【Maximum Perversum 73 - Schwanzgeile Fickluder】

On Tuesday,Maximum Perversum 73 - Schwanzgeile Fickluder Insta360 launched the X5, a 360-degree action camera that pairs with an "invisible" selfie stick. The next iteration in the company's flagship series is tougher than ever before, and has the ability to produce footage at 5.7K and 60fps with HDR support (or 8K non-HDR footage). Not bad for a camera that can fit in your pocket.

The double-sided camera can capture truly panoramic footage, and the Chinese company showed off the new camera's capabilities in a teaser video ahead of its launch. The X5 is available for sale now from Insta360 and Amazon, with a base price of $549.99.

With the X5, Insta360 increases the pressure on GoPro, the brand that is — for now, at least — still synonymous with action cameras. While the GoPro Hero13 Black may still be the action camera standard bearer, Insta360 has caught up in key respects. The company's Ace Pro 2 features a Leica lens, and the X5 beats GoPro's new Max 360 camera in video resolution and battery power (GoPro's newly updated 360-degree action camera is more affordable, however).
