Insta360 Buying Guide: X6 vs X5 vs X4 Air, Ace Pro 2, GO Ultra and Luna
Short answer: for 360° video, the X5 is the sweet spot, the X6 is the flagship and the X4 Air is the lightest. For a classic action camera, get the Ace Pro 2. For hands-free POV clips, get the tiny GO Ultra. For vlogging with a gimbal, look at the Luna Pro or Luna Ultra.
360° cameras: X6 vs X5 vs X4 Air
| Model | Highlights | Choose it if |
| X6 | Dual 1-inch sensors, 8K at 50 fps, 2600 mAh battery | You want the best image quality |
| X5 | Waterproof 8K 360°, better low-light performance | You want the best balance of price and quality |
| X4 Air | 8K 360° at just 165 g | You want the lightest 360° camera |
All three support the invisible selfie stick effect, where the stick disappears from the shot and the video looks like it was filmed by a drone.
Action and POV cameras
- Ace Pro 2: an 8K action camera co-engineered with Leica, with a flip screen. Our bundle includes two batteries.

Gimbal cameras: Luna Pro vs Luna Ultra

Frequently asked questions
360° camera or action camera?
Choose a 360° camera if you want to capture everything and pick the angle later. Choose an action camera if you want simple, point-and-shoot footage with less editing.
Which is best for motorbike and travel videos?
The X5 or X6, because the 360° view and invisible selfie stick make third-person shots easy.
