Deep dive into what 8K 360 really is !

Granted iPhonedo is anti insta360’s marketing technique He made a video of it even. Im a fan of his since day1 Even taken into account of his biasness. His evidence and breakdown seems legit. The point is personally I feel it’s still the best 360 cam out there if anyone needs one. If I didn’t have m

Avata 360 teaser is out

I don't think you have much 360 camera experience like with the Osmo 360 or the Insta360 X5. They take photospherical 8K video. You can either leave it that way (which is insane for VR since it's like your head is right where the drone is - like you're flying and you can look around... or as most pe

Hugh Hou: Osmo 360 vs Insta360 X5 32m unsponsored rewiev

“Unsponsored” lol. A review is unsponsored when you don’t get the camera for free before launch as an incentive to talk well about it. Anyways I’ve seen the entire video and he mostly talks about the lack of detail of insta360 compared to the dji, but he didn’t mention in which sharpness mode he use

Silver SUV with somewhere important to be.

Insta360 x5. It's good, but not 'read the license plate' good. I even tried saying 'enhance.'

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

Go Ultra question

The Purevideo lowlight mode is softer without question, considerably so... but thats mostly the case with all action cameras that have a low light mode in 2025 (Action 5 Pro, Ace Pro, Ace Pro 2, X5, Osmo 360 and GO Ultra). The camera cranks up the ISO to get the scene to stay bright and maintain a s

Screenshot comparing image quality X5 to Osmo 360

If you read the disclaimer, the guy is comparing an unprocessed DLog DJI image to an over processed X5 image. This is not the way to compare images. Insta360 is going to clearly look better. Plus I would say that Insta does an amazing job processing images in general. Not only did this guy get himse

Deranged Pedestrian Rant (also best camera to document ride?)

Best is subjective, but I can recommend Insta360° X series cameras. If you ride at night, an X5, if you ride mostly in daylight hours an X3 or X4 will suffice.

Query on OSMO 360

I just bought an Osmo 360. It’s totally worth it for your use case. But you should also consider the Insta360 X4 or X5. The Osmo has a bigger sensor but needs some time to catch up on sortware, stitching and the lens can only be replaced by authorized service centrea. But they know camera tech and w

X3 vs X5 image quality

From my experience (X3 -> X5) the X5 is much better (higher resolution and the colors really pop). But after the DJI osmo 360 I don’t know if I would purchase it again - the clarity and “AI-ness” of the insta360 is too prominent, and not really lifelike. It comes to style preference though! If you’r
