Thanks to its larger 1/1.28" sensors and special Pro Imaging Chips, the Insta360 X5 delivers outstanding image quality even in low light. The PureVideo mode with AI noise reduction ensures vivid and clear recordings in any lighting situation. 360° videos allow you to select the angle later with AI-supported reframing. The ultra-hard coating on the lenses protects against damage, and the interchangeable lens design means you can easily replace them yourself if necessary. The powerful battery enables up to 185 minutes of recording time and charges to 80 % within 20 minutes. In addition, an innovative windscreen effectively reduces wind noise and ensures crystal-clear sound.

360-degree cameras are ideal for quick shots on any occasion. You never have to worry about the right setting because the camera is always on and filming anyway. Only the post-processing in the apps is still a little fiddly, but it works after a little familiarisation. The 360-degree veteran Insta360 with the X5 came out on top in the test, thanks to its strong image quality and overall good features...
The Insta360 X5 is more than just a 360-degree camera, as it can also be used like a classic action cam. The compact housing with the two lenses fits comfortably in the hand. The camera is operated via a large, portrait-format 2.5-inch display. While all-round shots are recorded in crisp 8K, UHD clips at 60 frames per second are possible in action cam mode...
An action camera is an expensive accessory. The X4 currently costs 100 euros less than the X5 and can largely hold its own against the newer model. Those who run the risk of breaking their camera during use will benefit from the X5's interchangeable lenses. The new InstaFrame selfie mode is not robust. In poor light, the larger sensors and AI-supported noise reduction have a positive effect.
The Insta360 X5 focuses on the user experience: better results in low light, fast and instantly shareable videos thanks to Insta-Frame and simple editing in the app. The images look great thanks to 8K resolution and image stabilisation, and the colours and contrasts are superb. On the other hand, there are deductions due to the bulky dimensions and the rather high price.
