Insta360 X3 - Waterproof 360 Action Camera with 1/2" 48MP Sensors, 5.7K 360 Active HDR Video, 72MP 360 Photo, 4K Single-Lens, 60fps Me Mode, Stabilization, 2.29" Touchscreen, AI Editing, Live Stream

I recently got my hands on the Insta360 X3, it's been a solid addition to my camera gear. First off, the waterproof feature is great. I took it along on a beach trip, and I didn't have to stress about splashes or accidental drops in the water. The camera held up perfectly, capturing some amazing shots of my friends and the waves without a hitch. The image quality is impressive too. The 360-degree feature lets you capture everything around you, which really makes for some fun editing later on. I loved how easy it was to switch perspectives, and the detail in the footage is stunning. Even in low light, it performed better than I expected for a compact action camera. One thing I appreciated was how user-friendly it is. The app that comes with it is intuitive, and the editing features are straightforward, making it easy to create cool videos without spending hours fumbling around. Battery life has been decent, lasting through most of my outings, but I recommend keeping a portable charger if you plan on shooting all day. Just a little heads-up! Overall, the Insta360 X3 has been fantastic for capturing adventures. It's versatile, durable, and really fun to use. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something that can handle action and still deliver quality results

Okay I admit it, I am a fan of the Insta360 Cameras. Their range and ecosystem of Editor/Creator app for Smartphone/Tablet and PC/Mac make for an overall fabulous package. Both Camera and Software are fairly easy to learn and use. The latest update to the PC/Laptop package is a significant improvement over previous, being fully up with the mobile app. I bought the Insta360 X3 as an upgrade to my One X2 to gain the higher capabilities. The larger screen is a delight, I've never been a fan of the little circular screen of the One X2. Not only does it make for easier access to the camera's menus but also as a viewfinder it is so much clearer to see. The X3 is slightly thicker, not that its noticeable in the hand. The batteries of the X3 are not backwards compatible with its earlier models. The USBC charge door is now hinged on the X3 which not only makes it easier to access and use the USBC port but also does not suffer the risk of the older model's door tether breaking with wear and tear exposiong the door to loss. This may not seem a big deal, but it would be if you lost the door, where the camera would no longer be waterproof to any depth at all. Overall the X3 is a nice iterative update to the previous model. There are legions of reviews about the differences and how well the X3 works and what you can do with it that I will not attempt to duplicate here. Suffice to say, the Insta360 X3 is a great 360 camera that is unbeatable when considered as a whole with its companion Apps for Smartphone and PC/MacBook.

I use this camera every time I go out on the motorbike I have it mounted to a selfie stick attached to the bike. Travelling across Spain and the Pyrenees mountains I got some amazing shots and videos that will last a lifetime! If you’re looking for a camera that can do so much more than just take photos and videos I recommend this! Lasts about an hour and 20 minutes so unless you want to have a USB plugged in all the time you will need additional batteries which cost approximately €45 each and if you are outside of the UK that can prove very difficult to get them unless you are travelling via ferry as batteries like this are not allowed on a plane Unless they are in the unit they are designed for. Now that the motorcycle season is over, I also use this camera in my car as a taxi driver it covers inside and out. But I Long for next Bike season and the adventures to follow

Absolutely unreliable piece of tech, occasionally shuts down or stops recording, Then randomly got hot and frozen during time lapse, since then display no longer turns on nor connects to the app over WiFi, only start up chime and led lights that's it. Insta360 tech support recommended sending to Hong Kong for warranty. And I have to pay for postage 😑 So no UK based tech support so off to Amazon it went for refund. Imagine if you purchased it for professional use or a planned holiday - your day and trip would be ruined and left in limbo for repair outcomes. Now it does capture amazing perspectives and the best 360 camera out there just don't rely on it , have alternatives ready

Even though I knew the Camera needs a phone app to activate it, I didn't know I needed a far more advanced phone for the app to work fully. I had no problem downloading the app to my 2020 Samsung Galaxy Edge & even activating the camera but I soon realised I had limited use of the app. So, I cant frame any footage or do much editing on my Samsung Galaxy Edge. I have however discovered a hidden feature within the app which people who have reviewed the camera, never talk about. Its a feature called "Direction" & when you enable it, the footage you export to your phone will only show where the front lens was pointing during filming. If you dont enable it, the Auto editing will point in random directions & despite what some people say about how great Auto editing is, I found it really frustrating as it sometimes locked on irrelevant objects & stayed there till the end or it will focus on your face throughout the entire clip. Of all the several different types of footage I allowed Auto Editing to export, not even one was good. So with limited app use, the "Direction" feature on the phone app has given me room to export some good footage while I save up to buy an iPhone next month. Another problem is the battery. If you use the camera as a dashcam, the amount of power the car charger puts into the camera is slower than the camera uses so it will eventually switch off after about one &half hours. You would definitely need one or two spare batteries. So, you cant use it as a dashcam unless you only want to film short clips. As for the desktop app...let me laugh first, loool. My computer completely froze for two hours & I had to find tedious backdoor ways to uninstall the app. Apparently, my ViewSonic 1080p full HD computer is too old for the app so I now also have to upgrade or buy a new 1920 laptop - which is not cheap. A reconditioned laptop with a 17" screen on Amazon, is currently over £300.00. So, for a reconditioned iPhone & reconditioned laptop, Im looking at spending not less than £700. This is on top of other Camera accessories I need like two spare batteries (£40 each), a charging port (£50), External mic (£50-£200), a 3m selfie stick (£90), a car mounting kit (£70), a carrier bag (£30), body & rucksack mounting kit (£20). Oh, & not forgetting the two year insurance I took out for accidental damage at £32. Is it worth it? A big YES!!!

I love this little camera to chuck in the bag on quick trips. The picture quality isn't quite as good as the ONE RS, but I wanted something I could get in the water with on holiday. Then I fire up the software you can download with it and reframe any shot you need, so you really can't get it wrong. The stabilisation is banging and I've been using the selfie stick and holding up to give it a low drone feel. It's just a really good fun unit to have, I love it.

The marketing material is quite misleading, it talks of 5k this and 4k that, but what you actually get at the end of the day is 1080p footage, that only really looks good in outdoor well lit scenes. I think they should at least mention that edited footage is 1080p. If you're thinking of buying this as a GoPro alternative and thinking you'll get 5k footage out of it, you're buying the wrong thing. If however you like the idea of a camera that you don't have to make sure your subject is always in frame, like skiing with kids, and 1080p is good enough, then this is actually a really good camera. My 3 star rating is because I found the marketing to be misleading. I was expecting a re-framable camera with higher quality output than 1080p. Had they marketed this as a 1080p camera then I'd rate it higher as it is good at what it does, just not good at what they pretend it does.

Very happy with purchase and the bundle it came with. Lots of learning to do to learn how to get the best out of it but so far, I’ve found it fairly user friendly and there’s good YouTube tutorials to help you learn. My only gripe, and the fault is totally mine as a complete novice, is that it’s a bit heavy to have clipped on rucksack strap or worn on the head. For what I wanted it for, I probably should’ve researched a smaller option but the camera itself and how user friendly it is is very good.

La cámara está súper genial! Compré el kit Bateria y llegó todo sellado sin golpes, todo mejor de lo que esperaba. Muchas Gracias!

As described

Excelente cámara, me encanta todo lo que trae en cuanto modos de grabación

الكاميرا وصلت اصليه و مغلفه

Tengo muchas cámaras de acción y cámaras 360 y me considero bastante exigente por lo que la calidad de imagen y opciones es muy importante para mi. La X2 de insta360 ya me parecía una cámara excelente, pero es que ahora con la X3 es sin duda la mejor cámara 360 del mercado (sin contar la ONE RS 1INCH) En cuanto a cámaras 360 inst360 sin duda va sobrado. La nueva X3 tiene una calidad de imagen excelente, han mejorado varias cosas lo que la hace un producto ideal, por ejemplo, la pantalla ahora es bastante más grande que la X2 lo que es una maravilla, el sensor es mas grande, incluso puedes hacer timelapse en 8k, grabar en primera persona en 4k (como una cámara de acción tradicional, la estabilización es buenísima, incluso la he probado encima de un drone y el resultado es magnífico. También es sumergible para quién le interese, no es mi caso pero si que es cierto que es un extra importante, y no descarto en aprovecharlo para hacer alguna toma especial dentro del agua. El audio ha mejorado, lo que es importantísimo (podéis ver varios test en youtube) también la batería, yo personalmente con una voy sobrado, aunque se pueden comprar más si alguien lo necesitara. La óptica está muy expuesta y puede preocupar pero doy fe que es muy resistente y además puedes adquirir protecciones (no viene en la caja) También viene con un protector de neopreno ideal para transportarla, e incluso puedes cargarla con el puesto para que no tengas que apoyar la lente en la mesa mientras lo haces. En general es una cámara resistente con materiales que son y se sienten de muy buena calidad, es una cámara que puedes llevar en tus aventuras, viajes... y realmente te dará la vida porque es MUY FACÍL hacer vídeos increíbles gracias a su software. Es que el software que ofrecen es una locura, es muy intuitivo y fácil de usar, tanto desde el móvil como, desde el pc. Si eres buen editor puedes hacer cosas INCREIBLES con ella, da un juego brutal, pero si no lo eres como el software es tan fácil de usar no tendrás problema de hacer cosas muy llamativas, además, tiene unos modos SHOT LAB que con un par de clics haces cosas como cambiar el cielo (recomiendo ver su web donde tiene ejemplos de esto y otros "trucos" de software muy buenos. Una cosa que es muy importante y me ha salvado de varios problemas es que puedes reencuadrar después de grabar. Por ejemplo, si colocas una gopro en una moto, bici... y se movio o no has puesto bien el ángulo lo mas seguro es que esos vídeos no sirvan para nada, en cambio con la x3 tu la colocas y luego, ojo, LUEGO, puedes reencuadrar como quieras, también cambiar la resolución por ejemplo entre 16:9, 9:16... esto de verdad que me parece una maravilla. Una de las cosas que recomiendo adquirir a mayores es sin duda el selfie stick, es de locos porque puedes hacer tomas en tercera persona como si llevaras un drone o si alguien te grabara SIN QUE SE VEA EL palo selfie! esto lo uso mucho y me parece un invento muy bueno. En cuanto a contras, sinceramente no puedo decir nada, porque en la X2 para mi si tenían algun contra, como la pantalla que era algo pequeña para mi, la resolución aunque es buena podría ser mayor (aunque bueno hay que tener en cuenta que tenía más tiempo en el mercado) y el sonido se podía mejorar. Pero claro, ahora con la X3 han mejorado todo eso y más cosas, así que debo decir que estoy contentísimo con esta compra y sin duda la recomiendo. La pregunta es si es para ti esta cámara y yo creo que es una respuesta muy fácil, porque como es tan completa y ofrece tantas cosas (cámara de acción, cámara 360, webcam, live stream, timelapse, cámara superlenta, buen audio, buena resolución...) podrás usarla en todos los escenarios y por eso creo que vale su precio. Para terminar me gustaría nombrar alguna cámara similar para que podáis compararla con esta, pero sinceramente creo que no hay una cámara mejor por este precio en todo el mercado, bueno la única mejor es la ONE RS que tiene insta360 pero 1 INCH porque tiene un sensor mas grande entre otras cosas, pero con esta, por este precio es una buena compra. No suelo hacer reseñas por pereza, pero me está dando mucho juego y es por ello que creo que tenía que dar mi opinión por si sirve a otros usuarios que duden en comprarla.
