Insta360 Presents X5: The Most Intelligent and Robust 360° Camera Developed to Date
With great pleasure, Insta360, the top-selling 360° camera company in the world, presents its newest flagship camera, the Insta360 X5. With its innovative image quality, tough durability, and AI-powered user-friendliness, the X5 raises the bar for what 360° cameras are capable of.
The X5 offers a remarkable improvement in image quality at all resolutions, including breathtaking 8K30fps 360° video, with its bigger 1/1.28″ sensors and lightning-fast Triple AI Chip technology. The X5 produces sharp, cinematic video in difficult lighting conditions with PureVideo, a new AI-powered low-light mode.
This is the most durable 360° camera ever made, and it was designed for adventure. Its lenses are made from a brand-new, incredibly durable glass, and its industry-first replaceable lens mechanism lets you quickly replace any damaged lenses. The X5 is the ideal partner for active artists with additional hardware enhancements like a built-in wind guard, a longer 3-hour battery life, and 49-foot waterproofing.
The X5 makes creating 360° content simple, from shooting to sharing. The brand-new InstaFrame Mode simultaneously records a full 360° video for editing later and an auto-framed, shareable flat movie. More user-friendly editing features have been added to the Insta360 app, and X5 is compatible with the Insta360+ cloud service, which allows you to share 360º videos quickly, edit on the cloud, and more.
“X5 redefines 360° cameras by solving creators’ real challenges,” stated JK Liu, the founder of Insta360. “From replaceable lenses to AI-powered low-light shooting, we’ve built our dream camera—rugged enough for adventure, capable enough to produce high-quality footage, and intelligent enough to capture epic moments effortlessly.”
Insta360 X5 launch Date
The Insta360 X5 costs US$549.99 and can be ordered starting April 22, 2025, from the Insta360 Official Store, Amazon, and a few more stores.
On April 22 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Insta360 is also holding a pop-up event in New York City, where participants may engage with X5 demos, meet special guests, and get exclusive merchandise.
Unmatched Day and Nighttime Image Quality
The 8K30fps 360° video from the X5 appears better than ever with supersampling from 11K to 8K, which reduces image quality significantly for realistic images. However, image quality is not solely determined by resolution.
The 1/1.28″ sensors in the X5 are 144% bigger than those on the X4, which means they can capture a lot more light. One 5nm AI Chip and two Pro Imaging Chips make up the Triple AI Chip system, which effectively reduces noise for clear, uncompressed images under any circumstance. Every moment whether on exhilarating rides, underwater explorations, or the trip of a lifetime becomes crisper, brighter, and more vivid with 140% more processing capacity.
PureVideo is a specific mode that enhances low light capture. For late-night city tours, motorbike trips, and other activities, advanced AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimisation provide bright, clear video in low light. For crisper, more fluid images, particularly in high contrast situations, Active HDR has been enhanced to 5.7K60 frames per second.
Soupped Up & Simplified 360° Capture
The X5, the fifth generation, has achieved amazing results by perfecting every facet of 360° capture. Shooting with the X5 has the advantage of allowing you to capture everything, anywhere, at all times. The invisible selfie stick effect makes it possible to take third-person images that would otherwise be impossible. This eliminates the need to ponder, “Did I frame that right?” or worry about missing an incredible moment. Perfect for travellers, independent artists, and well, just about everyone.
However, a new mode has emerged that allows achieving all that 360° goodness easier than ever. Introducing InstaFrame. When you hit record, X5 creates two files. The first is a flat video that can be shared right away without any editing or re-framing. Here, you can choose between a selfie view that keeps you in the frame the entire time or a fixed perspective that moves in a fixed direction. What’s the best part? In order to capture life’s unforeseen moments—from your toddler’s startled first steps to a dolphin’s surprising arrival next to your kayak—you will simultaneously record a second film in full 360°.
The Hardest 360-Degree Camera Ever
Most 360° cameras turn into paperweights when a lens breaks in the middle of an adventure, but the X5 allows you to change lenses before the ski lift reaches the top of the subsequent run. With the convenient Replacement Lens Kit, you can quickly change broken lenses while on the go without having to worry about scratches or paying for repairs out of pocket.
The lenses are made of a new, high-strength, scratch-resistant glass that makes them much less likely to be damaged in the first place, making the X5 a camera you can really push to the limit. It is designed for the clumsy people, the cliff-divers, and the “I-just-dropped-it-again” makers among us.
In other areas, the X5 has been enhanced in about every manner an action camera fan could want:
- Enhanced audio algorithm, a multi-layer steel mesh, and an integrated wind guard While the improved algorithm provides crisp, engrossing sound, Wind Guard mutes wind noise.
- Longer-lasting, quicker-charging battery: With the power-saving Endurance Mode, a 2400mAh battery may record for up to 185 minutes in 5.7K. In just 20 minutes, which is the same amount of time it takes to finish a cup of coffee, it can also fast charge from 0% to 80%.
- Go even deeper without a dive housing with IP68 waterproofing up to 49 feet (15 meters).
- Quick accessory changes are made possible by the magnetic attachment system, which keeps you ready for the next shot.
- For the smoothest pictures imaginable, FlowState Stabilisation + 360° Horizon Lock continues to lead the market.
- Easy methods to “hit record”: the recently added Twist to Shoot function allows you to take pictures by just moving a selfie stick back and forth. Gesture Control, Voice Control 2.0, and wireless remote control coupling are additional choices.
The Full Post-Production Bundle
The most advanced and intuitive program for editing 360° video has long been Insta360. It has been updated to match the release of X5, with a more streamlined user interface and additional tools that make editing simpler than before.
A new option to one-tap export with no editing or reframing, a one-tap Dewarp button that eliminates fisheye distortion for footage that looks natural, and more. This is on top of already-available tools like Shot Lab, which offers over 40 AI templates, Quick Edit and AI Edit for semi-automated and automatic editing, and a complete manual editing suite.
Along with the smartphone app, Insta360 Studio, the desktop editing program for the best export quality, is also totally free.
Sharing your travels with the world is now easier than ever with X5’s compatibility with Insta360+, a cloud service that offers auto file backup, rapid sharing of 360° film, cloud editing and export, and more. This makes for the greatest possible Insta360 experience and a more seamless workflow.
