Insta360X3 Ultimate Kit - 360 Action Camera with 5.7K 360 Active HDR Video, 4K Single-Lens Camera, Waterproof, FlowState Stabilization, 2.29" Touchscreen, AI Editing, for Motorcycle, Wintersports

After having used the camera for more time now and having tested the video editing software, I am updating my review with a better score.First of all the recording quality is great, both video and audio and can be viewed on a big screen TV with crystal clear image.The camera has a wind noise cancelation feature that you can turn on that I really like.It works by the camera having four mics, one on each side, and the camera chooses audio input from the mic that has no wind noise.This makes audio recording great in any condition.I used this camera to record some family videos during a festival in town.Being able to just hold the camera up with the invisible selfie stick and record without having to worry about what is in frame is great and allows you to be in the moment.Then after I got home, with the included video editing software you can just reframe the video making it look "professionaly" shot, capturing all key moments.For example we had many family members attend this festival and I was able to capture key moments without even realizing it until I started editing in the software.It even allowed me to experience moments I had missed while I was focused on something else. Which is what I would describe as a sort of a spiritual experience.This made realize the 360 video recording isn't just a gimmick or for specific scenarios. It is fantastic to capture everything happening around you and allowing you capture specific events that you would have missed with a normal camera.The software is very easy to use and allows you to follow a target or adjust keyframes manually.It comes with a plugin to be used with professional video editing software if needed.In my first review I mentioned the camera overheating, but that was in the scolding California sun, no shade and no air movement.I have not had any problem with overheating other than this one time, so this was just due to these extreme environment conditions.I ordered the mic adaptor that has just arrived and am looking forward to testing it with a wireless mic.

The media could not be loaded. This is an excellent camera for those who want to get started in 360 content.The Insta360 X3 is a solid choice if you're looking for a camera that delivers good quality at a reasonable price. The device has a 1/2" sensor and records in 5.7K, which makes it great for capturing high-quality footage. It even has an 8K timelapse mode for even higher quality content. It also comes with Me Mode, which removes the keyframing and tracking steps that were needed in the past if you wanted to focus on your self.This camera is compatible with both Android and iOS devices, making it easy to use with almost any phone or tablet. Using the Insta360 app you can pick from a wide array of templates, trick shots, or edit your own footage. The community is also very nice and supportive.The Insta360 X3 also has a larger display than previous models which make it easier to see what I'm filming without having to take out my phone or look at it through the small porthole viewfinder like the X2. The battery life has been updated as well. It's not a huge difference but I did notice I was able to record for an extra 5-10 minutes which is great considering the display size has increased substantially. If you're in the market for a well rounded fun 360 camera the X3 is a solid choice.PS: the Giraffe picture was taken on the X3 and the bicycle video was recorded using Me Mode.

Insta360 has made some incredible cameras in their short history but the Insta360 X3 has to be one of the best. They have taken some of what their higher end 1" 360 camera had (which I also own) and put it in a body like the previous X models to make a supercharged action 360 camera. There is something nothing else even close to this for its capabilities, features, and quality.Having the nice big screen is huge for action since you can easily change what you need to while on the go while also seeing what the camera sees, without having to get super close and squint like with some other competitor non-360 cameras.The footage and images this thing puts out are just fantastic and it is super durable as well. I will grab this for some outings before I will touch the 1" 360 camera, thanks to the X3's durability and waterproofing.Plus, the Insta360 app has been amazing, kind of like giving you a studio in your pocket for right after you captured your awesome footage.The Insta360 X3 has a new 1/2 sensor which gives better low light performance and greater detail, something that even the new GoPro HERO 11 does not offer. The higher megapixel count gives greatly detailed photographs as well, in addition to giving you extra space to crop in.Anyway, I currently own 4 Insta360 cameras as well as other action cameras and I can tell you - the Insta360 X3 is the one to have. If you don't want 360 footage all the time, the new X3 you can also shoot single-lens mode to capture just one direction, great for if you don't want to reframe the 360 footage and you just want to capture one direction.For all your action or any kind of on-the-go photo/video needs, the Insta360 X3 will check every box and, when combined with the Insta360 app, you will have a go-anywhere studio that gives you views, angles, and images that you cannot get with any other camera. Give it a try!I will update this more after I have used it for some other activities as well.
