Description
Insta360 X5
8K 360 Action Cam
All day. All night.
All angles.
EXCELLENT IMAGE QUALITY, DAY AND NIGHT
Larger 1/1.28″ sensors also capture more light, resulting in better image quality, less noise and improved dynamic range. In addition, a Triple AI Chip further helps reduce noise for clear, uncompressed images regardless of lighting. With a powerful processing system, every moment – whether on thrilling rides, underwater adventures or your life journey – will be clearer, brighter and more vivid. All day, all night, from all angles.
SEE IT AS YOU SAW IT
Capture your world with stunningly realistic image quality. The best resolution we’ve ever had, X5’s 8K video delivers incredible detail and color for fully immersive edits.
SAME QUALITY, SMALLER FILE SIZE
Maintain the same outstanding image quality and save storage space with an improved encoding algorithm. A lower bitrate and improved encoding means 20% smaller file sizes, so you can create more without worrying about filling up your card.
For example, a 1-minute 8K30fps video on the X4 is about 1.5 GB, while on the X5 it’s about 1.2 GB, which is about 20% smaller.
MAGIC AT ALL HOURS
Record what you never could before. PureVideo’s advanced AI noise reduction and optimized dynamic range mode deliver clear, vivid footage, regardless of lighting. Whether it’s an evening stroll or exploring the city after dark, expect jaw-dropping quality in every frame.
SMOOTHER ACTION
Now upgraded to 60fps, this innovative HDR mode guarantees stunning detail and colour in highlights and shadows, and delivers exceptional stabilisation in action-packed moments. Even when shooting in brightly lit or backlit environments, see more natural transitions between light and dark for a more realistic visual experience.
INCREDIBLE THIRD-PERSON SHOTS
For those “how did you do that” third-person angles, drone-like shots and iconic 360º views, it has to be the Invisible Selfie Stick. The stick disappears from 360º shots like magic.
ONE CAMERA, INVISIBLE PERSPECTIVES
Set up multiple cameras, one device. Unlike ordinary cameras that require multiple shots, positions or devices to film different perspectives, X5 concentrates every possible angle into a single shot – no extra equipment, no retakes, no wasted moments.
AIM AFTER FILMING
With 360º video that captures everything around you, simply tap record, find your focus and choose the best angles later with the AI-powered reframing tools in the Insta360 app.
INSTANT VIDEO
Get a perfectly framed, instantly shareable video layer, with no editing or reframing required. Choose a fixed view that follows a fixed direction or a selfie view that keeps you in the frame throughout the video.
NEVER MISS A MOMENT
The best part? You’ll simultaneously capture a full 360° video, ready for you to create additional edits or capture unexpected moments.
ULTRA-WIDE POVS
Use the X5 as a traditional action camera with Single-Lens Mode and shoot immersive 4K60fps first-person videos. Go even further with MaxView in FreeFrame Video, with a 170° FOV at 4K30fps.
IMAGES
Enjoy unforgettable moments with stunning 360º 72 megapixel photos or use the HDR option for richer details.
THE MOST DURABLE LENSES EVER
An ultra-hard coating makes the X5 lenses extremely durable, even more scratch-resistant and 100% more resistant to drops than the X4. From bumps and scratches to sand and dust, there’s no need to hold back in fear of damage.
NEW REPLACEABLE LENS DESIGN
The X5’s new replaceable lens design allows you to remove damaged lenses and install new ones with the lens replacement kit. No stress, no waiting for repairs.
AUTOMATIC LENS GUARD DETECTION
The X5 is equipped with a Hall Effect sensor that automatically detects and adjusts the stitching algorithm depending on which lens guards are installed.
ALL-WEATHER WIND GUARD
A first for 360º cameras. Come loud and clear with a multi-layer steel mesh wind guard that silences wind noise.
UPGRADED AUDIO ALGORITHM
An enhanced audio algorithm provides crystal clear sound in four versatile modes. Now, sound hits you from every angle – crisp, immersive and as epic as your shots.
NON-STOP ACTION
Shoot more and leave battery stress behind. The massive 2400mAh battery delivers up to 185* minutes in Endurance Mode, 37% longer than before.
ALWAYS FAST CHARGING
Life doesn’t wait, and neither should you. X5’s fast charging gets you back in the game with 80% battery in just 20** minutes. Less waiting, more creating.
FLOW STATE STABILIZATION
From the track to off-road, our industry-leading FlowState Stabilization technology eliminates any wobbles and bumps to keep your shots silky smooth.
360° HORIZONTAL LOCK
No need to aim for the horizon – the X5 keeps every frame anchored to the horizon. From tight turns to aerial tumbles, 360° Horizon Lock means perfectly horizontal footage, every time.
WATERPROOF UP TO 15 METERS
Go deeper than any other Insta360 camera before with IP68 waterproofing up to 15 meters (49 feet) without requiring a dive case – a 50% improvement over the X4.
Exploring further? Add the invisible dive case for seamless 360º stitching up to 50m (164ft)*.
*To shoot 360º video underwater, we recommend using the Invisible Dive Case. Its unique dome design takes into account the refraction of light and prevents distortion and stitching problems underwater. If using Single-Lens Mode, the X5 can be used without the dive case because no stapling is required.
EXPORT WITHOUT PROCESSING
Bypass reframing and export your footage instantly. Choose your view (front or selfie) and you’re ready! Quick, simple and straight to the point. Perfect for motorcycles, skiing and selfie videos.
AI EDIT
Say goodbye to manual reframing. AI automatically finds your highlights thanks to state-of-the-art script detection and edits them into a ready-to-share video.
FAST PROCESSING
Edit your shot effortlessly by moving your phone or swiping the screen. Save and share your edit instantly – easy, fast and really simple!
LET US SEPARATE AND SEARCH FOR VIDEO

AUTOMATIC BACKUP FUNCTION
The camera automatically backs up files to the cloud – accessible from any device – and can even automatically delete them afterwards, keeping your SD card ready for more.
EDIT AND EXPORT TO THE CLOUD
Edit and export to the cloud, anytime, anywhere. Let the app run in the background and use your device seamlessly.
360° SEAMLESS SHARING
Instantly share your world with a customizable link. Send single or multiple clips simultaneously to friends, family and followers.

Now you can edit multiple 360º videos in the same timeline and edit and export footage from the cloud.
TWIST TO SHOOT
