@drs1969День тому
Watched this all the way through on a Metaquest Pro, using the UKpostsVR app. 1st up - loved the film! A couple of Qs - the quality of the video dropped very noticeably for me in the road sections. Is that UKposts or the camera? Because the loss of detail was striking. 2 how did you do the neat reflective nadir effect? Lastly fyi in the quest pro, the resolution maxxed out at 2160s
@hughhouДень тому
Both. So moving pixels usually compressed in H265. The Codecs sux at encoding fast moving footage. Drone is fine as it is slow but Keeley driving in 60 miles per hours on the road and that is when the footage will break down. So X4 record in HEVC - so quality drop there - and then upload on UKposts is HEVC so drop again. You see higher quality if you have Apple Vision Pro for sideloading the source file. You skip UKposts compression but the camera still have compression there. That is why we want RAW footage always. Canon shoot RAW that is why it is always better in situation like this.
@ZekiLaurentSadicДень тому
it's only 2,7 GB when downloaded. VR Gorilla has higher bitrates.
@hughhouДень тому
VR Gorillaz I believe shoot at 3D 360 on Pro 2 or Titan. So the bitrate is 10x higher for a professional camera. We shoot with tons camera as well for our regular high end 3D 360 video. So it make prefect sense. The camera quality is nowhere compared to 8K on Pro 2 or Titan still. You can see the quality different.

X3 and X4 dive case is exactly the same just house different camera. So X4 is larger. But I tested it, the image quality and everything is the same. X4 just shoot 8K underwater. The stitching quality is also the same as it coming tho the same dome port

@sonicewave2 дні тому
As a X3 owner I will not be upgrading to the X4, these greedy bastards didn't improve much on the X4, could have came out with better low light recording. They went the extra mile to make sure none of you X3 accessories work with X4. Finally with it's crappy 2K rendered video, not even close to 4K, this thing is overpriced for what you really get. Personally I won't ever get another Insta360 product again. I'm waiting for the DJI Action 5 to come out, it's going to be an amazing action cam. Trying to mount the X3 to a helmet or chest mount sucks, gets in the way and just ackward. I can't imagine how much more the X4 will suck to mount on the helmet and chest due to both its bigger size and heavier weight. No thanks Insta, you not getting my money again.

You can see it in our latest video here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mYKLoHt-apyCxGQ.html - short answer is still NO. But this is NOT because of the camera itself.

Right out of the camera the 360 footage is 7680 × 3840. (I know you know this)...In order to get UKposts to recognize it as 8k, it has to be resized to 8192x4320 or at the very least, 7680x4320. After uploading and waiting for UKposts to finally finish the 8k render, it looks the same as I switch back and forth between 4k/8k while it's playing. Troubleshooting is taking entirely too long do to render times (mainly on UKposts side). Perhaps, I'll start making 10sec clips and playing with settings in Davinci. Straight out of Insta Studio won't produce 4320 files.. I think that is a BIG oversight on their part.

Prob not even they have DNG. DNG does not magically make image quality better and AI can improve something already compressed or not captured. But the good news is, after Insta360 saw this video they are commit to provide DNG in regular and HDR in May. They also working on Theta like HDR bracketing shooting. That is ETA but until now, no one really tell them what the problem is... that is crazy. Now they are gonna fix it.

@@hughhou Yeah, interesting that they didn't get it until it was pointed out to them. I'm not saying .dng makes image quality better but you can make a number of adjustments with .dng that you cannot make in a .jpg. ie. Lightroom Denoise, Topaz Sharpen. With a knowledge of these tools, do you think they can be brought up to a professional quality. Admittedly, I've done some 360 tours with a One X and was able to get pretty good final image with these tools. Also, do you see any difference between manual bracketing and in camera auto HDR?
