We reviewed the use of the Insta360 One R for capturing paragliding footage in issue 216 (Dec 2020 – Jan 2021) of Cross Country Magazine. We've also been filming with the One R and the previously released One X for our wing reviews and social media. Here is a selection of shots so you can see it in action.

You can buy the cameras using the following links and get free accessories (using these links will also support our channel)
