Return your camera while you still can

I purchased the Insta360 X5 and took it on vacation. I made an awesome video that I was very happy with — and then the problems started. The finished video would not export to my phone. When I finally did get it to export, the audio disappeared half way through the video.

Customer service has been HORRIBLE.

They never resolved the original issue, and I have now been going back and forth with them for months. I have footage from a second family vacation that I haven’t even bothered turning into a video because I’m not willing to spend hours editing something when I have zero confidence it will export.

Their support team has ignored requests, missed multiple deadlines that THEY established, and has repeatedly failed to escalate the situation to anyone with actual decision-making authority.

My free cloud storage expired while all of this was going on. I asked them to restore or extend it so they could finish troubleshooting the problem and I could eventually create the second vacation video. That request has gone unresolved as well. I refuse to pay for cloud storage when the company has not even demonstrated that its software works.

The camera itself is impressive, which makes this even more annoying. But a great camera is not worth much if the software fails and the company will not support its product.

After months of chasing Insta360 for a resolution, I would strongly recommend thinking twice before buying anything from them. If you did, return it while you still can.

カメラとして使いたい/バージョンアップで機能ダウン

2026/10/09
2つ前のバージョンからリモート接続してもリモート側に画面が出てこなくなった、どんどん不便になる。
上下左右移動を諦めて固定カメラでFinalcutとかBlackmagicの方が便利。
初期のバージョンに戻して欲しい

2026/09
起動すると広告画面が出てきたり、余計なワンクッションが入って「今すぐ取りたい!」に対応できない。カメラ機能がおまけの映像画像SNSアプリとなっている。
純粋にFlow2proのカメラアプリとして利用したい。すぐ起動して撮影に取りかかれないのは撮影アプリではない。

以下は前回レビュー。まだ解決していない。
Flow2Proで使用してます。2.27.1のバージョンにアップしたら、今までの設定が全部リセットされた。以前から左右追尾で被写体を見失うと左右に振れ幅が1度2度4度8度16度32度と行った感じで左右にブンブン首を振る現象があったが、バージョンアップ前と比べて、追尾性能が格段に下がり、正面2mの被写体が左右にゆらゆら揺れるだけで前述の挙動にすぐなってしまい、全く使えないものになってしまった。
プロフレーミンググリッドでテンキー8の位置を設定しても、だんだん7や9になってしまいフレームアウトしてしまう、これもバージョンアップしてこうなってしまい使い物にならない。
あとプロフレーミンググリッドは以前からダメな仕様として、縦でテンキー8に合わしたあと、右ダブルクリックでスマホを横にした時、縦の位置の8のままなので、横だと4の位置となり、上ではなく左を指定してしまう。全く使えない。「現在の画面の向きでどこに合わせている」という仕様にして欲しい

Super frustrating.

I have so many issues with this app….

As someone trying to edit longer form 360 video it’s such a pain to have the app crash every 10 minutes ruining my workflow and losing a clips worth of progress.

Also, key frames frequently don’t keep the correct frame and I find myself dealing with unwanted zooming. Many times after exporting I discover that certain clips did not retain the manual reframing I’ve done to them or randomly zoom the pov in all the way from a wide view to something as narrow as <90°. Causing me to have to go back and fix parts of the video and then re export. I also agree with many other reviewers that the app can’t decide what it wants to be.

The snapshot feature to take screenshots from clips rarely works and gets stuck in the exporting process. I’ve had to rely on other apps to take quality screenshots for thumbnails.

When viewing a clip from my downloaded album, it keeps playing the audio even after backing out to the app’s homepage. This stacks with multiple clips so there are times when the audio from 2+ clips are still playing even though I’m not watching them. The only way to fix is to force quit the app and restart.

Working on an iPad Pro with hundreds of gigs worth of free storage space for the length of video I’m editing. I’ve sent an email about some of these issues without response.

Best social and editing app

Having an app which has been designed developed and structured for its users. Being able to edit, post, control cameras and also engage with tutorials to learn create and make your videos stand out is just absolutely essential

Simply Excellent

Terrible app, keeps freezing lagging and crashing when editing videos. So you have to start the whole process again

Insta360

원격제어 기능 갑자기 안됨

아이폰 업데이트 후 원격제어 기능이 갑자기 안되고 있습니다. 기기의 문제인지, 업데이트랑 관련이 있는지는 확실치는 않습니다. 여러차례 재부팅해봐도 안되서

Cant activate 360 ace pro 2. The instruction is in Chinese and i don’t understand

So complicated to activate. Ace pro 2 I will return. This tomorrow , not worth it. And it is disappointing !

软件体积太大了

怎么把社区、商城和设备素材编辑功能强行绑定在一个软件里的?你们的软件产品经理真的觉得这个很好吗?我要是在购买前知道你们的软件设计如此糟糕,我肯定退了买大疆。

Bad Memory Management

When you delete 360 videos, it does not free up the respective memory space. I had 16GB of downloaded videos inside the app. When I deleted them, the phone storage still shows 16GB of data for this app. I had to delete the app and reinstall to actually clear the data. Deleting items somehow does not delete from phone and there is no option in the settings to see how and where the items are still stored after deleting.

Struggles to export in batches

Unfortunately the app struggles with WiFi exports from multiple of my insta 360 cameras when exporting batches of media, which is the only feature I needed the app to follow through with.

Great when it works

Awesome app when it works however almost every time I go to record a clip it kicks me out of the app.

Late updates

I’m not sure what’s happened in the past few months but the tracking has gone way down hill. Never had an issue for years but now it’s terrible. I confirmed this with several others that use this app. Not just people in my circle. Please fix the tracking and/or late arrival updates

Fantastic

Easy to use, quick loading, love it!

Great but

Literally crashes all the time. Lose progress on your edits that took hours. Very frustrating

2.56gb updates and the remote still won’t connect

The app developer is so concerned with gimmicky functions and creating massive updates but their own “expensive” remote display will no longer connect. Update after update I continue to grab my go pro because it actually works

The camera, remote and app forever have connectivity issue and with the security concerns I do not use the app. I generally delete after checking to see if the latest update resolves my connectivity issue and delete it after being disappointed.

If you like gimmicky photoshop features baked in because you don’t have photoshop this is probably ok but the paid you tubers are lot telling you the whole truth

Ads

Haven't had much time to go through the app but there are way too many ads for something I paid a lot of money for.
