Why the spyware?

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

The latest Insta360 Luna rumors vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, is DJI losing the race?
That’s the problem with the insta360 stuff right now. They leverage TOO Much On the AI stuff inside the camera. I’ve moved away from a insta360 X5 to the DJI Osmo 360, just because the file it produces it’s more “natural” and easier to edit with the 10Bit colours. The videos from the X5 can be nice

Gopro max 2 vs insta X5 (vs osmo 360)
I'm no GoPro fanboy... I fucking hate the company and their shitty software. I also love the Insta360 software. That said, the X5 "8K" is fake. It's not a true 8K, it's an upscaled 5.7k I believe. Do with that information what you will. Not having seen any real reviews on the MAX2 yet, who can say i

A new M43 camera, from insta360. The rumor turns out to be real.
Hope it has better user interface than my insta360 X5. Also the app and PC software are disgusting full of advertisements and junk.

X5 to phone to insta360+ cloud
I just came here to ask a similar question. I bought my X5 a few days ago to take it on a car club road trip today. Each of my videos is about 1 hour long. I'm home, connected to wifi. the X5 is burning hot as it is uploading at a horrible 4.9Mb/s and shows it's going to take more than 7 hours for t

State of apps is disappointing
Out of curiosity are you using the standard mini M4/16gb, or upgraded version, more memory, etc? No issues with insta360 studio and editing x5 8k files? I'm considering an Mini M4, or possibly and Mac Air or older Mac Pro, in lieu of buying an $1000+ Nvidea card for my PC, as my Radeon 6800XT is woe

Insta360 X6 is really coming now
I think that will lead to a loss of sales if software features are not back ported and artificially locked to the newer model. That is doubly so for basic features such as RAW photos. Insta360 keeps adding features to their models. If DJI locks them off and doesn't support a camera that wasn't even

GPS stats from iPhone to desktop Studio?
Hello, I open insta360 app on the iPhone and connect to my X5 (bluetooth, wifi, mobile data and gps all turned on on the phone). Then in the bottom right corner of the app I click "Me". Slightly above the middle there is "GPS Activity Stats - Enhance your videos with a real-time stats dashboard" I o

Is OSMO360's 1in sensor really superior to Insta360's X5?
Osmo360 does look much better in low light and more natural/less AI overall (I had X5 and switched after testing side by side). Insta360 still has better software/firmware updates though.
