Insta 360 x5 (50 550) The company’s latest 8K 360 action camera and, while it is a different proposal for traditional action cams, it is more powerful, more reliable and easy to use.
The X5 has a large sensor of 1/2 inch sensor compared to a 1/2 -inch sensor, to ensure less light performance and remarkable promotion. The problem of wide -angle camera arrest is that the details end, especially in low light settings. Details are upgraded this time, which is substantially reduced, including 13.5 stops of the dynamic range.
Over the years, I have tried to add 360 degree cameras to my workflow, using both of them on holidays or on events. However, the material I occupied is in the evening or in a dark place, literally the basic weakness of this type of cameras. To cope with these shooting conditions, Insta 360 introduced a new purewio mode with clear, bright footage in low light conditions with AI noise reduction and dynamic limit correction. It’s not perfect, but it transmits the dim video to unusable decent, if not at all. With 5nm AI chip and two imaging chips, the X5 can now occupy the active HDR on footage up to 5.7K 60 FPS.

This chip also reduces the time of the array processing time. Insta 360 does not explain how fast, processing and file transfer was particularly fast in my smartphone. Compared to minutes on the previous devices, videos are almost immediately stored on the camera during my phone saving several short clips.
Although the X5 does not offer a high resolution video than its predecessor, it packs even more shooting options, such as Instam, which is rapidly becoming my shooting mode. The Insta Frame can record a common “flat” video and 360 degree video at the same time. The idea is that it provides a “quick sharing” flat video, which does not require any reforming or heavy modification.
But when you have to do, the Insta -360 fellow smartphone app has been improved, which has some incredibly useful modification tools. You can re -edit 360 degrees video to focus on the user, or force a single theory. It is also a quite intuitive, which is a trance that should not be ignored.

X5 has an incredibly versatile tool, and something to say for a camera that can take a grip Everything. However, in low -favorable conditions (or when you are not a camera person), you can prefer the traditional action camera’s easy settings and shooting methods.
The X5 performs better in the lower light, but in recent years we have not seen the improvement in low -light smartphone photography. Despite cautiously rotating in the evening to capture low light footage, then a vibration had an effect when the camera struggled to stabilize the footage. This can be reduced by being silent, but even with the pureudio (which can be a little too much aggressive noise), it is not enough yet. I will continue to test the camera and provide more comments. Insta -360 pushed a firmware update for X5 hours before publishing this story, which included recording 4k60FPS in single lens mode, and other recovery methods collide with several resolutions.
According to the design, you have to get up closely to tell the difference between X5 and X4. They are of the same size, though Insta 360 has changed a multi -faceted effect on the front, which has a panel for Mike (and a new mesh wind guard).
The battery compartment and the microSD slot are preserved with a double latch where the micro SD slot remains, and the sliding locks is stored by a solid cover. There is a great structure on both sides of the camera, with records and mood buttons under the screen.
With the same threaded Mount, the current selfie sticks of Insta 360 will work with its latest camera, though hardware changes will not cause fast chargers and cases. Most important thing: Insta 360’s tablet time effect is still –
In most settings, adjustments, such as its predecessors, are found in the screen, from all sides of the screen, well, in the bridge-down menus. The right swipe will take you to the gallery, while the manual camera options are off the left swipe. Toggle and Lock settings are located in the dropdown menu. There is a lot, but if you have used a smartphone, you should be aware of the basic navigation.

There is also a full list of small notable hardware improvements to the X5 than the predecessor,
Scratch resistant glass lens — who are worthy alternatives
A large capacity battery that lasts for 180 minutes
Sharp charging battery (0 to 80 % in 20 minutes)
New Built -in Steel Mesh Wind Guard
IP68 Water Proof up to 49 feet
Magnetic growing system
‘Twist -to -shoot’ record feature, twisting the attached selfie stick to start recording
Insta 360 x 5 is now on sale, A accessories bundle is also available in 60 660. This bundle includes an additional battery, fast charge case, “invisible” selfie stick, lens guards and Carrie case. This is $ 50 higher than the Insta 360 X4. Low light performance and new methods of shooting may be able to increase the price, but if there is a problem, do not expect a crisp 4K (or 8K) video.
The competition in this category is relatively limited. The Rico continues its theta series, with a similar camera form element, but it seems that more steel is focusing on the video, while Go Pro’s Max 360 camera lacks the features of the traditional 4K video capture, just give up 8K recording. The best alternatives are the other 360 cameras of Insta360, like last year’s X4.
Although there are less important and design changes than last year, Insta 360 X5 is another step for such a camera, both in terms of imaging and how to make your arrest.
