Insta360 X5: Meet The Smartest, Toughest 8K 360° Action Camera Of 2025

If you’ve been hunting for the ultimate adventure camera, look no further — the new Insta360 X5 is here to blow your mind. The new X5 raises the bar for 8K 360° action cameras, combining rugged durability, next-level image quality, and AI-powered shooting magic. With massive 1/1.28″ sensors, a game-changing Triple AI Chip, a new PureVideo low-light mode, and an innovative replaceable lens system, this beast is built for serious creators who want to capture everything, everywhere, all at once.

Starting at just $549.99, the Insta360 X5 is setting a new standard for 360° cameras, with its rugged durability, next-level image quality, and AI-driven tech designed to make your content look insane. The X5 is ready to go wherever your next adventure takes you.

Insane 8K 360° Video With AI-Powered Clarity

If you thought 360° video couldn’t get any sharper, well think again. The Insta360 X5 shoots stunning 8K30fps 360° video, with supersampling from 11K to ensure crystal-clear footage. Thanks to larger 1/1.28″ sensors—which capture 144% more light than the previous X4 model—and a Triple AI Chip system that boosts computing power by 140%, the X5 delivers footage that’s brighter, sharper, and more real than ever before.

Low-light adventures? No problem. The Insta360 X5’s new PureVideo mode leverages AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimization, so your late-night city rides, motorcycle runs, and urban explorations look crisp and cinematic.

“X5 redefines 360° cameras by solving creators’ real challenges. From replaceable lenses to AI-powered low-light shooting, we’ve built our dream camera—rugged enough for adventure, capable enough to produce high quality footage, and intelligent enough to capture epic moments effortlessly,” said JK Liu, Insta360’s Founder.

Plus, Active HDR has been upgraded to 5.7K60fps, giving you smoother, sharper footage even when the light conditions are challenging.

360° Capture Made Effortless with InstaFrame

Sick of spending hours editing? The X5 makes it easy with InstaFrame Mode. Every time you hit record, you get two videos at once: a ready-to-share flat video and a full 360° video you can reframe later if you want.

You can choose a locked-in forward view or a selfie mode that keeps you automatically in frame. It’s perfect for guys who don’t want to miss a second of the action—from your buddy’s dirtbike crash to an unexpected dolphin leap during a fishing trip.

And yes, the invisible selfie stick effect is still here, letting you pull off insane third-person shots with no visible gear.

Built Tougher Than You

X5 isn’t just smart—it’s built for abuse. With ultra-durable, scratch-resistant lenses and a first-of-its-kind replaceable lens system, Insta360 makes sure your camera doesn’t become useless if you wipe out. If you crack a lens mid-session, just swap it out with a replacement kit and keep going.

Other rugged upgrades include:

• Wind Guard: A multi-layer steel mesh design and improved audio algorithm destroy wind noise for sharp sound.
• Longer Battery Life: Up to 185 minutes of recording in 5.7K using Endurance Mode, plus fast charging to 80% in 20 minutes.
• IP68 Waterproofing: Dive down to 49ft (15m) without a housing.
• Magnetic Mounting System: Quick accessory swaps on the fly.
• FlowState Stabilization + 360° Horizon Lock: Industry-best stabilization for buttery smooth footage.
• Twist to Shoot: Start recording by simply twisting your selfie stick. Other options include Voice Control 2.0, Gesture Control, and pairing with a wireless remote.

Next-Level Editing Made Simple

Insta360 also revamped their mobile app to keep up with the X5’s firepower. The updated Insta360 app features a sleeker interface, easier editing tools, and killer new features like:

• One-Tap Dewarp: Instantly removes fisheye distortion.
• Zero-Edit Export: Share footage instantly with no extra work.
• Quick Edit and AI Edit: Automated tools that help you churn out polished clips in minutes.

For those looking to go even bigger, X5 connects with Insta360+, a cloud service that lets you auto-backup footage, edit on the cloud, and share your wildest moments faster than ever.
