You will need a decent memory card for the camera to be able to record imagery of the highest quality, but this can be improved by reducing the resolution to 4K. The battery performance on the One X is excellent, with around 60 minutes of filming time with the Wi-Fi turned on. This is significant than comparable cameras, and most users have stated that this is a fair estimate.

Overall, the performance of this sports camera is excellent, but there have also been some suggestions that the quality does diminish slightly in low light conditions. Several reviewers online have stated that on overcast days, we do lose the detail to some extent.

This can be addressed in the editing room, and the accompanying app and software for the Insta3650 One X ensures that you can completely manipulate the footage to create the effect that you desire. Ensuring that you can complete even the most advanced tasks, the software allows for complete customization of your content.

There have been some issues reported online regarding the camera's connectivity, with some reviewers stating that their phone did not always recognize the device. This camera is definitely better suited to more high-end smartphones, with older models struggling a little bit.

The One X also comes with a cable to transfer files; this is much faster than a wireless transfer and has been celebrated by fans. Insta360 also have an app for Mac and PC but it is definitely not as comprehensive as the app for your phone or tablet, and some have suggested that improved desktop editing software would further allow for better user experience. However, Insta360 is continually adding new features and updating their software options, and this has been improved recently.

The Insta360 is a flexible and versatile piece of kit that has the potential to create so many different effects.

You will use the buttons to start and stop recording and also navigate through the menus on the display screen. It can take a little time to figure it all out, but the camera comes with clear instructions, and it is a simple enough design. However, it should also be noted that some reviews have suggested that it can be challenging to read the display on the One X in particularly bright conditions.

You can easily manage everything through the app on your smartphone, and you can even see what the camera is seeing; allowing for in-camera editing before you take your picture or shoot your video.

The camera can connect to your phone using either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but Insta360 also comes with a cable for speedy transfers. Insta 360 provides you with a wide selection of different cables so that you will have the right one for your device. Although most users have reported that the user-friendliness is good, there have been some problems when the user is connecting the camera to an older smartphone.

If this is an issue, you can always reduce the resolution for improved compatibility.

The Insta360 One X features a streamlined pill shape design, elongated with a flattened base that means it can stand up on flat surfaces.

The Insta360 One X is an update on the One, which was released back in 2017. The One was widely acclaimed as being an excellent sports camera, and the X features all of the same features, as well as some added upgrades. The most significant updates to this device have to be the 4k to 5.7k resolution, resulting in sharp video and top-notch picture clarity.

It also has a higher bit rate, at 70 Mbps in comparison to the original 40Mbps. As a result, the One X is slightly larger than the previous One, but they have also recently reconfigured the lenses.

Invisible Selfie Stick: I would definitely recommend a selfie stick as this does allow for a complete shot, and the camera will completely remove the stick from the image. It is a lightweight and robust stick and available for an affordable price.

Venture Case: If you are looking to use your phone in the outdoors often, the venture case is a tough and durable protective cover that will look after your camera.

Dive Case: If you are want to film underwater, the Dive case is a necessity. This also includes the use of spherical lenses to negate issues regarding water refraction.

Drifter: A slightly unusual accessory that offers a unique camera angle, the Drifter is a throwable case that is fun to use. It is particularly awesome when paired with slo-mo, but users have suggested that this is probably more of a niche accessory.

Bullet Time: You use this to achieve the Matrix-style bullet time effect. Just attach your camera and spin it above your head for this unusual video style.

Remote: If you would like to use your camera from a distance, there is also a Bluetooth remote available.

It is difficult to decipher the reviews for the Insta3650 One X because the company has already addressed so many of the issues that are highlighted online in one of their many improvements. This Chinese upstart company is dedicated to ensuring that this camera provides picture perfection, and there have been various firmware and software updates that have attempted to address any limitations.

Overall, if you are looking for a camera that offers exceptional quality, this compact sports camera from Insta360 has been jam-packed with the latest technologies. It is considered by some to the best, and the advanced features of this device set it out from the rest of the pack.
