Two large lenses capture all of the action with a new one-half-inch sensor that allows for 360 videos up to 5.7K as well as up to 72MP photos.Īt its core, with the AI-powered Insta360 app, it really is a perfect companion for active content creators who want an easy-to-use, on-the-go option for capturing some incredible footage. The Insta360 X3 is waterproof up to 33 feet and features a removable battery. On the right side are two additional buttons for powering the camera on and off as well as calling up a menu to quickly swap between customizable presets. Under the screen are buttons for starting and stopping recordings as well as swapping between 360 mode and single lens modes. This makes changing settings and previewing angles a breeze. One major upgrade with this camera is the large touch screen on the back. Last but not least, there's now a "Loop Recording" mode which essentially turns your X3 into a 360 dashcam (say, for motorcyclists), and it only keeps, at maximum, the last 30 minutes of footage.Rather than the modular design of the Insta360 One RS that we checked out earlier this year, the X3, an evolution of the X2, is an all-in-one candy bar-shaped 360 camera that is ready for pretty much anything right out of the box. These two require good lighting condition to work properly, though. Not to mention the app's Shot Lab feature which offers more than 30 cool effects for you to experiment with.Īnother new feature is 8K 360 timelapse which is apparently a highly requested feature, along with a new 4K option for the single-lens mode (but you can dial down to 2.7K for the wide 170-degree field of view). But of course, there's no stopping you from using "Deep Track 2.0" (manual target selection) or "Auto Frame" (AI-selected highlights), if you insist on capturing everything in 360 degrees just in case. This saves you the trouble of reframing a 360 footage before you can output a "flat" video like the olden days. Insta360 added some new shooting modes as well, with the most notable one being "Me Mode" for directly capturing "flat" selfie videos with the selfie stick already rendered invisible. In other words, no reframing is required afterwards. The new "Me Mode" on the Insta360 X3 for capturing conventional selfie videos with the selfie stick rendered invisible. The X3 is also a little chunkier, mainly due to its larger removable 1,800mAh battery - a notable jump from the old 1,630mAh. That said, it's worth reminding that you'll still need the optional dive case with special optics, in order to capture stills or footage underwater. The Insta360 X3 (sans the "One" sub-brand moving forward) continues to carry the candy bar form factor, and like its predecessor, it's waterproof down to 33ft or 10m out of the box. Today, after almost two years since the One X2, Insta360 is finally updating its flagship all-in-one 360 camera with the aptly-named X3, with the main differences being the enlarged sensors, touchscreen and battery, among other bits of goodies. It's an interesting mix, too: its modular action cam refresh, a 360-camera drone attachment, a 6K 360 camera with 1-inch sensors and, most recently, a gimbal webcam. It's unclear what Insta360 has been feeding its team lately, but so far, the company has somehow managed to release one new product almost every month since March.
