upon launching the app, it would say incompatible with Android 10. However, maybe things have changed. Thanks again for the heads up. I will check them out!
