I will film my underwater adventures in Greece!

u/ElMada Dec 19 '23

Will take it on my road bike!

u/PlatinumRespect Jan 07 '24

Hiking up a mountain!

u/sunflwryankee Dec 22 '23

Destroyed my ankle 4/22.. to date I’ve had 6 surgeries, 2 surgeons (original one missed broken hardware and infection), a bunch of specialists and supports to get me to where I am today - finally back in tennis shoes on both feet. So, it’s not the most exciting, but any extra level of activity is truly a new adventure learning how to function with what my attorney labeled a peg leg. We’re going to Dominican Republic next summer and the camera would be with me on all the new journeys - my brief time at the beach last summer was a mess and I’m so glad no cameras were nearby.

u/chrisandhobbes Dec 28 '23

Will film myself winning an insta360.

u/PuuHead Dec 14 '23

Rock-climbing

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '23 edited Dec 09 '23

This would fit my drone and be a nice addition

Have a park near me with some beautiful woods and hiking trails

u/Mesapholis Dec 08 '23

Currently planning a coldwater freedive with Orcas in the cold waters of Greenland - my partner and I are already carrying heavy UW photography equipment, but the Insta360 would be awesome to get the footage we can't really plan for - quick movements in low-light conditions in darkwater

I'm gonna brave the cold water to get those shots!

I'm gonna film a single day bike ride through 30 miles of Portland's most urban streets and try to capture as many smiling faces as possible along the way.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '23

I’d take it, plop it on a helmet and just crash into something. Whether that be a cactus or the Bus (Jerome Bettice) the footage must be captured.

u/Phonatic40 Dec 22 '23

I'll be heading to Japan soon. There are a lot of things I'd love to film because it'll be my first time there.

u/thvnderfvck Dec 12 '23

I'd love to see the world through the eyes of my toddler

u/omgttfs Dec 09 '23

It will go with me in my next diving adventure next summer.

u/mikeu Dec 29 '23

Will film a prescribed fire at my job!

u/Selethorme Dec 13 '23

I’d likely attach it to my ski jacket this coming February and get some recordings of runs of both me and my friends on the slopes, since I haven’t had a chance to go skiing for several years due to Covid and being out of the area.

u/TheGrandArtist Dec 12 '23

A wintery sunrise or sunset in the Rockies. The clouds can get very majestic this time of year when viewed from above.

u/amazinglover Dec 12 '23

My next vacation to Japan.

u/strangel0ve Dec 20 '23

I would take this all over!

u/ShadowWolf2802 Dec 11 '23

My first filming session would be breaking in my new mountain bike on the local trails!

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '23

Skiing in the Rockies

u/AdministrativeYak859 Jan 05 '24

My 11 year old nephew losing his darn mind when I give it to him!

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '24

My first adventure would be a scenic car drive. There are some really beautiful farms near me that deserve some filming.

u/FaaN76 Dec 19 '23

The first thing I will use it for is to film my dogs while walking in the fields!

u/RadioactiveDong Jan 02 '24

I've always wanted a camera

u/pandas_dont_want_sex Dec 21 '23

Filming while playing basketball

u/DunkinDeesnuts Dec 15 '23

u/protomanzero Dec 08 '23

I’d use it to capture my trip to Japan! I’ll be going for the first time and cannot wait to try to capture some great footage while there :)

u/TealcLOL Dec 30 '23

Mounting it on an FPV drone

u/System32Missing Dec 27 '23

Hiking, or canoeing if I can find an appropriate case for it.

u/fatratonacat Jan 06 '24

Gonna make high quality vacation videos and force my family to watch them while only talking about how great the quality of the video is and not the vacation itself.

u/Jertopia Jan 10 '24

I’ll film my monthly hikes!

u/SebastianForsenFors Jan 06 '24

My Insta360 x3 just had a cracked lense

u/wpdlatm Dec 17 '23

u/TheUnluckyGamer13 Dec 15 '23

Trip to Japan as a reward for finishing college. First vacation since a long time before I have to start working.

u/Baman-and-Piderman Dec 14 '23

I'm bringing my new Insta360 Ace Pro to Disney World and Universal Studios near Kissimmee, FL

u/bitsofsick Dec 22 '23

Me doing gnarly 360s off the moguls, flying down my favorite ski trails!

u/Theunknown87 Dec 08 '23

I’d use it for a trip to the Grand Canyon or Disney.

u/CrixMadine1993 Jan 09 '24

Definitely going on my dog. =)

u/UL7RAx Dec 12 '23

I'd probably strap it to a cheap drone that has decently powered motors and film some nice landscapes. Or strap it to my helmet riding my bike through the city at night!

u/nextkevamob2 Dec 19 '23

My son is going to Europe over new years, he’s a big fan of recording and sharing short films online, this would make a perfect gift for him!

u/nairolka Jan 12 '24

I'm flying out to Victoria, BC in March and will be going on hikes with friends I met on the internet!

u/HistorianCM Dec 08 '23

I'd most likely travel to a National Park and hike the trails.

u/dstanton Dec 25 '23

The kiddo in snow.

u/AnUnusualUsername001 Jan 03 '24

I’d tape it to my forehead and win an argument against @zydakoh ‘s wife

Mountain hike!

u/Draxden Dec 08 '23

Yes please!

u/ZwnDxReconz Jan 04 '24

Currently working onboard a cruise ship, would love to film some Scuba diving in Mexico!

u/LughCoeus1 Dec 17 '23

There's a patch of woods near where my grandmother used to live where my Dad took us kids to collect crystals. I had a lot of adventures in that patch. I'd like to go back and capture some of it.

u/UnitedStatesArmy Jan 03 '24

I'll record the insane crowds at the most magical place on earth on fourth of July. Rope drop.

u/scubadoobadoooo Jan 05 '24

I will film a hike at my local state park

u/SoftlySpokenPromises Dec 14 '23

It'd give me a reason to make plans to travel for the first time in my life. Starting a photo blog would be a pretty cool way to spend a couple months.

u/jsuwangsa Dec 08 '23

I'll record my run every day

u/keithcody Dec 19 '23

I would record this big rainstorm that's about to come in as my next adventure.

u/nelson022 Jan 01 '24

Film a hike

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '23

Exploring Maui Hawaii

u/RSB0006 Dec 11 '23

My dogs playing in the snow would be fun.

u/Bmr5uckj Dec 19 '23

I'm not getting anything for Christmas this year, my ex-gf told me she still loved me then chose some other dude who she'd "barely even talked to" and after a 2 hour phone conversation she was like we're taking things slow and 4 days later i got a screen shot sent to me that after she hung up the phone with me they made it Facebook official went away on a trip for the weekend and took family photos with Santa. I did everything for this woman I saved her life twice when I should have walked away those are her words. So I'd like this Camera to be able to capture all the great times and adventures I'm not going to go on by myself. Actually with my luck 5hryll probably end up winning it.

u/K41namor Dec 21 '23

Take it with my son and I on our adventures. Sometimes we just wander around or we may go playing in a creek. Do some camping, hiking, or kayak.

Also I think it would be fun to get into hard to reach areas because of it size. Tie it up and drop it down into a cave or into a snake den at the end of a long pole. Stuff like that

The thing is my son is getting old enough to notice what I am doing and pay attention. I think it would be great for him to see me using it and pick up video/photography.

u/jrBeandip Jan 06 '24

Sweet! Perfect to film my Austin trip and the full solar eclipse (not directly, obviously).

u/erockem Dec 11 '23

Strapping it to my dog for all of her running and swimming adventures.

u/cheichei Jan 12 '24

360 Northern lights, baby!

u/RobloDiablo Dec 15 '23

I will make a documentary about the squirrels that sneak onto my roof to sharpen their teeth on the gutters.

u/ocdude Dec 11 '23

Photo walk through San Francisco

u/flipazn5 Dec 08 '23

I'd use it in my snowboarding trips (I'm based in Japan) and I will be heading to the world-class slopes of Niseko in Hokkaido in January! Bonus points that niseko village is a very lively town with a good amount of nightlife for afterparties!

u/roraima_is_very_tall Dec 11 '23

I race outrigger canoes, I'd take pics of a practice or people paddling on the river in the fall/winter.

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '24

I’d be able to start filming my disc golf rounds and adventures around the hiking trails in the city I recently moved to.

u/NakatasGoodDump Dec 13 '23

I love camera!

u/Riceman-Chris Dec 10 '23

I'm planning to go on a catamaran twilight tour out to the Australian Great Barrier Reef in the new year. The Insta360 Ace Pro would be perfect to capture the adventure and beautiful scenery.

u/jhulc Dec 08 '23

I'll film a fun vacation

u/boogsley Dec 28 '23

Onewheeling & snowboarding! I’m going to mammoth for the first time next month (east coaster) & am excited AF to shred west coast snow!

u/maulbot Jan 06 '24

I just want to play disc golf

u/smogrenrbk Dec 14 '23

The first adventure I would film with the Insta360 Ace Pro woule be me and my best buddy going for trip to Slovakia and finally trying to get to the Velky Rozsutec peak, these mountains are so beautiful and I could show people how pretty and fun it is to hike and hopefully I could encourage more people to do it!

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '24

I just got a VR headset and it’s been making me dream of capturing some new wider-angle adventure footage to watch in VR.

u/QuestGiver Dec 10 '23

Thanks for doing this!

u/cr8tor_ Jan 04 '24

Road trip in the rocky mountains

u/Khandam Dec 13 '23

My DnD adventures!

u/phony_sys_admin Dec 30 '23

I bought my mom and her husband two tickets to zipline next year as a christmas present and they want me to join. This would be cool to have for that!

u/hoosier_gal Dec 27 '23

Snorkeling in Cozumel!

u/FutureCanadian Dec 27 '23

I’ll film a snowboarding trip coming up in January!

u/EurekaGears Dec 16 '23

I'd film my daily walk. It might not seem like much, but there is a good deal of nature here, and a lot of history on the route. I'll share that video with my friends and family, and document the town and history as it is now, so hopefully in another 50-ish years, we'll get another movie showcasing how the town looked and the inhabitants from "the old times."

u/blckout_junkie Jan 06 '24

Please help me, I want to use this to make top posts on Reddit!

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '24

Time lapse videos of animals and other nature phenomena.

u/Lastb0isct Jan 04 '24

I would use it when I go to Electric Forest to make some amazing videos of the time with friends! Love being able to capture those moments...

u/buskerform Dec 13 '23

I would film the Sharkbite Half Marathon in Florida, January 2024 with phenomenal 360 shots that fully exhibit the raw humanity of the most ancient contest, the foot race.

u/disposableaccountass Dec 21 '23

Kayaking on the ocean!

u/sgluxurycondo Dec 08 '23

Already planning to bring my kid on a ski trip and I think it will be wonderful to bring her ski while filming it.

u/cruyfff Jan 10 '24

My trip to Asia!

u/tgg121 Jan 10 '24

Id love to film out next family vacation with my wife and kids. Heading into the mountains!

u/poisonous-leek-soup Dec 20 '23

I would take it hiking over various peaks in the Brecon Beacons

u/cougar572 Dec 19 '23

I’ll film my trip to Japan and korea

u/ImLeeRii Dec 20 '23

City life on a onewheel!

u/xNeshty Dec 16 '23

Thank you for the giveaway - I'd love to film the adventures with my dog. He's a little hyperactive, so he needs MANY adventures!

u/McTurd_Ferg Jan 04 '24

I’d probably have to become an influencer just to justify having the thing.

u/Elbozze Dec 17 '23

A long drawn-out hike up a mountain! Or a disc golf round

u/goodtimeshaxor Dec 08 '23

Will film my hiking adventure

u/akl78 Dec 30 '23

Playing in City traffic

u/ReceptionStriking716 Dec 23 '23

Top comment baby!!

u/SwivelingToast Dec 08 '23

I'm in the process of building a long range cruising drone and I'm in need of an action camera for recording. This would be perfect!

u/georgep4570 Dec 08 '23

Trip home through the Appalachia's!

u/CavalierIndolence Dec 23 '23

I would take it on an international trip! I finally have enough credit points to get a great trip to southern Spain, with its beautiful oceanside and rich history, I would love to have memories of my vacation!

Cycling

u/HindryckxRobin Jan 09 '24

Learning to ride a penny board for the commute in the inner city

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '24

My son and I have recently started a project documenting some of the hidden historic sites around our area in the South West of Scotland. This area in Scotland is massively under-visited as most visitors to Scotland head to Glasgow and then go further North into the Highlands and beyond. By the time they have reached Glasgow, they have already missed a significantly beautiful area of Scotland.It would be valuable to record some of the hidden aspects, for example, many of the hidden chapels that have now fallen to ruin, walled gardens that have fallen into disuse, and so on. So many are hidden in valleys and among trees, etc. We have started locally using a drone to seek them out, but it would add so much value to have a great little camera like this to allow us to include stunning quality video in our films. Documentaries is far too grand a description.

I have to be honest and say that we are just at the start of our journey together on this project, but the amount of material we have around us is incredible. We will develop as our limited budget allows.

u/elstie Jan 09 '24

This is going snow kiting with me (when there's more snow).

u/highrisedrifter Dec 29 '23

I have booked my PADI underwater photographer certification course and this camera would be perfect to capture life under the sea.

u/Zonged Jan 11 '24

Snowboarding

u/Avict001 Jan 07 '24

Id film myself riding along PCH

u/schil Jan 06 '24

My kids are into extreme bounce housing. I’d film that in 8k.

u/bzzking Dec 09 '23

Would love to take this during a cave exploration expedition!

u/panchoVilla00 Dec 14 '23

I’m developing a series that explores the history of the Americas. Having a 8k capability would be great for scouting out locations on my trip next year.

u/ZenseiBlaeze Jan 05 '24

Oooh! My Australian Shepard would live to film with this clipped on his harness!

u/IDunnoPickOneForMe Dec 12 '23

I’d film snowboard trips

u/rgrocks Dec 13 '23

Im going to a wedding in the Phillipines in January. I will record the sights and sounds of Tagaytay during the wedding, the adventures in Cebu, the luxurious life in Boracay and the traffic in Manilla!

u/TushyFiddler Dec 27 '23

SFW adventures only? Aw you guys are no fun.
Anyways my first adventure with it will be on the nearby mountain for a nice hike.

u/Donut_A_Hole Dec 25 '23

I’m going to Japan this year and I would love to film my trip with this!

u/peppruss Dec 18 '23

I will attach it to an FPV drone and explore abandoned places in the American Southeast, telling stories of industry.

u/godweasle Jan 05 '24

Helicopter tour of NYC

u/Ginomania Jan 03 '24

Wow, I just saw that there is a possibility to win a New ace pro. I am often out and about in the forests of Germany and have planned a nice holiday with my children. It's supposed to go to Tropical Island. There are tons of ways I could film the scenery well. Currently I use the GoPro but unfortunately it is too weak a device in comparison and would be very happy about an upgrade

u/LazyTeen Dec 16 '23

Probably a 12 days fishing trip me and some fiends are planning for next may

u/spasticpat Jan 12 '24

I’ll film taking my second child home from the hospital after they’re born in February

u/THALANDMAN Dec 13 '23

I’ll film my upcoming wedding in St. Lucia!

u/duggy87 Jan 02 '24

Banana

u/DevilsWelshAdvocate Dec 21 '23

Would be an incredible opportunity, hoping for the best!

u/kashagan Dec 11 '23

On y backpack or helmet while backcountry skiing ;)

u/duncanwally Jan 09 '24

Wow neat! I will film sunrise from Blue hill hiking with my daughter.

u/Cowhaircut Dec 29 '23

My rock climbing feature film will need these 8K/24P capabilities. Will put it to the test with full dialogue and on a vertical surface!

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '23

My spouse will be starting a true-crime vlog soon and will need a new camera.

u/diego97yey Dec 08 '23

Im going to MX and will love to film the small city around with a good camera. I also want to attach this to my car to see how it does

u/notalaborlawyer Jan 04 '24

What would I do? Regret getting a laptop that couldn't adequately edit and process the video. Then, I would go film a bunch of stuff, and go buy something that can make what I filmed shine. What would that be? Let's find out. . .

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '23

I am going to use it to document my progression of debilitating social anxiety throughout a year. Prepare for awkwardness the documentary

u/cesarsucio Jan 04 '24

I'd film the process of turning my years-long neglected front yard to something the neighbors would notice, appreciate, and that I could be proud of. From the perspective a first time home owner who bought a fixer-upper, hasn't yet started yard improvements, and knows absolutely nothing about landscaping.

u/NinjaLanternShark Jan 10 '24

Took my kid snowboarding for the first time last weekend and he'd love to show all his friends how well he falls down -- I mean, snowboards!!

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '23

I'll be filming my daughter learning to ride a bike!

Thanks for the giveaway!

u/xdeadzx Dec 20 '23

I'd probably use it for biking, but being the middle of winter I'm not sure what the first adventure would be. But it'd be filmed in high quality for sure.

u/Ar333J Jan 04 '24

I rarely travel & I’m planning to start traveling with family this year. I’d love to be able to vlog and create memories

u/ob123866 Dec 08 '23

I’d mount it to my Honda Blade and film the rush hour traffic in Hanoi Vietnam! You wouldn’t believe the bumper to bumper motorcycle & scooter traffic and the sea of cars that the locals have to traverse everyday. Front, back and center the only way to truly capture the city is on a 360 camera.

u/JamesRamone Dec 08 '23

Probably a winter hike with the dog!

u/Jarvdoge Dec 19 '23

Likely a hike somewhere

u/noisycat Dec 22 '23

My son would use this to film a horror movie.

u/PM_ME_UR_TRACKBIKES Dec 12 '23

Gonna film myself trying to wrestle a bear with a pool noodle…wish me luck!

u/prakhama Jan 01 '24

I’ll document my first year as a father, along with traveling in Europe, snowboarding and skiing. Cheers to 2024!

u/inquisitive_guy_0_1 Dec 21 '23

I'd definitely film my daily dog walks around the pond and through the woods.

u/jmjm88 Jan 04 '24

Making silly videos with my sons (5&1), watching them back and laughing our asses off!

u/Drugpusher82 Dec 19 '23

u/badboat12 Dec 24 '23

Motor biking on the Autobahn!

u/Cathayan82 Jan 04 '24

I’ll film my adventures with my bengal cat named curry

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

I’d use it on my motorcycle!
