Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What is the Insta360 Bullet Time Kit and what does it do? The Insta360 Bullet Time Kit is an accessory bundle designed to help you capture a unique cinematic effect, famously known as "bullet time". By swinging your Insta360 camera overhead in a smooth arc, you can create incredible videos where the camera appears to fly around you in epic slow-motion, while you stay in focus.
-
What's included in the Bullet Time Kit? The standard kit includes two main components: the Bullet Time Handle and a specially reinforced Invisible Selfie Stick. The handle provides a smooth 360-degree rotation and also cleverly folds out to become a tabletop tripod.
-
How does the "bullet time" effect work? The effect is created by using a compatible Insta360 camera set to Bullet Time mode, which records at a high frame rate. As you swing the camera overhead using the handle and selfie stick, the camera captures a full 360-degree view. The Insta360 app then processes this footage, slowing it down and using an advanced stitching algorithm to make the selfie stick completely disappear from the final shot.
-
Which Insta360 cameras are compatible with this kit? The Bullet Time Kit is compatible with a wide range of Insta360 cameras, including the Insta360 X4, X3, ONE X2, ONE RS (with 360 Lens), and ONE R (with 360 Lens). It is crucial to use the reinforced selfie stick included in the bundle for safety and stability during the swinging motion.
-
Can I use the handle as a regular tripod? Yes, the Bullet Time Handle can be unfolded to serve as a stable tabletop tripod. It's perfect for stationary shots or time-lapses indoors. However, it is not recommended for use as an extended tripod outdoors, especially in windy conditions.
-
What are some tips for getting the best bullet time shots? For optimal results, shoot in a well-lit, open outdoor space to ensure your safety and the clarity of the video. Swing the camera smoothly and steadily at a rate of approximately one rotation per second. Try to keep the selfie stick as level and parallel to the ground as possible.
-
Can I use a different selfie stick with the Bullet Time Handle? It is strongly recommended to only use the selfie stick provided in the kit. This selfie stick has been specially reinforced to handle the forces generated while swinging the camera. Using a standard, unreinforced selfie stick could result in damage to your camera.
