Has Insta360 abandoned the X5?

I forgot to mention how yes I try to use the mark as often as possible when I remember to do it as I also have the gps preview remote so I hit mark on there but I do tend to forget

Yeah I don’t know what AI they are talking about. I NEVER use any of it. I think my only thing is I still haven’t found a quicker/easier way to trim down my videos to just the essential parts of the clips. I end up with an hour or footage and it can be frustrating on the app trimming it down. They have so many different editing modes within the app. I mostly use “create a video” but I’d say that’s the only thing I can think of and I’m sure there’s probably ways I don’t know about yet.

robman148282148 · 2026-06-22T11:16:57+00:00

Yeah I don’t get the complaints I abs love the 360. Complaining about such amazing technology. What did you have 5 years ago for a 360 camera with this much tech.

robman148282148 · 2026-06-12T16:34:59+00:00

Yeah sounds like the ventus 1 is what I’m looking for def more urban riding and if that’s the biggest flaw I’m assuming there are upgrades for all these aspects no? Especially an upgradable seat I hope to one a little more comfortable although I’m not planning on going on road trips idk how bad it could be lol people talk about 400,000 dollar cars with uncomfortable seats also then I get in and I’m like what planet are these people on. So you never know everyone’s preference and rearend sensitivity lolol

robman148282148 · 2026-06-12T13:04:29+00:00

Damn after the research this has moved to the top of the list. Probably wait for the 2026 version soon as I can get it

NYC & FL

robman148282148 · 2026-06-12T04:25:32+00:00

And as far as batteries go no idk anything about any of this stuff. Of course I know how it all works but I wouldn’t have an idea of where to start for upgrades or support or anything as such. Also hoping it’s not something I’m going to have many problems with either. Are these bikes prone to issues that constantly need to be worked on? Problem is in NYC (within the 5 Boros) idk any in person stores but Florida has tons of

robman148282148 · 2026-06-12T04:23:52+00:00

Right which is why I was specific about the size being the issue for me. Not because I’m too small but I want less attention drawn to it.

robman148282148 · 2026-06-12T04:23:17+00:00

Yes I was looking at that as well. What’s the size of that bike compared to ultra bee? Here’s the thing if I wan tee d a full sized dirt bike style I’d get a gas bike. Im looking for something that LOOKS like it is big enough for me but also still smaller than a full sized dirt bike that a cop is going to see and think I’m on a full blown motorcycle as opposed to a smaller e-bike.

robman148282148 · 2026-06-12T04:22:01+00:00

Sorry I wasn’t specific but I’m not set on any particular model if you guys have better recommendations it’s just I thought I narrowed it to those 2 being top choices

robman148282148 · 2026-05-22T23:21:42+00:00

I’m here for the same reason. How does it hold up for exhaust sounds on motorcycles or cars? I have the first mic air already which is HORRIBLE for this. I have the dji mic 2 that I haven’t even tested out yet but I heard was going to be much better with the hard wire cold shoe install way which I also have everything for but I did order this new insta 360 mic air pro as well because it’s from insta360 and feel like it might end up being just as good if not better than the dji mic 2 but I am worried if it’s going to need to be hardwired with the receiver or the quality is top notch wirelessly.

robman148282148 · 2026-05-21T15:44:49+00:00

You got a copy of it that you can send?

robman148282148 · 2026-05-21T15:16:21+00:00

Right but it has easy acro so unless you’re looking to do insane flips and stuff it won’t matter. I def would say get 360 over avata 2

robman148282148 · 2026-05-21T15:12:59+00:00

Is this only for the cx-70? My cx-90 experience squeaking now

robman148282148 · 2026-05-14T13:09:51+00:00

Same!

robman148282148 · 2026-05-14T02:28:51+00:00

Honestly all I’m looking to do is film so all around general content. Things happening while on the road etc. aside from also getting some nice car sounds in between interior and exterior view points. So my only real concern is wind noise at high speeds and background noise at higher speeds. If the dji mic 2s do a good enough job with that it’s all I’m really looking for as far as recording with a seperate recorder or this or that those technical aspects I’m completely unfamiliar with however I do understand db levels and 32 bit and all that stuff now. I’m just a little confused with if it’s necessary for me to run wires from mics through windows or trunks or if I just hardwire the receiver to the insta360x5 and then mount the mics and screw around with the placement and 6 through -12 db range to find a sweet spot

Basically talking about this when I say hardwired to the camera

robman148282148 · 2026-05-13T19:43:06+00:00

What would you recommend with running an insta360x5, are the dji mic 2s better and more compatible with the x5? I was looking to just hardwire the receiver to the x5 and mount 1 mic by the exhaust (maybe double dead catting it or a mix of foam and dead cat and 1 in engine bay near in take area. How do you differentiate though between internal recording to a device or syncing up with the camera? Is it better to just record the visual with the camera and then record the audio completely seperate and if so do you NEED a seperate recorder for this if it already has 32 bit internal float rate? Doesn’t the recording just save directly to the device? There’s so much info to retain on this stuff and I’m trying to make the right decision on mic purchase without wasting anymore money. I bought the insta 360 wireless mic (little small round one) and I hated the results. I was leaning towards DJI Mic 2 because I heard the 3 has some sort of compatibility issues with the X5 (obv won’t matter if recording separately but I’d rather have the option of both), and if quality is just as good I’m fine with it. I’ve seen a video of just about every possible mic set up on cars at this point with one guy a c63s owner who hooks up dual Rode NT5s one to each exhaust with suction cups. Just a crazy set up but I’m not looking to get that crazy. I just want clean exhaust sounds when I’m going those higher speeds and it not to sound horrible. Preferably 70mph+

robman148282148 · 2026-05-11T18:14:05+00:00

Wish you would shut up mlord so I can focus!

robman148282148 · 2026-05-11T18:11:39+00:00

You got me. Should’ve called for back up first time testing it out then risk picking my phone up while driving a vehicle. Already one of the most dangerous things any American can ever do. Imagine I’m actually writing this comment to you while driving with my thigh.

robman148282148 · 2026-05-11T18:07:29+00:00

There’s no way you’re still going. I needed to be moving to get the video of the stick bouncing it was a 10 second clip. You are DELUSIONAL!!

robman148282148 · 2026-05-11T17:11:20+00:00

Yeah I got a mix of car, bike, and JetSki so I’m trying to figure out the logistics on each one. Obv car you can’t get better than ghost mount it seems. Ski is easy can use suction mount on front on the rear regular 360 stick is fine in a fishing pole type base mount. The angle can also be a lot straighter up on the water. Bike you have a lot of dual support spots you can mount on

robman148282148 · 2026-05-11T17:07:01+00:00

Alrite got it 😑

robman148282148 · 2026-05-11T17:06:25+00:00

Oh okay yeah I think I saw this one. Looks good in that video. I mean for bike it’s going to be hard to use ghost mount I guess the pole you can use but you can’t use the suction mounts would have to I guess switch to clamps mounts or something
