Insta360 Presents
X6
The most anticipated 360° camera of the decade drops on August 12th. We've seen the specs. We've lost sleep over the specs. You need this camera.
Normal Cameras Are So 2010
You're still cropping your GoPro footage while we're over here capturing everything in every direction simultaneously. No judgment. (A little judgment.)
Capture Everything
360° means zero missed moments. Even that embarrassing thing you did — it's on camera. You've been warned.
Edit After the Fact
Choose your angle in post. It's like time travel but for cinematography. And less paradoxes.
AI Powered
Insta360's AI literally edits your footage automatically. Your camera is smarter than most interns now.
Waterproof & Tough
Drop it in the ocean. Strap it to a helmet. Throw it at your brother. (We didn't say that.)
Phone Integration
Edit on your phone in minutes. Share to Instagram before you've even dried off. Peak content creation.
Cinematic Results
Look like a professional filmmaker. Be a person who just figured out which button to press. Win-win.
Top Insta360 Picks
Our top 3 cameras right now. We tested them. We dropped them. We cried. Then we reviewed them honestly.
The current king of 360 cameras. 8K video. FlowState stabilization. Invisible selfie stick tech. It makes everyone look like Spielberg.
8K 360 at a price that won't make you question your life choices. The sweet spot between "wow" and "I can still afford groceries."
A 1-inch sensor in a 360 camera. This is not a joke. Leica co-engineered optics. Your vacation photos will shame professional photographers.
Fresh Takes
Hot off the 360° press. No fluff. Mostly.
Spoiler: it survived. Our nerves did not. Full teardown review inside including the part where Charles panicked for 45 seconds.

We tried on 6 pairs of AI-powered smart glasses so you could decide whether to look futuristic or ridiculous. (Hint: it's both.)

We've done the research. We've watched the YouTube videos. We've argued internally for 3 hours. Here's what to buy.

All Cameras
Everything Insta360 makes, ranked by how much we love it. (We love all of them. That's the problem.)
The 2025 flagship. 8K 360 video, AI-powered editing, 4.5m waterproof, 135-min battery. The camera that makes excuses impossible.

- AI Highlight reel
- 4.5m waterproof (no case needed)
Last year's flagship is this year's bargain. Still 8K. Still waterproof. Still embarrassingly good. Wallet stays happy.

- 135-min battery life
- 10m waterproof

A 1-inch Leica sensor in a 360 camera. This is ridiculous. We mean that as a compliment. Photographers weep.
- 1-inch Leica sensor
- 6K 360° video

The world's smallest action camera that actually matters. Clip it to anything. Forget it's there. Get incredible footage. Magic.

- 170-min battery (case)

The camera that got millions of people addicted to 360. Still excellent. Now affordable enough to justify without a PowerPoint to your spouse.

A gimbal stabilizer for your phone. Technically not a 360 camera. But it's so good we put it here anyway. Fight us.

- AI tracking + auto-follow
- 360° rotation
- Foldable + tripod built-in
- Works with any phone
AI Smart Glasses
You thought 360 cameras were wild? Try walking around with a computer on your face. Socially awkward? Absolutely. Cool? Impossibly so.
First-person 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, Meta AI built in. They look like normal sunglasses. Your secret. Your power.
- 12MP camera + 1080p video
- Meta AI voice assistant
- Touch controls on frame
- 6+ hour battery
- Multiple frame styles
Because of course Insta360 made smart glasses. 360° POV capture, AI trimming, instant social share. The crossover nobody asked for but everyone needed.
- Dual camera POV system
- AI auto-edit highlights
- Voice control
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Ultra-light frame
The original "tech bro wearing a screen on his face" device. Now actually useful in industrial settings. Fashion still TBD.
- Hands-free AR display
- 8MP camera
- Enterprise software support
- Warehouse-proof durability
- QR code + barcode scanning
Should You Buy AI Glasses?
Pros: You look like you're from the future. People wonder what you're doing. You ARE recording everything. Cons: Same as above, depending on who you ask.
Hot Takes & Real Reviews
We write about cameras, AI, events, and occasionally things that have nothing to do with cameras but felt important at the time.
Spoiler: it survived. Our nerves did not. Full teardown review including the panic, the relief, and the truly stunning footage.
Six pairs of smart glasses, one very tired reviewer, and a question that haunts us: are we the cool ones now, or the weird ones?
We've watched 200+ review videos, read 50+ articles, and argued for hours so you don't have to. You're welcome.
His name is Biscuit. He is unimpressed with technology. The footage is incredible. He remains unimpressed.
Five steps. Zero experience required. Maximum bragging rights achieved. This is the way.
Two cameras. One ring. We compare them in every situation including one that was unnecessarily dramatic.

Say Hello!
We read every message. We respond to most of them. We judge none of them. (Okay, some of them, but kindly.)
Terms & Conditions
Last updated: August 1, 2025. Yes, we actually wrote this ourselves (with some help). It's actually readable. You're welcome.
1. The Deal (Plain English Version)
Welcome to Charles360.com. By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, you can close the tab — we won't be offended. (We will be a little sad, but we'll recover.)
2. What We Are
Charles360 is an independent camera review and content website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or secretly funded by Insta360 (though if they want to send us cameras, we are absolutely available). Our reviews are our honest opinions. Our humor is our own. Our 360 obsession is very real.
3. Content Use
All content on charles360.com — articles, reviews, images, and spectacularly good puns — belongs to Charles360. You may share links, quote brief passages with credit, and generally spread the 360 gospel. You may not copy entire articles, use our content commercially, or claim our jokes as your own. We worked hard on those jokes.
4. Affiliate Links & Honest Reviews
Some links on this site may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. This never influences our reviews. We will tell you honestly if a camera is terrible even if we have an affiliate link for it. Our reputation is worth more than a small commission.
5. No Warranties
We provide information to the best of our knowledge, but camera specs change, prices fluctuate, and technology evolves faster than we can type. Always verify specs with the manufacturer before purchasing. We are not responsible if you buy a camera and it doesn't meet your expectations — but we are happy to help you figure out why.
6. Membership Terms
Memberships are billed monthly or annually as selected. You may cancel at any time. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are available within 14 days of purchase if you're genuinely unsatisfied. We'll ask what went wrong because we actually want to know.
7. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes shall be resolved in Miami-Dade County courts. (We're Miami-based. Sunshine and legal jurisdiction.)
8. Contact
Questions about these terms? Email [email protected]. We promise a real human will respond. A human who loves 360 cameras, but still a human.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2025. The short version: we don't sell your data, we don't spam you, and we think privacy is important.
1. What We Collect
When you subscribe, contact us, or become a member, we collect your name and email address. When you use our website, standard analytics (page views, general location, device type) are collected automatically. We don't collect your phone number unless you give it to us, and we don't track you across the internet like a digital shadow.
2. How We Use It
We use your email to send newsletters (if you subscribed), respond to contact inquiries, and manage membership accounts. We use analytics to understand what content is valuable to our readers. We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to third parties. Not for any amount of money. Not even for a free Insta360 X5.
3. Cookies
We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and to keep you logged in if you're a member. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work properly. These are digital cookies — we unfortunately cannot mail you the real kind.
4. Third-Party Services
We use Stripe for payment processing (your card info is handled entirely by Stripe — we never see it), Mailchimp for newsletters, and standard hosting services. Each has their own privacy policy and we encourage you to review them.
5. Your Rights
You can request to see what data we have on you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — no questions asked. Email [email protected] with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We'll handle it within 30 days.
6. Children's Privacy
This site is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information, contact us and we will remove it immediately.
