Product Information

And if you’re looking to produce remotely normal-looking videos, you’re not going to be using all of that raw 5.

Using the X3 in its most zoomed-out mode, the quality is sharp, displaying a range of vivid and natural colours – with the X3’s performance being simply decent in low light and quite excellent in the sun. There's no way to edit the names of the labels, which is a minor complaint, especially given the convenience of saving presets with different modes and frame rates to best handle the scenes you're looking to capture.If 360-degree content isn’t essential, we’ve got a list of action cameras that could make a good alternative. Some Bahrain content was filmed a little too far from the cars and zooming further in soon saw the footage become unusable. The Insta360 X3 has double the water resistance of the GoPro Max, at 10m/33ft, and matches the GoPro Hero 11 Black. Swipe gestures are available to switch to playback mode, access the main menu, and take manual control over exposure.

These allow the camera to capture higher-quality single lens 4K video footage, higher-resolution 72-megapixel photos and 8K timelapse videos – although the maximum resolution for 360 videos remains the same at 5. We also poked the X3 through fences and over walls to get as much interesting fly-on-the-wall footage as possible. Selected lines only, determined by size, weight or whether delivered direct from one of our suppliers.

It's painless, though; our Mac Studio ripped through the conversion process, which stitches the footage from the two lenses together and saves it in a standard H. There’s certainly not a night and day difference, in good light or poor, although I did spot slightly lower levels of chromatic aberration on the X3 clips. It’s extremely useful when you’re shooting outdoors, or when there’s partial tree cover up top – one of the tricky parts of shooting 360 video is the exposure level is not just judged on what’s in front of you, but your entire surroundings.
