Power button problem

Bought it and it turned on fine, but then it wouldn’t turn on again. Turns out theres a problem when powering on via the power button. It needs to be juiced with the charging cable and then it turns on normally but if you leave it after a while without using the same issues comes back again. I read in a couple of forums that people are having the same problem. So i dont know if i need to return it or what. Also, somehow when i hold the power button and it doesn’t turn on, sometimes clicking the button 2 times makes it turned on. Im guessin it’s a software issue that needs to be resolved with a firmware update.

I just picked up the Insta360 X5 — and it’s absolutely worth every penny. The 8K 360° video is insanely sharp and rich in detail, and the larger 1/1.28″ sensors + AI-powered PureVideo mode make low-light shooting much more usable than earlier models.
The FlowState stabilization keeps footage smooth even when I’m biking or walking, and the “invisible selfie stick” effect turns casual shots into cinematic, drone-like perspectives.
Battery life is solid — I’ve recorded nearly 90 minutes of mixed 8K/5.7K footage on a single charge, and recharging is fast when I plug it in between sessions.
The built-in audio surprisingly holds up even outdoors, and the water resistance + rugged, lens-replaceable build give me confidence to take it on travel, hikes, or adventures without worrying about damage.
Overall — if you want a powerful, future-proof camera for travel, 360° video, vlogging, or social media content — the X5 is a no-brainer. It feels like a compact production studio in your hand.

This is my first 360 camera and I will admit that I am pleasantly surprised. It has been so easy to use and gives me so much creative control with out the hassle of video editing. The cameras are amazing but the software could win you over alone. Huge Plus: some of the best night time footage you can get for a 360 camera.

I highly recommend the X5! Whether I'm streaming, swimming in the pool, or letting my toddler film, this camera holds up perfectly. The photos are fantastic, and the replaceable lens guards give me total peace of mind regarding scratches. It’s durable, easy to use, and opens up so many creative possibilities. Love it!

Massive Upgrade – Best 360 Camera Yet

I previously owned the Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360 edition and while I loved the image quality, I always felt it lacked durability and ease of use in the field. Enter the X5—and wow, it's light years ahead. The 8K resolution is noticeably sharper, the low-light performance is stronger, and the overall build feels way more rugged and reliable. Insta360 really nailed the stabilization and reframing workflow here—it’s smoother and faster than ever.
I’ll admit I was a bit disappointed when they discontinued the 1-Inch 360 version, but after using the X5, I’m completely sold. This is hands down the best 360 camera I’ve used, and a must-have for any serious creator.

Design & Handling: Compact, modular, and waterproof to 10 m; solid feel but lightweight enough for helmets or boards.
Image & Video: Dual-lens captures seamless 5.7K@30 fps and 3K@100 fps; excellent color and dynamic range in most light conditions.
Stabilization & Editing: FlowState delivers gimbal-level smoothness; mobile app and AI “Shot Lab” make reframing and export effortless.
Battery & Controls: About 60–70 min runtime per battery; easy hot-swap and dedicated wireless-pairing buttons.
Drawbacks: Noticeable noise beyond ISO 1600, touchscreen visibility in direct sun is limited, and no built-in GPS.
Overall: A true “game-changer” for immersive 360° action footage—ready to be your go-to action camera.

The king of 360 cameras (for now)

If you want a camera that breaks out of the typical GoPro mold, letting you capture everything around you and pick angles later, this is one of the most powerful 360 options you can buy right now at Best Buy. It’s especially strong for travel, POV adventures, and social content creation.
-Weight sucks but not a deal breaker
-You CAN change out the lens
-I was able to record for about an hour before battery died on standard settings 4k/24fps
-Editing videos on app is a breeze (once you get the hang of it)
THIS WILL NOT BE A BAD PURCHASE, EITHER SAVE YOUR MONEY OR WAIT FOR A DEAL.

This is amazing. The raw video and audio are really good. You dont need any windmuffs or dead cats to filter the wind noise. The battery life is also exceptional. I rarely have to change the battery. Also, being able to replace a lens myself is a game changer for a 360 camera.

Camera works great, but not for real estate media

The camera is outstanding quality and easy to use. The HDR works fantastic. A small note to people who may be purchasing this for real estate media, i purchased tbis camera for 3d cirtual tours and this camera is not yet supported in apps like zillow 3D or Matterport, so it wont work seamlessly like the x4 or matterport caneras. You can still use this camera to perform real estate work, but it is more complicated and requires extra steps. My own fault for not dping more research before buying it, but still plan on keeping the camera as it is a wonderful device still.

The Insta360 X5 is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to 360-degree video capture. It delivers stunning 8K resolution with crisp details and vibrant colors that make every shot look cinematic. The improved stabilization is mind-blowingly smooth, even when filming action scenes or walking through rough terrain.
One of the standout features is the low-light performance—it’s significantly better than previous models. Night shots come out cleaner, with far less noise. The new AI-powered editing tools in the Insta360 app are intuitive and powerful, making post-production easy and even fun.

never going back to another 360 camera again

The Insta360 X5 is a huge leap forward in 360 cameras. The 8K resolution makes a noticeable difference when reframing footage — details look sharper, and the image holds up even when zooming in during edits. FlowState stabilization does a great job keeping shots smooth, whether I’ve mounted it on a car, helmet, or just handheld while walking.
Editing in the Insta360 app is straightforward, and being able to “reframe” after the fact is a creative lifesaver for action shots or real estate walkthroughs. Low-light performance is better than older models, though bright daylight is where it really shines. Battery life is decent, but I definitely recommend picking up the fast-charge hub and extras if you’re filming long sessions.
Overall, the X5 feels like the most versatile camera in my kit right now. It’s compact, clever, and opens up shooting possibilities you just can’t get with a standard action cam.

New daily video camera!

Got this camera to update my camera collection and I’m obsessed with it. It’s my new daily video camera. It’s 360, fits in my hand, can fit in a little satchel bag and can charge close to full in 20 minutes on a battery pack. This camera can literally shoot a full days worth of footage and not miss a moment. And it’s also waterproof on top of everything and has replacement lens. There’s no reason to not have one of these in your arsenal.
