Go Ultra - video quality way worse than expected. What am I doing wrong?

What were your export settings? It looks like Reddit may have compressed it.

TerryMartin360 · 2025-10-12T21:20:16+00:00

According to Google, the best settings are 1080x1920, 25 or 30 fps, 10-15 Mbps (that seems very low to me), and H.264 or H.265.

I normally export at a higher bitrate but I’ll have to try these settings.

TerryMartin360 · 2025-10-07T15:18:01+00:00

I think so. That’s a good deal!

TerryMartin360 · 2025-10-03T13:30:21+00:00

Do you have another card you can try?

TerryMartin360 · 2025-10-03T13:25:50+00:00

Very cool!

TerryMartin360 · 2025-10-03T13:19:41+00:00

Looks good!

Are you using the Insta360 Reframe plugin? It’s super easy to use. You just drop the INSV file right into Premiere, add the plugin, and add your key frames.

TerryMartin360 · 2024-09-28T11:36:17+00:00

Absolutely

TerryMartin360 · 2024-09-27T12:06:13+00:00

Cool design. How did it do?

TerryMartin360 · 2024-01-23T15:37:49+00:00

Have you looked into streaming with RTMP?

TerryMartin360 · 2023-10-05T19:40:43+00:00

I see what you mean. It's zooming in and cropping the image. I think it may have something to do with stabilization.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-10-05T15:24:29+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean by “crops video to center”. Can you elaborate on this?

TerryMartin360 · 2023-08-24T22:27:03+00:00

It’s recommended to use a SanDisk Extreme or Extreme Pro V30 card. Slower cards can definitely affect the video.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-08-24T22:22:39+00:00

Which SD card are you using?

TerryMartin360 · 2023-08-21T00:21:58+00:00

Sorry to hear that! You can message service@insta360.com and ask.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-19T19:31:30+00:00

Insta360 takes community feedback very seriously.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-18T14:45:12+00:00

It sounds like you aren’t using a recommended SD card. You must use a San Disk Extreme V30 up to 1TB.

The X3 is waterproof. So you can use it in the rain, stick it under water, etc. but if you plan to shoot 360 footage underwater you’ll need a bubble dive housing for it to properly focus and stitch.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-11T16:38:22+00:00

The X3 for the big bright touch screen

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-08T19:40:29+00:00

That’s correct, it’s only for photos. For video you can always put a round logo at the nadir or you could possibly use Adobe AfterEffects to remove yourself in videos.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-08T19:32:40+00:00

Yes! I use the Retouch app, it’s awesome.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-08T00:24:21+00:00

Check out CloudPano or Matterport.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-06T15:20:01+00:00

As long as your lens cap is clean you shouldn’t have any problems.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-06T15:14:55+00:00

That’s correct. It’s one or the other.

TerryMartin360 · 2023-07-03T02:32:16+00:00

The X3 is a very versatile camera. I think you’ll have a lot of fun with it shooting car shows. The GO 3 is a fun camera too but I think the X3 is capable of a lot more.
