- General
- Brand: Insta360
- Model Number: CINSAAHA
- Product Name: X5 8K 360 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: 1/2.9” (4.98 x 3.74 mm)
- Image Resolution (Display): 8K (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- 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.)
- Optical Zoom: None (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image Stabilization: Hybrid (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 360 Degree Capture: true (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): MP4, DNG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic
- Focus Modes: Automatic
- Exposure Control
- Minimum Aperture: f/2 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/2 (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 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: 72 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 6 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Display

- Aspect Ratio: 16:9, 1:1, 2.35:1 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 8K (4320p) (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): 8K30fps, 5.7K60fps, 4K120fps, (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.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 120 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true

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.

GREAT Camera
I’ve been using the Insta360 X5 for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly changed the way I capture memories. The 360° footage is insanely crisp — even at night or in low light — and it’s so fun to reframe shots in post without missing a moment. The stabilization keeps action footage smooth, and swapping lenses is a game-changer if things get scratched or you want a fresh look. The battery life holds up better than I expected, though it can get warm during long 8K sessions. For the price, it’s one of the most capable cameras I’ve owned and has quickly become my go-to for travel and adventures.

Great upgrade
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.

It’s not placebo it’s definitely bigger; sensor
If you’re chasing that next level of 360 capture, Insta360 X5 is where the game changes. It feels like holding a compact production studio in your hand, sleek, sturdy, and brimming with possibilities. The footage is sharp, the colors vibrant, and low light performance is a noticeable step up. You can finally push into dusky trails or late evening city shots without footage falling apart. Honestly, it makes even casual clips feel cinematic. Compared to the X4, X5 is clearly a more polished tool. Stabilization is smoother, stitching cleaner, and detail sharper. The bigger sensor pays off, especially in low light, giving your footage a richness that makes editing afterward more rewarding. Controls are straightforward, and the upgraded screen feels like it was designed to actually be used instead of tolerated. What really stands out is durability. This camera doesn’t just look tough, it has survived travel, dust, beach sand, and more than a few clumsy drops, yet it still powers on without missing a beat. That said, battery life can feel like the one bottleneck. If you’re filming all day, you’ll want a spare or two on hand. All told, Insta360 X5 is more than just a step forward, it’s a leap. If you’re serious about capturing immersive footage that looks professional without hauling professional gear, this camera is a no brainer. Minor battery trade offs aside, she’s a dream.
