Review of the INSTA360 ONE X - the best small 360 camera out there? 

Philip, I really appreciate your videos. You never do any of the irritating things that many, MANY RU-vidrs do. No clickbait titles. No false enthusiasm. You are witty without it feeling forced. And you are completely honest and thorough. Thank you!

9:46 I loled, and you got coffee on that poor older gentleman's shoes. He was like, "whippersnappers and their dam* selfie stickeroos"

Came for the camera review, left crying about Noodle.

Sorry to hear your loss.

Rip Noodle. Hugs for you, Philip.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Breaks the heart. I could see in your videos how close you and Noodle were and I can understand how much you miss her. A couple of years ago I lost my cat Philli. I felt his life slipping away in my arms after a hit and run by someone who accelerated when he saw Philli crossing the road. I'm glad you had 18 blissful years with Noodle and Noodle had you her entire life. Hugs.

Boy, that intro really got me. I'm very sorry for your loss, and thanks for the review - all of them. Great job Philip and stay strong. This is, by far, the most comprehensive review of this camera. Everyone else seemed to gloss over the frame rates and the manner in which the selfie stick works or even the bullet time tool. I now realize, I probably didn't need to spend the extra $50 on their stick. :) but oh well. Thank you!

I'm so sorry for your loss Philip. My dog is 18yrs old, can't even imagine what your going through. Sending you and Noodle my best wishes. Thank you for the great review as always.

I am SO sorry about Noodle!! Pets can be so wonderful!! You were truly blessed!

So glad you included he 360 shot on the train where you spill your coffee. You wouldn’t believe it but this one shot is what makes me want a 360 camera, it just highlights how much more you can capture in the moment. You got the event, your reaction and the reaction of the old man next to you. Great comprehensive review. Love the vlog at the end. Still leaning towards a fusion though

Sorry for your loss! I am happy that I had a chance to experience that beautiful creature through your videos!

Thanks for putting this review together at a difficult time for you and your family. Very sorry for your loss. Much love PB.

Brilliant and funny as usual!!! I actually ordered mine now. I use the One for making HDRis for CH elements that are small with highly reflective objects, which are placed in those awkward places where a dslr doesn’t fit. This has better image despite having less pixels. So I will mainly shoot RAW stills and manually bracket them then stack them to get an HDRi for lighting CG.

RIP Noodle. What a wonderful cat - and amazing review!!

love your love for your cats and your cat family man. you have such a gift that you gave yourself of being able to document your cat's long 18 year life. I am sure you will find comfort in the various appearances she has made. welcome to the new cats too! as always thanks for your detailed reviews

Sorry for your loss!! Loved the review, some aspects I had not seen in other reviews, so consider me subscribed!

You always make me chuckle Philip. Also enjoy seeing clips of some of my old haunts in SW London.

I am so sorry for your loss. I came here like many others for the camera review, but felt some of your sadness and love for Noodle and your animals. I have rescue cats, too and have similar feels. Thanks for sharing.

Best and thorough video yet on a 360 cam - I just brought my intro camera, a 360FLY. After watching your video, I want go get One X. Thanking you by leaving a thumb up here from San Francisco USA to G.B.

Cats are the absolute best. Such companionship and bonding one cat cat have with you is remarkable. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your loss Philip. All the best to you and Percy.

I wish you guys the best during this difficult time. It's always difficult to lose a part of your family. I stopped having pets because it's just too hard for me.

God bless Philip! I’m a dog person but I understand the bond you as wIth Noodle. Lost one of my dogs last year after having him for 16 years. Pets are family. Sorry for your loss man.

I love my dog like nothing else, so knowing you managed to even edit that dedicated sequence of your cat must have been tough. Life goes on. Keep going

Man, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My BFF Whisker passed away on December 17th. I had her since December of 1999. I felt the same away about her gentle soul, and always there for me. Anytime I would edit from home, she would always be on my lap - helping. I adored her so very much, and my world will never be the same without Whisker in my life. I’m sorry to hear about your friend Noodle. It is an unbreakable bond, and each day without her just feels like a blur.

the fact that you can capture people without having to point a camera at them opens up more shot opportunities in public spaces, especially with travel video. That's an underrated unique feature compared to other 'traditional' cameras.

From one cat lover to another I am really sorry to hear about Noodle's passing. Such a gorgeous cat.. You gave her a wonderful life.

RIP noodle. Gulp. My Insta one X is on order. So stumbled on this excellent review. Really like your casual, no nonsense and I have to say - modest, not cocky attitude. So refreshing! I am currently in the process of attempting the Pennine way hike in stages - so will be using this in a vlogging capacity - be fab to have that 'third person view's perspective of the trail. (Will be using a separate audio capture device!) Great review - I am now even more excited to get this camera! All the best regards Adam 👍

One of the best videos of the One X i saw atm. Well done. Thanks!!! Greetz from germany Hamburg

Sorry for your loss Philip, I moved from Europe to the US and had to leave my beloved cat also behind, it's rough especially the ones with amazing personalities. Stay strong!

Very deep, interesting and funny review. Thank you Mr. Bloom

Excellent introduction to the insta 360 One X, thank you. Very sorry about Noodle, that must have been devastating with them all being ill as well. We run a pet rescue and I know about loss unfortunately. All the best mate.

This was a great video. I've been trying to decide whether or not to get this and your vid has convinced me that it'll be great for my hiking vlogs. Thanks 👍 (sorry about Noodle 😔)

Noodle 😢 RIP! Thank You for this great Review, my Insta Comes to me tomorrow 😊

wasn't expecting to cry on a insta 360 review video.. but good video non-the-less

So sorry to hear about your loss. I also have a rescue cat that is a massive part of my life and is always there when I get home waiting to play and always sits beside me when I'm editing my videos. I can't imagine the loss. Chin up mate.

Philip Bloom "Reviews"? oh boy thats exciting! Sincerely sorry to hear your loss.

Sorry to hear about Noodle, Philip and thanks for the camera review. Was pretty sure I'd get one of these instead of a GoPro 7 and you've made up my mind that I will. :)

Nice review 👏🏻 sorry to hear about your cat ❤️ I have lived with cats all my life and it’s always sad when something happens

RIP Noodle, top review again Mr.Bloom, loving the ending too lol

U know what, I appreciate your work sooooo much but today, for the first time you made me cry a little bit with the introduction of the full review video of the insta360onex with the introduction dedicated to your beloved cat... not all can understand what a loss of a pet could be painful, but I recently loss my dog and I just can tell you I am close to you in this sad moment of your life, even we do not know eachother (and my English is so baaaad... I would like to express myself better to let you understand what I want to say, but, btw, a hope you will). just my little message... really sorry for your loss!

I am sorry for your loss. Pets are more than family. Sending lots of love

When you spilled the coffee on the train on the guy sitting down ! hahaha I died a little inside.

I have my cat here on the keyboard while I type so I understand your loss. This was really a well-done and useful video.

You are a very special human being. Sorry for your loss. Noodle was part of our lives also.

Great video! I can see some commercial potential in short youtube/facebook videos for smaller companies, but big production, not so much of course.

Enjoyed this super in depth review - wondered if you created your own foley or using a library? Rest in peace Noodle

Sure I'm a year late, getting myself a One X, thanks for this great video, as always love your work. Say your does your offer of your bath video still stand?........ That cracked me up!!😄

So sorry for your loss. It has made me realize I should be taking many more photos and videos of my constant feline companion, Mitzi. I don't know what I would do without her.

Hi Philip, If we all cared for our cats and pets in general like you do, the world would be a far better place - Noodles was a lucky puss. I certainly had a big lump in my throat when listening to you, as it reminded me of my cats too - they are all little characters and do leave a big hole, bless! You have lots of happy memories of Noodles and they will always be there.

I’m so sorry about your loss of Noodle and how it happened. Heart breaking. Tears to my eyes. I didn’t know you did a review of this 360 until I let left the comment on Instagram 350XT. Thanks Philip for sharing your reviews and life with the cats. Xx

Sending prayers for you Philip, I lost my dog due to cancer. They are family and it’s absolutely the worst thing and I really feel terrible for you. Sending good vibes to you from California man. 🙁

I love your reviews. You can check out the cameras rylo vs insta360 one x I really appreciate you this

Video was a great thorough informative review. Thank you, I gave 👍. My heart goes out to Noodle & you. I lost my friend Little Bit mid November. He was Mainecoon Red, a rescue, and he chose me when he was a baby too.

Sorry for your loss. God bless you and your entire family.

I'm so sorry for what happened. I know your feeling Mr Philip I lost my cat too. But that's a part of our life and we should handle it and keep going on .

Sorry to hear about your beautiful cat. The moire effect surrounding moving objects in the Insta360 One X footage I just can't get over...and its basically present in almost all present 360 cameras. The tech has come a long way, especially the workflow of the footage, but will wait a few more years for the video quality to be a bit better in lower-cost 260 cameras. Its coming, for sure. Just have to be patient! Amazing video, PB. Love your channel!!

I‘m so sorry for the loss of your family member. Nice video!

RIP Noodle :( Although the coffee incident at 9:55 cheered me up, that guy's face :o

So sorry for your loss! Will miss seeing her in your vids;(

I am so sorry to hear about noodle:(. I have 2 twin cats and they are such great companions and family. I am very interested in the camera as I think the 360 is a niche market but you are starting to see more and more of it.

would love to see some shots using the Mavic Pro mount

This was extremely useful for me right now, thank you 🙏🏻 Mr. Bloom. I bought it as a cheap alternative for shooting some interior sequences instead of buying a wide angle lens and a gimbal. Phillip, how did you attach it to your car? 🚗

Sorry about your loss. 18 years is a decent amount of time at least. Great review as always. I might pick one up, although there's that constant nagging feeling that a better version is around the corner.

Why no one come up with the idea/invention to add a 3.5 mm mic input jack in the remote control. And when you start record with the remote it sends audio to the camera or save audio in a memory card that are in remote control. And while send files to your phone the audiofiles also are send. Would be super easy to synk pic and audio and also keep track of all files if they are conected to eachother. Just a crazy dream idea... Great review by the way

Sorry for your loss. They are family.

A couple things... Turn up your volume when you upload! So many people set their volume low and you can't turn up volume that's set too low, but you can turn down volume set too high. Also; I feel your loss of Noodle. I had a cat (we have a few, as well as some neighborhood 'adoptees', and always have at least one) that I'd had with me for 22 years! She, too, died in my arms, at the vet, after suffering renal failure and getting a humanitarian shot to stop the pain. Probably set her off humanitarianism at that point... One of my worst days. My heart goes out to you both. Great video. Thanks for taking the time.

Great review, answered all my questions. 👍✌️

I feel your pain . I love my animals . They are family . May you find comfort in the beautiful memories you both made together

Great OneX review👍. Missing Noodle😕.

Thanks Philip. I just bought my One X 👍🏻

Thanks for the review and so sorry to hear about your cat...ours are 14 now...time is runnung... Cheers Michael

Very, very good review. Just stumbled upon your channel. Thanks!

Was randomly watching video about the 360 one x. Cried for a good 5 minutes about your cats even if that's the first time I've even seen her. :(

18 years, man. Sorry for your loss. Thank you for this video review.

RIP Noodle The One X fits my budget, and the first test shots I've done are quite nice; I am not using it for proper 360, but for HD extraction and reframing shots I can't get otherwise where even a small gimbal is too heavy on a long pole.

sorry about noodle - we lost one of dogs last year and it tore us apart - your cats are always the highlight of your videos - lovely creatures

Awwww bless little Noodle 😞but 18 years is a lovely gift... ❤ thanks for explaining how the selfie stick disappears...

I'm a dog guy, and i had the same sad experience ..."in my arms"... with one of my dogs, i completly understand you.

Made my eyes leak. Thanks for another great vid!

I'm so sorry to heard about Noodle. Good luck to the rest of them

Sorry to hear about your loss. :/

Funny, everyone moaned about the plastic protective case that came with the original One, but I much preferred that over the little pouch that comes with the X. More protection with the former. If any grit or sand gets into the pouch that’s the lens probably down the river.

Sorry to hear about Noodle. I know it's devastating. I lost my cat earlier this year and she died in my arms. It was more upsetting than I though it could be. She looked so powerless. I'm feeling your pain.

Anyway we could get a download link to a 'raw' file from the Insta360 One X? I'd love to see a clip straight from the camera without RU-vid compression. I ride a OneWheel and a 360 camera would make for some awesome videos. I'm currently using the new Hero7 and I really like the camera, but for what I do, 360 would be much better.

Excellent video Philip thank you, and how is audio on the camera? ah just heard what you send about the audio!

amazing review, thank you Philip

Great review and run through of the capabilities of the 360 One X. you mentioned the cost in the Uk being around GBP450. Is this inclusive of the selfi stick, bullet time handle and the 64GB SD card as here in Hong Kong the price is about GBP300 for the camera only?

Oh mate I feel for your loss , cats rule R.I.P noodle ❤️❤️❤️ loving your vids and Tech tips mate , thanks for your efforts 🤘😎🤘🇦🇺

Anybody that isn't afraid to post a vid of themselves accidentally pouring coffee on themselves is ok in my book. lol

That hyperlapse of walking (jogging?) through London, as used by Insta360 official channel, is mind blowing, as is the one with the seagulls. I think I have to get one. This is the first time I have teared up at the death of cat that I was not personally acquainted with. Very funny too. Thank you.

Your videos look very good. This kind of video able to be done by the average person ?

On the positive side you had 18 good years. Good review, I'm getting one.

I’m really so sorry to hear. She will still always be there.

So sorry about Noodles. We must be brothers from another mother...I lost my cat Jala after 18 years exactly, and she fell asleep for good in my arms. Good review as always. I’m actually commenting to find out if you have used the Garmin VIRB360, and if so how does IT compare to all of what the ONE X is offering...app/editing, specs, etc. Thank you, and carry on brother.

Hi, are you aware the bullet time handle also converts to a tripod (at least mine does) and when I bought my one x, it came with 2# batteries but love your review. Cheers.

Noodle will always be in our hearts. As a cat lover, I love all cats even if they are not mine.

Hi thanks for video , 1 question is it water resistant ?

thank you for the review. Why did you gloss over the fact that the footage underwater was totally out of focus? Does the camera has to be put into a different mode to correct focus for the case refraction or just does a really bad job underwater?

Noodles was so lucky to have you.
