With the X5, Insta360 presents a new generation of 360° action cameras. What the camera offers - and how the variants differ.
If you're looking for a new action camera, the Insta360 X5 could be just the thing for you. We have two versions in the shop: the standard version and the Essential Bundle. The camera is the same, only the scope of delivery differs.
Technical features of the Insta360 X5
The Insta360 X5 is a 360° camera with two ultra-wide-angle lenses and two 1/1.28" sensors with 2.4 μm equivalent pixel size. These are designed to capture more light than the previous model and enable detailed images with vivid colours and low noise, even in low light conditions. The sensors support a dynamic range of 13.5 f-stops. According to the manufacturer, this allows the camera to capture bright and dark areas better, even in high-contrast scenes.
The camera records 8K video material at up to 30 frames per second in 360° mode. 5.7K is possible at higher frame rates. There is also a «PureVideo mode» with AI noise reduction for recording in low light. An integrated 5nm AI chip and two dedicated pro-imaging chips are designed to ensure sharp images and fast, optimised processing. The camera lenses have a particularly hard coating. If something does get damaged, you can replace them yourself.
The 2.5-inch display offers you a preview. You can control the camera and adjust settings via touch. Alternatively, you can use the Insta360 app. The camera uses four microphones with a multi-layer windscreen made of steel mesh. You can choose between four sound modes.
The camera has a 2400 mAh battery for up to 185 minutes of recording time (at 5.7K 24fps in endurance mode). According to the manufacturer, the quick charge function provides 80 per cent charge in around 20 minutes.
