The camera's lens systems are immediately noticeable. They are made of High-strength scratch-resistant glass and is the first of its kind to be replaceable. A new standard for the industry where users can easily swap out damaged lenses on the go.

Low-light recording has been improved with the new dedicated PureVideo mode. Insta360 says that Advanced AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimisation deliver clear and vibrant footage in low light.

The X4's Active HDR has been upgraded on the X5 with the ability to record 5.7K60fps footage for smooth and high contrast scenes.

It now has a built-in wind guard and improved audio algorithm. The Wind Guard is made of a multi-layer steel mesh that silences wind noise, while the boosted algorithm offers sharp and immersive sound.
