What we don't like about Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360 Edition

  • Premium price point, making it expensive compared to other action cameras
  • Limited water resistance (IPX3 splash-proof only), not suitable for submersion without a case
  • Overheating issues reported during extended, high-resolution recording
  • Larger and heavier design compared to smaller action cameras
  • Relatively short battery life, lasting approximately 62 minutes

Verdict

The Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360 Edition is a premium modular camera co-engineered with Leica, featuring dual 1-inch CMOS sensors that capture 6K 360-degree video and 21MP photos. Key characteristics include six-axis FlowState stabilization, 360° Horizon Lock, and a vertical battery base design. Its main pros are exceptional low-light performance and high dynamic range, providing professional-grade image quality far superior to standard action cameras. However, notable cons include its bulky 239g weight, an IPX3 rating that makes it only splash-resistant rather than fully waterproof, and limited high-frame-rate options at top resolutions.
