The Insta360 X5 could be the most user-friendly 360 camera to date.
Insta360 introduced 8K recording functionality to its X-series with the unveiling of the X4 in 2024. This year, the brand is concentrating on providing higher quality footage while also enhancing the durability of its 360-degree camera. Although it lacks the Leica lens found in the Insta360 One R or Ace Pro models, the new X5 features a replaceable lens system, ensuring that your 360 camera remains functional even if the lens gets scratched or damaged during your adventures.
I’m looking forward to the Insta360’s X5 360-degree camera because it offers a larger sensor and a quicker processor for better low-light video performance. Additionally, it features several important enhancements such as extended battery life, improved waterproofing, and more to enrich the overall shooting experience.
