Lots of problems

5 out of 5 stars

Lots of problems
Unfortunately this camera has been nothing but problem after problem. Tech support has been somewhat helpful but I’m at the point where I just don’t want it anymore. Constant issues with WiFi dropping out and disconnecting from app. I havent been able to connect anything via bluetooth successfully. AirPod and the insta mic which I already returned. Now I have this weird over exposure issue in 360 mode outdoors. Completely washes out the picture but single lens seems be ok. Over it. Insta360 reached out and exchanged the camera for a different one. Everything works on it, Bluetooth connects and WiFi is stable. Their support has been great.

    This camera is great.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2023

    Style: Battery KitVerified Purchase

    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.

    Perfect Camera For Anyone Getting Started With 360 Content!

    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023

    Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase



    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.

    Great photospheres, 360 photos

    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2024

    Style: Selfie Stick KitVerified Purchase

    Google is phasing out their photosphere feature on their Pixel phones and I wanted something that could do 360 photos faster for capturing environments on vacations or anything else I want to document. The HDR mode is really good for dimly lit indoor environments which was the first thing I used this on. I was moving out so I wanted to capture the old rooms and the new place.

    The camera takes awhile to setup and get going. And then when I did take a 360 photo it was all in black and white. Apparently I had to do something or wait for it show up in color, but they don't make that clear, I thought I was using some wrong mode. I use the HDR mode which doesn't seem to have that extra step (it does take a few seconds for the HDR to process though).

    The photos save to your SD card, but I like the feature where you can upload this to your Google Photos account where I can view them like I could with the old photosphere feature (looking around with VR mode). And of course it's just where I like to keep my photo albums.

    The invisible selfie stick is crazy too! It looks like the camera is floating.

    Overall, I haven't used the other features yet since I was mostly interested in 360 photos, but it gets the job done and the photos look great.
