Riding w/ Helmet Mounted Action Cam - Anyone else experienced this?

Yes, 100%! It's made a massive difference for me. I use an Insta360 X5 on a break-away mount from Ghost Drift: It is very noticeable. Just a heads up: You might get some hostility from posters in here. I've had people get upset with me and try to say it doesn't matter, drivers won't notice the camer

Insta360 X4 buyer’s remorse — worth keeping if it’s only for a couple big trips a year?

I bring my X5 to my local attractions with the mindset that the more i record, edit &!reframe - i learn new skills along to way leading up to my vacations / holidays. For me, it’s the process rather than the end result; 360 cam is a way for me to unwind, chill, appreciate nature and my surroundings

Shopping na naman

Ay wow bumili ng Insta360 X5 as if naman marunong mag edit. Hindi instant ang video nyan unless puro AI gamitin nya na editing haha. Makikita rin full body nya dyan sa 360. I think wrong choice 🤣 Hindi rin naman sya pang adventure so why invest when inggit sa Cenzons haha

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

Self filming is hard

I designed and 3D printed a mount for my Insta360 X5. Captures everything and can reframe later.

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

Should I buy Insta360 x5 ?

great if you travel or are jsut out and about or on a bike and want to "relive" the entire moment in 360 in the future.. Even if you reframe you can catch any scene you want around that you might not have cuaght with a regular camera. Here is article comparing x4 to x5... about 100 bucks difference

Dash cam

I have a Vantrue F1 4k system. 4k front, 1080p. Uses Sony starvis sensor so as good as it gets at night video. Excellent quality. Fit and forget. I also have an insta360 x5 mounted on the front but don’t consider that a dashcam more of a “catch cool things” camera!

Reasons to not buy the X5?

I've never used the GoPro Max or the Ace Pro 2 so can't compare anything to those. I went from the Ricoh Theta S3 to the Insta X3 to the X5 (I've always liked the candy bar form factor - skipped the X4). Reasons not to buy X5: Price (really only reason I see) - Factoring in new accessories you will
