Insta360 has surged into the action camera space, going head-to-head with GoPro (and, to a lesser extent, DJI) across its range. The latest Insta360 X5, released in April this year, is currently showing up on AliExpress at a price that’s almost hard to believe.
AliExpress Singles Day (Double 11) deal on the Insta360 X5
For Singles Day (also known as Double 11), AliExpress is going all in. It’s the platform’s biggest event of the year - especially as it doesn’t take part in Black Friday - so it needs to deliver standout pricing on major brands. That’s exactly what’s happening with GoPro products, DJI cameras, and the Insta360 X5, which is arguably the best 360° action cam (in 8K!) on the market.
Over the past few hours, this model has dropped to 379 euros instead of 589 euros, which works out at almost 40% off the original price. Note that you’ll need to apply the code S11FR60 or 11FR60 directly on the AliExpress website to secure the maximum discount. The camera ships from a warehouse in France, and you should receive it within 3 working days. After delivery, you have 15 days to change your mind and return it. If you pay via PayPal, you also get an extra -33 euros off, bringing the final price to 346 euros.
A powerful 8K camera
The X5 is a 360-degree action camera that can record in 8K, thanks to two ultra-wide sensors in a 1/1.28-inch format, which are noticeably larger than on earlier models. This major step up, combined with PureVideo technology powered by a triple AI chip, improves image quality - particularly in low light, where it cuts noise and retains detail. Shooting in 8K at 30 frames per second gives you real creative freedom to reframe footage without compromise, while 5.7K at 60 frames per second and 4K at 120 frames per second deliver excellent smoothness.
FlowState stabilisation and 360° Horizon Lock
Alongside its video specs, the X5 leans heavily on FlowState stabilisation, producing extremely steady footage without the need for an external gimbal - ideal for sports and fast-moving activities such as cycling, skiing, or running. The 360° Horizon Lock feature keeps the horizon perfectly level even while moving, further pushing recordings towards a professional look.
Battery life, accessories and shooting flexibility
Battery performance has also been clearly strengthened, with a larger 2400 mAh battery and a dedicated Endurance mode that can extend recording up to 185 minutes in 5.7K at 24 frames per second - a significant advantage for longer sessions. The camera works with a wide range of standard accessories thanks to its threaded mount, making it easier to slot into different setups and rigs. It’s also genuinely flexible in how you use it, with the option to shoot in single-lens mode for more traditional action video.
