Insta360 X3

The Insta360 ski pole mount is awesome. I have had an X3 for a couple of years and ordered an X5 on Black Friday. But it is more for piste skiing, not off-piste. Off-piste you need a head/chest mount. I wouldn't use a non-360 camera for any sort of POV footage now, the ability to reframe it is gold. The follow-cam footage and pieces to camera in these reviews are shot with an Ace Pro and the POV is all X3. Looking forward to testing out the X5.

I have an Ace Pro, X3 and just got an X5. Remember that the X5 resolution is spread out over the entire sphere so you’re nowhere near 4k if you crop your field to a typical 16:9 action cam focal length/POV. So it’s horses for courses, if you want a conventional hi res camera, Ace Pro 2 is the right tool, but if you want an infinitely reframe-able, stabilised view then X5 is amazing

I just got an Insta 360 X3 and in the future to get better footage I’m going to buy some [shot poles](https://shotpoles.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor-SCwEBmZXxHaP5b7DaIvQDhUELERJnHPtd7vfEoYrFTkywzjo) that might be your solution if you’re down to spend $150 on poles

A 360 is cool too. I use the Insta360 X3. I’m intrigued by the new DJI 360 though. I’m a big an of DJI stuff. Just works well.

Agree regarding the lenses. I keep the covers on my X3 and use it for specialty shots and then the Osmo4 for most stuff, which does have a replaceable lens. …and when stuff happens, I add it to the pile of smashed action cameras and gimbals:)

Was about to post the same: Buy a used X3. X3 footage is still pretty spectacular with the right settings.

I got an insta360x3 it's not a pov camera i just clip it to a wall much better than wearing a camera I think
