The 4K panoramic shooting function was launched in April last year, which brought more seamless 8K panoramic shooting and significantly increased shooting time.Panoramic camera Insta360 X4Afterwards, Insta360 quickly updated its successor model Insta360 X5 with a new dynamic tracking mode, and also further updated the Insta360 App interface to make it easier for users to edit panoramic video content.
The appearance of Insta360 X5 is somewhat similar to the previous generation model. The front and rear fisheye lenses can also be equipped with additional lenses. This time, a design that allows manual replacement of bare lens lenses has been added, allowing users to replace damaged lenses by themselves without having to send them for repair.
As for the camera's photosensitive element, it has been replaced with a 1/1.28-inch specification, allowing 8K quality images to be shot with higher brightness. With the new Pureview recording mode, the brightness of Insta360 X5's night scene shooting can be further improved. In sports mode, 5.7K 60fps HDR video can be shot, and more image details can be retained in backlit or strong light conditions.
而相機本身也維持搭載方便檢視、操作的2.5吋直向觸控螢幕，並且支援IP68等級防水防塵及裸機水下15公尺防水，收音部分也能配合全新麥克風遮罩與聲音演算法減少風切、提高清晰度，2400mAH電池電量則可對應長達180分鐘的錄影續航時間，錄製8K 30fps影片甚至可維持88分鐘續航時間，而20分鐘則可將電池從0%充滿至80%。
The body fixing method has also been adjusted. In addition to fixing it through the original 1/4 screw hole at the bottom, the Insta360 X5 has a new magnetic quick-release design, which makes it easier for users to fix it at a specific lens position for shooting through magnetic attraction, making the overall use more convenient.
What’s special this time is the addition of a new dynamic tracking mode “InstaFrame” (currently an exclusive feature of the Insta360 X5). Before shooting, you can choose to shoot “automatic tracking angle” or “fixed angle”. While shooting a panoramic video, you can also shoot a flat video with the front and rear lenses. This makes it easier for users to record more shooting materials and allow greater creative flexibility for subsequent editing.
In addition, the main update of the Insta360 App is to adjust the thumbnails originally presented through the frame to a normal perspective, and automatically capture the main subjects or objects in the video, so that users can quickly determine whether the video is usable when reviewing. Other features also include more intuitive adjustment of the distance of the first-person perspective video, or elimination of edge distortion, and you can even quickly set the video to be viewed mainly from the front perspective or selfie angle. In addition, artificial intelligence can also automatically select the best viewing angle.
Other parts also further adjust the video editing interface and allow users to quickly edit videos by setting key screens, or long press the video in the viewing interface to quickly download it to the phone for storage. When viewing a single video, long press it to set it as a favorite video.
In terms of the suggested retail price, the Insta360 X5 will be sold at US$549.99 and will be available on the market from now on. The suggested retail price in the Taiwan market is NT$19490.
