8. 0:49Hey, heat. Hey, heat.
9. 0:52Look at that, man. What a beautiful
10. 0:54machine. In this video, I'm going to
11. 0:56show you exactly how I created that
12. 0:58cinematic intro, test the biggest
13. 1:00upgrades to the new X6, [music] and find
14. 1:02out whether this is finally the one moto
15. 1:04vlogging camera that can do it all.
16. 1:06Although [music] Insta3 has sponsored
17. 1:08this launch video, everything you're
18. 1:10about to see is based on my real world
19. 1:11use and impressions. M, it smells
20. 1:15fantastic.
21. 1:18Let's start with how I made that opening
22. 1:20because the biggest advantage of a 360
23. 1:22camera is that I didn't have to
24. 1:23perfectly frame every shot while I was
25. 1:25on the ride.
26. 1:28So, every time I do this, my basic
27. 1:30procedure is mount the camera wherever
28. 1:32you can mount it. Try it out. Just make
29. 1:35sure it doesn't fall off. For the
30. 1:36mounting hardware, I use all the gear
31. 1:38that's in the motorcycle bundle as well
32. 1:41as the extra stabilizer bar for extra
33. 1:44support. The less it wobbles, the better
34. 1:46your footage is going to be. Then hit
35. 1:47record and go for your ride. Because
36. 1:49it's recording 360°, you're literally
37. 1:52[music] capturing everything around the
38. 1:54camera. So then you can go later in the
39. 1:56studio apps and [music] reframe it and
40. 1:58export it and then reframe another angle
41. 2:01and export that. The purpose is to not
42. 2:03overthink every mounted position, but to
43. 2:05just enjoy your [music] ride. So now,
44. 2:08because you've recorded everything in a
45. 2:09360° bubble, now you can go and reframe
46. 2:12in any format that you like. You may
47. 2:14have [music] noticed those crop bars in
48. 2:16the cinematic sequence, I'm not cropping
49. 2:18over any footage. So now it's not like
50. 2:20Odyssey where only a select few IMAX
51. 2:22cinemas will play the full 70 mil
52. 2:24projection. You're seeing everything in
53. 2:26super high crispy 8K quality. And this
54. 2:29is especially valuable when you're
55. 2:31producing [music] content for YouTube
56. 2:32and for Instagram, for shorts, where you
57. 2:35need all these different kinds of
58. 2:36[music] ratios. saves you having to
59. 2:38refilm everything. It now shoots up to
60. 2:398K 50 frames a second, [music] which is
61. 2:41pretty wild. The higher the frame rate,
62. 2:43the faster the video looks and the
63. 2:45smoother and maybe even more detailed it
64. 2:47looks as well. And not only that, it
65. 2:49means that you can slow it down. Now, we
66. 2:51can have slow-mo 8K quality out of a 360
67. 2:54camera, which is pretty mad. For those
68. 2:56POV shots, the X6 has 5K single lens
69. 3:00ultra wide mode. You get up to 170°
70. 3:02field of view and it shoots up to 5K 60
71. 3:05frames a second which is perfect for
72. 3:07moto vlogging. You get the lane angle
73. 3:08and everything as well. You wouldn't
74. 3:09even know that it's shot on a 360
75. 3:11[music] camera. More on mounting and
76. 3:13form factor later. We now have basic and
77. 3:15pro settings. Basically, you don't need
78. 3:17to be a pro to use [music] this camera,
79. 3:19but it is suitable for pros as well. For
80. 3:22the sake of this cinematic sequence, I
81. 3:24did shoot in manual mode. I wanted
82. 3:25control of everything to be able to do
83. 3:27this and so that your footage looks good
84. 3:28and not all blown out and overexposed.
85. 3:31You want to be using ND filters, baby.
86. 3:34Now ND filters don't magically produce
87. 3:36motion blur. It's the slow shutter
88. 3:38speed. But when we slow the shutter
89. 3:39speed, which is basically the window to
90. 3:41the sensor, it allows more light to hit
91. 3:44the [music] sensor, creating an
92. 3:45overexposed image. Because we're at a
93. 3:47fixed aperture, the only way to correct
94. 3:49the exposure is with ND or neutral
95. 3:52density filters. Think of them as
96. 3:54tinting that window to [music] the
97. 3:55sensor where ND16 is the lightest tint
98. 3:58and ND64 is the darkest tint. But for
99. 4:01general riding, setting the shutter
100. 4:02speed to auto or switching [music] it
101. 4:04back to basic mode will give you a great
102. 4:06sharp image just without the motion
103. 4:08blur. [music] And to monitor exposures,
104. 4:10dialing in settings and checking that we
105. 4:12got the shot, I use the Insta3 app on my
106. 4:14[music] phone. So that's pretty much how
107. 4:16I shot that sequence. It wasn't rocket
108. 4:18science. I didn't think about it too
109. 4:20much. I just mounted it where I could on
110. 4:22the bike and then just repeated it in
111. 4:24different locations at different times
112. 4:26of the day.
113. 4:29So, let me know in the comments right
114. 4:31now how you think the footage looks.
115. 4:32When I hopped on the computer for the
116. 4:35first time, chucked in the SD card, and
117. 4:36had a look at what was coming out, I was
118. 4:38pretty impressed, man. It looks pretty
119. 4:40damn good. There's more depth. The
120. 4:43colors look more rich. Looks more
121. 4:45vibrant. It's a lot clearer. And there's
122. 4:47a few reasons why it looks this way. We
123. 4:49now have dual custom Sony one 1.1 in
124. 4:53square sensors and a new 4 nanometer
125. 4:56triple AI chip system which helps with
126. 4:59everything. [music] Daylight detail, the
127. 5:01dynamic range, shadow and highlight
128. 5:03retention. Just keep an eye on the
129. 5:05clouds and the shadows and see how much
130. 5:07detail you can see in them both. That's
131. 5:09your dynamic range. The low light
132. 5:10clarity has improved a lot now that we
133. 5:13got a larger sensor. More light can hit
134. 5:15[music] it. That reduces the ISO, that
135. 5:17grainy look. There's better noise
136. 5:18reduction from the triple AI chip.
137. 5:20There's [music] better color processing.
138. 5:22And it retains a whole lot of detail
139. 5:24after normal reframing. [music] And what
140. 5:26we also have that just makes the footage
141. 5:29look that much better finally is 10 bit
142. 5:32color.
143. 5:34>> So your standard 8 bit color displays
144. 5:36[music] 16.7 million colors, which is a
145. 5:39lot. But 10 bit color [music] displays
146. 5:42over 1 billion colors. And this is so
147. 5:44super noticeable in all the riding
148. 5:46footage. All the colors just look so
149. 5:48[music] rich and it's so much more
150. 5:49enjoyable to grade. You can actually
151. 5:51work with the colors and bring out some
152. 5:53of those really nice tones. [music] You
153. 5:54wouldn't think it's shot on a 360
154. 5:56camera. And then of course we've got HDR
155. 5:59and native in camera Dolby Vision, which
156. 6:01is an industry standard [music] first
157. 6:03for a 360 camera. It helps with contrast
158. 6:05and colors and highlights and everything
159. 6:07like that. [music] If you don't want to
160. 6:08go crazy into grading your footage, I'd
161. 6:11just leave it on Dolby. You've got also
162. 6:13got standard as well for just real
163. 6:14[music] real super basic coloring. The
164. 6:16X6 also has had a big old upgrade to the
165. 6:19microphones. It now has a 360° [music]
166. 6:21windproof microphone system.
167. 6:31And what it also has is a hidden
168. 6:32internal microphone designed
169. 6:35specifically for motorcycles. It's a
170. 6:37mode called engine sound enhancement,
171. 6:40and it works pretty well. It picks up
172. 6:41sound vibrations through solid
173. 6:43conduction. Basically, wherever you
174. 6:45mount it on your bike, the vibrations
175. 6:46will get picked up by the internal
176. 6:48microphone.
177. 7:02But just for the camera having
178. 7:04microphones on it that you're not really
179. 7:06in control of and that usually pick up a
180. 7:08lot of wind, these guys are heading in
181. 7:11the right direction to help us as
182. 7:13motorcyclists get [music] the best audio
183. 7:15quality as possible straight out of the
184. 7:17camera. But of course, if you want the
185. 7:18best audio quality, you need the mic
186. 7:20pro.
187. 7:24The mic Pros [music] do connect to the
188. 7:26X6. Usually when you connect via
189. 7:28Bluetooth, there is a loss in audio
190. 7:30quality, but the X6 retains the 48 kHz,
191. 7:33which is the industry standard for audio
192. 7:35quality. Usually, you would need the
193. 7:36micro receiver plugged into the camera
194. 7:38to retain that audio quality. You don't
195. 7:40need that anymore.
196. 7:45And yes, [music] you can connect two
197. 7:48micros to the X6 and set it in stereo
198. 7:51and have your voice and your exhaust or
199. 7:53whatever you want to do. You don't need
200. 7:54the receiver at all. Testing, testing,
201. 7:56testing, testing, testing, testing,
202. 7:59>> testing, testing, testing.
203. 8:00>> I've got one mic pro on my helmet and
204. 8:02one mic pro next to the pipes. And now I
205. 8:06have control over my voice and the
206. 8:08pipes. So, I can turn the pipes down if
207. 8:10I want. And I can turn my voice down and
208. 8:12just have the pipes scream. Baby, let's
209. 8:14go left. Ah, left's too dark. No, it's
210. 8:18not.
211. 8:21Daylight is the easy part, but the
212. 8:23[music] larger sensors, they become much
213. 8:25more interesting when the ride continues
214. 8:27into sunset and darkness. For the night
215. 8:30scene, I shot in pure video mode and let
216. 8:32the camera do the rest. No manual
217. 8:34settings needed. The larger sensors and
218. 8:36triple AI processing [music] improve
219. 8:37noise reduction, shadow detail, dark
220. 8:40area clarity, headlight and street light
221. 8:43control, and highlight [music]
222. 8:44retention. And yes, it also works in
223. 8:46single lens mode.
224. 8:49Does [music] it work better on a
225. 8:50motorcycle? The specifications are
226. 8:52useful, but these are the smaller things
227. 8:54that decide whether I will actually take
228. 8:56the camera with me [music] and keep
229. 8:57using it. The overall length has been
230. 8:59reduced. Thank goodness. This means it's
231. 9:02more comfortable if you want to throw it
232. 9:04in your pocket. It fits inside riding
233. 9:05luggage easier, which is [music]
234. 9:07especially great if you travel a lot.
235. 9:08The magnetic base works with the Insta3
236. 9:10ecosystem, making it super easy to
237. 9:12switch out. It's way less bulky on the
238. 9:14helmet. The selfie stick doesn't wobble
239. 9:16as much. And I found that overall it's
240. 9:18just [music] more enjoyable to hold in
241. 9:20your hand. It's so nice and chunky
242. 9:22mlunky. I know it looks like it's in the
243. 9:25way, but this is like your nose when
244. 9:27you're looking past it. You can't see
245. 9:28it. You're looking straight ahead.
246. 9:30That's barely noticeable in my vision.
247. 9:32It used to be up here, man. And it used
248. 9:34to be so annoying. It has a new 2.32
249. 9:36[music] in OLED display, which is
250. 9:38designed to remain visible in direct
251. 9:40sunlight. And it works with gloves with
252. 9:43no dramas. You can press the whole
253. 9:46screen and it will stop recording. So
254. 9:48you don't have to try to find that
255. 9:50little button or try to reach on the
256. 9:52back here. You can literally press
257. 9:55anywhere. I press over in this top left
258. 9:57corner and it records.
259. 10:01Love that. So handy. And it fires up so
260. 10:05[music] quick, which is perfect for
261. 10:06quick capture.
262. 10:07>> Wo, that's quick. The replaceable lenses
263. 10:10have had an upgrade with stronger
264. 10:11scratchresistant lenses and are now much
265. 10:14quicker and easier to replace. They also
266. 10:16come in a little carry bag that you can
267. 10:18easily bring along with you for roadside
268. 10:20repair if you're risking it for the
269. 10:22biscuit and want to get the shot. The
270. 10:25camera is waterproof to 20 m without a
271. 10:26case. Instaframe 2.0 O produces a ready
272. 10:30to share framed video while preserving
273. 10:32the full 360° file and it [music] now
274. 10:35exports directly in 4K instead of 1080p.
275. 10:38>> So this is perfect for when you vlog,
276. 10:40you know, and it's just going to keep on
277. 10:42tracking me, which is [music] awesome.
278. 10:44Yeah. Fully just saves you having to
279. 10:46refframe everything.
280. 10:46>> It can also be used as a virtual gimbal.
281. 10:49You can lock roll and tilt or just the
282. 10:51roll or have it like FPV [music] styles
283. 10:54so it moves around everywhere. It's very
284. 10:56clever. And then of course from all that
285. 10:57you can export it in different ratios as
286. 10:59well. So you can have Insta frame do
287. 11:01[music] 9x6, 16x9, square, 4x5 without
288. 11:05having to touch a thing. You don't have
289. 11:06to refframe anything. And then [music]
290. 11:07it saves a 360 file as well. So then you
291. 11:10can go in still and refframe everything.
292. 11:12Wow, man. Come on. It's pretty good.
293. 11:14[music]
294. 11:14It saves so much hassle, man. We now
295. 11:16have a higher capacity battery which
296. 11:18allows us to film for over [music] 50%
297. 11:20longer than the X5 and comes with this
298. 11:22handy quick charge case that can also be
299. 11:24used as a power bank. And for the first
300. 11:27time, there's an internal storage on
301. 11:29this 47 GB built-in internal memory,
302. 11:31which is useful for if you forgot your
303. 11:33memory card or it's full or it's faulty.
304. 11:35Internal storage, man. So, after using
305. 11:37the X6 as a cinematic 360 [music] camera
306. 11:40and moto vlogging camera, is this
307. 11:42actually the one camera that can do it
308. 11:44all? Let's put it this way. If I forgot
309. 11:47to pack [music] my Ace Pro 2 on a trip,
310. 11:49I really wouldn't be that worried
311. 11:50because the X6 [music] can cover pretty
312. 11:52much everything I need from a compact
313. 11:55action camera. It's so great to see how
314. 11:57far these X series 360 cameras have
315. 11:59[music] come. I've been around since the
316. 12:01X2, and I love how Insta 360 have kept
317. 12:05us motorcyclists [music]
318. 12:06in mind when developing these new
319. 12:08cameras. They know we use them, and they
320. 12:10[music] want to cater to us as much as
321. 12:12possible. and I think they're doing a
322. 12:14terrific job. Now, if you guys would
