If you want a super cool 360 camera that’s easy to use and makes awesome videos, the Insta360 X5 is a winner. It shoots crazy sharp 8K video, even in dark places. Think of it like a GoPro that can see everything around you.
Why you’ll love it:
• Awesome video quality – It captures everything in stunning 360 degrees, even in low light.
• Tough & fixable – Dropped it? No big deal. The lens can be swapped out easily.
• Waterproof & windproof – Take it to the beach or on a windy hike with no worries.
• Long battery life – Shoots for up to 3 hours. Fast charging too!
• Easy editing – The app can automatically make cool videos for you. No pro skills needed.
What to keep in mind:
• Some older Insta360 accessories won’t fit this model.
• The app is great but might have a few hiccups – updates will fix that.

Amazing Camera With Aweful Functionality

As an avid content creator, I was thrilled to get my hands on the Insta360 X5, especially for my recent outing to EPIC Universe. The camera truly excels in capturing stunning photos and videos with remarkable detail and vibrant colors that seem ahead of their time. The ability to connect it to my wheelchair using extension clips and sticks while being able to preview everything in 360 degrees on my phone is a game-changer. The visual quality, particularly in 8K, is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the potential of advanced imaging technology. The battery life holds up pretty long as well if not exposed to the heat long. Inside I left it on record for over 4 hours before the battery started blinking, but outside in the Florida heat, the battery got too hot and it shut down after about two hours.
However, my enthusiasm was dampened by several significant drawbacks. The process of converting files, navigating the cloud system, and ensuring WiFi connectivity has proven to be quite cumbersome. Furthermore, the limited editing capabilities and challenges in sharing content on platforms like YouTube and social media have made the experience frustrating. In comparison, I found that my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra produced equally impressive visuals with far more user-friendly editing and uploading options. It’s disheartening to feel that such a state-of-the-art device struggles with essential tasks that should enhance the overall experience. Ultimately, while the Insta360 X5 has extraordinary potential, it currently falls short in delivering a seamless user experience. Until Insta360 addresses the shortcomings of its cloud system, enhances the editing capabilities, improves conversion processes, and simplifies the uploading procedures to ensure compatibility with YouTube and other prominent social media platforms, I am unable to recommend the Insta360 product. The current limitations hinder the overall user experience and functionality, which are critical for individuals seeking to effectively share their content online. It is essential for the company to prioritize these improvements to meet the evolving needs of its users and remain competitive in the market.

current latest worry free action camera

Despite it being a camera with highlight of bright night video, I never had the chance to get it out at night. But day time, I do. For Day time, quality is great when you have good light, but when under special areas where light can not auto balance it self, it will look like this.
There are times where the 360 at certain times, just will not auto align it self, even with the app and software, making the footage unusable and footage look like in the wrong direction in every way.
The built in wind filter helped a lot when i ride, and the lens replacement feature finally became worry free without the additional lens glare from adding a lens protector.
My unit came in brand new condition, no defects, nor any broken parts out of the box.

Took this camera to St. Croix for a scuba diving trip and it performed incredibly well. Captured stunning 360° photos and videos both above and below the water. I used it with and without the dive case and was impressed by the clarity and immersive quality of the footage. The compact size made it easy to travel with, and battery life was solid throughout the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking to document their adventures in a unique and engaging way.

This is Insta’s best camera yet! I love the low light shooting on this camera. The initial learning curve was fairly simple to grasp and still has a lot of features. Editing the footage in the phone app is simple too. Best thing about this 360 camera is that you don’t have to point to the subject. It always has whatever your shooting in frame.

Great action camera I’ve used it fly fishing snorkeling riding jet skis and wheeling and it’s color accuracy is better than the go pros and low light shots look just as amazing. It’s great being able to catch a fish and just hold it up know I got the perfect shot no matter where it is.

Absolutely love my new Insta OneX5! I am no stranger to Insta 360’s (had the 2 and the 4) and this new one delivers a punch with low light recording capabilities and interchangeable lenses in case you have to replace them if they break or scratch.
My shopping experience at Best Buy was also enjoyable. My order was processed super quick and I was able to have my camera in less than an hour after ordering.

I just got the Insta360 X5 and I’m absolutely blown away! The image quality, the stabilization, the creative possibilities – everything is next-level. This camera is a total game-changer, and I couldn’t be happier with it. If you’re into capturing the world in a whole new way, I 100% recommend it!

This is a home run of an action camera and the invisible selfie sick is amazing. Smooth and discreet, I dont think people realize its a camera, because it looks like a stick. The audio is captures is impressive. I cracked my lend yesterrday when the camera fell over while extended and did a face plant into concrete. Good news is I can get a replacemt and self repair.

Love this!! First time owning a 360 camera, and so worth it! I’m on a bit of a learning curve, but lots of good info out there on using and editing! I like the fact that if a lens gets scratched, etc.. that you can easily replace it yourself. Bought some accessories for it as we enjoy being out on the water.

Personlly i use it for daily vlogging and motorcycle. Stabalization and battey life is on point as always. I do love the interchangeable lenses and the upgraded sensor. It used to cost me over 100 bucks to get a single lens repaired by Insta360, but rn it only costs $30 and i guess i can finish it at home within 10min!!

I exchanged my Osmo Pocket DJI for this. This works way better for my needs (recording DJ Sets in a club). FULL 360 recording capability leaving the post processing endless!

Great quality and ease of use are the key points for this camera. 8K is crazy good; in editing, you can zoom in like a pro. Take a walk while recording and edit like a director with multiple cameras.

The product is of good quality and there is no problem. If you are going to use it only as a camera and have only 1 camera, do not forget to buy a microphone. There are special microphones for Insta 360. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My travel vlogs have never been this engaging. The all-around view is unbeatable. It would have been great if it
included more accessories, but finding extras hasn't beena big deal.
