Insta360 X3 Standard Bundle - 5.7K Waterproof 360 Camera

I recently got my hands on the Insta360 X3, it's been a solid addition to my camera gear. First off, the waterproof feature is great. I took it along on a beach trip, and I didn't have to stress about splashes or accidental drops in the water. The camera held up perfectly, capturing some amazing shots of my friends and the waves without a hitch. The image quality is impressive too. The 360-degree feature lets you capture everything around you, which really makes for some fun editing later on. I loved how easy it was to switch perspectives, and the detail in the footage is stunning. Even in low light, it performed better than I expected for a compact action camera. One thing I appreciated was how user-friendly it is. The app that comes with it is intuitive, and the editing features are straightforward, making it easy to create cool videos without spending hours fumbling around. Battery life has been decent, lasting through most of my outings, but I recommend keeping a portable charger if you plan on shooting all day. Just a little heads-up! Overall, the Insta360 X3 has been fantastic for capturing adventures. It's versatile, durable, and really fun to use. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something that can handle action and still deliver quality results

Okay I admit it, I am a fan of the Insta360 Cameras. Their range and ecosystem of Editor/Creator app for Smartphone/Tablet and PC/Mac make for an overall fabulous package. Both Camera and Software are fairly easy to learn and use. The latest update to the PC/Laptop package is a significant improvement over previous, being fully up with the mobile app. I bought the Insta360 X3 as an upgrade to my One X2 to gain the higher capabilities. The larger screen is a delight, I've never been a fan of the little circular screen of the One X2. Not only does it make for easier access to the camera's menus but also as a viewfinder it is so much clearer to see. The X3 is slightly thicker, not that its noticeable in the hand. The batteries of the X3 are not backwards compatible with its earlier models. The USBC charge door is now hinged on the X3 which not only makes it easier to access and use the USBC port but also does not suffer the risk of the older model's door tether breaking with wear and tear exposiong the door to loss. This may not seem a big deal, but it would be if you lost the door, where the camera would no longer be waterproof to any depth at all. Overall the X3 is a nice iterative update to the previous model. There are legions of reviews about the differences and how well the X3 works and what you can do with it that I will not attempt to duplicate here. Suffice to say, the Insta360 X3 is a great 360 camera that is unbeatable when considered as a whole with its companion Apps for Smartphone and PC/MacBook.

Excellent camera. The 360 degree recording is amazing! I've used this on the road (using a car mount) while driving through Turkey, in Morrocco capturing some amazing footage. I got too excited when i first purchased it and was recording everything in 360 but i then started to cut down on this because it does consume tonnes of disk space but not everything is required in 360. The App is excellent and the AI tool magically creates you a short small sized clip. Highly recommened!

I bought the Insta360 X3 over another popular action-cam brand because I wanted to be able to record video without having to worry about getting the action in the frame, the Insta360 having 360 degrees of vision will capture all action regardless of the direction of where the camera is facing - perfect! The immediate thought when I first set eyes upon the camera was 'wow, nicely made!'. The physical quality of the device is certainly good with a nice feeling to the plastic housing and even the screen has a 'hard' sort of feeling to it, as though it should be able to take some mild abuse from scratchy mucky fingers and the like. The screen response is crisp and almost totally lag free along with the image that is both bright and high resolution. It is touch screen controlled and responds to gestures such as swipes and presses etc to navigate the menus along with some real-life buttons (yey!) that are easy to press and have enough feed-back that you know that you've actually pressed them. There is a coloured LED on both sides of the camera so you know if it is in a recording or standby state. Battery life is generally very good, I know some complain about the 80 minutes (approx) recording time but bearing in mind the decent screen, two image sensors and the physical size of the camera and battery which aren't that big really, then I think that the battery lasts really well with all things considered - spare batteries are available and I don't think they are badly priced compared to other similar devices. Image quality is very good, not amazingly good - but still very decent indeed! The videos are 5.7K or whatever but in reality because of the nature of the 360 degree image - what you will see on your screen will be 1080p, the 5.7K refers to the total of the whole image being captured in every direction, not the reduced image size that you will view with a monitor or TV. The app and PC software are both fairly quick and easy to use with plenty of editing options. I prefer to use my PC to edit and output to Premiere Pro or After Effects but the phone app is also extremely powerful and both pieces of software are extremely quick to process and output files. So, why four stars then rather than 5? Ok, I'm taking many things into consideration here: The video output after editing at the highest resolution is adequate but it is clearly not 4K quality. If the environment lighting isn't bright enough (such as in a forest or shaded area etc) then the image quality looks more like 720p because of the ISO grain. Don't even think about using the HD option if the light isn't good as the frame rate will also take a large hit (which is most undesirable!). In brighter conditions the recorded image is very good indeed, almost as good as the other action camera brands but with a mega 360 degree image - which is incredibly good, it really is! (just stay in the sun shine!) Sound is good as long as there is no wind at all and you are fairly close to the camera body. The 360 stereo effect is great if you walk around the camera talking (or playing music etc) Maybe this will be a bit of a 'mute' point but I'm giving a honest review here: The menu system is great, clear and easy to navigate - but I don't like the way that options only appear depending on the mode that you are in. So, if you want to take a 360 video for example, then select either normal or HD video mode - all the options and settings that will be available will be only for the selected mode. Now, want to take a still photo? Select photo mode and all the options and settings will be for the photo only - as that is the mode the camera is in. I use far more expensive cameras, all have global options so that the setting menu is segregated into photo, video, time-lapse etc etc so that all the settings are in one place, all can be adjusted from the main settings menu so that everything can be viewed and easily navigated. I find that on the Insta360 with the relative settings only being available within each mode - this is long winded to less intuitive to make adjustments. Yes I know, want to adjust a photo mode, select photo and go into the setting etc - but I'd rather have all the settings in one place regardless of the mode the camera is set to. The last point is if the camera is is standby mode, as in it isn't in recording mode and has sat idle for a few minutes - be very careful that when you press the record button that the the LED turns red to indicate that it is actually recording. I've had a couple of issues that I awaken the device by pressing the record button to find that a recording wasn't initiated - this was because the camera makes a 'beep' noise on awakening so be mindful that you may need to press 'record' twice to actually set the camera to record. (check for the red LED every time!) To conclude: The good: The Insta360 X3 is a well made action camera with 360 degrees of vision - it makes capturing incredible moments an absolute breeze as it can see everything in all directions at the same time, amazing! The video it produces is easy to edit with the included software and it will look very decent as long as the lighting is good. The image stabilisation is absolutely mind blowingly amazing, really it is that good! Battery life is perfectly fine, buy and carry a spare but you won't be changing it excessively in my opinion. File sizes are not excessive compared to professional cameras, take a few Micro SD cards if you are worried but generally one decent 128gb card will suffice for most days out. The Bad: Image and video quality in bad (shadowed) lighting will be fairly poor, it will be grainy and look poor resolution. Avoid dark areas at all costs! The sound quality, though far better than previous generations and even better than some popular alternative cameras can be a bit 'hit and miss' depending on the amount of wind/air movement. I've not mentioned the 'invisible selfie stick' yet - yes, it does work great, exactly as advertised but bear in mind that it is quite flexible at full extension. It is not suitable in any way to be used with part of a mountain bike bracket or similar due to the inherent flex in the extensions. If you are going to mount the Insta360 X3 on a mountain bike then use only a hard fixed bracket or chest mount - let the amazing image stabilisation look after the rest. For 'drone' type shots, use the selfie stick but only on fairly bump free ground or at low levels of extension. Would I recommend? Yes, it's one of the best 360 cameras on the market at the moment in 2023 - give it good lighting and you'll be very happy with it.

First of all this is a great camera. Far better quality than the equivalent priced gopro. However the editing software is poor and lacking features that are required to stitch two or more clips together. This means that if you want to post a 360 video to YouTube then you have to record it all in one go. You can't record one clip in one location and then another clip in another location and join them together. You can if you convert the file to a flat type video and then import that into Premier Pro but that's a extra cost. Sadly until they add this feature the camera is pointless for my application.

I absolutely loved my Insta360 X3 and still miss it after losing it. This camera made capturing adventures so much easier and more creative than any other action cam I’ve used. The 360-degree shooting meant I never had to worry about missing the action—just hit record and reframe everything later, which is a game-changer for travel, sports, or just hanging out with friends. The video quality is fantastic, with crisp 5.7K footage and really impressive stabilization, even in the middle of fast movement or rough conditions. The touchscreen is big and responsive, making it easy to switch modes or review shots on the go. I also loved the companion app, which made editing and sharing clips super intuitive and fun when I just want a quick clip out. Battery life was solid—I could shoot all day on one charge most of the time—and the camera felt rugged enough for anything I threw at it. Just be mindful of the lenses. If you want a camera that’s genuinely fun to use and lets you be as creative as you want, the Insta360 X3 (or the newer X4) is hard to beat.

Absolutely unreliable piece of tech, occasionally shuts down or stops recording, Then randomly got hot and frozen during time lapse, since then display no longer turns on nor connects to the app over WiFi, only start up chime and led lights that's it. Insta360 tech support recommended sending to Hong Kong for warranty. And I have to pay for postage 😑 So no UK based tech support so off to Amazon it went for refund. Imagine if you purchased it for professional use or a planned holiday - your day and trip would be ruined and left in limbo for repair outcomes. Now it does capture amazing perspectives and the best 360 camera out there just don't rely on it , have alternatives ready

The Insta360 X3 is a game-changer in the world of action cameras, delivering jaw-dropping 360-degree video and photo capabilities in a compact package. Its effortless operation and superb image stabilization make capturing immersive content a breeze, and the accompanying app simplifies editing and sharing. If you want to take your content creation to the next level, the X3 is a must-have.

Llego un día antes, todo venia en una caja y venia en buenas condiciones, la verdad hace buenas todas y en la edición es muy fácil de hacerlo Excelente cámara

I’m glad I bought it as a gift for my husband, got it for a good deal too.

La cámara está súper genial! Compré el kit Bateria y llegó todo sellado sin golpes, todo mejor de lo que esperaba. Muchas Gracias!

As described

Lieferumfang & Erster Eindruck Im Lieferumfang befindet sich natürlich die eigentliche Kamera, die Insta360 X3. Des weiteren gibt es das passende USB-C Ladekabel sowie den Akku. Der Akku kann recht einfach eingesetzt sein. Man muss lediglich darauf achten, dass alles richtig einrastet, damit der Akku auch abgedichtet ist. Was wirklich praktisch ist, dass direkt eine weiche Tasche dabei ist, sodass man die Kamera mitnehmen kann ohne das etwas zerkratzt. Zum Starten wird dann eine Micro SD Karte benötigt. Hier würde ich euch mindestens 128GB empfehlen, damit man auch längere Videos aufnehmen kann ohne immer die SD Karte wechseln zu müssen. Nach dem ersten Einschalten habe ich die Kamera mit meinem Smartphone via Insta360 App verbunden. Das hat ohne Probleme funktioniert und daraufhin wurde erstmal ein Software Update installiert. Mein erster Eindruck war sehr gut, die Kamera lässt sich super bedienen und das Display ist ziemlich groß. Display Das Display ist im Alltag sehr gut! Es ist viel größer als von anderen Insta360 Kameras und somit sieht man auch viel besser was aufgenommen wird. Durch das große Display sind auch Änderungen im Menü viel einfacher. Bedienung Man bedient die Kamera entweder direkt am Display, in dem man durch Wischbewegungen z.B. den Modus ändert. Die eigentliche Aufnahme startet mann dann per Knopf unter dem Display. Neben diesem Knopf befindet sich noch ein weiterer Knopf, der die Perspektive der Linse wechselt. Da wir hier ja eine 360° Kamera haben, sind 2 Linsen vorhanden, die im 360° Video Modus dann simultan aufnehmen. An der Seite gibt es dann noch den Ein- und Ausknopf und einen Q Button. Dieser Q Button ist im Alltag wirklich sehr nützlich. Drückt man auf Q, so kommt ein Schnellzugriff Menü und dort kann man vorgefertigte Presets hinzufügen. Beispielsweise eine Vorlage zum Skifahren, eine Vorlage zum Vloggen, eine Vorlage für Slo Motion und so weiter. Dadurch muss man nicht mehr durch die Menüs und immer seine Settings ändern, sondern erstellt sich einfach die Vorlagen. Film / Fotomöglichkeiten Wenn man von links nach rechts auf dem Display wischt, dann gelangt man zu den verschiedenen Modi. Beim normalen Videomodus filme ich am liebsten mit einer Auflösung von 5,7K und 30 Frames pro Sekunde. Das sieht super flüssig aus und durch die hohe Auflösung ist das Material sehr klar und detailreich. Neben dem Standard Videomodus gibt es dann noch einen Active HDR Videomodus. Dieser ist besonders sinnvoll, wenn ihr an Orten filmt, wo es viel Dynamikumfang gibt, beispielsweise viele helle und dunkle Stellen. Im Zeitraffermodus können 8K 360 Videos aufgenommen werden. Es gibt noch haufenweise andere Modi wie z.B. TimeShift oder Bullet-Time. Für Bullet Time benötigt ihr allerdings noch ein Bullet Time Zubehörkit von Insta360. Das lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach, denn mit der Time Bullet Funktion bekommt man ganz besondere Aufnahmen hin. Wer Sterne mag, kann sogar per Starlapse Sternschnuppen aufnehmen. Ihr seht schon, dass für jeden etwas dabei ist, sodass man sich auch kreativ austoben kann. App Neben der Hardware bietet Insta360 noch die passende App an. Über diese kann die Kamera sowohl gesteuert werden, aber damit kann auch das Material von der Kamera ganz einfach und schnell auf das Smartphone übertragen werden. Was ziemlich cool ist, dass das Material direkt in der App angepasst und geschnitten werden kann. Man benötigt dafür keinen PC mehr, alles geht direkt über das Smartphone. Unter dem Menüpunkt Stories gibt es noch die sogenannten Shot Labs. Hier findet man kreative Ideen und Effekte, die man dann mit Hilfe von kurzen Anleitungsvideos ganz einfach nachmachen kann. Somit kann man Videos erstellen, bei denen andere Leute denken, dass diese sehr aufwendig waren. In Wirklichkeit gehen die aber sehr einfach und schnell über die App. Das ist schon magisch. Bildqualität Gerade bei einer 360° Kamera musste man in der Vergangenheit oft Abstriche bei der Bildqualität machen. Die Bildqualität der X3 ist nun so gut geworden, dass das die erste 360° Kamera ist, die ich allen Leuten ohne Abstriche empfehlen kann. Durch die 5,7K Auflösung hat man genügend Details, dass man das Video auch ohne Probleme croppen kann. So kann man aus einem 360° Video beispielsweise über die App ein 9:16 Video für Instagram exportieren. Fotos habe ich auch so einige gemacht und war von der Bildqualität überzeugt. Besonders tagsüber bei gutem Licht macht die Kamera sehr gute Fotos und Videos. Fazit Alles in allem bin ich begeistert von der Insta360 X3. Ich kann sie auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Die Bildqualität ist super und die vielen Modi haben mich begeistert. Ich würde euch allerdings auf jeden Fall noch einen Invisible Selfiestick von Insta360 und das Bullet Time Zubehör empfehlen. Erst damit kann man alle Möglichkeiten nutzen und noch kreativere Videos erstellen. Egal ob Einsteiger oder langjähriger Videoshooter. Diese 360 Kamera ist eine absolute Kaufempfehlung.
