Insta360's 360-degree action camera with 5.7K capture and FlowState stabilisation — for creative VR content.
The Insta360 ONE X launched in 2018 as a 360-degree action camera capturing 5.7K 30fps video in full spherical format. It combines two fisheye lenses to create seamless 360-degree footage that can be reframed in post-production to any perspective.
Records 5.7K 360 video and 18MP 360 photos. FlowState stabilisation provides gimbal-like smooth footage without hardware. The 'shoot first, point later' workflow allows reframing to standard flat video in editing. Bullet time mode creates Matrix-style frozen-time effects.
Two fisheye lenses capture full spherical view. 1/2.3-inch sensor per lens. Removable battery. MicroSD card storage. WiFi and Bluetooth for phone control. Lightweight at 90.9g. 60-minute battery life. USB-C charging.
Available used very cheaply. The ONE X2 improved waterproofing and added a colour touchscreen. Insta360 ONE RS and beyond are significantly better. Check both lens surfaces for scratches — both must be clear for 360 stitching. Best for creative content creators wanting 360 footage.
