Product Information

If you do that, though, you’ll miss out on all the creative possibilities a 360 action camera such as the Insta360 X3 delivers. It remains in the pocket-friendly format, and the solid camera is still waterproof to IPX8 to a depth of 10 m. Editing wizzes can do a lot with 360 footage, particularly with the included software, and HDR processing is a boon for picture quality in mixed light. In addition to the wing mirror mounts, I used a claw and ball-and-socket arm to attach the Insta360 to the engine crash protection and rear footpegs. When re-framing 360-degree footage, you set key frames along the timeline, and Insta360’s software generates smooth transitions between them.

You pinch and drag the view in the phone app to perfect each of these key frames, but rotational control is kept separate.This doesn’t extend run time much but it keeps it roughly the same and, given the larger display, that’s all you need. Around the edge of Insta360's X3 is a textured finish which also covers its rubber switches, giving it a water-tight feel – and then there’s the inviting 2. While I liked the modular Insta360 One RS, it was a small upgrade on the original One R, and the recent One X 1-inch edition – a modular 360 camera with 1in sensors – was far too bulky and expensive. MicroSD Card: UHS-I V30 speed class, exFAT format microSD cards with a max storage of 1TB are recommended.

It has only increased slightly in depth, at 180 g the action cam is around 30 g heavier than the One X2. Templates are included to speed up the process, and you can choose to output in a variety of aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 2. Its strength clearly lies as a 360-degree video shooter, although it can capture decent 4K footage with a standard action camera field of view, too, beating the GoPro Max for single-lens clarity. Including the Insta360 X3 1800mAh Battery , Insta360 X3 Fast Charging Hub, Insta360 X3 Dive Housing and Insta360 X3 Quick Reader. Android devices with Snapdragon 845 and above chips, including Samsung Galaxy S9, Xiaomi Mi 8 or newer models.It’s an incredibly crucial part of how you use the X3 camera, and it works wonderfully, with little concern about the camera's safety or missing the perfect shot.
