Diving at Similan Islands. Thailand, I found myself amidst a Barracuda School. One of these moments the Insta360 X5 is made for…

has anyone installed that new firmware and tested if the auto iso mush is still happening? thanks!

Has anyone ordered a insta 360 from Amazon and got it sooner than the Estimated delivery date? The earliest it arrives is a day after my birthday and if there was a small chance, I get it sooner.

Can't wait.

Considering this stick for my sports bike. However I just saw somebody mention that the top spins freely once the camera in secure? Like basically once the camera is secured to the stick, it can still spin around freely in any direction and there for, wind and cornering could in theory cause the camera to spin around while riding. Is this true!?

Can anybody recommend another good stick if this is not the one?

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

hi i have an insta 360 x5. I was able to reframe videos on my desktop app. However I cannot reframe 360 photos, am I missing something?

I finally submitted my entry for the Luna 3D printing contest and honestly, even without the contest this rig was well worth designing and printing. You can mount the Luna to the rig using a 1/4” camera mounting screw along with the 1/4” thread handle that comes with the Luna. Alternatively, you can use it without the thread handle with Velcro straps.

As you can see in the photo, the rig was tested with a real Luna to check for stability and durability. The locking mechanism of the elbow joint is super stable and prevents any wobble. To change the elbow angle, you can quickly remove the “Lock” and “Key” pieces, set the new angle and then lock it back in place.

The Luna detachable screen locks into place on the camera rig handle using the same locking pin system on the main Luna gimbal body. It stays secure until you use the 2 red side buttons to release it.

Multi-Angle camera rigs are very helpful for getting low angle shots and other cinematic movement plus the location of the detachable screen mount makes it much easier to monitor your footage from a comfortable angle.

I hope this model is helpful for those of you using your Luna for cinematic shots or in scenarios where it’s helpful to maintain the Luna at specific angles.

I just got the camera in June and thought a local wrestling show was a good way to test the camera performance in low light, along with their zoom capabilities. I also tested the auto editing here.

P.s. Dont wanna get into trouble for self-promotion by linking it to my socials, so I uploaded the video here. Let me know if linking is OK.

These strange image artifacts occur at 6x and 12x zoom with standard settings in 4K 30 fps. Do you experience the same?

I am trying to find the cleanest gain settings for an Insta360 Mic Pro connected to a Sony a6700 through the 3.5 mm input.

The recording is for an indoor talking-head video in a normal untreated room. The HVAC may be running, so the room is not completely quiet.

Current Mic Pro settings:

• Cardioid
• Weak noise cancellation
• Low cut on
• TX gain: 0 dB
• RX gain currently being tested
• Auto gain off
• Receiver connected directly to the Sony a6700

Am mainly trying to determine the best balance between:

1. The Sony’s Audio Rec Level
2. The Mic Pro receiver’s RX gain

Tested several combinations. Sony Audio Rec Level 1 and 5 were extremely quiet when the receiver was at 0 dB. The current combination of Sony level 6 and Mic Pro RX +9 dB is better, but am still trying to determine whether this is the cleanest setup or whether another combination would produce less hiss and a healthier recording level.

For anyone using this exact combination:

• What Sony Audio Rec Level do you use?
• What RX gain do you use on the Insta360 Mic Pro?
• Where do your normal speaking peaks land on the Sony meter?
• Have you found that raising the Mic Pro receiver output and keeping the Sony input low produces less hiss?
• Do Weak noise cancellation & Low Cut work well for indoor dialogue or do you prefer different settings?

Especially interested in settings people have tested with the Sony a6700 and Insta360 Mic Pro specifically, rather than general wireless-microphone recommendations. Thanks.

Does anyone here use the Insta360 Mic Pro with the Sony a6700 for indoor talking head videos? What volume did you set your Sony internally? Insta360 recommends level 5 for a6700 but when I used it, the recorded volume was not good with the Mic Pro. I adjusted the db to about 9 and still not good.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what would work best in terms of the volume levels on the a6700 and the db setting on Mic Pro, using it with Cardiod mode weak noise cancellation?

So I have a busted lens on my x3 have a bunch of batteries and just stumbled upon this on the top of my Google search is this legit?????

I just updated the Insta360 app (iOS), connected to my Luna Ultra through the app, and the newest firmware just popped up.

I was previously on the notorious beta that had a lot of issues (v1.0.214). Everyone had different problems, but for me I was seeing really bad color shifts in the shadows and graininess when zooming, focusing issues on the 3x lens, poor touchscreen remote connection when decoupled from the Luna, and reduced effectiveness for Deep Tracking. The i-Log recovery was clutch though, and I also really loved the much improved spacing for Smart Framing (when you pick a single composition point on the 3x3 grid for tracking subjects).

This newest firmware seems to fix all of the issues I experienced on the beta while keeping the things I loved about the beta, and feels much more polished and clean, but I'm curious what others have to say.

Side note: I've really enjoyed making 360° panos with the Ultra and think it's underrated.

This flashing happens when camera is at 6x optical zoom with I-log on. It’s like the color correction keeps turning itself off and on. Even 5.9x fixes it.

It also cannot focus at all. Even when you tap to drag on a subject.

This doesn’t happen with standard color active just i-log

I’m picking up an X5 for my motorcycle to replace a GoPro. From reading here, I guess a frame would be a good idea. The one I found on the insta site has a 1/4 inch mount, which I’m sure would work fine with their U Mount.

I have a bunch of GoPro “finger” mounts though; is there a good X5 frame with finger mounts?

Thanks

So far, my workflow has been: record in I-Log, use the correct ND filters, then post-edit for color grading — first applying the best available LUT, followed by minor adjustments.

I hadn’t realized until yesterday that while recording in I-Log, you can also apply one of the built-in Leica filters simultaneously. So far, I like the “Natural” filter best. Having tried this for the first time yesterday, I was once again impressed — first with the immediate “pop” visible on the LCD preview, while still knowing I’ll need to apply a LUT and minor adjustments in post.

Do you have any thoughts on this as an ongoing best practice, and any suggestions for further refining the setup? I should also mention I’m recording in 4K-60fps.

Thanks

I know it’s a long shot but I lost an X5 while fishing in the Bighorn Mountains. I’d love to get it back if a kind good hearted soul found it.

Pour ceux qui se posent la question de l'étanchéité de la caméra Insta360 X5, c est clair et net, elle n'est pas étanche.

Peut etre que si elle tombe dans une flaque d'eau, elle ne risque rien.

Mais la mienne est morte apres 5 min de baignade en mer à moins de 2 mètres de profondeur.

Je l'ai acheté le 26 juin, et elle est décédée le 19 juillet, donc 24 jours après.

Vue son prix, je suis dégoutée.

Heureusement que c'était la veille de mon retour de vacances. Du coup je n'en ai plus eu besoin pour ces vacances la.

Par contre je trouve ca d****** de dire comme argument de vente qu'elle est etanche jusqu'à 15m. C'est de la publicité mensongère. Ou alors c'est la mienne qui etait défectueuse.

J'ai deja contacté le service client, j'ai eu comme conseil de la mettre dans une boite avec du riz. Étrange si elle est étanche, j'ai l'impression que je ne suis pas la première à les contacter avec ce problème.

Si aucun changement, je les recontacte demain pour leur demander le remplacement de celle ci. Ce qui me rassurer er sur la marque et le produit. Par contre elle n'ira plus dans l'eau, et même avec le caisson, je suis pas sûr que ce soit sans risque.
