The Insta360 One R is a super-versatile action/360 camera system
(Digital Photography Review)

After teasing a modular action/360 camera system last week Insta360 has officially launched the ONE R at CES in Las Vegas today. The One R consists of a `CPU` with built-in miniature touchscreen and a battery pack which can be combined with one of three camera/lens units: A 360-degree camera that records at 5.7K resolution A GoPro style action camera with 16.4mm equivalent focal length that can record 4K footage at 60fps and 1080p video at up to 200 fps. A wide-angle module with 1-inch sensor and 14.4mm equivalent focal length that records 5.3K footage at 30fps , 4K at 60fps or 1080p at 120fps. This module was developed with the help of camera company Leica. All three modules can record in Raw format and make use of Insta360`s FlowState stabilization, which has been improved for use in low light, as well as H.265 video encoding. They are attached to the CPU and battery `lego-style` via connector pins. Depending on use case the touchscreen can face forward or backwards and installed in the included mounting bracket any of the combos is fully waterproof down to 5m. The 360-degree module can be used with lens protection filters which are, like we`ve already seen with selfie-sticks in previous Insta360 models, automatically removed from the footage by software. The touchscreen can be used for framing or image/video review and alternatively lets you adjust a range of settings including manual exposure parameters. Most special features are provided through the mobile app or desktop application, however. One R users have the choice of letting the app create shareable clips automatically, or dive deep into the controls and edit footage manually. The Auto Frame feature automatically frames 360 content using AI-powered image recognition and tracking technology. It lets you pick from a selection of pre-framed shots and all you need to do is trim and export the clips you like best. In addition you can create automatically reframed hyperlapse ...
