Insta360 X3 vs GoPro MAX: The Destruction of GoPro?

Very strange ... When insta wins her plus one ball. And when Max wins both one point.👎👎👎

W większości kategorii dla mnie wygrało GoPro. Bardzo stronniczy test.

The chromatic aberration effect on the 2 labels hurt my eyes ;()

I have a GoPro Hero 9 and Insta360 X3. I agree X3 is fragile (the lenses!!), and you can’t let it fall or you fall with it. But my main concern with it is the lighting. I film a lot at sunset. The X3 is pretty bad and that’s so disappointing. How does the GoPro 360 do? I also feel like my GoPro takes higher quality and easier to see video of my son wakeboarding etc with me in the boat. The x3 I couldnt make out it was him really. I don’t know how to improve that.

I was considering getting the Insta360 next level up but I’m afraid I will ruin the lense(s) - my current one has a small crack. I wish we could replace those. I like GoPro I haven’t needed to replace anything yet but I have their plan in case I do someday.

Thanks for a broad and useful review!

👍🇰🇭9

Have you taken the safety of data and privacy into consideration?

love this comparison format

go pro is go pro

I stop watching when I saw the collor of both cameras. The less I do is better related to edit

The best was insta360 x3🎉

Very nice comparison of these two cameras. I agree with most of your assessment. However, the one area where I disagree strongly is your assessment of low light performance. I believe the Max is a clear winner in this category. I just spent the last two days comparing an Insta 360 X3 with my three year old GoPro Max. I found that the X3 performance in low light was poor and seemed to contain much more noise. Although you didn't mention the fact that the X3 has a built in HDR option, a great feature under some conditions such as bright sunlight, I did find that one should never activate this mode in low to moderate light conditions. Even in standard mode my X3 performed poorly compared to my older GoPro Max indoors in dim light. In very low light conditions, the HDR video was totally unusable.

Fair assesment and a great video. Extreemly helpfull.

I have now drowned my third X2, will go for the inferior GoPro because i don't see the shitty design of the battery closing is fixed on X3... For windsurfing Insta360 can not handle my abuse🤷 I will miss the Insta app and software....

The Insta 360 cannot handle water

What the fuck is wrong with the footage of GoPro MAX? It seems blurry all the time. The footage can't be at 4k. Obviously you did something to it.

Thanks for the comparison

Merci beaucoup for this really good comparative video 😊 It's really helpful to see the differences beetween this two 360 cameras

Obrigada pelas verdades ditas 💜💜💜

The resolution comparison as well as others are a bit disingenuous. The gopro was obviously zoomed much further than the insta360. A bit suspicious honestly there is zero reason to zoom/crop the GoPro more

I have the same result as you except for the color preference. I prefer the x3 color quality, it has the feel and impression i have with the old GoPro against other competitor back in the days. Looks like GoPro has a very tough competitor now. If I were to buy a 360cam now, no doubt it would be the x3. Thanks for the review.

I have recently bought a GoPro Max, but the software is absolutely useless... Player, Studio, Quik, whatever it is or was called, it doesn't work. At least not on photos.
Is there any software that can open a 360 photo??

It would be interesting to know options on voice commands. What are available and how well they work ?. I have a go pro 9 and use voice commands all time to start stop recording, power on / off etc. Does the X3 & max do this ?

I have both the Insta360 X3 and the GoPro Max. I 100% agree the app is way better on the Insta360. And I'm going to keep using the Insta360 over the GoPro because of this reason. Let me explain:

I started recording my hour-long cycling rides recently. When extracting the Insta360 videos to a 1080p format, I can utilize the AUTOMATIC tracking feature that tries to keep the camera facing the forward traveling direction which is what I want. The Insta360 does this very nicely although not perfect.

Today when I tried doing something similar with the GoPro, extracting a 1080p video from the 360 footage, it didn't work. I couldn't find any automatic tracking feature. Both the Android app and the Windows app couldn't really do what I wanted to do. The best thing it can offer me that can make it work is the OverCapture feature. BUT I would have to review all 50 minute footage and manually track it the entire time. This to me is the deal-breaker. What if I had a 2 hour video to export? I don't want to manually track all 2 hours.

With that said. Software is everything. You can have the best hardware but if the software isn't helping to make things intuitive and help me to create content easily then it's not very useful. Until GoPro can catch up to all the software features and neat-tricks that Insta360 is giving me, I'm sticking with the Insta360 family.

TL;DR I much rather stick with Insta360 because of software superiority in editing and exporting.

Insta 360 X2 or GoPro Max?

Question - the Insta360 is much taller. If mounted on a helmet, it appears to be much more difficult to avoid having it hit by a ski lift protective bar, compared to the GoPro. Is that a concern?

Funny, I'm actually experiencing ALOT of reliability issues with my x3 barely starts up and always crashes. Sent it back they send the mother board was damaged? My gopro on the other has is flawless

Excellent work!

Erasing selfies stick - GoPro does a better job, but I give both cameras 1 point.
Stabilization - GoPro holds better stabilized video, but I give a point to Insta camera.
Low light - GoPro have a much brighter image in low light, but I give point to Insta camera.
Ease of use for the app - bla bla bla, but I definitely give a point to Insta camera.

What a review :D

I realy like your video, its very useful thank you 🙏🏻

What mount are you using? I've NEVER done a look-back video like you showed at the started and I want to try. Are you using the "Unicorn Mount?"

why do u talk like ur moms gonna walk in any minute and tell u to get off the computer

Thanks for your comparison. You did a great job!

The GoPro colors look nicer to me I don’t own any but I actually looks better in everything but low light

Lots of butthurt GoPro users in denial

If gopro came out with the max2, it would shit on insta360!

GoPro is shit...software frozen sometimes!
Starting the production but now much better action cameras have in the market!

Go pro max is a lot better than that Insta 360 looks better sharper

Excellent comparison! Points to the GPM for being a 3-year old camera now competing with a brand new one and still coming out on top in some respects.

The Max is 2-3 years older. I’m really hoping that GoPro can get the Max 2 out!! I really want one, but don’t want to get the Max since it is so old.

How did you record the audio in the studio? What mic did you use? Thanks

GoPro Max 💯💯💯

go pro is piece of shat joke, useless crash king of software make gopro 360 a one big piece of junk .

Very good comparison between the two video cameras. Now I know what to buy. Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

good comparison. convinced me

Broo, i just bought GoPro Max in 2022! Honestly I like my Max more, since with its small screen plus it size and square size makes it more friendly when you have a 3Kg case Drone on your Backpack, I aint rich, I just like buying camera Gear when I can to get into Creator Content Bussiness! Honestly, you dont need the best in terms of Hardware, a 360 camera is already a game changer for video and vacations! Mine was a little overpriced, but for now is a little more cheaper!
