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.

360 cameras for filming slots

I’ve been recording my canyoning trips for a few years and used GoPro, DJI and insta360. I honestly done care about brands, I just want the best tool for the job. Firstly with 360 cams vs traditional action cams. 360s are great for canyoning, they capture everything and you don’t have to worry about

Camera voor op de motor

Dashcam of actiecamera hebben beide hetzelfde probleem.Je filmt maar 1 zijde, alles achter de camera wordt niet opgenomen. Daarom zou ik zelf voor een 360 graden camera kiezen.Deze neemt alles op, en daarna kun je kiezen wat je wilt laten zien in de edit software.Deze kun je dan ergens bij de spiege

New app is BAD!!!!

I haven’t used insta360 since the X3 came out and I wasn’t super impressed by the app. Now I have the x5 and I’m kind of blown away by it. It plays back super smooth and fast, the AI reframing is surprisingly good and the tracking feature has been perfect for me so far. Which camera and phone do you

Hugh Hou: Osmo 360 vs Insta360 X5 32m unsponsored rewiev

“Unsponsored” lol. A review is unsponsored when you don’t get the camera for free before launch as an incentive to talk well about it. Anyways I’ve seen the entire video and he mostly talks about the lack of detail of insta360 compared to the dji, but he didn’t mention in which sharpness mode he use

[OC] Planning to buy DJI 360 in Dec 2025. Windows user.

regarding the DJI app for windows.. it was already improved active tracking (almost same as Insta360) the only deal breaker is there is no user replaceable lens... but before the release of insta 360 x5 we dont have that replacable lens just lens protectors... i suggest getting that as the osmo 360

Is anyone using the Insta360 app on iPad (with an X5)?

I use my iPad Pro 11” to edit my X4 footage. I use the insta360 app to reframe and edit. Then I export to photos and use LumaFusion to further edit. With the X4 (and I’m sure X5) you can plug the camera directly into the iPad via usb-c and you get to retain the use of your WiFi for internet connecti

What do you expect from future Osmo 360 Firmware Updates?

I feel like all the limitations we have against insta360 x5 are all software based, because hardware wise it's better than X5 out of the box. So in future updates it will eventually become better than the X5 as well as the editing studio

Recommendations for Reliable 180 3D and 360 VR Cameras?

What do you mean by 360 “VR”? Usually that means 360 3D, and the reference on a budget would be an Insta360 Pro2. But if your budget is under the R5C, forget about the Pro2, too. If you meant “flat” 360, no clue. I’d say Insta360 X5 has the better software and manages better the overheat, DJI Osmo t
