Insta360 has just unveiled its newest powerhouse, the Insta360 X5, and it’s set to redefine how you capture your world. This flagship camera is a game-changer, boasting a leap in image quality thanks to its larger sensors and a super-fast Triple AI Chip system, allowing for stunning 8K30fps 360° video. Even those tricky low-light situations are no match for the new AI-powered PureVideo mode, delivering crisp, cinematic footage.
But the X5 isn’t just about looking good; it’s built tough for any adventure you throw at it. Insta360 is calling it their most durable 360° camera ever, with lenses crafted from a new ultra-durable glass. And in a first for the industry, it features a replaceable lens system, so you can easily swap out damaged lenses on the go – no more adventure-ending cracked lenses! They’ve also packed in upgrades like a built-in wind guard for clearer audio, an extended 3-hour battery life, and waterproofing down to 49 feet, making the X5 the ultimate sidekick for all your active pursuits.
From hitting record to sharing your epic creations, the X5 makes the whole 360° process effortless. The all-new InstaFrame Mode is a stroke of genius – it simultaneously captures a ready-to-share flat video (auto-framed for you!) and the full 360° video for you to play with later. The Insta360 app has also gotten a makeover with more intuitive editing tools, and pairing with the Insta360+ cloud service lets you instantly share those immersive 360º clips, edit in the cloud, and more.
JK Liu, Insta360’s Founder, perfectly sums it up: “X5 redefines 360° cameras by tackling the real challenges creators face. From those innovative replaceable lenses to AI-powered low-light shooting, we’ve built our dream camera – rugged enough for any adventure, capable of capturing seriously high-quality footage, and smart enough to make epic moments effortless to capture.”
Ready to get your hands on this game-changing camera? The Insta360 X5 is available for order starting April 22, 2025, at all Insta360 Official Stores nationwide, Insta Premium Kiosks in Aerophone, and select retailers, with prices starting at Php 32,990.
The X5 isn’t just about high resolution; it’s about incredible image quality in any lighting. The larger 1/1.28″ sensors capture a massive 144% more light compared to the X4, and the Triple AI Chip system (featuring a 5nm AI Chip and two Pro Imaging Chips) works wonders to reduce noise, giving you clean, uncompressed images no matter the conditions. With a 140% boost in computing power, every moment – from thrilling rides to underwater explorations – becomes clearer, brighter, and more vivid.
Low-light shooting gets a serious upgrade with the dedicated PureVideo mode. Advanced AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimization ensure clear and vibrant footage even when the lights are low, perfect for capturing those late-night city adventures or motorcycle rides. And for those high-contrast scenes, the upgraded Active HDR now shoots at a smooth 5.7K60fps, giving you sharper, more detailed shots.
Insta360 has taken their already impressive 360° capture and made it even better and simpler with the X5. The beauty of 360° is that you capture everything, all the time, so you never miss a shot. Solo creators and travelers will love the invisible selfie stick effect for those impossible third-person perspectives.
But the new InstaFrame mode is a game-changer for simplifying the 360° workflow. Hit record, and the X5 creates two files: an instantly shareable flat video (you can choose a fixed view or a selfie view that keeps you in frame) and the full 360° clip, ensuring you never miss those unexpected moments.
For the adventurous among us, the X5 is built to handle whatever you throw at it. Say goodbye to adventure-ending cracked lenses! With the X5’s first-of-its-kind replaceable lens system, you can easily swap out damaged lenses on the go with the handy Replacement Lens Kit. The lenses themselves are also made from a new, high-strength, scratch-resistant glass, making them much less likely to get damaged in the first place.
Insta360 has also made improvements across the board for action camera enthusiasts: a built-in wind guard and improved audio algorithm for clearer sound, a longer-lasting 2400mAh battery for up to 185 minutes of 5.7K recording (with fast charging from 0 to 80% in just 20 minutes!), deeper IP68 waterproofing to 49ft, a convenient magnetic mounting system for quick accessory swaps, and their industry-leading FlowState Stabilization + 360° Horizon Lock for super smooth footage. Plus, new ways to hit record include the intuitive Twist to Shoot feature, Voice Control 2.0, Gesture Control, and pairing with a wireless remote.
Editing your 360° masterpieces is now easier than ever with the revamped Insta360 app, featuring a sleeker interface and new intuitive tools. The one-tap Dewarp button removes fisheye distortion, and a new one-tap export option lets you share without any editing or reframing. Of course, all the existing powerful features like Quick Edit, AI Edit, Shot Lab with tons of AI templates, and a full manual editing suite are still there. For the highest quality exports, Insta360 Studio, their desktop editing software, is also completely free.
To top it all off, the X5 is compatible with Insta360+, their cloud service that offers automatic file backup, instant sharing of 360° footage, cloud editing and export, and more, making it even easier to share your adventures with the world right from here in Metro Manila and beyond!
