Or at least, for my uses in casual documentation of family vacations and bike rides what not – anything that lessens the hassle of needing to edit and reframe the videos and then export them… well that's worth a couple hundred dollars of my time.
But to that end, I'm not really going to find these cameras truly easy to use until the ai onboard or in the computer/phone is good enough to automatically output decent flat videos.

I just replicated your deal as outlined and pulled the trigger. I just hope the cash back portion works (I had never heard of that site and it looks Chinese).
The X5 is a specialty camera, and the image quality is not quite there yet... note it records 8-bit color!
but I have been wanting one for years and the X5 is "acceptable". The MAX, X3 and X4 are simply not good enough.
The X5 is worth the $355-400 to me. It may not be for other people...
360° Cameras really need bigger size sensors for better light capture. But size, heat management and power draw are still an issue... so they may still be another 2-3 years out to stay below $500 and this size.

Re quality, I know. This is the first 360 camera I bought. The video quality is indeed barely acceptable. Less than half of the surface area of the sensors are used (image circle in the middle of the sensor only), so maybe 30 square mm of the 75 square mm sensors each? Focus is unacceptable underwater. 8-bit video only. Huge distortions due to fisheye lenses in front of flat sensors, massive motion blur in low light video for fats moving subjects (to be expected)... The list goes on. The necessary accessories cots a lot. I'm not convinced I will use this camera much. But I thought at this price it's worth trying it out. I note that none of the Youtubers who are hyping it (for money) ditched their FF setups for it...🤪🤣 I think I have realistic expectations. I'm bringing this thing on vacation now in addition to my FF camera and an Insta360 Flow 2 Pro for my phone. It's another 10 years before 360 cameras have good image quality. I just thought the premium for the X5 is totally worth it over the X4. Hence my OG post here.
If you don't need high quality audio and low-light video because you only want to use it in perfect light, the X4 is fine. Enjoy!
