Next to the card slot is a detail I was pleased to see - a standard 1/4-inch tripod thread. There’s a Micro USB port on one side, battery door on the other, and a MicroSD card slot on the bottom. Two buttons are all it takes to change settings and shoot pictures or videos, with a small LCD screen displaying the current mode. The One X is a sleek, tall, black camera body almost monolithic in appearance save for the obvious dual lenses near the top. It still feels like a novelty, but so long as you’re aware of that going in, it’s worth your time to come back from intermission. I’m not convinced this is the camera that will lead us to a climactic finale, but it combines a good collection of the best features available in 360 today. The One X is its most advanced consumer model and, to Insta360’s credit, one of the more refined 360 cameras on the market, both in hardware and software.

It makes a variety of 360-degree products, from bulky professional rigs to tiny smartphone attachments. Insta360 is one company that believes it can reverse this trend and give immersive imaging the triumphant second act it needs. Even the pretty impressive GoPro Fusion, which cost $700 when we reviewed it last year, recently went on sale for $299.
Such was the fate of the pioneering Samsung Gear 360. Time and time again, we’ve seen new 360 cameras release with much fanfare, then cut prices by hundreds of dollars just months after launch. 360-degree imaging promised to be the Next Big Thing in the photo/video world, but it’s a giant leap that has yet to nail the landing. This may sound like a comedy, but it’s trending toward tragedy. Image quality still isn’t ready for prime time.
