As far as software goes, it's really smart at some things and really dumb at others. In 360 mode if you do a time-lapse it will lock its orientation of video to whatever angle you were looking in the video but no way to tell it to orient north at all times or use a focus point to hold the angle like if you want to video out the front of your car. When you turn the camera stays the same angle so you go from videoing straight forward to not staring at your fender and you have to manually adjust the entire time. Very cumbersome.

The camera comes with a small sleeve that won't fit with the lens cover (so either light protection for the whole thing, or good lens protection with nothing on the screen). I don't find I use the lens cover. The memory card is rather small and I got a larger one (so I can do a whole trip and not need to change). The extra battery is nice but not a necessity. Overall, you may wish to get it piecemeal and get the stuff you need/want. That said, Costco is solid, to that may be worth a little extra in the end anyway.

The cons are that pictures and videos from Insta360 are not very sharp and usually look distorted in 2D. Sharing is also very limited. I have to send links to Google Photos or Facebook and explain to people each time they have to scroll around with mouse or fingers. Everyone stares at you when you use the Insta360 on a stick. Even retracted, it looks like a club and I had an old lady freaked out on me once. I get flack from security at museums when using the stick, which is when it's the best use for the Insta360. So I've basically given up carrying the stick and just mount a screw and strap. There's a close up of me in every picture, but at least I can use it without someone harassing me about the stick.

Colors appeared to be truer on the GoPro Max while the X2 made the colors a bit more vivid. GoPro uses their action cam mount rather than a 1/4 camera mount. This can be disadvantageous for the GoPro when wanting to use an invisible selfie stick as any tilt can result in the stick appearing in the video. The GoPro's mount can be replaced to have a 1/4 camera mount built-in.
Side note: that 64gb microsd card is tiny for the amount of data the camera can generate. Factor in another $30-50 for a 256 or 512gb sd card. Insta360 recommends V30 class speeds.
I've used GoPros forever and they have served me well but I recently bought the x3 on a open box deal and been having a blast experimenting with it. Editing has a small learning curve with reframing and changing the camera angle but this camera paired with the regular short selfie stick and the extended 10' stick are pretty magical. I haven't used it in water but when researching it there are quite a few complaints about it getting water in it. The camera is supposed to be waterproof to like 10 feet but I would get the dive case for it if I planned on using it in the water to be safe.
Know that the resolution is 5.4K but that is split between both lenses so really you aren't getting 5.4K. Also the lenses stick out and are easily damaged so plan on buying a set of glass lens covers. If you damage the lens you have to send the camera in and spend a good bit of money to get one replaced
My advice would probably be if you are someone that likes tinkering and editing videos and making good quality videos get this camera. If you just want to use it once or twice a year on your family vacation and want to keep it simple get a GoPro…
