Performance is identical to the base One RS.This boost in battery capacity is certainly a welcome bonus, but it’s a shame that it comes at the cost of rendering those existing batteries useless, particularly since it flies in the face of the One RS’s emphasis on allowing users to upgrade piecemeal to the newer tech. The reason for this isn’t clear, but Insta360 has explained that the newer vertical battery comes with an increased capacity (from 1190mAh to 1350mAh) to make better use of the new tech. OF course, the main difference is the vertical battery, which now sits below the RS Core unfortunately, it brings some issues with the RS’s excellent track record on backwards compatibility.Įven though there is a vertical battery in existence for the Insta360 One R, it isn’t compatible with the 1-inch 360 Edition. In fact, on first glance you’d believe that the 360 Edition was actually the successor to the Insta360 One X2.ĭespite this design shift, the 360 Edition still has familiar trappings to the One RS, with the same RS Core module being housed right at the centre of the device and operating in much the same way. It sports a vertical design that does away with the RS’s red battery pack, while adding a huge lens to the top of the device and moving the buttons to the side. Right off the bat, it’s easy to confuse the 1-inch 360 Edition for being completely unrelated to the One RS camera. Physical buttons have moved to the side.The old vertical battery isn’t compatible with this new design.
New vertical design optimised for 360 filming.While all that sounds promising on paper, the high £809.99/$849.99 asking price (£659.99/$649.99 for the upgrade bundle) is sure to be a sticking point for most people – so is it worth it? Let’s find out. Now, the two aim to bring a similar boost in quality to 360 recording. While this seemed odd at the time, it’s now clear that this was because the 1-inch 360 lens, co-engineered with Leica, was waiting in the wings.īear in mind, this isn’t the first time that Insta360 and Leica have teamed up the two companies are responsible for the One R/RS’s existing 1-inch wide-angle lens that allows for 5.3K linear filming. When the Insta360 One RS came to market, it arrived having received a number of upgrades across the board – with the exception of any major improvements to its 360 camera. Backwards compatible: Works with the One RS and One R coresĬo-engineered with Leica, the Insta360 One RS 1-inch 360 Edition takes the fight straight to the GoPro Max to be the new top dog of 360-filmmaking.21MP 360 Stills: A notable upgrade from 18.4MP.6K Filming: The Insta360 One RS can now shoot 360 at 6K, bumping up from 5.3K.
