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

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

My V70R in the Rain

I would have rigged my proper camera but didn't want to risk destroying it from all the rain, so I used a suction mount rig and the Insta360 X5, which is inherently waterproof and you can reframe the footage in editing to point whatever direction you like.

I definitely got scammed on the Osmo360

Anybody can work in these stores, they are not experts like us 😭 In your country you need to tell the reason for giving camera back right away? For scuba you need Insta360 X5, there are some very good deals now on Cosco and similar (just dont buy directly from Insta350)

Top tips for the X5

In random order: Use/test the camera BEFORE the "big day" as this is not a point-and-shoot. You will need to adjust it to your conditions and have working knowledge of how to operate it if you want the best shots. Protect the camera: for an "action camera" the X5 can be surprisingly fragile (the ear

Best camera for shooting USPSA

I use the Insta360 stuff - go3S hat and X5 for 3pv I’ve tried it all- GoPros are too heavy and the gap to insta in image quality and mic has gotten narrower quite a bit. The form factor on the cameras is unbeatable. The X5 has lenses you can swap if you scratch them - which has happened on 3 of the

X5 vs. Osmo 360 comparison chart 👀

I think the Insta360 X5 is more the adventure 360 cam especially for underwater action and the DJI is more for the photographers / videographers who want more resolution for tweaks. I must say that I like it more to use a SD Card than a build in storage capacity

There will be a lot of disappointment if people believe in the overhype…

Insta360 are fine, I use their x5 for canyoning and it’s great. Can it be better, of course. This DJI 360 cam is gen one. It won’t be all that. No replaceable lenses and poor waterproofing means it’s a none starter for me. But that’s fine, I’m excited to see the competition between the two improve t

Osmo 360 promo leaked: 50fps, 8k, 1-inch, 10-bit and chep

I like my X5 but insta360 is getting annoying with the cloud features, like having an upload to cloud button that doesn't do anything if you aren't subscribed, good that DJI enters the game. The shape is weird, also no replaceable lenses? Not for me yet... But easy switch if insta gets annoying with

X5 quality in pool and shallow underwater environments

I posted a couple weeks ago, no dive case, footage is fine, the underwater footage isnt great, but its fine for family memories. My dive case just got shipped so Im excited for that. https://www.reddit.com/r/Insta360/comments/1kklaob/x5_underwater_with_no_dive_case/
