Our editorial take on the Insta360 ONE RS Twin Edition Camera
The Insta360 ONE RS Twin Edition stands out as a modular action camera that bundles both a 4K wide-angle lens and a 360-degree lens, letting you swap between traditional action footage and immersive 360 capture. Reviewers consistently praise the flexibility this brings, especially the ability to reframe 360 shots after recording and use creative effects like invisible selfie stick mode. Image quality from the 4K Boost Lens earns solid marks, with detailed 48MP stills and sharp 4K60 video, while the 5.7K 360 footage opens up creative possibilities that traditional action cams can't touch. The modular design also means you can upgrade components down the road.
The ONE RS isn't a revolutionary leap over its predecessor, the ONE R, but it refines the formula with a tweaked core module and mounting system that improve usability. Build quality and stabilization get thumbs up from most testers, and the waterproofing to 16 feet handles wet environments without a housing. Battery life hovers around 1.2 hours, which is typical for this category but demands spares for longer shoots. Reviewers who spent months with the camera appreciate its reliability and fun factor, though the modular setup adds bulk compared to streamlined competitors. The 360 functionality remains Insta360's biggest differentiator, keeping the ONE RS relevant even years after launch.

This is an article that introduces the new Insta360 Ace Pro and Ace action cameras, highlighting their AI features and improvements over previous models.
Insta360 ONE RS Improves the Versatile and Modular Action Cam System.
Insta360’s One RS is a different kind of action camera that has swappable modules for future flexibility.
The RS is mostly a minor upgrade, with the brain module (or “core,” as Insta360 calls it) and mounting system getting a few tweaks that should make the experience of shooting with the 360 lens slightly better.
Insta360 has expanded its Ace Pro 2 ecosystem with four new bundles and several accessories that transform the action camera into a more versatile imaging tool. One standout accessory, a grip with a dedicated shutter button and zoom slider, effectively turns the compact camera into a full-fledged stills shooter.
Insta360’s One R is a modular camera that aims to provide a solution for every need, whether that be a 360 camera, a 4K action camera or a 1-inch sensor camera.
Cameras that can record 360-degree video can perform a nice trick: letting you reframe action after you shoot it or capture immersive VR video. Insta360 still leads this category, with its latest X5 model, though rivals are catching up.
The new Insta360 ONE RS is not a revolutionary new action camera. It is rather a refined and enhanced version of the original ONE R that was released already two years ago.
