How to capture this perfect 360 rotation? - 360 camera or attachment on wheels of some kind?

You can get a 360 camera like the GoPro Max or the Insta360 X5 and just place it in the middle and leave it recording - then in the app you can create this perfect rotation, it comes with pre-made movement templates also.

360 cameras for filming slots

I’ve been recording my canyoning trips for a few years and used GoPro, DJI and insta360. I honestly done care about brands, I just want the best tool for the job. Firstly with 360 cams vs traditional action cams. 360s are great for canyoning, they capture everything and you don’t have to worry about

Recommendations for Reliable 180 3D and 360 VR Cameras?

What do you mean by 360 “VR”? Usually that means 360 3D, and the reference on a budget would be an Insta360 Pro2. But if your budget is under the R5C, forget about the Pro2, too. If you meant “flat” 360, no clue. I’d say Insta360 X5 has the better software and manages better the overheat, DJI Osmo t

Hugh Hou: Osmo 360 vs Insta360 X5 32m unsponsored rewiev

“Unsponsored” lol. A review is unsponsored when you don’t get the camera for free before launch as an incentive to talk well about it. Anyways I’ve seen the entire video and he mostly talks about the lack of detail of insta360 compared to the dji, but he didn’t mention in which sharpness mode he use

What do you expect from future Osmo 360 Firmware Updates?

I feel like all the limitations we have against insta360 x5 are all software based, because hardware wise it's better than X5 out of the box. So in future updates it will eventually become better than the X5 as well as the editing studio

For those who use a POV camera...

IMO a 360 camera is the only option, like others have said. The 2 ones worth considering are the insta360 x5 and the GoPro Max 2. I got both to test out and see which I liked more. Here’s my experience as someone that comes from a professional video background: Insta360 X5 Pros Objectively better im

The latest Insta360 Luna rumors vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, is DJI losing the race?

That’s the problem with the insta360 stuff right now. They leverage TOO Much On the AI stuff inside the camera. I’ve moved away from a insta360 X5 to the DJI Osmo 360, just because the file it produces it’s more “natural” and easier to edit with the 10Bit colours. The videos from the X5 can be nice

Query on OSMO 360

I just bought an Osmo 360. It’s totally worth it for your use case. But you should also consider the Insta360 X4 or X5. The Osmo has a bigger sensor but needs some time to catch up on sortware, stitching and the lens can only be replaced by authorized service centrea. But they know camera tech and w

Ever since the X5 dropped, competitors have been flooding in...

Well you will find out soon. Rumor is end of July / August will bring both the DJI and GoPro entrants. Neither seem to have replaceable lens like the X5, but both seem rumored to have slightly larger sensors than the X5 which in theory could help low light… we will see they always hype the smallest
