If you already own an Insta360 X4 and decided to get the new X5, here is a list of things you will have to re-buy, according to Insta360. This page will be updated as we get more information:
X5 Accessories to Re-Buy
Per Insta360:
As X5 is different in size and internal structure from X4/X3, most accessories are not cross-compatible, including the battery, Invisible Dive Case, Lens Guards, and Quick Reader.
– Insta360
- Battery
- Battery Fast Charge Case (new design, charges 2 batteries instead of 3)
- Invisible Dive Case
- Lens Guards
- Mic Adapter (not confirmed; but Insta360 is listing a model specifically for the X5)
- Quick Reader
- Quick Release (not confirmed; but Insta360 is listing a model specifically for the X5)
- Rubber Lens Cap
- “The Insta360 X4 lens cap is not compatible with the X5. Our X5 has a new rugged, replaceable lens design that’s different from the X4. While some accessories like the 1/4″ mounting point are compatible between X4 and X5, specific accessories such as lens guards are not cross-compatible due to changes in size and optical performance. If you need lens protection for your X5, we recommend using accessories specifically designed for the X5 model.”
- Screen Protector (not confirmed; but Insta360 is listing two versions specifically for the X5)
- Thermo Grip Cover – one of these came with the X4, but not with the X5.
- USB Charging Cover (not confirmed; but Insta360 is listing two versions specifically for the X5)
- Utility Frame (“camera cage”) – per Hugh Hou video.
- …and more to be added.
