Insta360 X5 underwater

Although the Pro dome is much much better than original the x5 footage still isn't good for anything else than vertical socials IMO. There are stitching artifacts usually where it matters :-) and the quality in low light is still poor and mushy. Apart from stitching artifacts - dome reflections - for the documentation I would say yes but then it gets quite big that PRO dome and so It gets in the way... So I would stick to action cam as a B-roll or fun dive camera.

Here is link to full frame footage scaled to 4k https://youtu.be/721F2hq9XoQ

and here is a screen grab converted to jpeg, the HDR version looks better.
