Insta360 has once again raised the bar in immersive videography with the launch of its Insta360 X5, the latest in its flagship 360° action camera series. Packed with groundbreaking features, the X5 is designed for content creators, adventurers, and professionals who demand superior video quality, flexibility, and performance in all environments.
What's New in the Insta360 X5?
From the outside, the X5 keeps the iconic candy-bar shape of its predecessor, but inside, it's a whole new beast. Here’s what makes the X5 stand out:
8K 360° Video Like Never Before
The X5 records 8K 30fps 360-degree videos with stunning detail. Whether you're capturing a mountain trail, a concert, or a VR experience, the footage is ultra-crisp and future-ready. It also supports 5.7K at 60fps and 4K at 120fps for ultra-smooth slow-motion effects.
Low-Light King with PureVideo Mode
Low-light performance has often been a challenge for action cams. Insta360 addresses this with PureVideo Mode, powered by AI algorithms that reduce noise and enhance clarity in dimly lit settings—perfect for evening shoots, night rides, or indoor adventures.
Dual 1/1.28" Sensors – Big Sensors, Big Impact
The larger dual sensors offer more dynamic range and better low-light capture than previous models. Expect richer colors, more accurate shadows, and details that pop.
Replaceable Lenses – First of Its Kind
For the first time, Insta360 introduces user-replaceable lenses in a consumer-grade 360° camera. That means fewer worries about lens scratches, and the potential for future upgrades without replacing the entire camera.
Superior Audio Quality
Improved built-in microphones with wind reduction technology ensure that your voice and environmental audio are captured clearly—even while riding a bike or filming in windy conditions.
Long-Lasting Battery & Quick Charge
The X5 runs up to 185 minutes in Endurance Mode and can fast charge to 80% in just 20 minutes. This makes it a reliable companion for long shoots and on-the-go adventures.
