I would say that you can get some cool shots with the camera, but you will need to spend quite some time to learn the editing software and nuances. Not only that, but depending on what you're using it for, like snowboarding, it can be difficult to get the right angles. I think the angles it gets are awesome, and 360 is really cool. It allows you to collect a ton of b roll footage quickly. But editing everything can become incredibly time consuming. If you're new to editing and action cams, just stick with GoPro. If you're an advanced editor, content maker, influencer, etc then this will definitely add those extra awesome angles that gopros don't. One more thing I'll mention is that the camera itself gets heavy when extended on the stick. I can do 2-3 snowboarding runs then I put it away.

The deal is good on this though. I paid a little more around BF sale time.

I wish Costco would sell more DJI products like their action cam and Osmo Pocket 3. They sell their drones...

Totally agreed. The concept is awesome, but the reality is it's kind of a pain in the ass. I dropped mine and got a tiny nick on one of the lenses. It bothered me so much that I seriously considered doling out the $180 or whatever it was to get it repaired. I researched how to repair it myself and even with as much fine electronics repair experience as I have, it's a daunting task. Like almost impossible for most human beings without the right materials. So I compromised and bought a diamond polishing compound to buff it out, which I successfully did, but not without causing two new annoyances: 1) There's no anti-glare coating on one lens now so the stitch seam is obvious, 2) it's an ultra wide angle lens and to remove even the slightest amount of material alters the focus/sharpness so it is now blurry in the edges of that side. 😞

It upset me so much I haven't really touched the thing in over a year.

Great to film pickleball from side view to catch whole court. I was between this and GoPro 11 which couldn't catch that view without distortion. Also so fun as a net cam to catch great 360 footage after reframing.

Anybody upgraded to X3 from One X? I only saw a couple of comparisons between the two on Youtube and video quality improvement is not much. Thou, it still makes me wanna get it because of the newly released invisible dive case only made for the X3.
There's not a whole lot of difference between the x2 and x3, but the image quality is significantly better with the x3 compared to the x1.

Lost my OEM neoprene sleeve for my X3, apparently there's no way to get a replacement? Anyone have any luck?

Not looking for the zippered cases on Amazon. Just want the OEM sleeve

I'd love to see your pickleball videos. Said no one. Ever.

Use rubber instead

Same thing happened with me too. I bought it at Costco and it had 90 days return policy. I ended up returning it.
My old Ricoh Theta V is not as cooler as this but i like how it is made as compared to Insta360. Live streaming is a lot easier though.

Taking a family vacation in Europe and want to supplement our iPhones. Would this be an ideal choice for our group exploring London/Paris architecture etc.?

Wow! I bought this during CES at their booth for $405. Without the lens protector but with everything else. This is a better deal.

I have one being delivered today from Costco. This camera will be a supplement to my regular camera for a 2 month trip to SE Asia. Hopefully I can learn the software in the next few weeks and hopefully can make videos of the cities and markets where we are traveling. Motion / video adds a lot in a slide show. Lots of Youtube videos on how to set it up and use the software. Fingers crossed it works like I hope it will.
