Riding w/ Helmet Mounted Action Cam - Anyone else experienced this?

Yes, 100%! It's made a massive difference for me. I use an Insta360 X5 on a break-away mount from Ghost Drift: It is very noticeable. Just a heads up: You might get some hostility from posters in here. I've had people get upset with me and try to say it doesn't matter, drivers won't notice the camer

How to capture this perfect 360 rotation? - 360 camera or attachment on wheels of some kind?

You can get a 360 camera like the GoPro Max or the Insta360 X5 and just place it in the middle and leave it recording - then in the app you can create this perfect rotation, it comes with pre-made movement templates also.

Reccs for a good bike cam

After a near miss a few weeks back, I've been experimenting with cameras. I picked up an Insta360 X5 last week - I really like being able to capture what's happening beside me in addition to the front. I'm impressed with the image stability - it does some magic to make bumpy roads seem smooth. I'm s

Best Camera for Commuting

Cycliq is the gold standard bicycle "dash camera" I use an insta360 X5 on my front handlebars. It does OK but I block the rear view so if something happens behind me I don't see it. The quality deteriorates when things are farther away. During the summer if they cars are close I can get plates. As w

Insta360 X4 buyer’s remorse — worth keeping if it’s only for a couple big trips a year?

I bring my X5 to my local attractions with the mindset that the more i record, edit &!reframe - i learn new skills along to way leading up to my vacations / holidays. For me, it’s the process rather than the end result; 360 cam is a way for me to unwind, chill, appreciate nature and my surroundings

The next camare out is the Insta360 Luna pro, and the Luna Ultra. x6 and acepro 3 could be as late as 2027. due to AI hogging the resources.

When you live somewhere where the most exciting part of your weekend dive is a pipe

I have an old beat up Insta360 X3 in a cheap aliexpress knockoff invisible dive case haha. It has flooded a couple of times and the metal parts like to rust, so would rather recommend getting the original dive case from insta360. If you get the X5 then its regular invisible dive case should be good
