Insta360 Summer Update: Powerful New Tools for Creators

LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Since launching our flagship camera, Insta360 X5, we’ve been listening to your feedback and working hard to improve the product experience. The Summer Update brings together a series of innovations that make X5 more powerful, versatile, and intuitive than ever before.

From intelligent new features like AdaptiveTone to hardware upgrades including the Ultra Battery, every enhancement is designed to solve real creative challenges. Whether you’re a professional filmmaker, adventure creator, or passionate hobbyist, these updates will transform how you capture and share your world.

Why X5 Stands Apart
What makes X5 truly special is the level of creative freedom it offers. While traditional cameras force you to choose your frame in the moment, X5 captures your entire surroundings, giving you unlimited flexibility to:

  • Focus on living in the moment—no need to worry about framing.
  • Reframe one shot in endless ways, from cinematic wide angles to intimate close-ups and dynamic overhead angles.
  • Preserve complete 360 memories to revisit from every perspective.
  • Create multiple versions of the same moment for different platforms.

Now, with these latest updates, we’re enhancing every aspect of that workflow to make X5 a true creative powerhouse. So, here are the key improvements that will take your X5 experience to the next level.

AdaptiveTone: Smart Exposure in Complex Lighting
For scenes with dramatic lighting contrasts, like shooting through a doorway where one side is sunlit and the other shadowed, it can be a struggle for dual-lens cameras like X5 to balance the exposure across both lenses.

To solve this, we’ve developed a revolutionary new system: AdaptiveTone. By independently recording light data for both lenses, it preserves highlight and shadow detail across the entire spherical image, and automatically adjusts the exposure based on the perspective you choose. The result? Natural-looking footage in situations that would typically require compromises or extensive post-production.

AdaptiveTone is available in 8K30fps and 5.7K30fps 360 Video, PureVideo, and more.

PureVideo Now in Single-Lens Mode
PureVideo powers X5’s impressive low-light performance and is now available in Single-Lens Mode, having previously been for 360 video only.

This expansion means creators can capture stunning low-light footage with reduced noise and enhanced color fidelity, whether shooting traditional flat videos or immersive 360 content.

Enhanced Battery Performance
X5 now delivers significantly extended shooting times thanks to three key improvements:

  • Endurance Mode now available in 8K – this delivers just under two hours of continuous recording at the maximum resolution of 8K30fps—ideal for documenting complete events or performances.
  • Improved Endurance Mode for 5.7K – runtime has increased to 208 minutes from the previous 185, when shooting at 5.7K24fps.
  • New Ultra Battery – for creators needing extra power, the new 2800mAh Ultra Battery delivers 17% longer runtime at just under 4 hours*! This is available to purchase for just US$49.99.

*235 minute run time tested in 77°F (25°C) lab environment, 5.7K24fps 360 Video Mode in Endurance Mode. Battery life may vary under different conditions. Requires the latest firmware.

New X5 ND Filters: Cinematic Control for 360 Video
Create cinematic motion blur and get perfect exposure with the first ND filters designed for a 360 camera.

The X5 ND Filters Set (ND16, ND32, ND64) gives you complete control in any lighting condition, ideal for conveying speed in motorcycle footage or achieving professional-looking motion effects. Like lens guards, they attach securely and remove easily when you need to switch them out for different shots.

Make It Yours: New X5 Custom Replacement Lens Kit
Now you can personalize your X5 with custom-designed lenses. Choose from pre-made patterns, upload your own images, or generate AI artwork—then swap out the standard lenses in seconds.

Availability varies by region so check on the Insta360 Store for more info.

Motorcycle Filmmaking Solutions
The Summer Update contains lots of exciting news for the motorcycle community:

New & Exclusive X5 BMW Motorrad Edition
Insta360 has teamed up with BMW Motorrad to bring out a limited edition Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition, complete with custom BMW Motorrad features, designs and gear.

This limited edition bundle includes new accessories such as the Mini Remote, a handy tool to control the camera without moving your hands off the handlebars. It also comes with the new Ultra Battery pre-installed to power through those longer rides.

Other Motorcycle-Specific Enhancements

  • Immersive Shake Stabilization: Preserves just enough natural shake and tilt in your footage to authentically convey speed and terrain, while maintaining smooth, watchable results. Available now in Insta360 Studio, and coming soon for the Insta360 app.
  • Sena Headset Integration: Start/stop recording and use voice commands through compatible Sena helmet systems for completely hands-free operation. It can also record the chat with your riding buddies via the group intercom and overlay on the footage.
  • Plate Blur: Automatically obscures your license plate in your footage with just a few taps—no manual editing required.
  • New GPS Preview Remote with Built-In Mic: New all-in-one “mount anywhere” remote combines four essential tools: camera control, live preview, GPS data recording, and a noise-canceling microphone.

Together, these updates make X5 the most motorcycle-friendly Insta360 camera yet.

Underwater Filming Advancements
There’s great news for divers too on both the hardware and software front:

  • New Invisible Dive Case Pro – improves underwater image quality through advanced optical design. This isn’t available to purchase just yet but it’s coming soon!
  • New buoyancy control accessory – a stationary, underwater drone! Adjust the buoyancy so X5 floats in the water for easy, hands-free capture. This one’s also in the pipeline, so stay tuned for updates on the launch date.
  • AquaVision 3.0 – the algorithm now analyzes the footage and provides a selection of color adjustment options that best match the shot. You’ll get better-looking underwater shots without the hassle of adjusting the colors yourself! Available to try now in the app and Studio.
  • Connect X5 to your SUUNTO dive computer – lets you overlay real-time data into your videos. A great way to relive your dive with all the depth, time, and performance info baked right into the footage.

Faster, Easier Editing for Mobile and Desktop

For desktop users, we’ve applied multiple updates to the Insta360 Studio software since X5’s launch, with updates such as improved export speed, background export, and improvements to the AI Stitching algorithm. Check out all the key improvements here.

But one update we’d like to highlight is the new Quick Preview function. You can now preview insv files in their folder on your computer, without opening them in Studio. This is a huge timesaver when working with lots of clips, as you can do a quick preview to make sure it’s the right one, then get to work on the edit.

The release of X5 also saw a huge revamp for the Insta360 app, designed to simplify the 360 editing process. This is being continuously refined and includes several key improvements, such as a new smart grid layout on the Album page, a revamped Preview page with new editing tools such as preset perspectives, and much more. For all the info on that, check out our guide here.

Insta360+ Cloud Service – Get More From Your Insta360

The Insta360+ cloud service (launched earlier this year) transforms the Insta360 experience with up to 2TB cloud storage, auto file backup, cloud edit and export, and more. Currently available for X5, X4, and X3 footage, we’re working on expanding this to further product lines, so stay tuned for more on that.

An important update for subscribers who own an X5 is that you can now access all your Insta360+ footage in Insta360 Studio, allowing full cloud access whether you’re on a hardcore desktop edit or editing on the go in the Insta360 app.

For anyone who hasn’t subscribed yet, if you purchase an X5 or X5 BMW Motorrad Edition and activate before July 21st, you’ll get 200GB of free cloud storage with Insta360+ for 6 months, plus access to all the features. Existing owners can subscribe any time via the Insta360 app or online store.

900-Meter Detection Range: Thermal Master’s X2 transforms smartphones into thermal monocular, achieving 900-meter human detection (1.5Px). While its detection range is shorter than the T2 Max, it’s sufficient for most outdoor medium and long-range observations.

Birdwatching Excellence: The X2 is an outstanding thermal imager for birdwatching, with a 19.6° field of view perfect for forest searching. It enjoys high reputation among outdoor birdwatching communities.

Super Birding Mode: Thermal imaging suffers from sky effect when looking up at trees — the extreme temperature contrast between cold sky and warmer objects makes birds and trees indistinguishable. Thermal Master’s Super Birding technology, refined through multiple iterations, perfectly solves this challenge. Through extensive real-world testing, the X2 provides the best sky effect solution. Even compared to devices costing thousands of dollars, the X2 performs better for forest birdwatching.

Winter/Summer 2-in-1 Mode: During hot weather, high ambient temperatures significantly reduce thermal imaging target identification capabilities. Thermal Master X2’s winter/summer mode switching intelligently identifies and highlights targets while suppressing background noise for rapid target detection.

Recommended for: Birdwatchers, photography enthusiasts, and outdoor campers.

TAMPA, Fla., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — XTEND, a leader in AI-powered tactical autonomous robotic systems, today announced that Aliya Capital Partners and Protego Ventures have co-led a strategic $30M extension to its $70M Series B funding round, joining participating investors: Len Blavatnik’s Claltech, Union-Tech Ventures and Chartered Group.

 

13 JUNE 2025 – WARFARE HAS CHANGED FOREVER

XTEND’s AI-powered systems are actively used by the U.S. Department of Defense, Singapore, Europe, the UK, and the Israel Defense Force to improve strategic capabilities and mission success in challenging environments. With this Series B funding, XTEND plans to scale up U.S. and global production, integrate real-time AI capabilities across its platforms, and expand deployments with U.S. and allied defense forces, as well as for humanitarian and emergency response efforts.

As part of this investment, Aliya Capital Partners’ Founding Partner and CEO, Ross Kestin, has joined XTEND’s Board of Directors. Kestin explains: “XTEND’s mission—to deliver cutting-edge drone and robotics systems for high-risk, mission-critical environments—aligns directly with our vision of supporting technologies that protect and enhance life. We’re honored to back Aviv and his world-class team and help accelerate the impact of their technology across defense, security, and emergency response sectors.”

The announcement follows the grand opening of XTEND’s new U.S. headquarters and advanced drone manufacturing facility in Tampa, Florida, on July 1. The event brought together government, military, and industry leaders for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, remarks from key stakeholders, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.

“The grand opening of XTEND’s Tampa facility represents more than a physical expansion—it marks a new phase of operational scale, U.S. engagement, and global relevance,” said Lee Moser, Co-Founder and General Partner of Protego Ventures. “We’re proud to support this next chapter alongside the Aliya team.”

Lital Leshem, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Protego Ventures, adds: “We invested in XTEND because it’s clear they are building a category-defining platform for human-guided autonomy that can scale fast and make an immediate impact. At a time when defense innovation demands urgency and trust, XTEND stood out as ready to lead.”

XTEND CEO Aviv Shapira concludes: “The successful completion of our Series B financing highlights the surging demand for mission-critical autonomous systems from allied defense and public safety agencies. The investment will fuel accelerated R&D, scale manufacturing, and global deployment expansion. That said, the backing from Aliya and Protego isn’t just about fresh capital—it’s a powerful vote of confidence. Ross’s experience and strategic perspective are invaluable in navigating this pivotal growth phase. Furthermore, opening our Tampa headquarters is a major step forward as we continue to build cutting-edge systems that protect lives worldwide.”

Additional investor quotes:

Avi Fischer, Chairman of Clal Industries and Claltech, says: “When investing in companies, you typically meet the founders, the management team, the technology—and of course, dive into the virtual data room. But with XTEND, we did something far more important. On our very first visit, we walked into a room with over 50 end users, all being trained on the system. What convinced us to invest wasn’t just the tech—it was their feedback. They spoke about how the system has saved lives, how AI-driven training cut learning time by 99%, and how this technology is already changing the battlefield. That’s when we knew—we had to be part of this.”

Dr. Peter Kash, Chairman of the Board, XTEND, says: “This milestone represents the realization of XTEND’s vision to bring our groundbreaking technologies closer to the U.S. defense ecosystem. With this facility, we’re laying the foundation for sustained growth, high-tech job creation and meaningful contributions to America’s security and industrial capabilities. I’m incredibly proud of the team that made this moment possible, amplifying the connectivity of Florida and the future of AI and Robotics.
