This is a no brainer, Costco bundle + 90 days return policy on electronics.
Depends on if you plan on getting accessories anyways, if you're able to get the 20% CB (that SD keeps deleting comments on), and how much the extra warranty (costco ez return plus manufacturers warranty) is worth it to you.

I see cash back being referenced, how is that being achieved?
Is this though a specific credit card or paypal?

Wondering the same.

Costco. $469 from an authorized dealer and one of the best retailers out there.

Aliexpress. $360 ($288 if you can get the 20% CB). Add in selfie stick ($25), battery ($25) and memory card (~$70) bring you to $480 or $408 if you get 20% CB.
will import from China impose tariff on buyer end?

With credit card protection & generous buyer's protection policy from AE, I never had any issues with them.

...also who's buying action cams from Dell out of all places???? LOL
Amex Plat card holders that get a $200 semi-annual credit for Dell stuff. It's how I got my RTX-4070TiS for ~$375 almost two years go.

I hear this. I've got an old ONE RS that I'm using now after I scratched the lens on my ONE 360 1". If you're not an influencer or a weird combination of action sports and videographer, these just fill up your hard drive with footage you'll never get around to doing anything with. The resolution (and quality) is poor compared to phone video so unless you're one of the 0.1% with a VR headset or want mostly wide angle shots and are willing to do a lot of post-processing time for re-framing (to get a barely-HD clip) it will probably sit in a drawer after the first few uses.

It's still fun to play with and make some stylized photos, but I mostly use mine for interior architecture reviews (work stuff) where quality is not paramount and I just need a record of conditions.

LOL! I have gigs and gigs of footage for my travel channel and will only use a 10 second clip here or there for B roll.

Yes... 4k per lens though. Since it creates images/video that spans 360 degrees, technically it's 8k. But once it's turned into a normal video, it's 4k.

Note that Costco still has the GoPro MAX2 with a bunch of accessories for $390.
I know that in some terms (especially low light) the Insta360 X5 is better than the GoPro.
However, at least for anyone used to the GoPro apps and device control, the MAX2 is much easier to operate.

I tried the X5 as a replacement of my GoPro MAX and the differences in handling and the app were too much for me. The MAX2 felt right at home and the quality difference from the old MAX is very big.

To each their own, just putting this out there.
