In this video Rich from Eat Sleep 360 compares the insta360 x3 with the gopro 11 – which one is the best action camera?
Found myself revisiting this video after recently selling my x3. Had full intension of purchasing x4 only to find insta360 have removed ability to send gps data and control camera from Apple Watch. Started me re-thinking about whether I really need another 360 or whether I’d be better off with a GoPro 11 or 12. The main issue I found is having lots of 10-20minute clips saved off but never having edited/reframed them. Just so time consuming. Bad enough cutting and tweaking 10 minutes of a standard flat file let alone having to reframe the video as well. Love the idea of 360 cameras and you can get some great shots (plus it can be fun initially editing and reframing). But I could get a GoPro 11 and DJI mini 4k drone for price of the insta360 x4 with an as card and selfie stick now! (And have footage I could immediately watch and use!)
The X3 is good at capturing everything. But if I want quality then I will use a GoPro and point my camera (which is fairly easy to do most of the time) because it produces a clearer image.
The go pro is hopeless with wind noise. If you like wind noise get go pro. Plus the out of box set up was awful. Go pro is ok if there’s no wind.
I have the x3 and found i was spending far too much time reframing in the editing.
I have 2 gopro 7’s.
My wife films and I film
Then i take the best of that for the final edit.
Admittedly you have to be mindful of what you capture..
This saves me so much time.
Great video as always.
Thanks
I just bought the an X3 to video recording my parrots flying with me on the motorcycle. Incredible upgrade since I no longer need to focus on keeping the camera facing the birds and keeping the bike on the trail. https://youtu.be/8tbSrjX2-ww
Thank you!
If you already own a 360, you DONT need to buy a GoPro, because there is a built-in 150° Camera with usable mp4 export files with no need to reframe afterwards!
in insta360 ,whenever i export vdos in 1080p or more, later when i upload in social medias its resolution decrease. what to do. help me plz

GoPro makes a 360 camera…
Non! The answer is Sony x3000
Awesome video! It’s fascinating to see how these two cameras compare. Aegent Technologies offers wearable 360° cameras like the NEXX360 that might be of interest to your viewers—perfect for those who want to capture all angles in a completely hands-free setup!
You’re absolutely right. I spend a lot of time editing insta360. But it’s worthwhile.
I bought 2 GoPro hero 7 blacks in 2019 for motovlog. It is now 2024 and they are very unreliable – freeze, turn off by self, over heat. Also, I bough 3 Hero 8 Blacks, 1 in 2021 and 2 in 2022. All three of those do not work anymore – they flat out stopped working. One hero 8, after being on for 20 seconds, like clock work, repeatedly cycles on and off. The other two freeze after running about 1 minute. I am done with GoPros. All three do not give me any quality recording time. Thinking about getting DJI Action camera.
I wonder what the laws are in the US or UK because in Belgium to can stick 50 cm something out from the back and NOTHING from the front of youre bike . 😁😁👍👍
Here I’ll let you guys know in one post: 360 cameras video quality isn’t as good but you gain the ability to reframe after..
take your pick, if you know your going to shoot well and get the right angles and framing correct then you’ll be better off with a standard GoPro. If you want a set and forget then get a 360.
Also note that a 360 camera is more work to clip and edit in post.
😂Destroy it all!!!! Thank you for this full transparency video.
Can I use insta 360×3 to record my full court basketball games if attached to a tripod?
I’ll still go with the insta360 one RS cuz I have multiple options for one camera
Thankssss a ton for making this video!!! I own a GoPro 11, & all these “cool” videos of the 360. But, here’s getting to the point! Thanks!
Very Simple
Select single lens mode on Insta 360 x3 Or the new x4.
It becomes go pro.
Just render the footage out from insta software as. MP4 and use your favourite software for editing.
like it
I feel you get a very gimmicky footage with 360 cameras…
is the insta360 not more expensive ?
Gopro is a POS
Great video 🙂
What do you think about the Mevo start cam??
I don’t think that "No One Tells You About THIS". The fact that 360 needs some post-process is mentioned in almost any review video. I’d say that marketing of 360 cameras is bit twisted. Majority of people want/expect to record video and send it directly to social networks and insta360 marketing tries to follow that trend.
For me, recording video is just start of the process. I actually like to do post-process, so I’m looking more for cameras allowing things like D-log videos and raw photos rather than "fancy" mobile apps allowing for instant sharing. So, as usual, depends on customer’s taste… I’d not buy 360 camera as "instant" result thing. But with proper post process (and I do not agree that learning curve is "steep". That might be caused by the fact that I’m in photo/video for a while) 360 can provide interesting results.
Great review – I get asked which is better all the time too – I think I’ll send them this link instead of answering, but you are right, both have their pros & cons!! One thing I really like about my X3 is the "set and forget" factor…as long as it’s on and recording it captures EVERYTHING, so I can focus on riding and having fun and not being cameraman.
Helpful video!
That’s my thoughts exactly. On location, I’m in flow, picking the shots for the edit. But with the 360 shot, I’m not at home wondering what shot to edit. To the point that I’ve not edited any holiday vids. The moment has gone. So the edit when done is not the same.
Really informative. Been struggling to decide which is best option for motorcycle touring but this has made the choice easier. Great video (going for the gopro 12 for ease of use) Thanks
go pro for sure . its been out longer and way cheaper. a lot of more attachments for it
X3 is the best camera I ever have, much much better than goPro, and dji action camera in my opinion.
Good choices and explanation
Does all insta360 has one lens option?
At one point you say that the X3 ‘has the creative edge’. I feel it depends. I plan my shots and think about what I’m going to do before I shoot. My creative bent is based on planning. Capture everything and then edit, is not how I work.
A really interesting video. Thanks
Just started using a Insta360 X3. Took videos in 180 mode (single front facing lens) at our recent match. Those mp4 videos were usable without any processing necessary. Getting up to speed on 360 videos – taken a couple of videos and getting comfortable editing.
Got this crazy thought – since smart phones have lenses front and back, why isn’t there an app that can emulate 360 video?
Or does that already exist and I’m simply behind the knowledge curve?
Um curious if they are good for filming at a slight distance – like my kids football games etc
There are different use cases for the cameras. I bought an Insta360 X3 because I want to make 360 degree HDRI images for use in 3D software. The GoPro does not do that.
When I want to take pictures for digital compositing, I use a mirrorless camera. Neither the Insta360, nor the GoPro, would be good for that.
There are use cases where the GoPro would be the better choice.
How difficult it is to edit is not really an important factor.

Beware. I bought an Insta 2. It just would not operate, over heating & shutting off continuously. I returned it under warranty & received an Insta 360 3. It did the same. I tried many high speed cards, always updated etc. I returned it & received another insta 3 replacement. It’s also absolutely unusable & I’m now convinced they are just rubbish. I tried to get assistance from Insta, nothing. I’ve 20 yrs experience with action cams, 35 yrs experience with high end DSLR & understand clearly what I’m doing. Insta are nothing but garbage ..overpriced garbage at that. I’m now about to obtain my 4th 360 & it’s def back to GoPro for me. What a waste of money & time re Insta
It does take a while to wrap your mind around not having to point a lens at something . I’ve tried quite a few times to explain the process to friends , and when they finally see what it does, you can tell they didn’t get it up to that point. The word "framing" becomes irrelevant.
You’ll also likely need a PC upgrade to do 360 editing. I ended up getting a gaming laptop, to avoid having to build a PC that could handle the job. If you’re scared of China and tick tock, be scared of this too. It’s not just the software, the app is required to be on your phone to turn the camera off and on. It does not function unless you give it every single permission it asks for.. even the ones that really shouldn’t need.
Definitely not as user-friendly as most things have become
So what would people choose ? I’ve just got in to cameras the last few months using them on my bike . After using a camera from 2018 I want to step it up to something a lot newer and these are the exact 2 I’ve short listed .
Which is better battery ? Which is better for catching sunrises and sunsets while riding ?
To be fair from what I’m seeing is that GoPro has been around longer to fine tune the resolution and quality after it’s many successes where it has the money to put forth what it has over time. Now that X3 was on the scene GoPro has competition to push itself harder and I wouldn’t doubt it’ll do 360 at some point and it may start off bumpy cause it’s not familiar with the tech but we’ll see.
Thank you for the comparisons. For in doors, I probably should continue using my iPhone 14 Pro but get a 360 for outdoors. Can you get an external mic for the Insta360?
I would like buy becouse make 360 Videos. If i need normal format i have lot of cameras,
I was on the fence about purchasing a 360 for our vacations. This helped me decide that the 360 would not be a good option for me. I simply do not want to spend any more time editing than I already do with my GoPro. Thank you SO MUCH!
Great Video, answered the issue I have been struggling with
Excellent primer.
