We use the x4 for work so i bought the x5 for myself. I am very happy with the performance in low light and the quality is top notch.

Best 360 Camera

If you want the best 360 consumer camera on the market, here it is.
It's easy to use, has tons of options, and you don't have to "miss out" on traditional flat video since you can choose either 360 shooting or flat shooting like a normal action camera.
The selfie sticks are auto-removed from the footage so you really only see a shadow depending on sun angle, and you can get some amazing shots that a normal action camera can't give. Lately I've been using mine at car shows to walk around after shooting photography to capture the whole scene and then knowing it records in a full 360 sphere, you're assured you won't miss any of the sweet cars you've walked by. After the fact you use the editing (whether via app or desktop app) and you can choose the perspective view of what you want the final video product to look like. Think you missed that Ferrari revving up behind you, nope! You already captured it, just turn the view to where the action occurred and keynote frame it in! This is my first 360 cam and I'm amazing at the creative ways you can capture content, albeit only using it for this specific application lately.
The default microphone is actually quite impressive and it will fully capture your voice, or all the amazing car sounds happening around you with great "non clipping" quality. Also as far as combining microphone wireless tech, this fully works with DJI Mic 2.
One note, if you connect one of the transmitters via Bluetooth, it WILL BE LOWER QUALITY. To ensure you have better quality, you can actually connect the receiver module (via USB) to the USB-C port on the side, and actually use both wireless mics with full bandwidth recording. it my look goofy and add extra dimension to your kit, but that's the sacrifice to pay for combining extra cool tech to your rig ;-).
You will benefit from using the Insta cloud share which they'll give you a long trial. This allows you to actually share either "flat video" or a 360 URL link to send to friends and family where they can manipulate and twist and turn the 360 Video footage or 360 Photo to their hearts content. It's quite cool. And you can re-snip or capture from that perspective too.
Note that when viewing preview in editing software, it will be lower quality UNTIL you export your final product. You get to choose the bitrate and resolution which is dramatically better quality than in preview/edit mode.
I've yet to test the anthroposophy modes and hyperlapse, but have confidence it will be a great end product from what I’ve already explored w/ the camera. Also btw this does great 360 "image" shots. So if you are into Real Estate, walk into a room, snap, capture a huge 72 megapixel image and create your own mini tour, etc. Or just capture a full rez 360 photo-sphere of any place you travel!
I give this 5 booms. Watch videos, see if it's for you, and if it is, you'll enjoy the creative content you can get from it. PS, the number of accessories Insta360 has is quite amazing for their products so be on the lookout as more come to market.

Great 360 camara, very user friendly, if its your first 360 camara you wont struggle. It overheats easily, you might need to let it cool down between takes.

This camera is very impressive. This is one of those cameras where you say to yourself... Ok, this is the version of the camera I have been waiting for.
The image quality is the best in class, and the low-light capabilities are amazing for what it is. This is the first 360 camera with usable low-light footage.
I use it in my Real Estate photography business and have n regrets buying it.
The real buying decision for me was the replaceable lenses

Awesome camera. When I was riding my motorcycle it captured everything I was doing all around me. The pictures as well it took was crazy. When I would go to football games it would literally capture every detail.

I had the x4, bought the x5 and did a lot of side by side videos... gotta say, x5 is better. Worth it to go from x4 to x5? I would say no unless you really need some x5 features. Biggest upgrade for me is the light capture, x5 is just much better at low light environments. The fast battery charge is nice also, i always carry 2 batteries with me, charging to 80% in about 25 mins is great. The visual layout changes in the app does not bother me like a few people did. I find it to work fine.

Im having trouble with the editing program. Other than that its great. Used for motorcycle riding. Has so many features, the quick key button is customizable. The night feature works great. Lowest recodring is 4k except for certain modes. Battery life seems to be short. Careful some modes will heat up the camera.

I’m impressed with this camera’s low-light performance—it handles dark scenes better than anything else I’ve used outside the pro lineup. It captures every angle I need in a single shot, which saves time and effort. The tiny planet feature adds a fun twist, and the phone app makes everything easier to control. In terms of resolution, this is the best I’ve seen from the brand short of their professional models.

Awesome product, wish I would've bought one years ago. Will definitely require some time to learn how to really use the computer software to edit videos however they have to be the clearest and nicest pictures and videos I've ever seen.
