Question 1

How has Insta360 X5's low-light performance improved compared to X4 and X3?

Accepted Answer

For the first time ever, a 360° camera is paired with three AI chips for a 140% increase in overall computing power for powerful image processing, faster image speed, and improved quality. Combined with larger 1/1.28" sensors, X5 captures more light to enhance details at night. X5 also features PureVideo Mode, a specialized low-light shooting mode that delivers advanced AI noise reduction, enhanced brightness, highlight suppression, and optimized dynamic range for clear, vivid footage, no matter the lighting.

Question 2

How big are Insta360 X5's sensors?

Accepted Answer

X5 is equipped with dual 1/1.28" sensors, which are 144% larger than X4, resulting in richer details, superb clarity, and more vivid colors. With a 2.44μm equivalent pixel size and 13.5 stops of dynamic range, X5 delivers quality akin to that of professional cameras.

Question 3

What are the advantages of InstaFrame Mode?

Accepted Answer

InstaFrame is an incredible new mode that records both a flat video and a 360º video at the same time. Before recording, select either "Selfie View" or "Fixed View" and choose your desired angle. After recording, you'll get an instantly shareable flat video file with no editing needed, saving time and effort. You'll also get a full 360º video file that you can go back and edit later, ensuring you never miss any exciting moments.

Question 4

Is Insta360 X5 compatible with Insta360 X4's accessories?

Accepted Answer

X5 has the same 1/4" mounting point as X4, so it's compatible with the same 1/4" accessories. However, due to changes in size and optical performance, it is not compatible with X4-specific accessories such as the Carry Case, Invisible Dive Case, Utility Frame, Fast Charge Hub, and more.

Question 5

What power adapter do I need to charge Insta360 X5?

Accepted Answer

It's recommended to use a 9V/3A adapter with PD support, though a 5V/3A adapter will also work.

Question 6

What size of memory card is recommended?

Accepted Answer

For shooting in 8K or for prolonged continuous recording, we recommend a memory card with a capacity of at least 256GB.

Question 7

What is the advantage of shooting in 360°?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional photography or videography that captures a limited frame, 360° shots capture everything around the camera, eliminating the possibility of missing important details or moments that are happening off-screen. You'll never miss a moment again! The magic of 360º capture is choosing the best angles after recording. With AI-powered reframing tools in the Insta360 app, just hit record and find the perfect shot after.
