Is Insta360 ONE R the BEST Underwater Camera?



Wondering just how waterproof Insta360 ONE R is? Well Hannah here and I’m gonna find out how this underwater camera performs in some pretty wacky situations 🦐 A shrimp even makes a valiant effort to attack the camera’s SD card slot! What was your favorite test? Share in the comments! *Always install your Insta360 ONE R into the Mounting Bracket before taking it into water (so don’t do what we did 😉 we were testing ONE R to its limits in extreme conditions).

We didn’t test Insta360 ONE R to its full depth in this ep but this underwater camera is waterproof up to 5 meters (16.4ft). Always install your Insta360 ONE R into the Mounting Bracket before taking it into water (so don’t do what we did 😉)! For taking ONE R even deeper or for seamless stitching with the Dual-Lens 360 Mod, check out the dive cases which can take you up to 60 meters deep.

  1. Just took my One R to Kauai and was snorkeling with it, not even diving deep and my WHOLE CAMERA is fried! When I tried to turn it on after only a couple of minutes into my snorkel, it would not turn on after trying three times, so I just left it, finished my snokel disappointed by having no footage. When I got back to my hotel later that day I took everything apart and there was corrosion on all of the leads, the battery pack, the 360 lens slots and the main body slots. I was using the camera with a selfie stick, so it was in its case at all times. Now I have no footage from my trip (except for a bit at the start) and I am out the entire cost of the camera. Yes all doors were sealed, how could I have gotten it into its case without them being in place? BEWARE putting your One R underwater!!!!!

  2. My Oner just died after I submerged it a few cms into water. It was inside it's mounting bracket and completely closed as suggested on the manual so I'm quite disappointed 😞

  3. haha you definitively took my doubts away about jumping in the pool being too rough with just the external guard installed instead of the diving case! thanks!

  4. Hello,
    I went diving today with this camera using the default lens (the flat one) during a somewhat cloudy day and the footage was almost completely black where as my gopro hero 7 black had no issues. I even used two 1000 lumen flashlights on my rig and was only able to get a decent shot when i was almost touching my target. What settings should i use when diving with this camera as i want to use it mainly for diving?

  5. @insta360 can you confirm what the conditions are for using the camera without the frame I'm sure the documentation says the camera is not waterproof without the frame yet you're going mad with this in this video without using the frame. Your own website says this, yet you're not doing this. What's going on? – "Insta360 ONE R is waterproof to 5 meters when built. That means all components are locked together and ONE R is secured in the Mounting Bracket."

  6. I used this camera for the first time in the water on Friday, and well let’s just say it was not water proof. I had it in less than 4 inches of calm salt water and now the camera no longer turns on. Super disappointed!

  7. I wanted to test my Underwater casing for my One R, I wanted to know, what is the best setting for underwater videos? Should Auto function be Okay? Or is there a best setting? Thanks.

  8. Hellooo Hannahh.. Love ur review, love ur vibes, love ur friendsteam, n love youuu in one package n yes you are so beautiful, like siblings to Scarlett Johansson 😍😍.. How do you do?

    Oh yes, pls also if possible, subscribe n coment my modest utube, though hav not produced any videos with this 360 R, but will do soon 😄. Thx in advance 🙏🙏🙏

  9. this is a terrible video, extreme test is to dip it into a glass of water ? not exciting, dear me. Try taking it 20m deep with Sharks in the tropics or something

  10. It could survive in very shallow water but about 1 meter will die, you can notice when dissemble look carefully through the SD door you can see the LED light from inside, plus if you blow air with your mouth from the connectors you feel the air coming out from the battery connectors and the SD door

  11. I have this camera water got inside, went to do some windsurfing the when I check the camera is not turning in I thought it was low battery but when I separate the battery I realized that water is coming out from the connection port of the battery then when I separate the lens from the body it had water in the camera connectors too, when I got home I put it inside the oven at 100degrees hoping that water inside evaporates, after few hours and let the temperature get low I turned on and it worked but won't charge the battery or recognize the battery, only work with us plugged to charguer, so Now I'm going to sell it asap and buy something else, meaby max, sadly it was taking nice footage , the app(Android) is shit but was even thinking on buy any old iPhone only for editing insta360 videos but if it cannot work in the water it is useless for me, not talking about the foggy problem of the 360 lens and the red dot caused by the direct sunlight.anyways hoping the next modular camera fix all lol of these problems, good luck and before you guys sell a product please for God's sake test it well test it in the water cold water warm water deep water dirty water sea water etc, test the sunlight every angle , test the temperature hot cold, and when assembling the lens don't forget to do it in a dry place with 0 umidity and use vacuum before sealing the lens otherwise humidity gets trapped into the fucking lens!!! And fire your engineers
