Product Information

So often, manufacturers produce cameras that are good all-rounders, or in the case of the GoPro Hero10 Black and the Insta360 ONE RS, they’re good at everything.

You're still dealing with a good deal of distortion introduced by the wide angle lens, but images look sharp and colors really pop. If you're experiencing persistent freezing please test a spare SD card to ensure that yours isn't the root cause. Unscrew the back hatch (which is easier said than done), and you'll find an external mic jack, a Micro-SDXC card slot supporting cards of capacities up to 64GB, Mini-USB and Mini-HDMI ports, and a battery big enough to supply up to 3.
