![]() Swipe left from the right of the screen to configure your chosen shooting mode and for manual controls. Swipe left or right from the middle of the screen to choose from a generous range of shooting modes. Swipe down from the top of the LCD screen to configure the camera. Turn the camera on with a single press of the power button. The camera charges pretty quickly at around 10W with the supplied USB cable, taking just over a full hour for a complete charge. Insta360 does have the optional Boosted Battery Base which also has these folding fingers and brings it more in line with GoPro, but without the ruggedness. But although it’s pretty easy sliding the camera in and out of the case, it’s not as convenient to use as a GoPro that requires no frame and has its integrated and replaceable folding fingers mount, but that’s a sacrifice of the unique modular design of this camera. With the mounting frame the camera is waterproof to 5m and it does provide some additional protection too. It would be nice if this bracket was included. This bracket also fits the 4K Boost lens without the mounting frame. The frame also accepts Insta360’s cold shoe bracket for attaching accessories like microphones and mini LED lights. But there is an adapter so you can still use any accessories like their Invisible Selfie Stick range that use the ¼” mount. The frame has the standard GoPro mount, not the ¼” mount of Insta360’s ONE X2 and GO 2. The camera slides into the mounting frame which locks shut from the side. You need this door reinstalled and locked shut for the camera to be waterproof. To reattach it you just push the plastic arm back into the hole. You can pull off the door which does make things a little easier. I sometimes have to resort to using plastic tweezers – especially if the camera’s in its mounting frame. It’s all very fiddly and if you have short fingernails, removing the microSD card can be difficult. It needs a fingernail to unlock this door, and insert and release a microSD card. The side of the Core module has a locking door that reveals the USB-C port and microSD card slot. You can see the camera’s dimensions and weight with the 360 and 1” lens above. The GoPro Hero 10 weighs just under 153g. It weighs just under 126g with the 4K lens without this frame and 160g with the frame. But all the modules feel very well made and there’s no play even without the mounting frame. ![]() But you won’t have any way to mount it, and it’ll be lacking any waterproofing. The camera can be used like this, without its mounting frame. The battery can only be attached one way around with its charging pins matching the Core module’s. The battery then clips onto the bottom holding everything together and there’s a latch to release the battery. ![]() Unfortunately unlike the latest GoPro’s there is only one screen so you will have to switch around this configuration as needed. Reattaching the 4K Boost lens, you can connect it either way depending on whether you want the LCD screen facing you for selfie shots or not. The 360 lens does need to be connected the right way around – with the battery mounting slots on the bottom. ![]() If you want to swap to the 360 lens, just pull the Core module with the LCD screen from the 4K Boost lens and connect the 360 lens. The bundles are pretty good value compared to GoPro accessories but you can also just use any GoPro accessories you may already have. It would make even more sense to include one with the modular design of this camera.Īnd you don’t get any mounts included unless you opt for one of their bundles. There’s no included hard case like you get with GoPro cameras. There’s also a silicone 360 lens cover, a GoPro to ¼” adapter, a getting started manual and a lens cloth. Inside the box you get the ONE RS Core already attached to the 4K Boost lens, the 360 lens, the battery, an USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and the mounting bracket. If you don’t already have a 360 camera, this is the option I’d recommend. I’m testing the Twin Edition which comes with both the 4K action cam lens and the 360 lens. The Insta360 ONE RS is a modular camera and a few configurations are available to purchase. 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. 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. This upgraded model from Insta360 has a faster processor and a new 4K lens with a ½” 48 MP sensor. It comes in a compact package with a very capable accompanying smartphone app that makes it easy to edit your footage – particularly important if you capture with the 360 lens. 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.
