THE FUSE

Insta360 came to the action camera party later than GoPro and DJI, but the Chinese brand has been steadily taking their lunch money with cameras that have more features and cost less. The X5 came out in April of this year and is already a serious threat to the big players. It has 8K 360-degree capture and AI tools that really help with post-production work. This weekend, the model’s price dropped to its lowest point ever, from $549 to $464 during the Black Friday sales event on Amazon. That discount is important because you’re getting cutting-edge technology that would have cost twice as much just two years ago. It’s now in a body that can handle a lot of abuse and record video that looks professional right out of the camera.
