Get X5 here: https://bit.ly/HughHou-Insta360X5 🐕💨 Is the Insta360 X5 really worth the upgrade? In this detailed, no-sponsor, real-world review, Kimchi and I test the Insta360 X5 against the Insta360 X4, Qoocam 3 Ultra, Insta360 One RS 1-inch 360, GoPro Max and even an iPhone 16 Pro Max to see if the X5’s image quality, stabilization, low-light performance, and features justify the price. We tested everything—tracking fast baseball action at Dodger Stadium, filming in extreme low-light rave conditions with lasers and fog machines, drone flights for 360 aerial video, battery and overheating tests, and more. You’ll see side-by-side footage, honest findings, and hidden issues most influencers won’t mention. 0:00 – Introduction 2:04 – Image Quality Comparison (X5 vs X4 vs Qoocam 3 Ultra vs iPhone 16 Pro) 6:29 – HDR Test – Is Insta360’s HDR actually HDR? 9:10 – Overheating & Battery Life Test – X5 vs Qoocam 3 Ultra in heat 11:14 – Low-Light Comparison – Studio, street, and concert testing 13:31 – PureVideo in a Rave – Lasers, fog machines, and chaotic lighting 16:54 – Stabilization Showdown – Drone, fast motion, and horizon lock 19:14 – Stitching Quality – Fusion angle, close-up objects, and horizon fixes 20:26 – 360 Photo Test – 72MP vs 96MP 21:28 – InstaFrame 22:21 – Bullet Time Test – Has anything actually improved? 23:00 – Design Changes 24:13 – Audio Test – New steel mesh wind guard vs ambient noise 26:08 – Lens Replacement Kit – Anti-scratch glass and field repairs 29:43 – Software Update Review – New features in Insta360 Studio 31:44 – 360 Video Editing for Vision Pro – Immersive video export made easy 32:33 – Final Verdict – The truth behind the hype Affiliated links (aka: Kimchi gets a treat 🐶) 🔗 Buy the Insta360 X5 (free lens replacement kit included): https://bit.ly/HughHou-Insta360X5 This is an affiliate link, which helps support the channel (and feeds my Shiba).
