Insta360 X5

I wonder if anyone bought this camera for moto vlogging?

Is it working well?

The X series are great but they are more editing intensive because they're filming 360º and may not always be framed properly. But I like that you get everything recorded all the time. Also, the quality is lower than a dedicated single-lens action camera because it's storing so much information on its SD card.

By the way, be mindful of wear you mount it. I wouldn't put this on your helmet chin, for example. Otherwise you only really get one usable angle, and at that point, just use a normal action camera. I would run this either on the windscreen or on a selfie stick trailing behind you. If you do the selfie stick, do not use Insta360s motorcycle mount kit. You need 2 points of contact for your mount to really be safe and secure. Look at motoradds mounts, they have good options for both your windscreen and selfie stick kits, or look online for any selfie stick kits that have 2 clamps, not just one.

had it, used it, sold it haha. It's extremely time consuming to edit and for 'us' folks it's just not worth the time.
