How To Plough Your Insta360 Air Or Nano Invisible Inwards Your 360 Video (Also Industrial Plant For 360 Photos)

Here's a agency to brand your Insta360 Air seem invisible inward 360 videos.  It plant to a lesser extent on the Insta360 Nano every bit well.

INTRODUCTION
You may already know that turning a 360 photographic television camera invisible for photos is easy.  You but accept to piece of job a monopod or selfie stick that doesn't accept a ballhead, then the selfie stick volition live right inward betwixt the 360 camera's lenses.  If a 360 camera's vertical horizon correction is non perfect, the horizon may goal upwards topsy turvy, which is relatively slow to right for 360 photos using apps such every bit edit360 for iOS or Theta Converter for Android.  My friend Ben Claremont (Life inward 360) has a video virtually this technique.

For 360 videos, this same play a trick on is harder to do.  Most 360 cameras can't right for the horizon speedily plenty to proceed the video grade (two exceptions are the Garmin Virb 360 as well as the Xiaomi Mi Sphere).  It's non then slow to right a constantly undulating horizon inward a 360 video -- at that topographic point are software for it such every bit Skybox Mettle but they are expensive.

The number amongst the Garmin Virb360 is that it's non inexpensive at $799.  Xiaomi Mi Sphere is affordable plenty at roughly $300, but entirely yields total resolution amongst really high-end phones (Samsung S7 or equivalent).

Meanwhile, the Insta360 Air as well as Insta360 Nano both accept stabilization as well as inward fact were the outset consumer 360 cameras to accept it.  With the Air as well as Nano's stabilization, it becomes easier to enshroud the selfie stick / monopod.  See this sample video:


HOW TO TURN YOUR INSTA360 CAMERA INVISIBLE
1.  You volition postulate iii things:
     a.  your smartphone.
     b.  An Insta360 Air or Nano.
          - Insta360 Air Type C; or
          - Insta360 Air Micro USB; or
          - Insta360 Nano
     c.  a Benro MK10 selfie stick tripod.

2.  On the Insta360 app, move out to settings, as well as watermark. Choose "None".

3.  On the Benro MK10, withdraw the ballhead.

4.  The Benro MK10 every bit good comes amongst a unique smartphone tripod adapter that is the slimmest that I've found.  You'll postulate to withdraw the mirror on the tripod adapter because it makes the adapter thicker as well as to a greater extent than visible.  I used a blast every bit a wedge as well as it popped off.

5.  For best results, withdraw your smartphone's armor (if any).

6.  Attach the Insta360 to your smartphone straight (for best results, don't piece of job an adapter), as well as attach the smartphone to the tripod adapter.  HERE'S THE KEY: You postulate to seat the tripod adapter AS CLOSE to the photographic television camera every bit possible.  You may every bit good experiment amongst facing the covert outward (as inward the photo) or inward (toward the frame of the adapter), using the alive preview to run across which makes the selfie stick as well as tripod adapter less visible.

7.  For best results, extend the Benro MK10 to its total length (or extend it every bit far every bit possible from the handle).



That's all at that topographic point is to it!  Of course, every holler upwards is different, then you lot should piece of job the alive preview to tweak your phone, adapter, as well as camera's seat for best results.

Virb Edit Is The Best Costless 360 Video Editor, Amongst Features Non Fifty-Fifty Included Inwards Paid Apps


Virb Edit is a remarkable 360 video editor, alongside features non fifty-fifty included in some paid software, and it's free!

Virb Edit is Garmin's video editing software for its activity cameras.  They updated it for the Virb 360 to add together features specifically for 360 video editing, too they did an incredible job!

- Add titles anywhere in your 360 video.  Adding titles to 360 video is a picayune tricky because if yous precisely overlay titles on the video, they volition await warped equally yous motility higher or lower from the 'equator' of your 360 video.  With Virb Edit, yous tin forcefulness out add together titles that volition automatically endure mapped to your 360 video, keeping the normal proportions of the text no thing where yous house them.  Even Adobe Premiere Pro doesn't create this (you postulate a plug in)!

- Change the heading.  You tin forcefulness out alter the heading of the video (the persuasion that a viewer get-go sees, assuming they are looking "forward").  This setting is nether Stabilization ... Set Initial Orientation.  I bring 360 video editors that can't fifty-fifty create this (unless yous create it manually past times cropping too duplicating the video).

- 360-compatible transitions.  There are several conventional transitions that await bizarre when used alongside 360 videos.  Virb Edit lets yous add together transitions that are compatible alongside 360 videos.

- Speed upwards or irksome downwards the video. As fast equally 800% (8X speed) or equally irksome equally 12.5% (1/8th speed). 

- G-Metrix too Maps.  If yous bring a Garmin GPS or other device, yous tin forcefulness out overlay a map or statistics on your 360 video.

The solely drawbacks are that then far it seems my exports are express to 2.7K.   I don't know if that's because my video clips are non from the Virb 360 or because of my PC hardware.  I did guild the Virb 360, which I promise to have presently to come across if I volition endure able to cash inward one's chips 4K.  You tin forcefulness out download Virb Edit hither (for Windows or Mac).

UPDATE:  This is bizarre, but I've constitute that if the footage I purpose is from Xiaomi or 2016 Gear 360, I tin forcefulness out export at 4K thirty fps.  If it's from the 2017 Gear 360 (4096 10 2048), it's express to 2.7K.   But if I mix footage from Xiaomi too 2017 Gear 360, I tin forcefulness out export at 4k.  On the other hand, if I add together clips from the Nano or Air, the maximum I tin forcefulness out export is 2.7K.

Sample 1 (top: desktop; bottom: mobile):

desktop thought heatmap (sample 1)



Sample two (top: desktop; bottom: mobile):

The heatmap business office all the same has a few bugs.  Sometimes I volition instruct a message proverb I don't choose plenty views for whatsoever of my 360 videos (even though equally you lot tin encounter above, in that place are heatmaps available for my 360 videos):

Notwithstanding the bugs, the improver of heatmaps is a rattling welcome characteristic for 360 content creators, in addition to I'm glad YouTube laid upward a much lower threshold for views than Facebook.  This volition assistance creators refine their 360 videography techniques.
