Waterproofing is pretty poor. The Insta360 X5 is IPX 8 before any dive case is added.

For those who use a POV camera...
IMO a 360 camera is the only option, like others have said. The 2 ones worth considering are the insta360 x5 and the GoPro Max 2. I got both to test out and see which I liked more. Here’s my experience as someone that comes from a professional video background: Insta360 X5 Pros Objectively better im

Is this repairable??
It looks like there are replacement body housings for cheap on ebay or aliexpress. I would assume it's not waterproof for submerging anymore after a DIY repair, but I'm sure OP could make it look new again. I doubt a cage would hold it securely unless the body was repaired first. I haven't had any i

Little Rattled….
I haven't found the perfect thing yet, but here's my experience so far. I found inexpensive action cams from Amazon were completely disappointing - no sound when in the waterproof cases and no weather protection without the case, poor battery life with easy to lose covers and the image stabilization

Anyone tried both foldable selfie sticks?
I’ve got the K&F one and while the principle is fantastic. The locking mechanism is not. Despite being in the locked position. I still managed to launch my X5 off it and scratched one of the lens. It also wobbles leading to no peace of mind. I wish I went for the Insta360 one with the traditional tr

Is OSMO360's 1in sensor really superior to Insta360's X5?
You don't need either a heat gun (most people own a hair drier and it's not even needed in the first place as it will pop off without heating anyway) or T7000 glue, it's just super glue. You don't even need to put the lens back on as the water/dust proofing is a silicone ring inside the lens itself,

What kind of cameras do you use on your bikes?
I’m using a generic stem mounted out front mount for the GoPro similar to this. I’m using the official insta360 handlebar mount for the X5. I’m not sure if I would feel comfortable mounting that to the gravel bike where there’s a lot more rough stuff going on. It’s pretty heavy duty but I’ve heard o

This is so frustrating, this happened on multiple dives over the week..
Im in a 2 month dive trip with this insta360 x5 dive case. I tried the dove case the very first time today and these anti fog inserts keeps falling off. It is so difficult to insert the fog inserts with paper and have to do this every single dive. This is absolutely ridiculous paying $100 for someth
