The Insta360 ONE RS is a modular action camera that lets you quickly swap between a standard wide angle lens and a 360 degree lens: insta360.com/sal/one_rs?insrc=INRT7JX (FREE Free Insta360 ONE RS battery only with this link, valued at £30 for a limited time! This link is an affiliate link which costs you nothing extra and helps support non-sponsored detailed reviews like this.)
The camera comes with a very capable accompanying smartphone app that makes it easy to edit your footage - particularly important if you capture with the 360 lens.
This upgraded model from Insta360 has a faster processor and a new 4K lens with a ½” 48 MP sensor. I’ll test both this new lens and the 360 lens mountain biking, road cycling, running and I’ll even attach it to a 50 mph RC car. And I’ll see how it compares to a GoPro Hero 10 to try and find out if it’s the right action camera for you.
