Insta360 X5 360 Camera

The Insta360 X5 is a flagship 360 ° action camera featuring dual 1/1.28" sensors, a triple AI chip system, and a rugged, adventure-ready design that includes replaceable lenses, PureVideo low-light mode, and an ultra-hard optical film for enhanced durability.

Why this product is helpful

• Superior image quality & flexibility — you can shoot in 8K at 30 fps (or 5.7K at 60 fps) and later reframe your footage to capture the perfect angle without missing the moment.
• Tough and repairable design — built to resist drops and scratches (100 % better drop resistance than X4), with lenses that users can swap out if damaged, minimising downtime.
• Improved low-light & AI processing — PureVideo mode uses AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimisation to deliver clearer footage in challenging lighting, and the triple AI chip system helps with smooth post-processing.
• Longer battery runtime — in typical shooting conditions, you can get about 135 minutes at 5.7K30fps 360 ° before needing a swap.
• Waterproof & weather-resilient — rated to IP68 (up to 49 ft / ~15 m) without needing extra housing, making it reliable outdoors and underwater.

Classroom Ideas

• Virtual Campus Tours & Immersive Storytelling
  Students can film 360 ° tours of the school, classrooms, or local areas, then annotate or reframe scenes to guide viewers through a narrative or interactive walk-through.
• Media & Film Studies Projects
  Use the X5 for student-led short films: they can shoot a scene in 360 ° and then choose dramatic perspectives or edits in post to convey mood, focus, or alternate viewpoints.
• Science / Fieldwork Documentation
  On excursions (biology, geography, environmental science), students can capture their environment in all directions, later analysing spatial relationships or changes over time from multiple angles.
• Technology / AI & Imaging Lessons
  Examine how the camera’s AI (PureVideo, triple chip) processes imagery — compare raw vs processed footage, discuss noise reduction, dynamic range, stitching, and computational imaging.
• Drama & Performance Recording
  Record student performances in 360 °, enabling classmates or parents to “look around” the stage. Students can experiment with camera placement and framing to influence viewer perspective and immersion.
