Overview
Daniel reconsidered an earlier harsh review of the Insta360 X3, determining that the camera's features leave little justification for buying GoPros.
The Insta360 X3 provides full rotations with horizon-locked stabilization, 360-degree recording that enables post-activity reframing, and single-lens capture modes with front or selfie views on a large screen, matching GoPro's waterproofing and stability.
GoPros maintain an advantage in size and compact form factor, prompting a suggestion that the Insta360 X3 would improve with a wider, pebble-shaped redesign rather than its tall, thin profile.
Daniel expressed relief regarding personal height while making derogatory comments about being six feet tall.
