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

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

What BS: DJI Has NO Hardware Support for 360. DO NOT BUY.

Technically, there are kits to change it by yourself, the the exact same difficulty level than insta360 X5 😉 Another thing is DJI won’t help you depending on where you are/live because your gouvernment ban them from offering their services there, but you’ll still be able to buy third party replaceme

[OC] Planning to buy DJI 360 in Dec 2025. Windows user.

regarding the DJI app for windows.. it was already improved active tracking (almost same as Insta360) the only deal breaker is there is no user replaceable lens... but before the release of insta 360 x5 we dont have that replacable lens just lens protectors... i suggest getting that as the osmo 360

Which one to get: Insta360 X4 vs Insta360 X5?

I’m heading to San Diego and Las Vegas soon If you decide to buy the camera do not wait until the last minute to purchase it. Getting the best video requires setting it up (downloading the app is required for this) and familiarizing yourself with the operation of it. It is NOT point-and-shoot. l lik

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
