Insta360 ONE RS (new core) Review

The Insta360 ONE RS represents a modular approach to 360-degree and action shooting, built around a swappable lens system. The new core module launched at $300 in March 2022, pairing with the company's 360 dual-lens or Boost action lens to deliver up to 5.7K 360 video at 60 fps or 4K widescreen at 60 fps. The 48-megapixel sensor handles stills up to 8000 x 6000, and FlowState stabilization with 360-degree horizon leveling aims to smooth out handheld and mounted footage.

The ONE RS is waterproof to 16 feet, weighs 125 grams, and runs for about 1.2 hours on a charge. It includes a touchscreen LCD on both sides, Wi-Fi 5 connectivity, and support for microSD cards up to 1 TB. The modular design lets creators swap lenses depending on the shoot, making it a flexible option for travel vloggers, adventure shooters, or anyone who wants both 360 immersive capture and traditional action-cam framing in one system. At this price point, it sits in the middle of Insta360's lineup, offering a balance of resolution, stabilization, and versatility without stepping up to the flagship RS 1-Inch edition.
