The combination of good video quality and user-friendly software has kept Insta360 at the forefront of the 360 camera world even as competitors like DJI and GoPro have carved out their own niche. With its latest camera, the Insta360 X6, the company is hoping to leap ahead of the pack again. 凭借出色的视频质量和用户友好的软件,Insta360 一直处于 360 度全景相机领域的前沿,即便大疆(DJI)和 GoPro 等竞争对手也已开辟出各自的市场。随着最新款相机 Insta360 X6 的发布,该公司希望再次实现领先。

The Insta360 X6 brings a slightly larger sensor, faster video frame rates, better low-light performance, and tools to help you spend less time editing and more time filming. While it’s not a huge leap over its predecessor, the X6 is a solid improvement with several new features that might make upgrading worth it for some users. Insta360 X6 带来了稍大的传感器、更快的视频帧率、更好的低光性能,以及能让你减少剪辑时间、增加拍摄时间的工具。虽然它相比前代产品并没有质的飞跃,但 X6 是一次扎实的升级,其几项新功能或许会让部分用户觉得值得换新。

What’s New

有哪些新变化

The X6 looks a little bit like if the X5 and the GoPro Max 2 had a baby. It’s shorter, squatter, and a tad bit wider than the X5, but not as small as the Max 2. That might sound like I’m setting it up to say it’s the Goldilocks size, but that’s not really the case. I actually like the individual sizes of the X5 and Max 2 better, the first for its narrower profile and the second for its much smaller overall size. X6 的外观看起来像是 X5 和 GoPro Max 2 的“结合体”。它比 X5 更短、更敦实,也稍微宽一点,但又没有 Max 2 那么小。这听起来可能像是在说它达到了“恰到好处”的尺寸,但事实并非如此。我个人其实更喜欢 X5 和 Max 2 各自的尺寸,前者是因为其更窄的轮廓,后者则是因为其整体体积更小。

Along with the smaller size come two other major changes from the X5: the screen is smaller, and the physical buttons at the bottom are gone. Though there is noticeably less coverage, I didn’t find the smaller screen to make much difference. I could still see what I wanted to shoot, but the point of a 360 camera is you don’t need to frame shots. The main thing I use the screen for is making sure that the stitch line isn’t on my main subject. 除了尺寸变小,X6 相比 X5 还有两个重大变化:屏幕变小了,底部的物理按键也被取消了。虽然显示面积明显减少,但我发现较小的屏幕并没有太大影响。我依然能看清拍摄内容,但 360 度相机的核心优势在于无需构图。我使用屏幕的主要目的是确保拼接线不会出现在拍摄主体上。

I do miss the X5’s physical buttons on the front, one to record and the other for the menu. There is still a record button, now on the side of the X6, but the onscreen buttons just aren’t as good. They provide haptic feedback (the buttons vibrate when you press them), but they don’t respond 100 percent of the time. I found them noticeably harder to activate compared to the X5’s physical buttons, and I prefer the X5’s front button to start recording. 我确实很怀念 X5 正面的物理按键,一个用于录制,另一个用于菜单。X6 虽然在侧面保留了一个录制按钮,但屏幕上的虚拟按键体验并不好。它们虽然提供触觉反馈(按下时会震动),但并非每次都能 100% 响应。相比 X5 的物理按键,我发现它们明显更难触发,我还是更喜欢 X5 那种通过正面按键开始录制的方式。

Another change to the outside is one of the better things about the X6: There are now power contact points on the bottom, which means you can attach a powered selfie stick and charge your camera while you use it. This is a great new feature that I hope other manufacturers copy. And don’t worry, the standard 1/4-inch tripod mount is still there. 外观上的另一个变化是 X6 的一大亮点:底部现在增加了电源触点,这意味着你可以连接带电的自拍杆,并在使用过程中为相机充电。这是一个非常棒的新功能,我希望其他厂商也能效仿。不用担心,标准的 1/4 英寸三脚架接口依然保留。

Insta360 also says the X6’s new replaceable lens covers are harder than those on previous models. I have never scratched the lenses on my X5, nor did I acquire any scratches during the couple of months I tested the X6. The camera has an IP68 rating, and it’s dustproof and waterproof down to 66 feet. Insta360 还表示,X6 新的可更换镜头保护盖比前代机型更坚硬。我的 X5 镜头从未被刮花,在测试 X6 的几个月里,它也没有出现任何划痕。该相机具备 IP68 防护等级,支持防尘,并可在 66 英尺(约 20 米)深的水下使用。

Speaking of batteries, perhaps my favorite thing about the redesigned X6 is that the battery is now … just a battery. In older X-series cameras, the battery door was part of the battery, which always seemed unnecessary and meant there was no chance of ever using the same battery in another Insta360 camera, like the Ace Pro 2. Now that is potentially possible. If you’re listening, Insta360, give us the same battery for the Ace Pro 3 that’s in the X6. Battery size has also increased from 2,400 mAh to 2,600 mAh compared to the X5. 说到电池,重新设计的 X6 最让我喜欢的一点是,电池现在……就是一块纯粹的电池。在旧款 X 系列相机中,电池盖是电池的一部分,这显得多此一举,也意味着你无法在其他 Insta360 相机(如 Ace Pro 2)上使用同一块电池。现在这成为可能了。Insta360,如果你能听到的话,请让 Ace Pro 3 使用和 X6 一样的电池吧。此外,电池容量也从 X5 的 2,400 mAh 增加到了 2,600 mAh。

New Innards

内部升级

The X6 uses a larger 1/1.1-inch sensor, the same size as the one in the DJI Osmo 360. That’s up from the 1/1.28-inch sensor in the X5 (and note that 360 cameras have two sensors since they have two lenses), and it gives you marginally sharper, clearer video. I did not notice a huge difference when recording in 360 mode. Of the Insta360, GoPro, and DJI cameras I’ve tested, I still find the GoPro Max 2 footage to be the best quality overall, and to GoPro’s point when it launched the Max 2, the X6 only records 7.2K video versus the Max 2’s 8K video. X6 使用了更大的 1/1.1 英寸传感器,与大疆 Osmo 360 的传感器尺寸相同。这比 X5 的 1/1.28 英寸传感器有所提升(请注意,由于 360 度相机有两个镜头,因此有两个传感器),它能带来稍微锐利、清晰一点的视频。在 360 度模式下录制时,我并没有感觉到巨大的差异。在我测试过的 Insta360、GoPro 和大疆相机中,我仍然认为 GoPro Max 2 的整体画质最好。正如 GoPro 在发布 Max 2 时所言,X6 仅能录制 7.2K 视频,而 Max 2 支持 8K 视频。

At night, though, the X6 wins. It’s much brighter than the X5 or the GoPro for starters, and while sometimes it does render colors a little wonky, with blues tending toward green and yellows going more orange than they are in real life, it still produces the best 360-degree low-light footage I’ve shot. The Osmo 360 is a close second, but at times I find it has quite a bit of weird blur-like artifacts in low light. 不过在夜间拍摄时,X6 胜出。首先,它比 X5 或 GoPro 亮得多。虽然有时色彩渲染会有点偏差,比如蓝色偏绿,黄色比现实中更偏橙色,但它依然是我拍过效果最好的 360 度低光视频。Osmo 360 紧随其后,但我发现它在低光环境下有时会出现一些奇怪的模糊状伪影。

One of the more exciting new features is single-lens mode, which, at least on the spec sheet, goes a long way to making the X6 a viable action camera replacement. I dream of one camera that can do it all, and the X6 is definitely closer than other 360 cameras in fulfilling that wish. 最令人兴奋的新功能之一是单镜头模式,至少从规格表上看,这让 X6 很有潜力成为运动相机的替代品。我梦想有一台能胜任所有任务的相机,而 X6 在实现这一愿望方面,确实比其他 360 度相机更近了一步。

The X6 can now record up to 5K video in single-lens mode (up from 4K in the X5), but even better is the new InstaFrame 2.0 feature, which is Insta360’s name for the ability to record both 360 video and a single-lens shot at the same time. This greatly simplifies editing since you have a flat file to work from, and if you miss the shot in that one, you have the 360 footage to fall back on. This was always a great feature, but in the X5 the non-360 file was capped at 1080p, which made it less than useful. The X6 bumps that footage to 4K for the single-lens recording and up to 8K at 30 frames per second for the 360 footage recorded simultaneously, which makes this very usable and is, in fact, how I shot most of the time. X6 现在在单镜头模式下最高可录制 5K 视频(X5 为 4K),但更棒的是全新的 InstaFrame 2.0 功能。这是 Insta360 对“同时录制 360 度全景视频和单镜头画面”这一能力的命名。这极大地简化了剪辑流程,因为你拥有一个可以直接使用的平面视频文件;如果单镜头画面没拍好,你还有 360 度全景素材作为备份。这一直是个很棒的功能,但在 X5 上,非全景文件的分辨率上限仅为 1080p,实用性大打折扣。X6 将单镜头录制提升到了 4K,同时录制的 360 度全景视频最高可达 8K/30fps,这使其变得非常实用,事实上,这也是我大部分时间采用的拍摄方式。

As I have said many times, no one wants to see raw 360 footage (yeah, yeah, I know VR is going to catch on one day, but I am not holding my breath), and while InstaFrame makes editing it down to a traditional linear video file about as easy as is possible, it is still kind of a pain. Advanced users will also find it annoying that you cannot use Insta360’s I-Log format (video log modes are to video what a RAW… 正如我多次说过的那样,没人想看原始的 360 度全景素材(是的,我知道 VR 总有一天会流行起来,但我对此并不抱太大希望)。虽然 InstaFrame 让将其剪辑成传统的线性视频文件变得尽可能简单,但这仍然是一件麻烦事。进阶用户还会感到恼火的是,你无法使用 Insta360 的 I-Log 格式(视频 Log 模式之于视频,正如 RAW 之于……)
