many of you know that all of us here at Linus Media Group recently went on a company retreat to bents National Park where we hiked and hung out and also played lots of video games but what you may not have known was that before we went insta 360 reached out to us to showcase their new one X 360 camera in a sponsored video it was actually perfect timing because I wanted to take some nice high resolution panoramas in damp anyway so we said yes and we took it with us and now all of that in the past so I can show you if you've never used a 360 camera before the first pro tip is to do less because you do not have to point the camera at whatever it is that you want to capture it's already capturing everything around you and this sounds simple but it is surprisingly hard to break the habit of shooting at things because we're so used to pointing the lens in the same direction as our eyes once you let that sink in though suddenly you can forget all about the camera and just focus on what you're doing whether that's snowboarding or hiking or fun about my wife trying to do a push-up oh that's ok anyway you can also invent completely new use cases like having a single camera act as both your dash cam and your backup camera at the same time the next thing you need to get used to is that your selfie stick is going to be invisible in the final footage I mean you still look like a turd when you're taking the footage but once you're done it actually looks way more natural because it can Stitch the footage together from the two lenses to create a blind spot that hides the stick and the footage itself looks really good so the 1x does 4k at 50 frames per second it also supports 5.7 K at 30fps which is a nice to have because having that little bit of extra resolution to work with might be nice if you want to crop in to get just one part of the image and then it also does 3k at a hundred frames per second which you could use for slow motion or better yet Zack Snyder asked dynamic slow-mo editing which can be done using the 1x companion app actually the app is pretty helpful overall first of all for footage preview because who wants to wait until they're back at the hotel to find out that there was poop on the lens the whole time and then inside the app you can pan around zoom in and out and then if you zoom out far enough you actually get little planet mode which always reminds me of Dragon Ball Z when Goku's training on King Kai's planet with the intense like gravity and stuff anyway that's off-topic the point is this camera will make you super Sayan sand saying I don't you know I've never watched Dragonball Z but do I look like I'm 12 yes but Dragon Ball Z wasn't a thing yet you yes this camera will make you Super Saiyan warning camera may not actually make you Super Saiyan or increase your power level in any way in terms of creative possibilities you can publish 360 videos that your friends can pan around in but you can also export like have you called non 360 video video flat video so you can use the app to enter free capture mode and then sort of play director by pointing the camera and then changing the angle to frame the shots that you want and then you can edit together shots from multiple different clips in your video so basically yes this camera will make you James Cameron and then hopefully we have another warning warning camera may not actually make you James Cameron or allow you to visit the Titanic or travel to Pandora in any way probably the most fun way to use the 1x though is the mode that they call bullet time which for those of you boarded to 2000 I guess is a reference to the 1999 movie The Matrix which I guess I was also 12 when it came out what year is it no I was 14 I can't do that forget it it doesn't matter the point is on the 1x all you need is a rope or if you want to be slightly less jank this special handle that screws into the selfie stick so that you can swing it over your head like a madman while your friends try to shoot your crotch with arrows it's a really cool effect and it's made possible by the one axis flow state image stabilization which is good enough to even make dog footage watchable which is pretty impressive so thanks tends to 360 for sponsoring this video you can check out their brand new 5.7 k1x 360 camera at the link below it's also it's also very durable we hope seems funny so thanks for watching guys if you just like this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like yet subscribe maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description also linked in the video description Richards has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which is your definitely join that's for all of you watching at 1.5 X I'm just trying to mess with you cause setting right now yeah it is
