If you’ve been eyeing a premium 360-degree camera, now’s the perfect time — Insta360’s impressive X5 action cam has fallen to a new low price. You can grab it in black for just $499.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Best Buy through October 16th. That’s the lowest price ever for one of the best 360 cameras you can buy. You can also find the same offer directly on Insta360’s official site, where you’ll even get a free hardshell case as a bonus.

Why The Insta360 X5 Is Worth It

The Insta360 X5 builds on the company’s reputation for delivering cutting-edge 360-degree action cameras. Former Verge reviewer Vjeran Pavic praised it for its major image quality improvements over the previous X4. You can now capture 4K footage at 120fps, up from 100fps, or shoot 8K video at 30fps and 5.7K at 60fps for crystal-clear, immersive content.

Thanks to its larger 1/1.28-inch sensors and AI-powered PureVideo mode, the X5 produces sharper, more detailed visuals even in low light. The colors are cleaner, richer, and more realistic — making it ideal for action sports, travel vlogs, or cinematic footage on the go.

A Modular, Creative Upgrade

One of the biggest upgrades is the user-replaceable lens system. With the $29.99 lens kit, you can quickly swap out damaged lenses or try new perspectives without worrying about breaking your camera. This modular design gives creators more freedom and flexibility, especially for risky shots.

While it’s a little disappointing that the X5 batteries aren’t compatible with older models, the overall design remains durable, compact, and travel-friendly — ideal for content creators, athletes, and adventurers alike.
