Trusted Reviews100

Calls it the best all-round 360 camera available, excelling in daylight and darkness with strong pro features.

Hands-on review · 2026 · Read
TechRadar95

Delivers the best small 360 footage in both day and night with strong waterproofing, but the steep price and buggy app temper enthusiasm.

Tom's Guide90

The most technically accomplished 360 camera yet, better than the X5 in imaging, battery and waterproofing, but its high price makes the X5 the better all-rounder.

Hands-on review · 2026 · Read
Engadget89

A solid flagship 360 camera with a clear image upgrade over the X5 and handy editing tools, though stitching flaws, modest storage and higher price versus rivals apply.
