Ten things to do on idrive full#

But one that I’m going to continue through this year, and share my results with you at the end. One that should have started off in Disneyland Paris, had I remembered to bring it. Then when moments strike where we’re experiencing something memorable, I’m going to take this out and swing this around my or our heads to capture a pretty cool time-lapse-type look at our whole year of adventures. Throughout this year, I’m going to carry my Insta360 X3 everywhere with me. But I’ve seen something that has inspired me. It will never look as cool as Neo in the Matrix.

Simply attach this to your camera, and fling it around your head to capture yourself in full 4K 120fps, 360-degree slow-motion glory. There is one adapter of all adapters that has inspired me more than others recently…Bullet Time.ĭid you know that the creators of the Matrix used hundreds of meticulously positioned and calibrated cameras to create the effect now known as Bullet time? But with Insta360, you can get a similar effect with a simple Bullet Time Cord and the X3.

So no need to rip everything out and use new mounts on all your gear! The X3 has a standard-sized thread on the bottom for a tripod, so simply attach the tripod adapter to the bottom and now it will fit onto any GoPro mount that you might already have. The good news is that you can still use all of them for the Insta 360 X3! The angles you can get are just so varied, it’s such a flexible camera.įor those of you suckers like me, who did go and buy a GoPro, maybe 2 GoPro’s, bought a tonne of mounts and adapters and screws and things. Or perhaps even, use it to inspect your roof, or your gutters and save yourself from needing to climb up a ladder. Use it to capture footage from even more unique angles without having to climb up somewhere to place and then retrieve the camera each time.

Coming in at a whopping 3m in length, the Extended Selfie Stick gives you drone-like abilities. But check out the Extended Selfie Stick which takes your 360 footage to a whole new level. That selfie stick is just over 1m in length. It even makes for some fun third-person perspectives, all seemingly whilst you’re being followed by someone filming you.Īgain these are all things that if I had used a GoPro, just wouldn’t be possible. This means you can get some pretty interesting and unique perspectives on anything you are doing, even though it might not be the most interesting or action-packed thing to film.įrom snapping photos with an invisible photographer to being followed whilst riding your bike or driving your car. Simply mount the camera on the end of the extended stick and the Camera will automatically stitch together the footage from both sides of the camera to make it look as though the selfie stick isn’t even there. Something unique about Insta360’s range of cameras is the invisible selfie stick. It’s not just that you can film with the X3 and then decide which direction to look after you’ve filmed. Thank you, Tesla.īecause as long as you have the X3, you can decide all of that AFTER you’ve filmed it. Or perhaps even use it to spot where problems are coming from when you don’t know the exact source of them. Or filming an event and not knowing which direction things are coming from, whilst simultaneously capturing your reactions. Like filming yourself without worrying about if you’re in frame or not. The fact this is a 360 camera means that the Insta360 X3 can be used in a whole range of different situations compared to a traditional Action Cam, which, just can’t. So in this post, let’s talk about 10 ways that the Insta360 X3 is better than a GoPro, and 10 reasons why I think you should go and buy one of these right away. Recently, Insta360 sent me a new toy to play with, and I have to say, I’ve been blown away by how versatile the Insta360 X3 has been. You see the GoPro advert, get sucked in by the incredible shots that it can seemingly take, you buy one…Īnd then realise that your life is incredibly boring, and you don’t actually have a use for an Action Cam. You’re about to see a camera that absolutely blows the GoPro out of the water!
