Insta360’s new $800 One RS 1-inch 360 Edition captures 6K 360 video and 21MP photos.
. The modular design was perfect for action-camera loving creators who might be curious about 360 filming but not wanting to invest in a dedicated 360 camera., which improved upon the One R’s microphone quality and Wi-Fi transfer speeds and overall improved the core’s processing power. It felt like a very minor upgrade at the time, but now with the introduction of the One RS 1-inch 360 Edition, that processing power update seems to make a lot more sense.
The One RS 1-inch 360 Edition is made up of four parts: a plastic mounting bracket; a battery brick with a USB-C charging port, ¼” tripod mount, and USB-C plug to connect to the core; a core with a USB-C port, micro SD card slot, and 1.3-inch touchscreen; and the dual 1-inch CMOS sensors and lenses. When stacked and slid into its housing, this creates the 6K 360 camera.
Those dual 1-inch CMOS sensors are capable of filming 6K 360-degree footage at 30fps and can capture 21-megapixel 360 photos. Insta360 claims that the larger sensors make for better low light performance and provide more dynamic range than its previous consumer 360 cameras. But the larger sensor comes with 239g of weight and two larger, protruding glass spheres that may be more prone to scratches and cracks.
The Insta360 One RS 1-inch 360 Edition is available now for $800. For One R and One RS users, the 1-inch 360 mod, battery, and mounting bracket are available for $650.Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.Please confirm your subscription to Verge Deals via the verification email we just sent you.
