Why This Camera
Dual 1-Inch Leica Sensors
The 1-inch sensors are the standout feature. Most action cameras use 1/2.3-inch or 1/1.3-inch sensors; dual 1-inch sensors capture significantly more light, delivering superior dynamic range, cleaner low-light footage, and more detailed 360 images. This is the closest you can get to professional 360 quality without a dedicated VR rig. The camera is the first 360 camera with Leica co-branding, developed to maximize panoramic image quality.
6K 360 Video & 21MP Photos
Record 6K at 30fps for high-resolution 360 capture. When reframed to traditional widescreen, the footage retains detail for 4K export. The 21MP 360 photos with PureShot HDR mode capture vibrant, well-exposed stills in challenging lighting conditions.
Dive Case Included ($30-50 Value)
The included dive case allows underwater shooting to 40 meters (131 feet). The housing uses optical imaging tempered glass with AR coating (98%+ transmittance) to maintain image clarity underwater. For serious underwater shooters, note that aftermarket cases can have quality issues — one reviewer reported rusting after pool and ocean use; the premium Mantis RS360 housing is available for professional use at ~$1,900.
Premium Lens Guard ($25-30 Value)
The Premium Lens Guard provides shockproof protection for extreme land sports — motorsports, skiing, snowboarding, paragliding. The optical imaging tempered glass maintains 98%+ light transmittance with AR coating. Before using the lens guard, enable “Protective Lens Mode” in the Insta360 app.
Lens Cap (Official, ~$20 Value)
The official lens cap provides full coverage when the camera is not in use, preventing dust, scratches, and impact damage during storage and transport.
Modular Design
The ONE RS system is modular: the Core, Lens, and Battery Base separate. The 1-Inch 360 Lens requires the vertical battery base (included) — it cannot be used with the standard horizontal battery.
FlowState Stabilization & 360 Horizon Lock
Six-axis gyro stabilization keeps footage smooth even during active shooting. Horizon Lock ensures the horizon stays level even if the camera rotates fully — perfect for action sports, flips, and dynamic movement.
Honest Note
The ONE RS 1-Inch 360 Edition launched in 2022 and has been discontinued — replaced by newer models like the X4. What you gain: exceptional 1-inch sensor image quality that newer X-series models do not have (X3/X4 use smaller 1/2-inch sensors). What you give up: 8K resolution (X4 offers 8K) and newer processing.
This camera remains unique in the 360 market — no other consumer 360 camera uses dual 1-inch sensors. For creators who prioritize image quality over maximum resolution, this is still the best option.
This 98% unit is fully functional with clean lenses, working autofocus, and included dive case, lens guard, and lens cap — ready for both land and underwater shooting.
