360 VR Video With The Insta360 X3 Action Camera


360 VR Video With The Insta360 X3 Action Camera

360 VR video is one of the most immersive ways to view video either through a headset or on a smartphone / tablet.

The new Insta360 X3 action camera with its 5.7K resolution in 360 mode captures fantastic 360 VR video footage as this video shows. 

The video was filmed in November on a cold winter’s day in sunny conditions with little off shore wind. The location is Portsmouth harbor in Hampshire which provides plenty of interesting sites to film in 360 VR.

360 VR Video Settings

I use these settings after extensive tests with the Insta360 X3 for producing 360 VR video.

  • Sharpness: Low
  • Bit Rate: High
  • Resolution: 5.7K
  • Frame Rate: 30 frames per second
  • EV: -0.5
  • White Balance: 5600K

Accessories Used For Filming

Quite simply I used  just the Insta360 invisible selfie stick with the X3 for this particular VR video. 

A quality selfie stick is an essential for 360 cameras and Insta360 makes some of the best selfie sticks out there. 

This includes the 3 meter extended selfie stick. I’ll be uploading numerous videos onto YouTube filmed using the 3 meter stick over the coming weeks and months.

I hope you enjoy this short VR video. If you get chance, Portsmouth is a great day out, especially when the weather is favourable.
