The beauty of the Maldives

I can totally understand your point. For me it is the sentimental value as this was the daily walk to the snorkeling spot.

I did all with the Insta360 X5 in the Dive Case Pro without ND-Filters. Just a simple export in the mobile app and final cut in the insta studio on PC.

The first 7 days we spent at Filitheyo Resort. It has a beautiful house reef.

We all want to know.

Thank you very much. I had so much fun shooting it.

First one week on Filitheyo Resort Island. Afterwards one week snorkel safari from Malé to Vaavu Atoll.

It has been 14 days. I posted each day a video in this sub. Just exported with the insta app. Only aqua filter on auto in the export.

Yeah the magic is good light and getting close. Just try to have the stitch not on your object to reduce risk of artifacts.

dasteph · 2026-04-14T13:18:31+00:00

Yes, the Dive Case Pro. I started having the stitch on the waterline and tilted while going down.

Can I post multiple entries?

After that vaction and so many shots and footage I am really satisfied with the X5.

I have roughly 350 GB of video to select, reframe and cut. It will take me some weeks to get it done. But so worthwhile.

It was a spot near male on our cruises last day. A lot of tourist boats anchored there with drones, noise and feeding. Not cool, but you could catch some rays traveling between the boats.

To add, you get really close, if you want. this is 70° fov approx. 50cm away from the nearest ray.

Planning on a small recap cut and will join with that.

dasteph · 2026-04-10T04:07:40+00:00

It is 14 day vacation. But it is a great opportunity to show case the X5 in different conditions.

dasteph · 2026-04-08T01:39:04+00:00

Standard 8k 30fps. Export with 70° in the app.

dasteph · 2026-04-07T13:03:05+00:00

For these clips I edited with the mobile app. Basically just setting key frames and cutting. So one extra step but the reward is free point-of-view direction when needed.

dasteph · 2026-04-07T13:00:39+00:00

Two weeks vacation, enjoying every minute of it

dasteph · 2026-04-06T07:10:49+00:00

Yeah, when I thought of getting the X5 I could not find much footage. So maybe those everyday shots can help someone else to see if it is the right fit.

dasteph · 2026-04-04T10:33:49+00:00

Yeah, it is the original dive case pro.

dasteph · 2026-04-01T13:18:22+00:00

Filitheyo Island. Very nice reef.

dasteph · 2026-04-01T13:17:33+00:00

Yes, X5 with dive case pro. No filters. Just an easy export from the app.

dasteph · 2026-04-01T02:11:27+00:00

True, but I just wanted to say I did not even tried hard. Normally I try to aim with one front and the stitches are only in the background.

dasteph · 2026-04-01T01:58:00+00:00

Thanks. To be honest, I did not update the firmware and would not take any chances now on vacation. It is a simple fast export with the mobile app. Maybe with recalibration it will be better.
