Love this camera! I used it when I go off roading, mountain biking and when riding my motorcycle it’s like having a camera man with you always.

Early Adopter - (360 Lens Review Only)
By far, one of the coolest cameras I have owned in the action camera market. Just received the product today and got to test it out for a little bit (so will update this review as time goes on), but the one thing I really noticed was the level of stabilization on this camera is insane. Pros: 1. Video Quality (5.7k 30fps) 2. Flowstate 2.0 Stabilization is amazing 3. The number of things you can do with the app is incredible Cons: 1. Battery Life is still no more than an hour (but will try different settings to see average battery life) 2. When connecting the modular pieces together, there is a bit of gap between the battery and the lens/screen, which I'm sure is fine since there is a seal between the connections, but at first I was worried if water would leak in between. Will update after running some water tests. Just kind of unnerving when first putting the pieces together if I did it correctly 3. Screen display is small (which isn't an issue itself), but I have noticed flickering from booting up and sometimes going through the menu (occasional). I'm sure this will be patched eventually Overall, yes I recommend this product to those looking for great stabilization and video quality. I have also looked into the One X and Hero Max, and my personal opinion is that the One R is better than the One X in terms of video quality, but the Hero Max has slightly better video quality than the One R. However, in terms of workflow and editing, the app is incredible and easy to use once you get the hang of it. Can't recommend enough. Please let me know your thoughts on the product and if I missed anything, or got anything wrong and needs updating. Thanks for reading!

Excellent product
As an enthusiast of action cameras and amateur vlog blogger, this modular action camera is too appetizing for me. In the process of experiencing disassembly and assembly, the functional modification of the camera is completed. Whether it is a 4k with backpack clip, panoramic with selfie stick, or even a wild accessory to find a thrilling drone perspective, this camera can meet. I was familiar with the video editing method of the app and tried it. The color, radio, and anti-shake really surprised me. I regret when I buy it! Regret buying late!!! ONE R made me believe that modularity will be the future trend of action cameras, and the modular design will make each user's firmware update more personalized and convenient. I hope I can take ONE R to unlock and record more special experiences!

Best 360 action camera (even with it's defects)
Pros: The iOS app for this camera is hands down the best full-featured app out there for reframing 360 videos quickly. Orders of magnitudes better than GoPro Max in terms of the ease of editing, key-framing and deep tracking features. The timelapse feature with the motion blur also look very cool! The battery life on this thing was also decent in low temperatures. I was able to record over 30 minutes of footage over 50 minutes of usage around 40° F / 4°C Cons: The device by itself was underwhelming. The unit I received was unfortunately defective. The touchscreen was unresponsive and the camera froze up intermittently and the only way to reset it was to detach the battery. Insta360 support was helpful and asked me to ship it in for a warranty repair but it was a slow process and so I decided to return. Despite all these issues, I would recommend this product in a heartbeat if they fix the hardware issues.

Best purchase I've made!
Have already brought this out and used on a chest mount more than a few times already and I absolutely love it! Yes it does get hot over time of being used I believe GoPro does it as well. I've compared this to GoPro's cameras and have decided on this OneR camera due to the fact its reliable to shoot and record. Just make sure you have a fast read & write speed micro SD card. I've had one which is a 256GB Sandisk UHS-I V30 for my drone and switched it over to the OneR makes a huge difference. Batteries I would highly recommend upgrading to the boosted (if you don't care about waterproofing) or buy extra batteries $90 for two extra and fast charger in which I did because it will keep the camera waterproof and my batterybacks will charge my batteries while im using the others! Camera shoots very well. Very steady and has its own app for editing before hitting post. Cool thing too is that it all stays in the camera! Microphone can be improved but its not terrible audio surprisingly. I still use an external mic on this but If I forgot to bring my external mic I wouldn't be upset about the audio on board. General things about the camera - Its modular! Its price is still hanging on tight so that means its worth it! Still continues to get major updates and I'm pretty sure any upgraded cameras would be parts if you have the brain and battery or be a big bundle for first timers!
