Last year, the Insta360 unveiled its first 8k 360 ° camera, X4. Its successor, Insta360 x5, large image sensors, an AI-powered low-light mode, brings better water resistance and a large battery. A significant change of this generation makes the lens replace, so a scratch lens is now $ 30 fix that you can do at home.
The X5 has 1/1.28 ”sensors, which are 144% larger than the 1/2” sensor of X3 and X4. This allows them to capture more light.
Purevideo is AI-based noise reduction and dynamic range adaptation for low-light shooting. In addition, the active HDR now works up to 5.7k 60fps. The new camera uses a triple AI chip system consisting of a 5Nm AI chip and two pro imaging chips. Overall, it has 140% more computing power than the previous model.
Video recording mode is mostly similar to X4. The top mode is 8K at 30fps with 60fps available at 5.7K resolution. An improvement is that you can get 120fps on 4K resolution (above 100fps on X4). Purevideo also works on 30fps up to 8K and up to 5.7k 30fps (not 60fps).
For those who just want a quick clip to post on social media, the new Instapram records two videos. The first is the one you can post immediately – this is a flat video that is facing a certain direction or with automatic tracking that puts you in the center of the frame. The second is a full 360 ° video (up to 5.7k 30fps) which you can later frame again when you have more time.
You can take Insta360 X5 on more adventures. It is now rated with water resistance up to 15 m/49 feet without ip68 without diving houses (it is above 10 m/33 feet on X4). In addition, a new steel Aries wind guard and better algorithm reduces air noise.
Insta360 also sells a small wireless mic that you can clip with your clothes. This mike doubles as a simple remote control so that you can start recording, even if the camera is attached to reach a difficult place – such as the new 3M invisible selfie stick.
The new lenses are made from high strength, scratch resistant glass. And if you manage scratching a lens, you can buy a replacement for $ 30 and swap it at home. Lens guards are also available, which is easy to convert into the area.

The new model also improves battery life with a 2,400mAh battery that lasts up to 187 minutes (37% longer than X4). It is in 5.7k 24fps mode, however, the recording time in the top 8K 30fps mode is 88 minutes. The X4 (2,290mAh battery) will run for 75 minutes in 8k 30fps mode. The battery has fast charge support, which is going up to 80% in 20 minutes (100% in 35 minutes) using 30 W USB-C charger.
Insta360 X5 is available today at the company’s online store. The standard bundle costs $ 550/€ 590 and how you plan to use the camera (eg to record your motorcycle, snowboard, or dive adventures), depending on this, there are many other bundles to select several other bundles. You can also find X5 on Amazon and other retailers.
