X5 is the new flagship 360° camera from Insta360, with 8K 360° video and enhanced low-light performance for all-day, all-angle shooting. Improved audio, 180-minute battery life, and user-replaceable lenses make it the most durable 360° camera yet. A new mode captures flat and 360° video simultaneously - instant .mp4 for sharing, plus 360° footage to reframe later. X5 is an instant classic, perfect for action, content creation, and everyday life.
Unmatched Image Quality, Day and Night
X5's 8K30fps 360° video looks better than ever, with supersampling from 11K to 8K resulting in minimal loss to image quality for true-to-life shots. But resolution is just part of what determines image quality.
X5's 1/1.28" sensors are 144% larger compared to X4's, meaning they capture far more light. The Triple AI Chip system, made up of one 5nm AI Chip and two Pro Imaging Chips, works wonders to reduce noise for clean, uncompressed images in any conditions. With 140% more computing power, every moment - whether on thrilling rides, underwater adventures, or the trip of a lifetime - becomes clearer, brighter, and more vivid.
Low-light capture gets an additional boost with a dedicated mode: PureVideo. Advanced AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimisation deliver clear, vibrant footage in low light, perfect for capturing your late-night city explorations, motorcycle rides, and more. Meanwhile, Active HDR has been upgraded to 5.7K60fps for smooth, sharper shots, especially in high-contrast scenes
360° Capture - Souped Up & Simplified
As the fifth generation, X5 has refined every aspect of 360° capture with incredible results. The beauty of shooting with X5 is that you record everything, everywhere, always. No wondering "Did I frame that right?" or fears of missing an epic moment, just shoot first and choose your angles later, with the invisible selfie stick effect enabling otherwise impossible third-person shots. Ideal for solo creators, travellers, and well... everyone.
But now, there's a new mode that makes all that 360° goodness simpler to achieve than ever before. Meet InstaFrame. Hit record and X5 produces two files. The first is an instantly shareable flat video, no editing or reframing needed. Here you have the choice of a fixed view that follows a constant direction or a selfie view that keeps you in frame throughout. And the best part? At the same time, you'll also record a second clip in full 360° so you’ll never miss life's unexpected moments, from your toddler’s surprise first steps to a dolphin's sudden appearance beside your kayak.
The Toughest 360° Camera Ever
When a lens cracks mid-adventure, most 360° cameras become paperweights - but with X5 you can swap lenses before the ski lift reaches the top of the next run. No worrying about scratches or paying out of pocket for repairs, easily replace damaged lenses on the go with the handy Replacement Lens Kit.
Designed for the klutzes, the cliff-divers, and the 'I-just-dropped-it-again' creators among us, the lenses are also made from a new, high-strength, scratch-resistant glass that makes them far less likely to be damaged in the first place, making X5 a camera you can truly push to the limits.
Elsewhere, X5 has improved in almost every way that an action camera enthusiast could wish for:
- Built-in wind guard and improved audio algorithm - a multi-layer steel mesh Wind Guard silences wind noise, while the boosted algorithm offers sharp, immersive sound.
- Longer lasting, faster-charging battery - A 2400mAh battery supports up to 185 minutes of recording in 5.7K, using the power-saving Endurance Mode. It can also fast charge from 0 to 80% in just 20 minutes, or the time it takes to finish a cup of coffee.
- IP68 waterproofing to 15m - go even deeper without a dive housing.
- Magnetic mounting system - allows for quick accessory swaps so you’re always prepared for the next shot.
- FlowState Stabilisation + 360° Horizon Lock - still industry-leading for the smoothest shots possible.
- Convenient ways to "hit record" - the new Twist to Shoot feature enables shooting just by twisting a selfie stick back and forth. Other options include Voice Control 2.0, Gesture Control, or pairing with a wireless remote.
