Other options

Insta360 x3 for $ 270: You will have to settle 5.7K shots here, this is on a 1/2 -inch sensor, which is only 1080 pixels when it is constantly caught rectangular video format. However, you can get almost the same shape as X4, and you can use it as a 4K working camera. At this price, X3 remains an applicable option for those who want to participate in 360 videos without spending wealth.

Insta360 rupee for $ 300: Company Camera canal camera/360 hybrid camera It is another option. Video footage is not as good as other cameras in this guide, but you can switch the lens and have a motion camera in a moment, which is the main sale point. However, now that X3 and X4 can also be used as 4K movement cameras, RS is less tempting than before. However, if you like the action camera shape worker but you want to be able to shoot 360 shots as well, these RS are a great camera. The real editing and narration will be the 360 ​​lens associated with the lens of Leica, but the price of this liberation and the narration is much higher.

Gopro Max for $ 822: Max, MAX, is the entry of GOPro to the world of camera 360, which is a work camera capable of 6 thousand videos in a waterproof factor with pioneering stability in the industry. It contains all the photography you know from your GoPro, such as Hypersmooth, Timewarp, PowerPano and more. Like X4, there is one lentil status (called Hero mode), and my favorite part, MAX is compatible with most GOPro holders and accessories. The main reason because Max is not one of our best choices is that Max 2 is likely to come very soon. If you want the maximum, it is better to wait.

Qoooocam 3 Ultra for $ 599: It is not widely available, and we haven’t had the opportunity to try one, but Kandao’s Qooocam 3 ULTRA is another 8k 3660 camera that looks promising, at least on paper. The F/1.6 aperture is particularly interesting, as most of this opening is in the F/2 and above. We will update this guide when we have a chance to test Qooocam.

Cameras to avoid

Insta360 x2 for $ 230: The oldest x2 of Insta360 is different from the X3 that replaced it. Figure factor is less convenient. (The screen is small; you have to use it with a phone). He still shoots a 5.7 -kg video, but it is not well stable nor anywhere near sharp like X3 or X4. Unless you can get it at less than $ 200, X2 is not worth buying.

Insta360 One RS 1 360 Edition: Although I still love this camera and use it, it seems that it has been stopped, and there is no alternative on the horizon. X5 provides better video quality in a lighter and less fragile body, but I will miss the 1 -inch sensors that have been able to withdraw a lot of details, even if the shots excel over 6K. These are still available, but at obscene prices. You are better with X5.
