Insta360 has rolled out a significant firmware update for its X5 action camera, introducing features that elevate its usability for professional creators. The update includes built-in Neutral Density (ND) filters, a high-capacity battery option, and refined exposure controls—enhancements that address key pain points for videographers.
The addition of ND filters allows for better light management in bright conditions, enabling smoother motion blur and more cinematic footage without external accessories. A new extended battery, nearly doubling the standard capacity, ensures prolonged shooting sessions, ideal for travel and adventure content. The improved exposure algorithm now offers more accurate auto-adjustments in dynamic lighting scenarios.
Industry experts note that these updates position the X5 as a stronger competitor against flagship action cameras like the GoPro Hero series. With its modular design and 1-inch sensor, the X5 continues to appeal to professionals seeking high-quality, versatile footage. Additional refinements include optimized stabilization and faster wake-from-sleep performance, further streamlining the user experience.
For creators invested in Insta360’s ecosystem, this update reinforces the X5’s value proposition, blending advanced features with practical durability. The firmware is available now as a free download for existing X5 owners.
