You can use the standard tripod thread on the bottom of the camera to attach it to various mounts, tripods, or even a drone for aerial shots. Experiment with different mounting positions to discover exciting perspectives for your content.

Tips for Great Shots

Lighting and Composition

Good lighting is key to exceptional 360-degree photos and videos. Aim to shoot during the golden hours (early morning and late afternoon) when natural light is soft and warm. Additionally, avoid having the sun directly in your frame to prevent overexposure.

Composition is equally important. Experiment with different angles and perspectives to create visually engaging content. Keep in mind that the entire scene is captured, so be mindful of distracting elements in your frame.

Avoiding Overexposure

When shooting in bright conditions, it’s common to encounter overexposed areas in your 360-degree content. To mitigate this, consider using ND filters to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. ND filters are especially useful for maintaining balanced exposure in outdoor settings.

Best Practices for 360-Degree Shots

  • Stand clear of the camera’s lenses to avoid appearing in the shot.
  • Use the Insta360 app’s “Viewfinder” mode to frame your shots without being in the frame.
  • Experiment with different camera angles and heights to find the best perspective for your content.
  • Be mindful of stitching lines where the two lenses meet. These can be edited out in post-production.

Editing and Post-Production

Using the Insta360 Studio Software

For more advanced editing, consider using the Insta360 Studio software on your computer. This software provides a range of professional editing tools to enhance your content.

  1. Download and install Insta360 Studio from the official website.
  2. Import your footage into the software.
  3. Use advanced editing features like keyframing, color correction, and advanced transitions.
  4. Export your edited content in high quality for sharing or further post-processing.

The Insta360 Studio software empowers you to take your content to the next level with precise editing controls.

Adding Effects and Transitions

To make your content more engaging, consider adding effects and transitions. The Insta360 app and Insta360 Studio offer a variety of options to add flair to your videos. Experiment with effects like speed ramps, color grading, and lens flares to give your content a unique style.

Exporting and Sharing Your Content

Once you’re satisfied with your edited content, it’s time to share it with the world. The Insta360 app and Insta360 Studio offer easy sharing options for social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and more.

Cleaning and Protecting Your Insta360 One X3
