Insta360 X5 - Waterproof 8K 360° Action Camera, Leading Low Light, Invisible Selfie Stick Effect, Rugged and Replaceable Lens, 3-Hour Battery, Built-in Wind Guard, Stabilization, Triple AI Chip Design

We used the Insta360 X5 on our recent holiday trip from the UK to Austria on a BMW GSA R1200, and it absolutely blew us away. The footage is stunning—super smooth, ultra-clear, and immersive. It captured every twist of the alpine roads and every scenic overlook with jaw-dropping clarity.The tech behind this camera is seriously impressive. It handled different lighting conditions like a pro and made editing a breeze with the app. Best of all, it's incredibly easy to use—even while out on the road. Battery life held up well, and the compact design made mounting and carrying hassle-free.If you're into motorbike travel and want to relive your adventures in epic detail, this camera is worth every penny.

Ordered dat one. Had to do a firmware update and the app was also updated but worked almost straight out of the box. I can see there were a number of people that couldn’t get it to work but my one worked like a treat. Already took it out on a spin and quite pleased with the double twist to start/stop, saves me shouting (Voice Control) at my camera 🤣. I also can see the image quality difference is definitely better than X4, and HDR is better but very digital quality (which you’d expect with a good HDR camera, although looks unrealistic). Is it worth upgrading from X4? Not in my honest opinion but if you haven’t got a 360 camera yet, this is a tonne better than my older GoPro Max, and has better features than its predecessor for a small additional price tag.I should really only give it 4 stars as it’s not a tremendous upgrade from the X4 but I gave it 5 stars because I am reviewing the camera, not how it compares to the previous model.

Amazing 360 camera!, I mainly bought it for its enhanced audio and low light features because I plan to use it on my Ghost Hunts, so far in testing it performs really well! Great video clarity even in low light. I had no trouble at all activating this camera so I don't know why some others are having difficulty?!, the set up was very easy and straight forward.

I bought this as an upgrade to the X3 and wow... what a difference! the quality is massively better. I was always a bit disappointed with the X3 images and video, they very soft and fuzzy. However, the X5 looks crisp and sharp by comparison and colours really pop.Before buying this camera, I watched loads of YouTube video and they all raved about this camera - in my opinion, its worth the hype!

Yes, the Insta360 X5 is a fantastic camera—a huge upgrade from my previous X3. Yet despite all the amazing capabilities you’ve probably seen in YouTube reviews, for the hefty £519 price tag, it might loose half a star. Read below.I previously had an issue with frame rates but Insta customer service got in touch and fixed it. Credit to a company that cares for its customers - not all companies are like that.Maybe loses half a star?For that price, I expect lens guards to be included. I mean, we’re talking about a 360 camera where both lenses are constantly exposed. Selling it without protection feels a bit cheeky. And cheap. Yes, you can replace the lenses now, but I still feel like those big, bulging, protruding, precious lenses need to be protected, and included in the £519 price. (I just forked out another £35 for a set of premium lens protectors.)But this is really is a great camera.FYI - DJI is about to release their own 360 camera (at time of writing in May 2025) so might be worth waiting to see what they come out with.

Great update to the previous model, i plan to do a video soon. There is a issue that a number of other early reviewers have pointed out that can be easily worked around by downloading the updated app directly from insta 360s official site rather than Google playstore. That hasn't been updated yet. The feature i most was looking for improvement in was the handling of lowlight recording and was really surprised how well it worked. Is it the perfect camera for video? No but for 360 footage and getting insane angles with a next level of creative options. It has to be one of the best out there.

I just returned from a one-day bicycle trip in Epping Forest with this camera, and it was truly amazing. I had no problems at all — everything worked perfectly. I charged it yesterday, and the battery life was quite good. I took an extra battery with me just in case, but I didn’t need to use it.The colors look very natural — just like you see with your own eyes! Really impressive. I’m completely happy with this camera and will definitely use it again on my next trip. Super product!

The media could not be loaded. Update: After contacting Insta360, they said there was nothing they can do and to return it to Amazon for a refund.Just waiting for insta360 to get back to me. The camera keeps recording in weird colours. The app keeps crashing when trying to export videos.The charger doesn't always sit good in the charging port and falls out. When putting the charger in it feels like something is off centre so takes 2 or 3 attempts to get it plugged in.
