I haven't posted a workout video in a while so I thought I would play around with my Insta360 One R and see how well it would do in this type of workout situation, The lighting was a bit dark in the area I was doing Walking Lunges so I did get a lot of noise with it but it worked rather well on the other side of the gym where the lighting is much better. I love the ability to manually zoom and pan the 360 video after the fact to make it look like I have my own custom video person.
In this workout at Strength Camp Langley I performed a full body workout only using 4 basic exercise consisting of 4-6 sets with rep ranges around 8-15. I started off with Walking Lunges for legs getting up to a weight of 135 pounds on the Barbell, I then did various Shoulder Raises (Front, Side, Rear) and then finished off with a Dumbbell Fly press combo for Chest. This workout took me about an hour and I burned 522 calories with an average heart rate of 140 and a max of 172. Who needs cardio!
Yup, another Camera Video but to be fair without decent cameras and quality microphones the videos would look and sound terrible even if the content was awesome :)
Pretty sure this is the last Camera update for a while now that I have added the Insta360 One R and now the iVUE Vista 4k Camera Glasses to my arsenal of video recording gear.
I was well overdue for a new pair of Camera Glasses as my PivotHead Recon’s where 7 years old which is surprising that they held up this long and even have fared well in terms of quality compared to what is available even today for HD Camera Glasses. The main problem I had with my aging PivotHead Recon Camera Glasses was mainly battery life related, can’t record video without a good battery!
After a fair amount of online digging I found the iVUE Vista 4k Camera Glasses, I was hoping to get another pair of Pivothead Camera Glasses but it looks like they are no longer in business… Too bad! iVUE from my research looks to be a decent company with quality products and they were the only company that offered a Camera Glass that was capable of 4k and 1080p 60 frame which is what I was most interested in.
In this video I compare my iVUE Vista Versus my older PivotHead Recon Camera Glasses to see how far the tech has improved over the last 7 years our so, I was a bit surprised at how well my old PivotHead Recon Camera Glasses faired but there are some obvious improvements especially in low light and audio quality when compared to the much newer iVUE Vista 4k Camera Glasses.
The iVUE Vista Camera Glasses are capable of 4k video but only at 24 frames per second which is not smooth enough for action style shooting so I plan to record using 1080p with 60 frames per second frame rate which is what I use with my other cameras when recording video for YouTube.
Here are some of the Specifications for the iVUE Vista Camera Glasses:
In this YouTube Video I test out my new Insta360 One R with the 1 Inch Mod, comparing it to my Sony RX100 IV to see how they compare against each other.
It’s not really a fair comparison since my Sony RX100 IV is now 5 or 6 years old which is a long time for a digital camera but it has been really good to me and provided some really great quality video over the years. Compare that to the Insta360 One R that is about a year on the market now and you would think the clear winner would be the Insta360 One R.
On it’s own the Insta360 One R with the standard 4k lens would perform well against the Sony RX100 IV but the Sony RX100 IV has a 1 inch sensor allowing it to get the most out of each pixel and since I primarily shoot in 1080p 60 frames per second I need to get as much out of each pixel as I can.
One really great feature about the Insta360 One R is that it is modular so I can swap the 4k module out for a 5.7 k 360 module or even a 1 inch 5.3k module allowing both the Insta360 One R and the Sony RX100 IV to have that large 1 inch sensor keeping the comparison more inline with each other.
Some things to not that will make a big difference in quality and limitations for this video is that the Insta360 One R 1 Inch Mod was shot using 4k 60 fps while the Sony RX100 IV was shot using 1080p 60fps. The Insta360 One R 1 Inch Mod has a fixed focus while the Sony RX100 IV has a variable focus.
Anyway I will let you be the judge and decide which camera you like the look of the video for at least in this shooting situation.
This is by far not a full Review of the Insta360 One R Camera but rather more of my take on the Insta360 One R Camera and what it can do for me and how I plan on using it in by Replica Airguns and Get Fit Over 40 YouTube channels.
I talk about how the Insta360 One R Camera compares to a GoPro type camera and how it can also be much more than a typical action camera because of its ability to morph from one camera to a completely different type of camera because of its modular form factor. Not to mention possible future new hardware lenses and even main modules that could increase the ability of this camera even further.
In this video I show some sample videos I shot using the Insta360 One R Camera with the 4K 60 fps Mod and its 5.3K 30 fps 360 Mod Lenses.

Had some fun today playing with my new Insta360 One R 360VR Camera while our walking the dogs! It's like having your own personal camera person tagging along since it shoots video in all direction which you can then pick and choose what subject matter to focus on and even change the zoom in and out. Super cool!
