    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Love the low light performance!

    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.

    The X5 nails night riding visuals mostly.

    Cruising through city streets, the center clarity is insane. X5 nails streetlight reflections on chrome better than my old rig. It could capture gas station signs in pitch dark. But I noticed some edge blur and noise during high-speed riding. Here's what worked for me: increase ISO and use faster shutter speeds. hope it helps

    Best 360 cameras!

    Physically, it looks like previous versions (x4 and x3), besides the power button placement. But this camera packs a punch. Filming has never been so easy. Reframing and editing is actually easier with improved updates on the phone app and desktop studio. If you are willing to learn simple editing, you can be creative and create great videos for personal or even social media. Improved 8k 30 fps, buttery smooth slow motion, InstaFrame mode, and etc, I recommend this camera over the competition. This competes with other types of action cameras on the market; mainly DJI Osmo 360 and DJI Osmo Pocket 3. In conclusion, if you are an enthusiast traveler and don't want to always frame your shots, and spend time learning and editing after, this is the camera for you.

    I saw the reviews and was skeptical at first of the quality of the nighttime shots. I was pleasantly surprised Unlike the gopro Max 360º camera that became useless after sunset, the Insta360 X5 performs incredibly well in low light.

    Somebody finally figured out 360 cameras

    A bought GoPro’s fusion 360 many years ago. I give GoPro credit for trying but it was a bit of a flop. I took a break from 360 cameras for a number of years then finally decided to give the Insta 360x5 a try. Needless to say, I’m impressed. Very simple to use. the app is about as good as it gets. video quality is outstanding even though it’s a bit over saturated in its normal color profile. Editing is a breeze on the app and there are gobs of YouTube help videos online. It’s not quite perfect, but pretty darn close.

    Insta360 - X5 is a huge upgrade from a vuzeXR

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been using the vuzeXR, which under ideal lighting makes barely acceptable 360° photos and videos. This new to me Insta360 - X5, is a huge upgrade in usability, and a noticeable upgrade in visual quality. When taking 360° photos the Insta360 is shockingly good in good light. If you want to capture an outdoor scene, or well lit indoor scene, you’ll feel like you’re there when viewed with a VR headset. I know the Insta360 is known for being able to reframe in high-quality; there’s a lot of post processing capability that is way beyond what the XR could ever offer. I’ve used this feature and it works very well, but that’s not what I bought the 360 for. I still use my XR for 3D video and photos, but the Insta360 is so good, that I’ll probably use it more often.

    I bought this Insta360 X5 camera because I needed something to record my motorcycle rides and keep a clip in case anything was to happen on my ride. I walked in, asked for assistance, I was attended immediately and very professionally. I was in and out, with my purchase, happy as can be. The camera set-up was brief, and the quality of video is amazing. This camera takes next level footage, keeping all my recordings on record. Will definitely recommend this product.

    I've been using this since July. It's been on several trips, including motorcycling, bicycling, air and car travel. Ive used it in extremely hot weather with little to no wind as well as with road noise and motorcycle wind. The sound quality is very good without needing to use the wind guard, even better with it. The video quality is great as well. I find myself using the X5 in preference to my non-360 cameras. Insta360 cameras, in general have a learning curve, but once you get used to the quirks, they really are a great option and very versatile.

    This camera is freakin’ amazing! From the quick start and ease of use, the picture quality, and the way it magically creates a 360° video is hard to comprehend and hard to beat. I got this to use on motorcycle rides and was able to take video, clip and edit the video and export it to share without every reading an instruction.
