Insta360 announced the next iteration of its popular 360-degree action cameras that have helped the company expand its offerings. The new X6 introduces a design that’s smaller than last year’s X5 and X4 Air but with improved video capabilities thanks to an even larger pair of custom 1/1.1-inch square sensors from Sony. While last year’s models offered 8K recording at up to 30fps, the new X6 can capture 8K at up to 50fps. It also carries forward the X5’s replaceable lenses, which are now five times more scratch-resistant and 60 percent cheaper, according to the company.
The Insta360 X6 is available today in black or white through the company’s online store and other retailers starting at $699.99, which is $150 more expensive than last year’s $549.99 X5. It’s also available as part of a $799.99 Essentials Bundle that adds an additional battery, an invisible selfie stick, a fast charging case, and other accessories.
