Battery

The battery pack has undergone an upgrade in the One RS unit, with an increased 1445mAh capacity. Filming in sub-zero conditions will always deplete the battery life quicker than in warmer climates, you’re still able to capture up to 75 minutes of continuous recording (tested at 4K, 60fps FlowState mode). Not bad at all, is it?

The App

The essence of an action cam is to make capturing on-the-go, point-and-shoot footage as convenient as possible. Insta360 nail this, not just in terms of the hardware itself, but their super intuitive app. Cutting, editing, reframing and enhancing your footage are all straightforward to do on your phone, and the updated core in the One RS allows for 50% faster WiFi transfers from the camera to your phone.

Roundup

Occasionally, the snowboard market feels saturated with certain products. Camo pants, anyone? How about another 3D profile in the nose and tail of the board? A 16-minute edit of your shaky headcam footage down the Vallee Blanche?

It’s an uncomfortable truth but, for most recreational action cam users, the footage generally comes out looking just a little bit, well, meh. However, Insta360 have struck a great balance with the new One RS action cam. It comes with incredible versatility to capture a variety of professional looking footage while maintaining its user-friendly interface and app to edit your clips together and ping ‘em up onto the Gram or Tik Tok before last lifts.

Pros:

• Modular system allows you to create various different shot types with a single device
• Faster WiFi transfer and intuitive app makes it very easy to edit clips on the go

Cons:

• Small display screen (compared with the GoPro)
