The X3 is the latest 360° action camera from Insta360. These cameras capture everything around you in every direction and can provide quite unique third person views: https://www.insta360.com/sal/x3?insrc... (free selfie stick with this link!)

I’ll help you decide if this is the right camera for you. I’ll look at some of its new features and offer some tips on how they can be used. I’ll discuss why you might want a 360° camera and look at other options available to you right now - both from Insta360 and GoPro.
