INSTA360 X3 ACTION CAMERA
Introducing the Insta360 X3
The Insta360 X3 is an innovative new 360° action camera that aims to capture your adventures in stunning 5.7K detail and cinematic 4K clarity. Packed into a compact, durable body, the X3 combines cutting-edge stabilization with simplified touchscreen controls to let anyone shoot pro-level immersive footage.
With dual fisheye lenses, the Insta360 X3 can capture a fully spherical 360° view. This allows you to create unique content like behind-the-scenes videos, walking tours, or putting viewers right in the middle of thrilling POV action. The camera’s 5.7K resolution ensures your 360 videos retain crisp detail even when viewers pan around during playback.
When you want standard framing, the X3’s dedicated wide angle lens captures stabilized 4K video and 60MP photos. This makes the X3 just as capable as a high-end action cam for capturing adventures from hiking and biking to surfing and skiing. It’s essentially two cameras in one.
Designed for simplicity, the X3 features a touchscreen interface so you can easily monitor footage and change settings on the fly. Built-in stabilization keeps your videos smooth and level while advanced software handles the intensive 360 stitching process automatically. With a rugged, waterproof design and a suite of creative capture modes, the X3 is ready for any adventure.
From outdoor enthusiasts to travelers and content creators, the Insta360 X3 opens new possibilities for anyone to explore 360-degree video. It puts pro-level 360 capture into a portable, accessible package. So whether you want to make immersive hiking montages, walking tours of your city, or 3rd person action POV, the X3 has you covered.
Immersive 5.7K 360 Video
The Insta360 X3 captures stunningly detailed 360 video in up to 5.7K resolution at 30fps. With over 21 megapixels per frame, the 5.7K video provides an extremely sharp, high resolution view of the entire 360 environment. This high pixel count allows for crisp, immersive playback on screens and VR headsets.
The 360 video uses h.265 video encoding for efficient compression without sacrificing noticeable quality. You can capture smooth, fluid 360 footage thanks to the high 30fps frame rate. This makes the X3’s 5.7K video ideal for capturing fast action like sports, without motion blur.
Active HDR technology combines multiple exposures in 12K to retain vivid colors and details in challenging lighting. This helps prevent blowouts in bright areas and excessive grain in shadows. The X3’s 5.7K 360 capture provides an unparalleled immersive viewing experience with incredible clarity and dynamic range.
Cinematic 4K Wide-Angle Video
The Insta360 X3 can capture stunning 4K wide-angle video at up to 60fps for smooth, cinematic footage. The high 4K resolution combined with advanced image stabilization results in incredibly immersive video.
The X3 uses a 1/2″ 48MP CMOS sensor for its 4K lens, allowing it to capture crisp, detailed 4K video even in low light conditions. You can shoot 4K at standard frame rates up to 60fps, ensuring smooth, fluid video for action shots. The 4K resolution is perfect for capturing extreme sports and adventures without losing critical detail.
Insta360’s proprietary Flowstate stabilization and Horizon Lock work together to produce gimbal-like stabilization for the 4K video. These advanced electronic stabilization technologies smooth out shakes, bumps, and vibrations from your handheld footage. This results in professional-level stabilized 4K video that looks like it was filmed with a gimbal or stabilizer rig.
The combination of high 4K resolution, fast frame rates, excellent low-light performance and gimbal-like stabilization makes the Insta360 X3 a top choice for cinematic-quality 4K action cam footage. Whether you’re mountain biking down a trail or filming your vacation at the beach, the X3 produces stunningly smooth, detailed 4K video perfect for sharing and reliving your adventures.
Advanced Image Stabilization
The Insta360 X3 features industry-leading stabilization technology to produce smooth, gimbal-like footage without the gimbal. FlowState stabilization uses a 6-axis gyroscope to counteract camera shake and vibration in both 360 mode and single lens mode. This results in stable video even during intense activities like mountain biking or skiing. Horizon lock keeps the horizon level even if the camera tilts at steep angles, so you don’t get that uneven horizon effect common with action cams. Users report excellent stabilization performance even during fast movements and vibrations, with no jelly effect. The combination of FlowState and horizon lock gives you confidence to capture ultra smooth, stable footage no matter how rough the action gets.
Rugged, Waterproof Design
The Insta360 X3 has a durable build quality designed to withstand rugged use cases like extreme sports and outdoor adventures. Despite its compact size, the X3 camera is drop proof and impact resistant thanks to its reinforced plastic housing.
One of the standout features of the X3 is its 33 foot (10 meter) waterproof rating. There’s no need to fuss with external cases to make the X3 waterproof. Straight out of the box, the camera can be submerged in up to 33 feet of water. This makes the X3 perfect for capturing underwater shots while swimming, snorkeling, or surfing without worrying about water damage.
The X3 also delivers excellent battery life of up to 80 minutes of continuous video recording per charge. For all day shooting sessions, the removable battery design means you can easily swap in spare batteries to keep filming nonstop. The 1630mAh battery capacity powers the camera through extended durations of outdoor use.
With its rugged build, waterproofing, and long battery life, the Insta360 X3 is built to withstand even the most intense activities and environments. You don’t have to baby this action camera – just point, shoot and let the X3 do the rest.
