How To Find Insta360 Serial Number

[Carin Mita]

Thecamera's serial number is a unique code that can be used to quickly identify your camera, for example, if you need to submit a repair request. You can find the camera serial number in the following ways:

The drone then flew away and although it shows it's last location known on the controller that location and the loction gopro support has given me do not match up. I have searched both locations and neither have been succesful of locating the setup. My question: Is there any way for me to use the insta360 app or website to locate my last known location of the insta360 onex? i really need my camera back. It had sentemental files of my sister on it who passed away in January. If there could be some way to have a message appear on the screen to contact my number when found it would be awesome. because i hadn't wrote anything on the drone or the camera at the time it was lost. So if someone found it they won't know where to return it. I'm looking for any and all ideas of how to find my $800 setup back. even if i only get the camera and not the drone i would be happy. I really need those files. they are precious memories of when we had our last christmas together. I know i shouldn't have left the sd card in there with such files but i have already made the mistake and i have learned from it. but if someone could help me figure out how to locate the camera i would be forever grateful. thanks !

To kick things off, my primary use for Insta 360 X4 is to capture behind-the-scenes footage of me working. So while this camera can do a ton of things that creators will find useful (which I'll touch on), I really just need decent footage that I can use for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and Patreon.

This ability to endlessly reframe the video, for me, is the number one reason this makes the perfect BTS camera. Not only do I not have to worry about adjusting the camera, but I also now have the ability to show myself in the scene as well as the subject. In post, I can also add movement to the video where maybe the video starts showing me and then pans to the subject. This adds more interest to the clip as well as gives you a lot more options in post-production.

The new Insa360 X4 also now films in 8k30 which gives you a lot more freedom to zoom into the frame. But for me, I ended up keeping it on 5k60 for the ability to slow parts of the clips down a bit. But even at the lower 5k resolution, I was still able to grab clips in both horizontal and vertical aspect ratios without any issues. This ability is another way that Insta360 wins over GoPro. Because in the past, I had to choose whether to film horizontally or vertically. And because I used my footage mostly for horizontal spaces, the video just had to suffer when it got shared to vertical platforms. But with the Insta360, I get the best of both worlds.

One thing that it's important to know, though, is that the 360 video is a combination of footage captured on two different sensors and lenses. This is important because there is a space in the video where the two different videos are being stitched together. Most of the time, this is barely noticeable. However, I found out that this characteristic becomes more apparent when things are closer to the camera. So when I mounted the X4 to my camera, I initially just had it pointed directly forward and back. But what this did was make the stitch seam travel through my camera and face.

However, an easy fix for this is simply to rotate the camera a bit so that this stitch seam travels just in front of the lens and to the side of the camera. Which was a weird concept for me to grasp at first. It's just because it looks off with the 360 camera pointing at an angle. But because it's capturing everything all at once, the rotation of the camera doesn't really matter.

One of my favorite and most used features for recording BTS is the ability to quickly start recording as well as easily stop and delete footage. Sometimes, when capturing moments, it's hard to know for sure if something interesting will happen. So as soon as something starts to happen, I can press the record button and, even if the camera is off, it will turn on and start recording. If nothing happens, I can long press the record button to simultaneously stop recording and delete the clip. This saves a ton of time in post-production without having to go through clips where nothing happened or have to dive into menus to delete footage from within the camera. One thing I wish though, was that the start time from off to recording was a bit faster.

From here, capturing BTS footage is only a small drop in the bucket of what this camera can do. From high-resolution still images to reproducing drone-style footage, to even making crazy slow-motion Matrix-style video clips known as bullet-time. One look at some of the X4 promotional material, and you'll quickly see how much potential this little setup can give you!

I also feel it's important to mention some of the specifics around the specs of this camera. As mentioned before, it can shoot video in 8k30 as well as 4k60 and even 4k100. It can take still images at 72 megapixels and also has an HDR mode for both still and video. I also have no complaints about the battery life with 135 minutes of run time. It's also super easy to swap out batteries if you have a long day of shooting and the entire camera is waterproof up to 30m. There is also the ability to use a dedicated underwater housing if you want to go deeper.

There is also a host of accessories. From invisible selfie sticks to extra-long invisible poles, as well as the special spinning rig used for recording bullet time videos. They also have special lens protectors, but unless you're filming in a hazardous environment, I'd recommend not using the guards because they can result in unwanted flaring and artifacts. The camera also has a USB-C port that offers quick charging. I loved having this because when I charge my Sony a7cR via USB-C, I could easily charge the 360 camera simultaneously. This makes the process of using an everyday camera along with an everyday BTS camera pretty seamless.

From the start, I always thought 360 cameras were a one-hit-wonder type of device. Thankfully, I was dreadfully wrong. This camera has drastically increased my ability to capture BTS footage while also making the process easier, more dynamic, and more engaging. If you are considering a GoPro, or currently use a GoPro, I'd highly recommend looking into the new Insta360 X4. If you have an older Insta360 X3, I feel like this newer model would be worth the upgrade.

If you're looking to use it for photos, definitely look at all of the available options out there. The "X" line seems to be the most consumer-focused line and may not have the quality or features you want.

I'd recommend looking into the (slightly older) Insta360 RS-1 Inch, which uses a much larger sensor (4x the size?) and may have a sharper, better image than the new x4 camera.

Another note are that these cameras shoot in 360 degrees, with 1 lens on each side. This is great and gives tons of flexibility, but keep in mind they aren't 3D -- it's 360 degrees, but there is no depth sensor to them (like if using a VR headset), just in case that matters at all.
