Insta360 One RS

Built-in Flowstate video stabilization Flexible modular design Good value for money Excellent way to get started shooting 360 video Upgradeable system promises longevity Great software and app integration

Can’t shoot 4K at 120 fps Fully assembled camera is bulky 360 camera resolution is best suited for small screens

“The Insta360 ONE RS is the best you can buy to gain entry into the 360-degree camera space and the fact that it's modular means it will last for years to come.”

Modular system continues to offer a great range of shooting options. Partial, modular upgrades available. Image stabilization now built in. AI-driven editing makes stitching 360-degree footage simple. Much improved case design for faster lens switching.

Slightly bulkier than a GoPro.

Personally, since I export video at 4K anyway (sometimes 1080p), the video quality trade-off is negligible. If you want 360 video, get this camera. It's the best of both worlds. Assuming you want both worlds, of course.

Compact design Swappable lens modules Waterproof to 16 feet Stabilized 4K60 and 5.7K 360 video HDR available at 4K30 2:35 wide-screen mode Mobile and desktop app support

In-camera mics disappoint outdoors Modular design can get in the way Small touch LCD Battery only good for 75 minutes of 4K Heat can limit long-form recordings

The Insta360 One RS has a modular design that unlocks more creative possibilities than most action cams.

Lets you easily switch camera types Excellent video editing app Good battery life

Bulky Video quality not quite as good as GoPro Hero10

Unless something unprecedented happens in the world of action cameras, it’s hard to see any company topping GoPro’s annual innovations. In creating a different kind of action camera — one whose lenses you can swap out for a 360 camera — and pairing it...

6K 360-footage looks incredible ; A genuine competitor to the GoPro Max ; Cutting-edge stabilisation ; Easy editing in the Insta360 app

Eye-watering price ; Screen-tearing evident when zooming in

Arriving with high-end features such as 6K capture and near-flawless stabilisation, not to mention the ease with which you can edit all your 360 footage in the accompanying app, the Insta360 One RS 1-inch 360 Edition is a marvel. It’s held back by an...

The modular concept provides a great all-in-one design ; Video and image quality is (largely) excellent ; Fast file transmission ; Lots of tutorials inside the app

The screen is just too small ; FlowState stabilisation can’t compete with GoPro

In the One RS, Insta360 has finally shown why its modular concept is worth sticking with. The upgraded kit allows for better looking video and stills, plus the fact that it’s all backwards compatible with the One R is a huge boon for consumers. While...

Good in-camera stabilization Sharp-looking 4K video Surprisingly intuitive interface

Tiny preview screen Minor image quality issues Limited slo-mo capabilities

The One RS brings Insta360's modular action camera up to date with improved image quality and a superior workflow to its predecessor. It's a slight shame about the small screen, but otherwise the One RS' price makes it a fine alternative to its GoPro...

Best consumer 360 camera image quality ; Excellent image stabilisation and levelling

No high frame rate recording ; Disappointing internal mic ; Quite expensive

The best consumer 360 cam for image quality; just don’t mistake it for an action cam

Excellent FlowState image stabilisation ; Adaptable modular design ; Small and lightweight ; Clever software tricks with app

Middling image quality ; Minuscule touchscreen

Thanks to some meaningful improvements, the One RS remains an adaptable alternative to the GoPro Hero 10
