About this deal

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. The headline is that it has larger, higher-resolution 48MP sensors behind each of the camera’s fisheye lenses.

A new voice control algorithm makes it easier to control X3 when your camera is mounted out of reach. The Insta360 X3 lenses have to capture a full 180 degrees, the GoPro Hero 9 Black’s do not, and this mode crops into their view substantially. A firmware update while I was writing this review, however, solved this problem and, by the time I had come to publish, the X3 was feeling as snappy and responsive as its predecessor. I prefer to use a 360 camera when I’m biking or skiing, mainly because the camera records in all directions at once, so I don’t need to worry about where it’s pointing; I can get on with my ride or my run and then reframe the footage so the camera’s viewpoint is pointing in the right direction when I get home. A versatile and easy-to-use 360-degree action camera, the Insta360 X3 takes what made the One X2 special and amps it up a notch or two.

The most impressive thing from our bike footage was how it handled wind noise, despite often being suspended in the elements, the Insta360 was able to pick up chunky engine sounds from our parallel twin – especially when stationary.

The footage from Bahrain wasn’t blown out, and the X3 was able to balance the cloudless skies with the sandstone buildings while keeping all the detail you’d want. 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.And for those interested in the materials used, the sides are plastic with a diamond embossed texture, for extra grip. Impossible Third-Person ViewsThe Invisible Selfie Stick disappears in your edit, enabling you to capture aerial angles and third-person perspectives that are only possible with a 360 action cam. As with the previous model, the best thing about the Insta360 X3 is that it makes shooting and processing 360 footage incredibly easy. Android devices with Snapdragon 845 and above chips, including Samsung Galaxy S9, Xiaomi Mi 8 or newer models.

The battery provides about 80 minutes of record time per charge, but is removable so you can swap a spare in for extended use. However, we saw little obvious benefit after manually changing this to 4K resolution in the desktop Insta360 Studio software. Devices that do not meet the above requirements may still be able to use the app to control the camera, however, performance of some processor-intensive and AI-powered features may be sub-optimal. The world of action cameras used to be exclusively occupied by GoPro, but in the last few years, that stranglehold has been eroded thanks to competing manufacturers such as the master drone aficionados, DJI and of course, the ever-brilliant Insta360.Two ultra-wide lenses capture everything in view, not just a portion of a scene like a single-lens camera. or above, including iPhone SE 2, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 mini, iPad Air (2020), iPad Pro and newer iPad models. Excellent camera hardware like the X3 plays a role in the company's longevity, and matches it with mature software that lets you do much more with 360 video than simply present everything around the camera. The Insta360 X3 also has major usability benefits over any Insta360 camera released to date, mostly thanks to the unusually good screen.

The Insta360 X3 takes a solid couple of seconds to actually start recording clips, and the GoPro Max feels instantaneous by comparison.This upgraded version features a bigger battery and a larger screen than previous models, plus voice control.

One thing to note about processing your videos via the Insta360 smartphone app is that it’s still not possible to export a reframed video clip in 4K resolution, despite the fact that this is the resolution Insta360 recommends for the best possible quality when exporting to YouTube.
