Insta360 X5: Features and Specs

The X5 steps up from its predecessor with larger 1/1.28-inch sensors — 144% bigger than those on the Insta360 X4 — and an f/2.0 aperture. This upgrade lets users capture incredibly sharp 8K/30fps 360° video or switch to 4K/60fps using a single lens.

Thanks to its dual imaging chips and a 5nm AI processor, the new PureVideo mode dramatically improves low-light performance by using AI-based image enhancement.

The X5 offers several creative video modes like:

Timelapse

Bullet Time

Road Mode

TimeShift

Loop Recording

It also features four microphones with 360° audio capture, a steel mesh windscreen, and a magnetic mounting system for fast accessory swaps.

For still photography, the camera delivers 72-megapixel and 18-megapixel images, along with modes like HDR Photo, Interval, Burst, and Starlapse.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2 (Low Energy), and USB 3.0 Type-C.

Battery and Durability

The 2,400mAh battery charges to 80% in just 20 minutes. In Endurance mode, it offers up to 185 minutes of continuous recording at 5.7K/24fps. At 8K/30fps, you can expect around 88 minutes of recording time. The camera boasts an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, capable of surviving up to 49 feet (15m) underwater.
