Insta360 X3-360 Degree Waterproof Action Camera with 1/2
Insta360 X3-360 Degree Waterproof Action Camera with 1/2″ Sensor, 5.7K 360, 72MP 360 Photos, Stabilisation, 2.29″ Touch Screen, AI Editing, Live Streaming, Webcam, Voice Control with 64GB Memory Card
Camera is amazing, video quality is just outstanding.. the only annoying thing is the SD Card sent with camera is wrong one and too slow causing camera to freeze and not work at all.. luckily I had a super fast one already for my dash cam… buy a disappointing thing for such an expensive purchase..
This is a great piece of kit, very easy to use either for photo or video,
when used with the selfie stick the results are amazing, i also used it attached to my push bike and was amazed at the 360 footage.
Editing the footage is so easy even on a mobile with impressive completed videos that you can send straight away to your friends via your mobile.
As someone who has owned every single insta360 one camera this is by far the best. Works in a similar way to all previous cameras in the range but being the latest has the best quality. Actually bought as the megapixel count of photos has been increased.
It has great potential and can do things ‘normal cameras just cannot do. However, it does use a massive amount of memory per video (5K) so make sure you have an SD card that is at least 256GB in size.
The editing process can take some time, so this camera will slow down your productivity and you have to be aware of this. It also has a tendency to overheat and stop recording after approx 30 mins of continuous recording.
Battery life is very good, but I did purchase 2 spare batteries just in case!
There is so much you can do with this device and it is designed really well. Absolutely love taking it around. I recommend a longer selfie stick for fake drone looking shots. The product is good but the ease of use in the app which you get access too including the desktop/Mac version is the selling point.
I used to own the X2 and was always impressed by the quality of the footage. The X3 is no different and provides the same quality footage.
With a new waterproof casing it’s more practical to use around water and I don’t worry if it get wet.
The app is good but limited to 1080p unless you import the footage to a pack or Mac and use the insta application to create clips. Not bad as you are able to get more results using the application and the phone app is more for in the moment uploads.
On the use of the mobile app it’s a bit clunky to have to keep connecting to it via wifi but as ai say I don’t really rely on the app. If you don’t have a desktop or laptop then you won’t really benefit from the full resolution. The app doesn’t work with Google street view anymore as Google retired the application. There’s a new online version of street view so would be great to see that feature added.
Battery life is good and I often use the camera in my car for my daily commute and that’s an hour usually. Not experienced any issues with the recording including using loop record to save filling the memory card daily.
Would like to see GPS from my phone included so I can track speed etc without needing to purchase the GPS module as I feel it’s not needed if you have a mobile phone.
Overall a great camera with cool features and options to cater for most use cases
The quality of the videos is amazing. I had no idea how to use this even after reading instructions so if you are similar to me ie getting on a bit, then ideally you need some young person to show you. I wrote it all down in a way I could understand. I only do basic videos and add music, also I have been taught to put + signs on the video when editing it so that the camera moves around following those +`s rather than just staying on the person holding it. I bought a longer selfie stick and it never ceases to amaze me how it is invisable on the videos accept in shadows. There is a lot more that can be done with this camera of course and perhaps it`s wasted on me but I love it.
This lived up to expectations!
Great for holidays with the family.
Definitely needs a bigger storage card, 512Mb in my opinion.
Also needs phone storage big enough to fo editing of the video footage later.
Quality is brilliant, the effects from the insta are just insanely good. Read reviews on the Internet before buying and Believe this is the best on the market at the moment.
If you’re a video fanatic, definitely get on!
Great seller, excellent feedback!!!. although the only issue encountered was related to the Invisible Selfie Stick. The advertised product image did not match the one received, but after contacting the seller, they explained that Amazon had not updated the image. Although the received selfie stick was original and fit in the case, it did not have the foam grip as shown in the picture. Upon informing the seller, they agreed to send the correct one, but cautioned that the advertised version is longer and may not fit in the case. Therefore, it is advisable to inquire before purchasing to ensure that the desired product is received. Aside from that, everything else was flawless.!!!.
Love this camera. I bought it for work and it does more than I expected. East to use. Very pleased with purchase. Finding new things every time I use it. Well made. Well lacked. Comes with a great sleeve to pop in to protect it. Really pleased with it.
Ok so firstly I loved my GoPro and even though I pretty much gave it away regret not still having it as I think they both sit in different aspects of an action cam…. But! Insta360 x3 is way more fun! I created a cool video on my very first run which people straight away commented how cool it actually was.
The camera will obviously record in 360 so when it comes to stabilisation you have 360 at your hands to stable the picture recorded at 5.7k and 30fps.
Loads of different modes but that being said it’s so simple to use my kids are intelligent so no question they could use it but put it in the hands of a grand parent then I think even they could given a few pointers be able to use it and after time get the jist of its unique angles it can record and as for the selfie stick….. Wow amazes people and has them scratching their heads on how on earth you recorded the footage, drone normally comes to mind, nope it’s invisible selfie and camera.
So I ran with 360 and go incredible video, 2nd run (today in fact) not so great as I tried to use it like a GoPro as FOV mode and the shake was bad! However like I say it’s new to me and I realised the for this FOV+ is wayyyyyy better with stabilisation and horizon lock wish I’d sushed that before.
Camera is awesome to being able to take 72MP 360 picture and you can chose which bit to crop to share or just share a 360 photo.
The app is incredible with loads of tips, tutorials, templates, editing tools and social element where as you can view other members videos and pictures to see what you can achieve when you become Zen Master!
All in all do I recommend absolutely! Do I suggest replacing your GoPro…. I’d keep the two and you will soon see what the advantages of each bring. I can see this being such fun though! Get one and if I were you get the package with the not so good memory card and just buy another SanDisk high-speed card, you will save money anyway!
The camera is fantastic. Picture quality is great and video is pretty decent once you get used to the settings and figuring out how to maximise quality with the right manual settings. The kit I got had the lens protector which is fine and the selfie stick which is great quality, although I would have preferred it slightly longer. The memory card supplied is just not up to scratch speed wise and just isn’t good enough…. They’ve cheaper out with the memory card in the kit. I’ve knocked a star off for this reason. Factor in having to end up buying something like a SanDisk Extreme Pro to get the speed needed.
This is an amazing device for videography giving you perspective not possible with traditional cameras or phones. The best thing is that you don’t need to frame or think about your shots. Just start recording and forget. You can re-frame later and the results are more interesting than the traditional videos. The companion app gives you a lot more effects to play with and as time passes you will get more familiar with so many options that it’s never boring. I used to get bored with my traditional camera gears but no more. This one will give you the perspectives that you will love it always
First time owing a 360 camera and can honestly say i love it.
The best about it you can just film without worrying about shaking and angles and reframe it all whenever you want
The image during daylight is awesome very bright days tends to blowout the highlights but hdr mode does help a little
For dark lighting the camera struggles with noisy image however it wasn’t made for low light so as long as there is enough light its going to ve you awesome results.
Love it will definitely recommend i
I have owned 360 cameras since 2014 and this is a great addition to my collection it works really well the stabilisation is unbelievable and the extra things you can do included with the software makes it a great usable fun camera with a serious side to it as well.
I also own the insta360 one X2 and use the X3 by choice, there’s not a lot between the two but if I was buying only one I would go for the X3
I’ve been doing 360 photography for twenty years before the advent of 360 cameras. I have about six different dedicated 360 cameras and this is the first ive had an arounder that does photography and video well with great software, workflow and ease of use. Good price and loads of accessories. Can be used on its own with phone and pc with ease. Its not the best at everything but not far away but a fantastic all-rounder its got great stitching, dynamic range, both with video and stills and is now my go to action camera and the fact that its water proof and fits in a pocket is a joy for using in Scotlands weather whether youre doing water sports or out enjoying the countryside. Great piece of kit a usable battery life, a true gem that I would easily recommend.
