- Product Name: X3 5.7K 360 Degree Action Camera
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.0" (6.4 x 4.8mm)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- 360 Degree Capture: true (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Exposure Control
- Maximum Aperture: f/1.94 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 6.7 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Effective Pixels: 16.59 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Display
- Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 6K (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 5.7K (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)

Insta360 has made some of the most fun and interesting cameras of the past few years and the new Insta360 X3 is no different. The X3 is a 360-degree camera with two super-wide lenses that capture everything around you, allowing you to 'reframe' the footage into a standard movie later. But a host of upgrades mean it's also now much more usable as a traditional action camera in 'single-lens' mode. But on the X3 you can now shoot in 4K resolution in this 'single-lens' mode, making it more like having two cameras in one.
- 5.7K 360° capture: Capture everything around you with 5.7K 360-degree capture.
- 72MP 360° photo: 360° photos just got a huge upgrade. Now capture 72 megapixel stills with more detail than ever before.
- 360° active HDR: An innovative new HDR video mode for action sports. Active HDR keeps your video stabilized as you move, while keeping details in the highlights and shadows for more vibrant footage.
- Single lens mode in stunning 4K: Just want to shoot first-person videos without reframing? Shoot wide-angle videos in Single Lens Mode and share instantly to social media. Now upgraded to 4K30fps. At 2.7K resolution, you can also shoot an extremely wide 170° video with MaxView.
- FlowState stabilization: No matter the action, get smooth video with X3’s best-in-class action cam image stabilization.
- The magic of reframing: The magic of 360 capture is the ability to choose the best angle after the fact. Easy AI-powered reframing tools in the Insta360 app make it easy to find the perfect, so you’ll never miss a shot again.
- Impossible third-person views: The Invisible Selfie Stick disappears in your edit, enabling you to capture aerial angles and third-person perspectives that are impossible to achieve with other cameras. No drone, no problem!
- 1/2” sensor: Capture photos and videos with more detail thanks to a brand-new 1/2” sensor.
- 8K 360 timelapse: Take next-level 360 timelapse videos in stunning 8K quality, thanks to X3’s new sensor.
- 4K 120fps bullet time: Transport yourself to the Matrix with 4K120fps or 3K180fps slow-mo. Bullet Time looks more cinematic than ever with upgraded 4K resolution and higher frame rates.
- 360° horizon lock: Unlock an entirely new level of action cam image stabilization. Rotate X3 in any direction and watch the horizon stay level.
- Rugged + waterproof: Rugged and IPX8 waterproof to 33ft (10m) straight out of the box. Grab the Dive Case for seemless stitching of your underwater 360 footage down to 164ft (50m).
- Crisp audio: With 4 mics and a fully upgraded audio algorithm, X3’s audio is more natural and balanced.
- Pre-recording: Pre-recording mode is designed for when you know you want to record something but you’re not sure when it will happen. Pre-recording saves 15/30s of footage before you even press the shutter button to start recording, so that you’ll never miss a key moment.
- Loop Recording: Loop recording mode enables continuous video recording, overwriting the beginning of your video to allow for new footage to be captured. It saves memory card space and is very useful for using the camera as a dashcam.
- Bigger screen: 2.29" touchscreen with tempered glass. A clearer and brighter screen gives you a better preview of your photos and videos, with an easier-to-use interface.
- AI editing: Editing viral clips for social media is easy, fast and fun with the AI-powered Insta360 app. Creators can keep discovering new effects in Shot Lab, which is regularly updated with new AI editing templates.
- Photo animator: Turn static 360 photos into animated videos in a tap with the Photo Animator.With AI facial recognition and preset effects, the app will make animations for you.

Always a good buy
The X3's high-resolution photos, responsive controls, smooth app connection, and excellent stabilization have drastically shortened my post-capture processing times and provided me with useable digital assets straight from the camera. Every detail is captured by the camera's 18-megapixel sensor and 5.7K resolution. The 360-degree capabilities of the Insta360 X3 give my projects a new angle. The Insta360 app's built-in editing and control tools allow me to create visually spectacular digital assets. Exposure, color, and effects may all be tweaked with this app. Compared to videos shot without FlowState stabilization, stabilized ones look much more professional. Due to the Insta360 X3's small size and lightweight, I can easily carry it around and use it whenever I need to. Usually, I keep it in my front pocket. It's easy to use because of its simplistic design and controls. The versatility of the camera is enhanced by its compatibility with a variety of mounts and attachments. I can attach it to my rover (Remote Control car with mount) drone or invisible stick and tripod. Planning and packing extra batteries hasn't changed the experience, you may need them for longer shoots. Depending on how I shoot that day, I can plug in a portable battery pack, which gives me longer uninterrupted shooting time. The Insta360 X3 has been an indispensable tool for recording and distributing my 360 photos and videos. As a side note- I also have a Ricoh Theta Z1, but my Insta360's are my go-to cameras.

Great camera, with a just as great app!
This camera has to be the best 360° camera on the market. At least until GoPro release the Max2. Editing your footage using the insta360 app is very simple and easy! Using this camera is fun and allows you guys to tell a story using this camera in a pretty fun way. If you haven't (I am sure you have) checked out the hundreds of YouTube videos on this camera get to it. You can make videos while leaving this camera on a tripod and with the insta360 app you can have the footage follow you as you do whatever. I mean I can go on and on but this review would be super long. I have made a few videos using this camera if you want to check it out my YouTube channel name is 'Jonasegway'. If you are thinking about getting this camera but have any questions, you could send me a message on YouTube and I'll get back to you almost immediately and if your question warrants a detailed answer in a video format, I got you! There are a good amount of accessories I would recommend if you have an extra $50-$250 laying around for splurging depending on what you are looking to do with this camera. Any questions? Find me on YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat. Jonasegway is my name on all platforms! P.S please understand although these cameras are super fun and facilities the ease of use for making fun content, their lenses must be protected/and or cared for delicately. If you get even a small scratch, your footage will show it and it WILL be sorta ruined. There are lens covers that I would recommend using when you can. These lenses are replaceable but only if you do it yourself. Insta360 offers a service to replace your lens but the cost is almost ¾th the price you will pay purchasing this camera so please please please handle this camera with care but don't forget to have fun. I would say keep your lens covers on at all times until you are ready to begin recording!
