The Insta360 X5 action camera, known for its video capabilities, can also serve as a point-and-shoot camera when paired with the Photography Grip accessory, priced at $49.99. This grip enhances handling, making it easier to shoot at awkward angles and frame shots effectively. The X5 is capable of capturing 72MP stills in 360-degree mode, making it a surprising contender for photography. Its waterproof design allows for creative shots, including above and below water perspectives, although the USB-C port's exposure limits full submersion. While the camera is primarily designed for video, its decent photography specs and ability to shoot in RAW format make it suitable for casual photographers. Accessories from third-party manufacturers, like SmallRig's cage for the DJI Osmo Action 6, further enhance the versatility of action cameras for still photography. Overall, while the X5 remains a video-centric device, it opens up new possibilities for users interested in photography, especially with the right accessories.
