insta360 nailed it on the X5. If you had the X5 and bought a few replacement lenses you could swap the scratched one out and be back up in like 5-10 minutes.

can Insta360 X5 get a similar level of detail when taking the video, perhaps if spent more time on the closeups of the texture
r/TinyWhooppositive2
the auto tracking while editing the 360° video is really amazing.

I hate that I can't use the X5 out-of-the-box and that I need to activate it with an app download.

Everything else the insta360 x5 is superior. Low light, bright lights, motion, output, etc

Aprox 4 hours the entire process from rendering insta360 X5 footage into 360 video (H265)

Franchement, Insta360 X5. En plus le dernier firmware v1.7.43 est un vrai bonus.

I bought a Insta360 x5 and got a gamepad. I did return it, but it was a hassle.
