Razor-sharp 360 degree and action camera videos

Clear images thanks to large sensor
Long battery life of 3 hours
Versatile with InstaFrame function
No lens guards included with the Standard Bundle

The Insta360 X5 is a true all-in-one camera for the adventurous videographer. I find InstaFrame a useful new feature, where I record 360-degree and flat video images at the same time. I only miss the lens guards that protect the lenses from scratches.

High image quality The X5 has a larger image sensor than its predecessor, the X4. I take the camera with me during an indoor snowboarding lesson. There is little daylight here, but I notice while filming that the images still look clear and that they have little noise. I make 360-degree images in 8K resolution. The camera films everything around me, so I don't have to pay attention to my composition while snowboarding. For TikTok, I cut a 9:16 angle of view from the 360-degree images. After I crop the images, 2.7K videos remain for social media. These images are less sharp than 8K or 4K images, but it is fine for social media.

Design and battery life I think the longer battery life is an improvement compared to the X4. I film with this camera for about 3 hours in 5.7K resolution. When I record 8K 360-degree images, the battery only lasts 1.5 hours. The design of the camera is similar to its predecessors. While filming in 360 degrees, I swipe across the large screen to adjust the image or quickly change the recording mode. I do think it's a shame that the Standard Bundle doesn't include lens guards. The lenses are round and protrude, which makes me afraid that they will get damaged. The Essentials Bundle does include lens guards. The advantage is that you can replace the lenses of the X5 with a new pair if they get damaged.

Recording modes InstaFrame is a new feature of Insta360. With this, the camera simultaneously films 360-degree and flat action camera images. For example, I make a vlog for both Instagram and YouTube. I share the flat videos on social media immediately after filming, for example in my Instagram stories. The camera simultaneously films 360-degree images that I then carefully edit for an extensive vlog on YouTube. This way, I also show my surroundings in the video and switch between different angles.

Editing videos in the app I easily edit my videos in the Insta360 app. This works very quickly and is user-friendly. On the screen of my smartphone, I rotate the preview until I have found the desired image. If I add a 'key frame', the video continues from this image. This way, I can easily switch between what I see in front of and behind me.

Unique images, mediocre image quality

Little worry about whether you have a good frame
Software on the PC is decent
Camera works well, intuitive and responsive
Only objects within 3 meters are sharp. Software overprocessing creates an oil-paint effect on all images outside this range.

I bought this camera to capture footage from a unique perspective. Unfortunately, the image quality is comparable to the first iPhone and therefore really only usable for close-ups within 1-2 meters. The software processes the footage until it becomes a blur of colors that, from a distance, creates an illusion of what you've captured.

The 8K resolution covers the full 360 video (7680x3840). If you select a frame from this 360, for example, in portrait mode, a fraction of that resolution remains. Combine that with the heavy software processing, and the footage is only usable if you export fisheye footage with the subject close to the camera.

There are still some plus points: the camera is small and therefore easy to carry, the battery lasts a long time, and this kit gives you a second battery with a charging station. You have access to some controls such as shutter speed, ISO, and white balance, which you can use to improve the quality.

The glowing reviews you read everywhere should be taken with a grain of salt. Unfortunately, Coolblue doesn't allow me to add images to the review, so I can't show any examples. When I asked Insta360 about image quality, they said you should only shoot on a very clear day. My shot on a bright summer day under a canopy was supposedly taken in too dark a location. A summer day in the shade is already too dark. This means you can't read the text on a sign from 5 meters away, and you can't even identify objects 50 meters away.

awesome 360 cam

awesome 360 cam. Very snappy, great battery life, insane image quality. You do need some time to explore the many possibilities of this camera. Good free software suite that works intuitive. I am very happy with my x5.
