I expect that this would probably prove to be more reliable than trying to stabilise it in something like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, although I haven’t done a side-by-side comparison yet myself. Update: Insta360 says that stabilisation is supported for 6K footage in post using the Insta360 smartphone app or using Insta360 Studio on the desktop.

It’s essentially only usable when shooting from a fixed position like on a tripod or when using an actual gimbal. And you’ll need to do your stabilisation in the edit because there is no stabilisation whatsoever when recording 6K.

It uses the full width of the sensor and offers a 2.35:1 cinematic aspect ratio rather than the typical 16:9, but it’s larger than 4K in both the vertical and horizontal axes, giving you some options in post for stabilising, scaling, cropping or faking subtle camera movements on a 4K 16:9 timeline in the edit. One big feature with the new 4K module, is that it lets you shoot with a massive 6K (6016 x 2560 pixels) widescreen option. The latter half of the video is with Active HDR enabled. It will help to prevent you from blowing out those bright skies while trying to get detail in the shadows, although it does have limits, as you’ll see in a couple of shots in the sample footage below. It’s a minor change, but it should give you about an extra 2/3rds of a stop of brightness, allowing you to shoot in slightly lower lighting conditions.Īs well as a slightly wider angle field of view and brighter aperture, the new 4K module also supports Active HDR, which helps to give you a wider dynamic range in high contrast scenes. The aperture on the new lens is also slightly wider, opening up from the f/2.8 of the original to f/2.4. It brings with it a slightly wider field of view, switching out the ONE R’s 16.4mm equivalent focal length for an even 16mm. It features a newer and higher resolution 1/2″ 48-megapixel sensor, with sharp 4K video at up to 60fps.

What makes the new 4K mod so different? Well, it’s a completely new lens unit.

INSTA360 ONE R FLOWSTATE UPGRADE

It’s a big upgrade for existing users, and a compelling reason to pick this up if you’re looking for something that’s easy to use, compatible with a range of mounts (it has a standard tripod screw mount in its base) and relatively affordable (cheaper than a GoPro Hero 6).The 4K Wide Angle module (left) and the new 4K Boost module (right) The 4K Wide Angle module (left) and the new 4K Boost module (right)

INSTA360 ONE R FLOWSTATE UPDATE

This update will be pushed out via the updated Insta360 app, and will require a firmware update for existing cameras. There’s a hyper lapse feature that speeds up time for pulling more action out of even leisurely bike rides, and you can also take over manually to basically direct the experience as if you were shooting it in real time with a traditional video camera, including doing things like zooming. Users can now add transition points in the mobile app to create dynamic camera angle changes, and also set object or person active tracking. The changes make Insta360’s device a lot more like the Rylo camera in use, and more suitable for action sports and other adventure-friendly uses. This provides much better automatic stabilization than the Insta360 One supported at launch, and enables a bunch of new editing and formatting features that really improve the value proposition of the $299 gadget.Īs you can see above, FlowState allows you to do a lot more with your footage after the fact, including creating smooth pans across footage for exporting to more standard vertical and wide-angle formats (since it’s very rare that people actually watch all that much true 360-degree footage). One of the better 360-degree cameras out there just got a lot better: The Insta360 One, a standalone 4K 360 camera with a built-in iPhone or Android hardware connector now supports FlowState onboard stabilization.
