Why the Insta360 X5 is a revolution in 360° video
The Insta360 X5 marks a major leap forward in 360° cameras. Designed for demanding content creators, it redefines the standards with 8K image quality, unparalleled battery life, improved audio performance, and rugged durability. Whether you're a vlogger, adventurer, travel professional, or simply passionate about immersive videos, the X5 is the ultimate creative tool.

360° video in 8K: an image quality never seen before
Featuring new 1/1.28" sensors, the Insta360 X5 captures 8K 360° video with stunning clarity and detail. Ideal for post-production cropping, it captures every scene with unparalleled depth.
Active HDR in 5.7K at 60 fps enhances high-contrast scenes with vibrant colors and smooth stabilization. PureVideo technology leverages the triple AI chip to dramatically improve low-light shooting.
360° Me Mode: An invisible camera that follows you everywhere
The famous invisible boom effect is of course back, along with the 360° Me mode. This allows you to film in first-person view while keeping the subject (you!) always in the center of the frame. It's the perfect tool for solo creators who want to capture third-person shots without a camera crew.
Additionally, the X5 can simultaneously record 360° video and a flat version (MP4), ready to instantly share on social media.
Audio, battery life, robustness: a real action camera
The Insta360 X5 is up to the most extreme adventures:
Enhanced Audio : A built-in wind shield with a multi-layer mesh structure reduces wind noise while improving sound clarity.
Exceptional battery life : up to 180 minutes of continuous recording.
Replaceable lenses : shock-resistant and easy to change, they increase the camera's lifespan.
IP68 waterproof : up to 15 meters without a housing, a real plus for divers and water sports enthusiasts.

Create & share faster with smart editing
The Insta360 app and Insta360 Studio software make editing your content easy. AI takes care of cropping, stabilizing, and even choosing the most relevant angles. Flat videos can be exported quickly and shared effortlessly.
Shot Lab includes over 30 special effects, while cloud syncing with Insta360+ keeps your files safe and secure.
