I've owned the R version of the 360/4K combo as well as the new 4k RS version mentioned here. This deal is on the older R 4K version camera and not the newer RS version.

The HUGE problem with either version is the sound/mics. I usually use my GoPro Hero 7 and Hero 10 for video and the sound they produce is very good. I used the Insta360 for the 360 camera only. I recently made a trip and switch over to the Insta360 RS 4K (supposed to have improved mics over the R version) and the sound was _terrible_. The R version does include an external mic adaptor but I'll warn you.. if you lose it, you won't be able to replace it. I think Insta360 is just trying to blow through their excess 4K R cameras by offering a good discount.

Again, I'd say that the video from this camera is acceptable and about 95% of what the GoPro delivers but the sound is simply not there.
"camera" or "action camera" would be helpful in title.

Is this capable of being a dash cam? IE can it do loop recording? Google results show sparse details about it's capability for this purpose

I film motorcycle action sports for a living, and this is a good deal.

Right now I'm a big fan of the DJI osmo action 3 and use it primarily, but this camera for under $200 is awesome.

This. Well put.

That said, for the money, this isn't a bad deal. For under $200 out the door you'd be hard pressed to find anything better. Also insta 360 has a pretty good app which can help you produce better shots through little tutorial / idea videos.

If you're going for a cheaper action camera right now, another suggestion would be the AKASO Brave 7 LE on Amazon right now. Cheapest its been according to three desert mammals.

Do you have any experience with the "off brand" action cams? The camera you mentioned is $112 on amazon and I could see myself getting it for a spare cam for b roll on a car shoot suctioned to the car. I always hate putting a great cam that close to danger and at under $120 I wouldn't worry too much.

Got it for my daughter for Christmas so we haven't really put it through the paces yet. It feels high quality similar to my GoPro.

There are some pretty good review videos on YouTube for it.

It's the base version which I think is a 1/4 inch. The rs is a 1/2 inch.
