# Insta360 X3: specs and price

**Price (US):** Not published (No stable US MSRP could be sourced verbatim. The only fetchable US price page, Tom's Guide (published 8 September 2022), displayed live affiliate/Prime Day deal prices ("$229.99 at Amazon", "$229.99 at Best Buy", "$299.99 at Sweetwater", "$299.99 at BHPhoto") rather than a list MSRP, and these deal widgets are volatile day-to-day. The official Insta360 store, B&H, Amazon and Best Buy product pages all returned HTTP 403 and could not be fetched. CameraPro listed "$799.00" but that is an Australian (AUD) store price, not USD.

## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted outlets published hands-on reviews of the exact Insta360 X3 (2022 model). TechRadar (1 March 2023) ran quantitative tests, measuring battery drain (100% to 87% after 15 min, 49% after 45 min) and 45 minutes of continuous 5.7K capture with no overheating message. Digital Trends (13 Sept 2022) tested a prelaunch unit hands-on but reported no quantitative figures. Both praise the large 2.29-inch touchscreen, FlowState stabilization plus 360 horizon lock, the fun and versatile shooting/editing modes, strong 360 image quality, and strong value for a 360 camera. Both flag slow startup with occasional freezes and weak low-light performance. TechRadar alone flags soft single-lens 4K footage. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2022-09-13–2023-03-01.)

Praised: Large 2.29-inch touchscreen is a major usability upgrade; Excellent FlowState stabilization and 360 horizon lock; Fun, versatile creative shooting and editing modes; Strong 360-degree image quality; Affordable and good value for a 360 camera; Significant image-quality boost over the predecessor X2.
Flagged: Slow startup with occasional freezes and bugs; Weak low-light performance; some modes need strong light; Single-lens 4K footage looks soft.
Disagreement: The two split on flat single-lens video quality: TechRadar judged single-lens 4K soft and 'not even close' to a dedicated single-lens GoPro, whereas Digital Trends described the X3's video overall as 'sharp and clean' and foregrounded its 360 strengths rather than single-lens shortcomings.
