X5 is Insta360's next-generation flagship 360° camera, redefining what’s possible in immersive content creation. With cutting-edge imaging tech, AI-powered enhancements, and a streamlined user experience, the X5 is built to empower creators of all levels.

It features groundbreaking 8K image quality, advanced AI-driven processing, and an industry-first Dynamic Follow Mode—all designed to push the boundaries of storytelling. Whether you're capturing adrenaline-fueled action, epic travel footage, or cinematic b-roll, the X5 delivers unmatched creative flexibility, allowing users to capture both immersive 360° footage and traditional flat videos in a single shoot. One take. Endless joy.

Alongside the hardware comes a major upgrade to the Insta360 App, introducing AI-assisted editing and cloud integration to make content creation and sharing smoother than ever. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, the X5 marks a bold step forward, staying true to our mission of innovation, simplicity, and creator empowerment.

The X5 is a significant leap forward from the X4—designed with direct input from our community and packed with upgrades that matter in the real world. In short, the X5 sets a new benchmark for what 360 degree cameras can achieve.

First up: image quality. With a larger 1/1.28" sensor and our new Triple AI Chip system, the X5 excels in low-light performance and delivers ultra-sharp 8K 360° video. It tackles one of the biggest asks from X4 users—better clarity, especially in challenging lighting.

Then there’s the all-new rugged, replaceable lens design—an industry first. Coated with an ultra-hard optical film, the lenses offer significantly improved scratch resistance and a 100% boost in drop protection. Even better, they’re now fully user-swappable on the X5—easy-peasy. No more stress over accidental cracks or long repair waits. Just swap out damaged parts on the go.

We’ve also boosted workflow with AI-powered editing tools, longer battery life, faster charging, improved audio capture, and a re-engineered cooling system to tackle overheating. Altogether, the X5 isn’t just a step up—it’s a next-gen creator’s tool, a camera you can truly count on to free daily hassle and push to the limits.

How has Insta360 X5's low-light performance improved compared to X4 and X3?

For the first time ever, a 360° camera is paired with three AI chips for a 140% increase in overall computing power for powerful image processing, faster image speed, and improved quality. Combined with larger 1/1.28" sensors, X5 captures more light to enhance details at night. X5 also features PureVideo Mode, a specialized low-light shooting mode that delivers advanced AI noise reduction, enhanced brightness, highlight suppression, and optimized dynamic range for clear, vivid footage, no matter the lighting.

X5 is equipped with dual 1/1.28" sensors, which are 144% larger than X4, resulting in richer details, superb clarity, and more vivid colors. With a 2.44μm equivalent pixel size and 13.5 stops of dynamic range, X5 delivers quality akin to that of professional cameras.

InstaFrame is an incredible new mode that records both a flat video and a 360º video at the same time. Before recording, select either "Selfie View" or "Fixed View" and choose your desired angle. After recording, you'll get an instantly shareable flat video file with no editing needed, saving time and effort. You'll also get a full 360º video file that you can go back and edit later, ensuring you never miss any exciting moments.

For dim indoor scenes or nighttime environments, we recommend using 8K30fps PureVideo Mode. For standard indoor scenes, we recommend using 5.7K30fps PureVideo Mode with Active HDR turned on.

X5 has the same 1/4" mounting point as X4, so it's compatible with the same 1/4" accessories. However, due to changes in size and optical performance, it is not compatible with X4-specific accessories such as the Carry Case, Invisible Dive Case, Utility Frame, Fast Charge Hub, and more.

It's recommended to use a 9V/3A adapter with PD support, though a 5V/3A adapter will also work.

For shooting in 8K or for prolonged continuous recording, we recommend a memory card with a capacity of at least 256GB.

To consistently achieve the best results with your X5, use UHS-I microSD cards with a V30 or above speed class and exFAT format. Using incompatible microSD cards may cause issues while recording, and footage may be damaged or not usable.

Notice: Do not use UHS-II/UHS-III microSD/TF cards, or memory cards larger than 1TB. These cards are not compatible and may cause issues while recording.

You don't have to do anything! X5 automatically detects when the lens guards are installed or removed and adjusts the stitching parameters for the best effect. In the edit, the Insta360 app and Studio will automatically apply the best stitching parameters based on whether the camera uses Standard Lens Guards, Premium Lens Guards, or no lens guards.

Since X5 is a brand-new product, we are not offering any discounts at this time. X5 is a great value at its current price.
