Insta360 Unveils the X5: A New Generation in 360° Action Cameras

Insta360 has officially announced the launch of the X5, its most advanced 360-degree action camera to date. Introduced on April 22, 2025, the X5 features upgraded 1/1.28-inch sensors and a high-speed Triple AI Chip system, which together enable video capture at 8K resolution and 30 frames per second. A new mode called PureVideo uses AI algorithms to enhance low-light performance, offering improved noise reduction and dynamic range.

In terms of hardware, the X5 includes user-replaceable lenses made from highly durable glass, making field repairs easier and reducing waste. Other design updates include a built-in wind guard for better audio quality, increased battery life—up to 185 minutes depending on settings—and an IP68 rating, meaning it is water-resistant up to 15 meters (49 feet).

The camera also introduces InstaFrame Mode, which captures both 360-degree and standard flat video simultaneously.

The Insta360 X5 is available starting at $549.99 for the standard package. A more complete bundle, including a selfie stick and extra battery, is priced at $659.99. Additional accessories such as lens replacement kits and spare batteries are also available separately.
