If your life doesn't fit inside a single camera angle, the Insta360 X5 is the action cam that keeps up. It captures the school run and the summit push with the same 8K 360 clarity, letting you reframe moments into reels, POVs and ultra-wide hero shots long after you've put the camera down. It's waterproof, tough and smart enough to auto-stabilise even the wobbliest clips - so it's as at home on city strolls as it is on back-country missions. Then there's the limited BMW Motorrad Edition: everything great about the X5, wrapped in a rider-ready package. For motorcyclists who want their rides to look as good as they feel, it's an instant upgrade - yet it's still the same X5 at heart, ready for any adventure on or off the bike.

Why the Insta360 X5 Is a Game-Changer

The X5 is Insta360’s latest flagship, and it’s setting a new benchmark for immersive content creation. Here’s why:

8K 360-degree Video: Capture every angle in ultra-crisp detail with 8K30 or 5.7K60 recording. Whether you’re cruising through city streets or carving mountain passes, your footage will look nothing short of spectacular.

AI-Powered Imaging: Thanks to a Triple AI Chip system and 1/1.28" sensors, the X5 delivers exceptional clarity, even in low light. Night rides? No problem.

FlowState Stabilisation: Say goodbye to shaky footage. Insta360’s advanced stabilisation tech ensures buttery-smooth video, even on rough terrain.

Waterproof and Rugged: The X5 is waterproof up to 15 meters (49 ft) without a case. Add the Invisible Dive Case, and you’re good for 60 meters (197 ft) underwater.

This is a camera built for extremes, and everything in between.

BMW Motorrad Edition: Built for the Ride

So what makes the BMW Motorrad Edition special? It leans into the ride. Alongside the same X5 imaging hardware, you get a BMW Motorrad finish, a pocketable mini remote for quick start/stop and mode changes, a BMW-branded carry pouch to keep mounts and cables organised, the new 2800mAh Ultra Battery for longer days in the saddle, and exclusive packaging. For BMW riders, it feels less like an add-on and more like part of the bike: quick to deploy at fuel stops, tidy to stow, and built to go the distance.

Standard X5 Models: Same Power, Different Packages

Not a BMW rider? No worries. The standard Insta360 X5 offers the same core performance in multiple bundles:

Starter Kit: Perfect for beginners, includes the essentials.

Essentials Kit: Adds extra batteries and mounts for longer rides.

Standard Kit: A well-rounded package for serious creators.

Whichever you choose, you’re getting the same 8K 360-degree magic, waterproofing, and AI-driven features that make the X5 a standout.

Key Features That Set the X5 Apart

Let’s break down what makes the X5 a must-have for content creators and adventure seekers:

8K 360-degree Video

Why settle for flat, single-angle footage when you can capture everything? With 8K resolution, your videos are future-proof and ready for VR experiences.

AI-Powered Editing

The Insta360 app uses AI to auto-frame your shots, pick the best angles, and even generate highlight reels. Editing on the go has never been easier.

FlowState Stabilisation

Even on bumpy trails, your footage stays smooth and cinematic. No gimbals required.

Waterproof and Durable

From torrential rain to river crossings, the X5 is built to survive and thrive in harsh conditions.

Invisible Selfie Stick (only included with some bundles)

Create jaw-dropping third-person shots without the stick ruining your frame. It’s like having a drone that fits in your pocket.

Perfect for Riders, Creators, and Adventurers

The BMW Motorrad Edition is clearly aimed at fans of the famous motorcycle company, but the X5’s versatility makes it ideal for:

  • Travel vloggers who want immersive storytelling.
  • Action sports enthusiasts capturing every angle of the action.
  • Content creators looking for next-level production value.

Whether you’re on two wheels, four wheels, or no wheels at all, the X5 adapts to your lifestyle.

Why 360-Degree Content Is the Future

Social media platforms are increasingly favouring immersive content. 360-degree video isn’t just a gimmick - it’s a storytelling revolution.

With the X5, you can:

  • Reframe your shots after filming.
  • Create multiple edits from a single clip.
  • Engage your audience with interactive experiences.

For brands, influencers, and everyday creators, this means more creative freedom and higher engagement.
