(Affiliate) https://www.insta360.com/sal/x5?utm_term=INR1MFV Is the Insta360 X3 STILL Worth It in 2025? 🀯 My First 360 Camera Review + X3 vs X5 Comparison! After heaps of research, I finally picked up my first-ever 360 camera β€” the Insta360 X3 β€” in 2025. But with the Insta360 X5 and X4 already on the market, you might be wondering: ❓Why would anyone still choose the X3 in 2025? ❓What makes it better (or worse) than the X5? ❓Is it still the best 360 camera for beginners this year? In this video, I give you the full story β€” from why I personally chose the X3, to everything I’ve liked and disliked about it since using it in real-world conditions. Whether you're looking for your first 360 camera or you're stuck choosing between the X3 vs X5, this video will help you make the right call. πŸ” What You'll Learn in This Video: βœ”οΈ Why I didn’t go for the Insta360 X5 or X4 βœ”οΈ The pros of the X3 that still hold up in 2025 βœ”οΈ What I don’t like about the X3 (no sugarcoating) βœ”οΈ My thoughts on the upgrades in the X5 β€” and whether they actually matter βœ”οΈ My final verdict: Should YOU still buy the Insta360 X3 this year? This is the perfect video for anyone considering their first 360 cam, or anyone wondering if the X3 is still relevant in 2025. I share my real experiences and help you decide if the newer models are really worth the extra money β€” or if the X3 is still the best value 360 camera out there. links to all the products Ulanzi adapter for X3 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CR1G2B5Q?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0 Insta 360 X3 (best price I could find) https://www.digidirect.com.au/open-box-insta360-x3 Insta 360 2 in 1 tripod selfie stick https://store.insta360.com/product/invisible_selfie_stick_tripod?c=1246&from=search-results Insta 360 x3 case (third party) https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG1XPBR1/ref=pe_65466462_585368832_fb_remail%5Fprodpg?th=1 links to gear I used to film this vid DJI Osmo Action 4 https://store.dji.com/au/product/osmo-action-4?vid=144651&_gl=1%2A1jz8huf%2A_up%2AMQ..%2A_gs%2AMQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-NfDBhDyARIsAD-ILeAP6nLgs8GO_JM1VkXCml5N2DxAJLzJSBZjvNfdSHmB7wgT7sX-znsaAtuuEALw_wcB&gbraid=0AAAAADO_H_f7sSEGtoXFmIyuDM5VAUw_a DJI Mic Mini https://store.dji.com/au/product/dji-mic-mini?vid=177861&_gl=1%2A1jz8huf%2A_up%2AMQ..%2A_gs%2AMQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-NfDBhDyARIsAD-ILeAP6nLgs8GO_JM1VkXCml5N2DxAJLzJSBZjvNfdSHmB7wgT7sX-znsaAtuuEALw_wcB&gbraid=0AAAAADO_H_f7sSEGtoXFmIyuDM5VAUw_a DJI Osmo Action GPS Remote https://store.dji.com/au/product/osmo-action-gps-bluetooth-remote-controller?_gl=1%2Ay2wn5h%2A_up%2AMQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-NfDBhDyARIsAD-ILeAP6nLgs8GO_JM1VkXCml5N2DxAJLzJSBZjvNfdSHmB7wgT7sX-znsaAtuuEALw_wcB&gbraid=0AAAAADO_H_f7sSEGtoXFmIyuDM5VAUw_a&vid=144561 🎬 Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro (First 360 camera excitement!) 0:02:04 - Why I chose X3 over X5 0:09:26 - Insta 360 X3 Pros & Cons 0:10:19 - DJI accessories compatibility 0:13:00 - Voice control 0:14:10 - Conclusion 0:14:33 Outro thanks for watching πŸŽ’ Gear I Used in This Video: πŸ“Έ Main Cam: DJI Osmo Action 4 🎀 Audio: DJI Mic Mini πŸ“± Edited With: Insta360 Studio, Insta360 App, and CapCut πŸ“ Filmed in South Australia 🎯 Who This Video Is For: First-time 360 camera buyers in 2025 Creators choosing between the Insta360 X3 and X5 Vloggers, travelers & action sports fans Anyone on a budget looking for a powerful but simple 360 cam πŸ‘€ Stay tuned β€” I’ve got a full cinematic coming up with the Insta360 X3 + drone footage!
