As the world finally opens up to travel once again, you’ll be on the lookout for a camera that can capture all that post-pandemic adventure. Introducing the new Insta360 ONE RS.
If you’re itching to travel so much that people are giving you sideways glances on the subway, your urge to explore will soon be sated as more and more destinations open their borders and drop their quarantine restrictions like drawers on a wedding night. Top of your packing list should be a versatile and durable digital camera that can capture every exquisite moment, from intimate stills to heart-thumping videos.
Designed for a new generation of adventurers, Insta360 has created the ONE RS, a new interchangeable lens action camera that offers creators all-in-one versatility, without compromises.
Using a three-part design—one battery, one processor and three quick-swapping lenses—ONE RS effortlessly transforms from a traditional action cam to a creative 360 shooter. A new high-performance 4K Boost Lens with a 1/2-inch 48MP image sensor now offers stunningly detailed wide-angle videos and photos, while a powerful Core offers better than ever in-camera stabilization, crisper audio and more.
Two innovative new modes are also available on the 4K Boost Lens. The first mode is Active HDR, a game-changer for action sports. While HDR modes on other action cameras are limited to stationary use due to ghosting challenges, Active HDR is specifically designed for action. Active HDR keeps your video stabilized as you move, minimizing ghosting and revealing details in the highlights and shadows that other action cameras miss.

The second cutting-edge option is 6K Widescreen mode. Taking full advantage of the 48MP sensor, this mode outputs ultra-high-resolution 6K footage with a classic 2.35:1 ratio for a cinematic widescreen look.
As a modular camera system, the new lens and Core are cross-compatible with the preceding ONE R generation as well, enabling tech-lovers to upgrade their camera at their own pace. The previously-released 5.7K 360 Lens unlocks endless creative possibilities with the Invisible Selfie Stick effect and 360 reframing.
Meanwhile, the 5.3K 1-Inch Wide Angle Lens co-engineered with Leica continues to offer unparalleled image quality thanks to its 1-inch sensor. No matter which lens is installed, the action camera is tough, rugged and waterproof to 5 metres.
With its interchangeable lens design, ONE RS ensures that creators always have the best tool for the job. While the 4K Boost Lens is ideal for zeroing in on details, the 360 Lens is perfect for when you want to focus on the action, not on your camera.

Whether you’re motorcycling, skiing or just kicking back with friends, getting creative shots is effortless with the 360 Lens. All you have to do is hit record and let the camera capture everything in 5.7K 360 degrees. Later, you can choose your favorite angle (or multiple angles) and export it as a flat video that can be shared just like any other video.
The 360 Lens also enables creators to capture impossible third-person views of themselves as they’re in the moment. Thanks to the camera’s dual-lens design, the selfie stick is automatically stitched out of the final footage, resulting in incredible video-game-like angles.
With the powerful new ONE RS Core, Insta360’s proprietary FlowState Stabilization is now delivered through the camera hardware for smoother-than-ever videos. With enhanced stabilization applied in-camera, creators can now instantly share smooth wide-angle content to social media without having to process it in the Insta360 app.
No matter how much the camera is rotated during the action, 360 horizon levelling also ensures your video always stays magically level. Toggle a switch in the Insta360 app or desktop software with footage shot on any of the three lenses and watch the footage instantly level out.

With a rugged design, the ONE RS is built to go anywhere you go. Even at the height of the action, high-performance connectors ensure a reliable connection between the mods, while a number of hardware upgrades make operating the camera seamless.
Even better, editing epic shots is easier than ever with the Insta360 app’s powerful editing suite, packed with AI-powered features. For 360 footage, finding the best angle is easy with Snap Wizard—simply move your phone or swipe the screen to change the angle of the camera and export your desired footage instantly. For fun effects like cloning or stop motion, Shot Lab is constantly being updated with new AI editing effects. One exciting new effect is Cinelapse, which adds cinematic transitions between clips to create a next-level hyperlapse.
For wide-angle footage, FlashCut uses AI to find the best moments in your clips and edit them together on beat to the music. You can choose from several different editing themes, from action highlight reels to travel vlogs.
For creators who prefer editing on desktop, the free Insta360 Studio software is also available for Mac and Windows, as well as free plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro.
Go forth and create.
