Highest score first · all converted to 0–100- 95TechRadar
Delivers the best small 360 footage in both day and night with strong waterproofing, but the steep price and buggy app temper enthusiasm.

The most technically accomplished 360 camera yet, better than the X5 in imaging, battery and waterproofing, but its high price makes the X5 the better all-rounder.

A solid flagship 360 camera with a clear image upgrade over the X5 and handy editing tools, though stitching flaws, modest storage and higher price versus rivals apply.

The Insta360 X6 is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, offering improved resolution, 10-bit recording, and a more user-friendly design.

A worthwhile step up with larger sensors, 50fps capture, 10-bit and a much better InstaFrame backup, though some features fall short.
