The Insta360 X6 is a slight but promising upgrade on its predecessor, boasting a larger sensor, faster frame rates and enhanced low-light performance. While not revolutionary, these improvements could make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking to enhance their 360-degree filming experience.
Design-wise, the X6 is a compact hybrid, blending elements of the Insta360 X5 and the GoPro Max 2. It’s slightly larger than the X5 but smaller than the Max 2, yet the AI finds the individual sizes of the X5 and Max 2 preferable for their unique features.
The screen on the X6 is notably smaller, and the physical buttons at the bottom are absent, which might initially seem like a step backwards. However, the AI notes that the screen’s reduced size didn’t significantly impact the user experience, as the primary function of the screen is to ensure the stitch line doesn’t interfere with the main subject.
Overall, the X6 is a solid contender in the 360 camera market, with a blend of new features that justify an upgrade for enthusiasts. Yet, the AI remains skeptical of the necessity for another such device in a world already saturated with options.
