Insta360 One RS 1″ 360 Edition

Insta360 One RS 1″ 360 Edition – 1-inch sensor with a 360-degree field of view

The Insta360 One RS 1″ 360 Edition takes 360° cameras to a whole new level. It features two one-inch sensors that provide a 360-degree field of view and 6K video resolution. Developed in collaboration with Leica, the CMOS sensor delivers industry-leading image quality and astonishing low-light performance thanks to its large size.

The camera is capable of recording 360° video at an astonishing 6K resolution and can take 360° photos at up to 21 megapixels. Thanks to its large sensor, the camera’s dynamic range is superior to that of other comparable consumer cameras. Furthermore, the camera incorporates advanced AI technology which, for example, can enhance the dynamic range of an image in PureShot HDR mode.

The camera’s enhanced 6-axis image stabiliser, combined with Insta’s proprietary stabilisation algorithm, delivers exceptionally steady footage even in the most challenging conditions. The One RS also features the 360 Horizon Lock function, which ensures the horizon remains level at all times, regardless of camera shake or movement.

Thanks to the camera’s 360-degree field of view, there is no need to point the camera directly at the subject whilst filming; instead, the frame can be cropped during post-production. Insta360 in the software You can choose whether to use the full 360° field of view from the raw video or perhaps crop it to a standard aspect ratio. In addition, the software allows you to apply various editing effects and transitions, such as keyframe, Deep Track 2.0, auto frame, cinelapse, sky swap, timeshift and multiview. The camera can also be used for live streaming or as a webcam.

The Battery Base is fitted with electronic contacts that connect the various modules so they can work together. It also comes with a mounting frame featuring the three-ring mounting system familiar from GoPro. The whole set fits into the frame in a compact form. This allows you to attach it to a wide range of existing accessories, including those specifically designed for the One R. The 1350mAh battery provides sufficient power for most shoots. The Battery Base is charged via a USB Type-C port, and the charging time is approximately 90 minutes. The camera is IPX3-rated, which means it can withstand light rain.

The Core module features a touchscreen with live-view controls. The live-view screen can be used as a front or rear display. This also allows you to vlog at this resolution.

Other features supported by the One RS include Bluetooth control via an Apple Watch or the Insta360 GPS remote control (both of which are sold separately). The innovative modular system also allows the use of an external microphone via the separately available Insta360 USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter.
