I have been shooting with the ONE R production unit for almost a week now — and I have lots of hands-on experience to share. I will highly recommand to watch this first impressions video first:

Modular design — a camera trying to be ALL.

So the biggest selling point of ONE R is its modular design. It can shoot 360 videos in 5.7K 30fps with H.265 compression in 100Mbps bitrate. The 360 Mod has 2 F2.0 7.2mm equiv. lenses, and the casing is metal — not like ONE X — which is cheap plastic. And it can turn into a GoPro Hero 8 with the 4K wide angel Mod. It shoots 4K 60fps, and it is exactly like Hero 8.
In January 15th, they will also release a 1-inch sensor Mod co-design with Leica — with a F3.2 14.4mm equiv lens. I don’t have it yet — when I do, I will make an in-depth review of it. This makes ONE R the only sports camera with a 1-inch sensor — so if you are an action sports lover — that is huge.
