 The best result I have achieved is to have **[[insta360_one_rs_wifi_reverse_engineering|reverse engineered the WiFi protocol]]**, so that I can control the camera with **[[https://github.com/RigacciOrg/insta360-wifi-api/|open source programs (Python scripts)]]** instead of the crap Android app that comes with it.

+===== Horizon lock and stabilization =====
+The Insta360 ONE RS provides the **horizon lock** feature, but only in **software post-processing**.
+To enable it:
+  * Tap the **video parameters** at the bottom of the screen to open the **adjust video mode** menu.
+  * Select **Post** instead of //FlowState//. This means that video stabilization will be performed in software post-production (out of the camera). FlowState means instead that stabilization is performed in-camera (videos saved on the SD card are already stabilized).
+  * Select a **4K** video mode with **30 fps or lower**.
+  * **Swipe left** from the right side to open the **shooting parameters** menu, you will find the **Horizon Lock** option that can be enabled or disabled.
+Like any other videos captured with **Post FlowState stabilization**, you will find unstabilized videos on the SD card. The footage will have un-cropped frames and embedded metadata about **angular velocity**, **accelerometer** and **exposure time**. For each clip, both the low resolution video and the full resolution video have the same metadata.
+It is possible to extract such metadata e.g. with the **exiftool** command line tool:
+<code bash>
+exiftool -api RequestAll=3 -api largefilesupport=1 -extractEmbedded "video.mp4"
+</code>
+It seems that there are about 1000 samples per second for angular velocity and accelerometer and one exposure time for each frame.

 ===== Firmware Upgrades =====
-It is possibile to upgrade the firmware using the Android app: the app will check if an upgrade is available from the internet, then it downloads and copies it to the camera. It is also possibile to manually download a new firmware from the [[https://www.insta360.com/download|download site]], copy the file **Insta360OneRFW.bin** into the root directory of the SD card and power-on the camera.
