Riding w/ Helmet Mounted Action Cam - Anyone else experienced this?

Yes, 100%! It's made a massive difference for me. I use an Insta360 X5 on a break-away mount from Ghost Drift: It is very noticeable. Just a heads up: You might get some hostility from posters in here. I've had people get upset with me and try to say it doesn't matter, drivers won't notice the camer

How to capture this perfect 360 rotation? - 360 camera or attachment on wheels of some kind?

You can get a 360 camera like the GoPro Max or the Insta360 X5 and just place it in the middle and leave it recording - then in the app you can create this perfect rotation, it comes with pre-made movement templates also.

Insta360 X4 buyer’s remorse — worth keeping if it’s only for a couple big trips a year?

I bring my X5 to my local attractions with the mindset that the more i record, edit &!reframe - i learn new skills along to way leading up to my vacations / holidays. For me, it’s the process rather than the end result; 360 cam is a way for me to unwind, chill, appreciate nature and my surroundings

Is anyone using the Insta360 app on iPad (with an X5)?

I use my iPad Pro 11” to edit my X4 footage. I use the insta360 app to reframe and edit. Then I export to photos and use LumaFusion to further edit. With the X4 (and I’m sure X5) you can plug the camera directly into the iPad via usb-c and you get to retain the use of your WiFi for internet connecti

360 cameras for filming slots

I’ve been recording my canyoning trips for a few years and used GoPro, DJI and insta360. I honestly done care about brands, I just want the best tool for the job. Firstly with 360 cams vs traditional action cams. 360s are great for canyoning, they capture everything and you don’t have to worry about

First time getting coal rolled

I currently use an Insta360 X5 on my helmet with a GoPro Hero 4 session under my saddle. If you can only afford one camera, the helmet is the best setup. It provides the highest chance of getting the motorist's face, which is needed in the US for police to do anything. While not everyone can afford

Disappointed.

TLDR: No, the X5 has user replaceable lenses that you can buy for around $30USD and twist off the old one yourself and twist the new one one. YMMV, but I've owned a 360 cameras for 5 years (an Insta360 X2 and X5) and I've never scratched it snowboarding or skiing because the snow isn't hard enough t
