Key Features

Insta360 X5 Overview

Upgrade your production to cinematic 360° video with the powerful Insta360 X5 360° 8K Camera, capable of capturing HDR 8K30 360° PureVideo in dual or single-lens modes, all in one portable action camera. The X5 offers an action-ready design with AI-powered software for an intuitive approach to creating dynamic content in any environment, as well as "Bullet Time" capture, 180 Mb/s bitrates, time shift, loop recording, and time-lapse. The X5 also has an updated rugged design, is natively waterproof up to 49', and has an upgraded rechargeable 2400mAh battery for an increased runtime of up to 88 minutes.

8K30 360° PureVideo

The X5 features ultrasharp 8K resolution, which is 78% more pixels than 5.7K for greater detail and clarity, making reframed video on par with standard camera footage for easier matching edits. Since the footage is captured with high-quality H.265/H.264 compression, the 8K files are small enough to edit using the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio.

NOTE: Shooting in 8K consumes more power than lower resolutions. Shoot 8K only in bright daylight conditions; it is recommended to lower the capture resolution when shooting in low light.

Up to 120 fps Capture

The X5 supports up to 8K30 and 5.7K60 360° video for smooth shots at ultrahigh resolution in PureVideo mode. The camera also supports up to 4K120 capture for super slow-motion 360° footage. It also features Me mode, which records 170° field-of-view flat video, perfect for POV video with an invisible selfie stick. Me mode supports up to 4K30 and 2.7K120 slow-motion modes with external stitching. When in 2.7K30 mode, the X5 supports in-camera stitching with ready-to-share MP4 files.

72MP PureShot Photos

The X5 uses AI PureShot to process 72MP photos in-camera, delivering high-quality, ready-to-share images with low noise and high-quality color.

MegaView FOV

MegaView is a new field of view (FOV) option in the app/Studio software that processes 360° video with less distortion at the edges for overall higher image quality. MegaView supports multiple aspect ratios, including 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, 3:4, and 2:35:1.

2 Cameras in 1 with 4K60 Single-Lens Mode

The X5 camera doubles as a wide-angle action camera by filming with only one lens. This feature supports a field of view up to 170°.

NOTE: 4K60 is not suitable for low-light conditions.

Invisible Selfie Stick for Third-Person Views

When the X5 is attached to a selfie stick, the stick disappears in your edit, enabling you to capture aerial angles and third-person perspectives that can be achieved without a second operator.

Mobile Insta360 App

AI Gesture Control

You can now use hand gestures to start/stop recording or take a photo, which is perfect for group shots, noisy locations, mounting on a selfie stick, when wearing thick gloves, or simply not disturbing others in the area with sound such as voice control.

5.7K120 Bullet Time

Get "Bullet Time" (reference from The Matrix) slow-motion video using the 5.7K120 Bullet Time mode on the X5. This mode allows you to achieve cinematic slow-motion looks using higher frame rates and resolutions.

11K Time-Lapse and 8K Time Shift

New Removable Lens Guards

2.5" Touchscreen

The bright touchscreen is made from durable Gorilla Glass and features a large 2.5" size, and it allows you to control the camera, select shooting modes, change settings, preview your images and footage, and more.

2400mAh Battery

The X5 features a higher battery capacity than its predecessor with its removable 2400mAh battery. It has been tested to run at 5.7K30 360° video mode for up to 135 minutes of recording time. In Endurance mode, it can record 5.7K30 for up to 185 minutes, and in 8K30 mode, it can run for up to 88 minutes.

FlowState Stabilization
