Insta360 One R Camera Review

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.

Testing My New Insta360 One R Camera

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!
