Product Information

You can export at up to 1440p if you edit your 360 video using the My Story editing tool in the app, but if all you want is to reframe one clip and export it, you’re still restricted to 1080p, which is bizarre and very confusing. That said, if you mostly shoot single lens videos, dedicated offerings from DJI, Insta360 and GoPro in our best action cameras guide fare better. If you are desperate for that full-screen preview, you can get the Insta360 X3 to shoot in 9:16 instead and turn the camera on its side.

Around the edge of Insta360's X3 is a textured finish which also covers its rubber switches, giving it a water-tight feel – and then there’s the inviting 2. A few days later we dried everything off and took it to the pounding heat of Bahrain for F1’s 2023 pre-season test, where it faced high temperatures, higher decibels and constant use, back-to-back with freezing temperatures and lashings of wind. That should make creators who want to deliver media to various social platforms that use different aspect ratios happy. The Snap Wizard feature is only compatible with iPhone 8 or above models (A11 or above chips); iPads with M1 chips; and Android devices with Kirin 990 and above chips (e. 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.Android devices with Exynos 9810 and above chips, including Samsung Galaxy S9, S9+, Note9 and newer models. The touch screen, one of the lenses, and a couple of control buttons are on one side, with a second lens on the opposite. With 360° capture, action-ready hardware and AI-powered software, Insta360 X3 is the ultimate pocket camera.

I tested the camera with the Mac edition of its desktop software and the iOS mobile app; Windows and Android platforms are also supported. USB: Type-C (Note: This version only supports wired connection to Android devices (via Micro-USB or Type-C). This upgraded version features a bigger battery and a larger screen than previous models, plus voice control. Whether or not it’s worth the money compared to Insta360’s other products depends very much on how useful you think 360-degree footage is. This leverages the slight overlap of the lenses’ vision to produce a flat clip in which a stick used to mount the camera becomes invisible.X3 has you covered with tough, tempered glass for the touchscreen, plus the option of Sticky Lens Guards for extra lens protection. Instead of only one control below the screen, there’s now a pair of buttons – one to start and stop recording plus one to switch between lenses. While I liked the modular Insta360 One RS, it was a small upgrade on the original One R, and the recent One X 1-inch edition – a modular 360 camera with 1in sensors – was far too bulky and expensive. In addition to the camera, it includes an additional battery, a quick-charging hub, a lens cap, a bullet-time cord, and a selfie stick that extends up to 114 ‌cm long. Not only does this screen make previewing and playback much easier than it was on the previous camera – the tiny circular display on the One X2 was only really good for mode switching and settings changes – it also makes the camera far easier to use.
