8K30 360° PureVideo

The X5 features ultrasharp 8K resolution, which is 78% more pixels than 5.7K for greater detail and clarity, making reframed video on par with standard camera footage for easier matching edits.

PureVideo features advanced AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimization that deliver clear, vivid footage, no matter the situation or light level.

Powerful AI Algorithms

Larger 1/1.28" sensors and a lightning-fast triple AI chip system set a new benchmark for 360° capture. This powerful hardware combination delivers true-to-life colors, stunning clarity, and brighter, more vivid visuals.

The X5 uses supersampling from 11K to 8K, making it more detailed and delivering truly immersive clips. Active HDR Mode is now upgraded to 60 fps to capture stunning details and colors in highlights and shadows, and it delivers superb stabilization even in action-packed moments.

Rugged, Replaceable Lens Design

The X5's new replaceable lens design lets you pop out the damaged lenses and easily snap in fresh ones with minimal downtime.

You can also say goodbye to scratches, cracks, and heartache thanks to the X5's ultra-hard optical film, boasting a 100% improvement in drop resistance compared to X4, effectively resisting scratches from keys, coins, and other metals.

Multicamera Shots and Instaframe Mode

A multicamera setup in one device, the X5 packs every possible angle into a single shot—no extra gear, no retakes, no missed moments.

With 360° video capturing everything around you, hit record and pick the best angles later with AI-powered reframing tools in the Insta360 app. Get perfectly framed video with zero editing by choosing a Selfie View or Fixed View before filming, and get an instantly sharable flat video. You can simultaneously capture a full 360° video while you capture flat video, ready for you to create additional edits or to capture unexpected moments.

Ultrawide POV

You can use the X5 like a traditional action camera and shoot crisp 4K60 first-person videos. You can go even wider with MaxView in FreeFrame Video, featuring a 170° FOV in 4K30.

The X5 processes 72MP photos in-camera, delivering high-quality, ready-to-share images with low noise and high-quality color.

Wind Guard and Clear Audio

Shredding trails or riding waves, your audio stays crystal clear with the new multilayer Wind Guard with steel mesh that silences wind gusts. The X5's upgraded audio algorithm cuts through wind and environmental noise for a superior, immersive sound, even while cycling or motorcycling.

A new intelligent audio mode that clarifies voices without the need for any extra microphones, perfect for vlogging.

Invisible Selfie Stick for Third-Person Views

When the X5 is attached to a selfie stick, the stick disappears in your edit, enabling you to capture aerial angles and third-person perspectives that can be achieved without a second operator.

AI Gesture Control

You can now use hand gestures to start/stop recording or take a photo, which is perfect for group shots, noisy locations, mounting on a selfie stick, when wearing thick gloves, or simply not disturbing others in the area with sound such as voice control.
