Insta360 X5 Review | The Next Generation of 360° Cameras
The Insta360 X5 has officially arrived, marking a major leap forward in 360-degree camera technology. Building on the success of the X4, the X5 introduces powerful upgrades designed for both professional creators and hobbyists alike. With new sensor tech, better low-light performance, a swappable lens system, and longer battery life—this camera is made for creators who want more from their gear.
🔥 What’s New in the Insta360 X5?
8K Ultra HD Video
Capture incredibly detailed 360° footage in 8K at 30fps, or shoot smooth slow-motion with 5.7K at 60fps and 4K at 120fps. Ideal for immersive video content, virtual tours, or action-packed adventure videos.
Improved Low-Light Performance
The X5 features new 1/1.28-inch image sensors that significantly boost performance in low-light environments. With Insta360’s new PureVideo Mode, you get better clarity and reduced noise at night or indoors.
Swappable Lens System
A first for Insta360—the X5 features user-replaceable lenses. This makes it easier to maintain and upgrade your gear without buying a whole new camera.
Extended Battery Life
With a new 2400mAh battery, the X5 can record for up to 185 minutes, giving you more time to capture the perfect shot without needing to swap batteries constantly.
Better Audio with Built-In Wind Guard
The X5 comes with an updated audio system that includes a wind guard—great for recording clearer audio outdoors, even on breezy days.
Waterproof up to 49ft (15m)
Thanks to its IP68 rating, the X5 can go deeper underwater than its predecessor, making it more versatile for water sports, diving, and rainy-day adventures.
