| Hugh Hou's review told me all I needed to know about this camera ~ Minimal difference in 360 stills so, if used for Zillow or Matterport tours (once supported) will likely be just as grainy. I do not doubt its ability as an action camera but, I have other action cameras that I am perfectly happy with from DJI that already fit into my editing process |

| Unforuntly for me just starting to get equipment heavy, hard to believe but actually but trying to go thru all my equipment and finding way too much, 3 Theta cameras and 1 Insta 360 not even sure what model anymore. So, I won't be buying one anytime soon. Looks nice. | ||

| The supported Insta360 cameras have been notoriously Noisy in both Zillow and Matterport tours. I believe Insta360 relies to much on the InstaStudio for processing images | ||

| @DanSmigrod My biggest issue with the Insta360's is that images have to be ran through Insta360 Studio in order to get a quality image. So, Shooters using the Insta360's for Zillow or Matterport tours are left asking why are the images so grainy. If Insta360 could somehow manage to process 360 stills in camera that matched the quality of images coming out of their Insta360 Studio I'd possibly consider their cameras. But, for those wanting to shoot Zillow or Matterport I recommend Ricoh's Z1 or Theta X. Rumors of a Replacement to Ricoh's SC2 (their budget 360 camera) are starting to swirl. But, Ricoh keeps details pretty close to their chest |

| I had an Insta360 ambassador ask me why his Zillow tours looked so, bad when he was shooting with the Dual 1" model and I told him that it has to do with how Insta360 relies on Insta360 Studio to process images. He picked up a Ricoh for shooting Zillow tours in his market but, he cannot speak publicly about using Ricoh's for tours or he would loose his income stream from Insta360 |

| @lilnitsch Thanks for the backstory and example Insta360 Zillow 3D home tour. Since Matterport has announced that it will support the Insta360 X5 this year (2025), do you think Matterport + Insta360 will use Insta360 Studio in their workflow to improve the image quality? Best, Dan |

| @DanSmigrod Doubtful as you need to process the images with Insta360 Studio on the desktop or mobile which would be a step before using the images in a Matterport or Zillow tour. While Matterport has a Android beta allowing for adding of edited 360 images Zillow does not allow for adding of images outside of their capture app |

| @lilnitsch Do you think the processing could be done via an API that Matterport could use? Dan |

| @DanSmigrod did they elaborate on full compatibility, because like @lilnitsch was saying if the camera works that is nice but if quality is not there it is not helpful. Like for me I am still looking for something portable I can always carry with me. For now I use the Theta Z1 but it is older and I keep hoping for something just a little better, but just as portable and convenient. | ||

| @ron0987 If I were just doing generic 360 tours (CloudPano, Kuula, etc)the X5 might do it for me but, my daily use for 360 camera is for Zillow's 3D home tours (15 so far in May)in which Ricoh's Z1 is still king occasionally I'll use my Theta X Rumors are starting to swirl around a release of a new Ricoh 360 camera though it is expected to be a more entry level camera likely a replacement to the SC2 |

| @ron0987 Thank you for asking. I sent an email to Insta360 today (Friday, 9 May 2025) asking if the Insta360 Studio quality workflow can be implemented by Matterport in the integration. Enjoy your weekend. Dan |
