Marking the tenth anniversary of the Nano, Insta360’s first foray into 360 photography with a clip-on 360 camera for the iPhone, the company is today announcing the new Insta360 X6. 

Described by Insta360 as ‘the Biggest Leap in 360 Capture Yet’, the Insta360 X6 is designed for film makers of all levels. 

Using large 1/1.1” custom Square Sensors co-developed with Sony, the Insta360 X6 is designed to work in all light levels to produce clean, crisp shots. The X6 includes a Triple AI Chip System which uses two dedicated imaging processors and Qualcomm’s flagship 8-core 3.3GHz 4nm chip to drastically reduce image noise in low-light shots with dual ambient light sensors cutting out flicker and adjusts dynamic range for each sensor. 

The cameras support native in-camera Dolby Vision and 10-Bit Colour Depth, a first for 360 Cameras offering more accurate colour reproduction.

The compact body comes in two colour options: Black, or White, and include a 2.32” OLED Screen with contols for power and capture on the side. The body is waterproof up to 20m, letting you take it on your next acquatic adventure with peace of mind. There’s 64GB of on-board storage

the camera supports three shooting modes, 360 recording, unlimited gimbal camera, and wide-angle action shooting offering a versatile camera for different shooting needs. 

The 360 Mode captures in 8K50fps, letting you reframe the shots in post-production to make sure you get the best out of your shots, or use the InstaFrame 2.0 smart tracking, which has been rebuilt from the ground up, intelligently locking onto people, pets or objects at high quality 4K30fps flat video. 

The camera can also operate in single-lens mode like a traditional action camera, capturing at up to 5K60fps – or in wide-angle up to 170 degrees at 5K30fps, or with Slow Motion at 4K120fps.

The X6 is also the launch of Insta360’s self-developed 360 AI model, PanoMind. which will help you with a new set of auto-editing features, including 

  • AI Director – The all-new AI Director allows the X6 to automatically analyse footage, filter highlights, and edit custom daily vlogs while idling charging. Once the finished clip is complete, it will be pushed directly to the Insta360 App. Have extra edits? No worries. Secondary editing can be completed at any time.
  • Auto Edit 2.0 – With PanoMind’s improved output, Auto Edit 2.0 sees more accurate highlight recognition and more natural movement, simply select footage and click Auto Edit – then sit back and relax.
  • Moments Pro – Acting as an accurate personal editor, the all-new AI powered model deeply integrates Google Gemini cognitive model and Insta360’s exclusive 360 imaging algorithm to create custom stylised finished clips by selecting keywords. This is a new-generation smart camera experience that brings the creative barrier to image making to almost zero.

You can order the X6 from tomorrow, August 13 in Australia through the Insta360 Official Store as well as Amazon, and select retailers. The X6 will start in a ‘Standard Bundle’ from $1049.99 AUD, or you can jump into the Essentials Bundle at AU$1159.99 which includes one year of Insta360+ Premium cloud storage at 500GB, plus a three months of Moments Pro which gives you two clips per month at no extra cost.
