Product Information

Note: Apple’s One-Year Limited Warranty does not apply to products that are not Apple-branded, even if packaged or sold with Apple products. Insta360 built its brand on dual-lens cameras, and creators who have stuck with the format have been well served by its One series of cameras. This camera’s portrait aspect screen seems huge in comparison, and is also larger than the GoPro Max’s display. Naked and retro bikes will have more mounting points (including on the handlebar) but I was able to find several mounting points on my Yamaha R7.

Fully upgraded, immersive audio4 mics and an advanced new algorithm ensure X3’s audio is crisp, natural and balanced. 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.

It’s extremely useful when you’re shooting outdoors, or when there’s partial tree cover up top – one of the tricky parts of shooting 360 video is the exposure level is not just judged on what’s in front of you, but your entire surroundings. The X3's dual lenses capture everything around the camera, and a waterproof design makes it ready for adventures. Put it next to a contemporary GoPro or Insta360’s other gear and you won’t be impressed, but stick to 360-degree footage and you'll see precisely where your money’s going. Take advantage of the Invisible Selfie Stick effect and shoot wide angle video without needing to reframe with Me mode.

But before I get into what the X3 is like to use while on the go, it’s first worth talking about the Selfie Stick. Stitching on an iPhone 13 was also speedy, though we'll note that phone editing drops resolution for stitched video down to 4K and caps reframed video at 1080p. BNPL is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months depending on how much you spend.We found the process fastest on a laptop, as mouse control just feels that bit more precise than on a phone-size touchscreen. And when you shoot in the single-lens mode, the only drawback when shooting at 16:9 is the preview image is smaller. Auto Frame finds the best parts of your 360° videos for you, giving you a range of reframed clips to choose from. Have the app turn your 360° photos into animated videos with the Photo Animator using AI facial recognition and preset effects.
