Our editorial take on the Insta360 ONE X

The Insta360 ONE X is a 5.7K 360 camera built around FlowState stabilization, which reviewers consistently describe as gimbal-level smooth. The hardware delivers fluid, level footage even while running, and its dual 200-degree lenses capture what reviewers call "impossible drone-type shots" without needing a drone. Image quality surprised testers, especially given the compact 115-gram body and $400 price point.

FlowState stabilization is the star feature here, matching or exceeding the GoPro Fusion's output according to reviews. The ONE X pairs with a capable mobile app and desktop software for editing, and the hardware itself proved reliable over extended use. Battery life clocks in at 60 minutes of continuous recording, which reviewers noted as acceptable but not exceptional. The camera supports log profiles, RAW photos, and creative modes like Bullet Time (with an accessory), giving creators flexibility in post.

Best for: Creators who want drone-style perspectives and gimbal-smooth stabilization in a compact, affordable 360 camera.
