You deserve so many more subscribers. Your videos are epic and I really enjoy them. Thanks for sharing this video. It’s a great camera.
That’s very kind mate. Muchas gracias !🙏
Brilliant, I need one of these now! Thanks for dropping some knowledge on us, Dave. Every day is a school day. Your channel is mega! You deserve 10X the subscribers and views 🔝🎬🎥🆒 Cheers from 🇨🇦
I’ll take that Mike! Thanks bud
Another brilliant vid Dave. Very kind to share your vast knowledge! I like the look of that long pole and it's mount.....🤔
Thanks Tim. The range of accessories are superb for this cam and the pole is so much more discreet than the traditional selfie stick.
Keep up the tech vids Dave its definately helpin me understand the rigmarole you blokes go through to give us a view of what you have to do to produce vids Cheers Glenn.
Cheers Glenn, I suppose it’s one area where I know what I’m talking about.🤔🤪
What a great little box of tricks! So versatile! Congratulations on gaining a 1000 subs Having broken through the 5k barrier,(which I knew you would) your subs will go through the 10k barrier in no time at all. Yippee 👏
Thanks Trev! And you’ve been with me from the start buddy. 🙏🏍
The best review I saw
Great review as always dave , may be on the to get list for my NC500 trip in june
Thanks Dale. Would love to do the NC500.
Great review as always 👍🏻 intrigued by the garage and chesterfield setup also! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Rob. I might reveal the garage one day.🤫🤔
@@WheelieGoodTV like the setup on your helmet with the rode Rx. How is the mic? I found the previous rode mic was too sensitive.
@@BikesVansandThings yes it certainly is borderline with distortion. It has distorted a few times on the RS660 but is perfect on the GS.
Neat review Dave 🙂I think I'd want a 128Gb version before I bit the bullet on one of these, but they are very neat, and great you can charge them whilst recording!
Enjoyable and informative review, Dave. I'm happy enough myself with the One X2 at the moment (I'm not a vlogger) but will wait for the next version to see what changes. I do wish they'd enable loop recording on the One X2 though.
Thanks Edward. New Insta camera announced next week!
Super informative Fam. Great job breaking things down.
Thanks man.
That Rod mount is 🔥🔥
Great content as always!
Appreciated buddy 🙏
Another great video! I need to up my game
Thanks bud
Great review, I thought you had a 100k subscribers. I have this camera and the one X2 and the one X2 is really nice. This one seems to have unique uses, but I have had glitches with it and overheating.
Interesting about the overheating Doug. I’ll be keeping a close eye on mine.
That was such a good review I now want one even though I don’t need it 😆
Superb bit of kit !
I’m like that too Adrian. 🤫😜🤣👍
Wow the tap to record feature is 💪🏾
❤️
Great review. You are as good in front of the camera as you are behind it!
😊Blushing Ken. Thanks man.
Great share Fam 🤙🏾🔥
Thanks buddy
Let’s Go!!! 🤙🏾🔥
I’m on the way!
Man I love that bike 🔥🔥
So do I 😜
Brilliant review,I got a lot out of it even for a camera numpty like me.Obviously your forte.Would be great if you could do a video editing tutorial of one of your bike vids for us buding bikers/vloggers sometime 🤞
Thanks Darren. I’ve been asked to do the editing vid for a while now so I’ll definitely get around to it. 👍🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV Thanks a million,luck forward to it
Loving your videos. I bought the insta go 2 over a year ago and loved it so much I bought a 2nd one. I got a bunch of different mounts/accessories but found I really only used 1. The magnetic pendant on my chest while riding the motorcycle is so convenient and pull it off to film something even while riding is so easy at the time i thought it was one of the most useful camera's ever made. Sadly (Im not techy) both seemed to crap out at the same time. Multiple bugs/issues with not charging, battery dying fast and the camera's shutting off for who knows what reason. Its a shame. I have the 32gb versions so maybe yours doesn't have similar issues. I live in the philippines tropical hot weather and I can tell you for sure both of these things over heat a lot if you A: If I Don't ride at some speed on the motorcycle or B: If I Film in the highest quality video. 1080P is what i always set it too because if i didn't id end up with it overheating over and over. The haptic feedback when the camera shuts off is great feature though. I finally got so pissed off just tossed them in a drawer 4 months ago. Maybe i'll pull them out to try bring them back from the dead. Truly a million things you can do with these tiny camera's. Maybe as useful as 360 camera's in there own way. BTW I bought the silly dog mount also but never got around to testing it on my dogo.
Hi Mark, sorry to hear about the problems you had with both cameras. I have the 64gb version and never had any of those problems but then I suspect it’s a lot cooler here in Ireland compared to the Philippines.
Whilst it’s superb in so many ways mainly because of its size, I’ve realised that the quality isn’t up to it for the main camera doing what I do. Still, it has its own uses. Cheers for getting in touch. Dave. 👍🏍🎥
Thanks for the video, very interesting.
Just out of interest - what is that in the tree behind you at 4:24? Is it a big bird?
I had to go and check that!😃 I think its a cat. 🤔👌
aigo-Omg-that is excellent ~ 🤠
Thanks 🙏
Looks an excellent little camera, I'm certainly considering one. As you know I'm a massive insta fan and the wife and I have used two Insta 360onex2 cameras to record our joint motorcycle tour and explore on the island of Madeira.
I'm knocked out by the quality of the footage we've bought back. Both cameras worked faultlessly all week. I'm just not going back to Gopro. Our joint audio with the Rode wireless Go2 also worked great, looking forward to sharing the first edited footage next Saturday. I'm only just an amateur film maker vlogger so would definitely value any feedback if you do get chance to give it a look.
Best wishes Richard
I share your feelings about GoPro Richard.👍🎥
I’d love one. It’s such a clever design. GoPro have stagnated with sticking to their usual format. What they need to do is bring out an updated version of the session 5.
Totally agree Matthew!
Loved your review. Do you think it would stay put within the cradle on the sticky mount through an rally raid stage?
Thanks, yes I do. It’s a very strong fix.
Dave have you been to Sicily yet I enjoyed the summer there a couple years ago.

Hawaii
Nope, I had to postpone that trip this year because of work commitments but hopefully soon.👍🏍
Hi Dave, again highly appreciated what you are sharing! Today I enjoyed my RS 660 on 90 km road-trip around Nuremberg where I am living. I gave my yellow Italian dream bike a name - from now on SHE is known as LUCIA 😎😍
Currently I am focusing on improving my riding skills but having one week off soon I like to setup my equipment in similar manner you did. I have a question as you are as well using the Rode Wireless Go System. How have you mounted the Rode boxes #1 to the Insta360 and #2 safely to your helmet shown in the video. I would get nervous 😩 loosing them on a ride. Can you please share some hints.
Thanks my friend + save riding!

Hi Mike, great name for the bike! I do still use the Rode system but only on my adventure helmet with the GS and the CRF bikes. I use the bracket you can purchase from Insta to mount the receiver to the Insta One X2 and never had a problem, it’s rock solid. I bought a Smallrig cold shoe mount from Amazon which I screwed and glued to the side of my helmet for the TX to clip on to and again never had a problem. It’s a great system. Saying that, whilst this system works for me, it might not suit everyone. Best to experiment and improvise your own setup really. Good luck.👍🏍🎥
Morning Dave, can it be set up to charge from the bike ? I wouldn't mind recording some of my trips just to look back over myself but as you said the battery life is limited. This seems like a small and easily usable camera.
Hi Dylan, yes there is a USB mount for the camera now so you can keep it plugged in permanently from the power supply on your bike or what I do now which is just using a power bank in my jacket pocket.
I am using insta 360 One R for Motovlogging and have found it extremely useful, although this cam too has its positives.
The only drawback with insta 360 one r, is changing the batteries and small buttons at the side especially with gloves on.
Secondly, its weight which doesn't help the invisible stick remain in its place for long
All in all, insta has taken the action cam scene altogether on to a different level
Looking forward to getting my hands on one.🎥
Can this be mounted on the side of the helmet instead of the front? Left side helmet is our helmet comms, and looking at this or Drift Xl cam. Just want something small and not bulky.
Hi Angie, this would be perfect for that. Don’t forget the recording times are quite limited though. 👍
I have my Insta360 One RS as my secondary cam mounted on my bike, and my Insta360 Go 2 as my main cam on my helmet. I don't talk, more like doing montages of places I've been so battery life isn't really my issue on it. I strictly keep my recording at 30s only per scene (and also you can turn down the idle duration to 180seconds to save battery)
Sounds like a nice simple setup that.👍🎥
"It has more professional features than I have"
Crazy how these apps have so much control over these products. Super convenient.
It works great too.
Great review, really value your thoughts on it given your background. I've been watching a channel called Marc Travels and he uses these on his touring videos. I think it does a great job.
Thanks. Yes I know that channel too and is very knowledgeable.
How many charges will it accept before you have to throw it away?
i shouldn't have clicked this video! now you have me pondering the possibilites of this small camera for my motovlogs too!
'this camera has more professional features than I do...' --- but does it have your sense of humor?
🤣🤣👍🙏
Of you are a newbie on a budget and will have to choose 1 camera you think x2 will be fine for all around?
Nope. I would get a GoPro 8 or if you want the 360 luxury then the Insta One R.
@@WheelieGoodTV thanks man. how bout the RS? Whats the difference
@@MrRGM10 absolutely RS if your budget will stretch. It’s incredible and my review comes out a week on Saturday of that camera.
Is it good enough for your main or sole camera ?
Hi Nick, the short answer is no. Several reasons including recording time, battery time and the fact I can’t input separate sound wouldn’t make it an main cam. Perfect as a B cam though.
I have *INSTA360 GO, the first one,* it's very good, but since *I don't have a compatible mobile phone,* taking videos from there is a massacre. *Is there any way to take the videos from INSTA360 GO the first camera to the Windows PC and then work the image there?* If anyone can help, I appreciate it. I love the camera.
🤗
Yea absolutely. Plug in the supplied lead to your PC and open up like you would with a hard drive.
@@WheelieGoodTV
I installed insta360 studio, and I was finally able to export the videos., very grateful, I didn't even know that insta360 studio was free for users, it just asked me for the camera code and gave it to me.
I am very grateful, thank you very much 🙏. I really love the insta360 cameras.
🤗✌️
Is it 360 ° recording camera??
No it’s not. It’s wide enough to reframe in the edit but not 360.
How’s the quality
Good enough for KRplus but not broadcast.
@@WheelieGoodTV right on
Yikes on the battery life. Feel like that’s the biggest downfall for all the cameras we use.
Yes I’m even powering the GoPros with a power bank now.
🐔 😁👍
Cluck cluck! …
Wow that thing is tiny
That’s what she said.
@@WheelieGoodTV 👀😂
This camera seems not usable if you want to record more than 30min video during the day and it's not the case of battery life but memory (3omin only in pro mode) and video download speeds. I see reports from user that 5-10min clip takes over 1 hour to download to your mobile wirelessly.. No way anyone will use this camera to record a motorcycle trip unless they are fine with approx. 2h footage per day and taking laptop with you to download footage in the evening which would be ridiculous to carry a laptop on a motorcycle trip :)
Yes that’s correct. It’s not a camera to capture your entire journey but more to capture the highlights. Transferring wirelessly on any camera in fairness is a waste of time so I always use cable for instant transfer. The 64gb version is the only model to buy so you can maximise recording time. Yes it does have pros and cons but that’s the same with any camera. It doesn’t sound like this is for you?🤔🎥
🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks again John.
