- First day offers for rival models block the party
Insta360 may have cornered the 360 cameras market in recent times, but is threatened with a rumored Dji Osmo 360 and now a surprise entry to the market, the new Akaso 360.
Akaso is a proven alternative to the main brand brands such as GoPro, Insta360 and DJI, with an impressive Low Cost Models. Now he has entered the 360 camera space with the Akaso 360, and is very impressive for money: see our in -depth review of Akaso 360.
The new 360 camera triggers a 5.7K crispy video with a total coverage of 360 degrees through its twin lenses, with the intelligence of the software that we expect from the best 360 cameras, such as seamless seams and elimination of Selfie Stick.
However, perhaps the most impressive is the price of the price at which Akaso 360 enters the market: it is much cheaper than any other current model.

Lower the bar for the prices of the 360 camera, but is the Akaso 360 the best value?
The launch price of Akaso 360 begins in just $ 199.99 / £ 199.99 / Aus329.99 for the standard combo, or $ 249.99 / £ 249.99 / AU $ 399.99 for the Creator Combo, which adds two additional batteries, a battery charge case and a 120 cm self -stuff.
For the price, no other 360 camera is approaching: the Insta360 X5 is more than double, while the GoPro Max (2025) is around $ 150 / £ 150 / AU $ 200 more (and that follows a new price of the original Max model of 2019, which was a price similar to the X5).
But just because the Akaso 360 is the cheapest model available, should I get it?
The comparison between the Akaso 360 and Insta360 x5 is barely fair: the latter is the best 360 camera in the market, and exceeds the Akaso model in almost every aspect, including its 8K video and its low -light image quality.
The twin lenses of the X5 can also be changed in case of damage, with cheap replacement lenses available. In the long run, this characteristic alone could make it better value than any Another 360 camera. After all, it breaks a lens while recording with any other model, which is probable eventuality to film outdoor activities, and the entire camera needs a expensive repair or replacement. It is not so with the X5.
However, for the characteristics and performance, I believe that the one Insta360 x3 is the previous rival 360.
It does not help the cause of Akaso that announced its first 360 camera during the first day week, at a time when there are large price cuts for the X3. You can obtain the Insta360 x3 for $ 249.99 at Amazon US (original price $ 449.99), or £ 259.99 at Amazon UK (original price £ 459.99) or in the store Insta360 for the same price, with other available bunge.
The X3 is still a bit more expensive, but I think it has the advantage over the 360 Akaso in two ways. First, it is waterproof up to 33 feet / 10 m, while the Akaso model is not, and second, the X3 also triggers an HDR video.
If your wallet extends a little more, the offer X3 is an excellent value. Otherwise, the cameras are quite similar, and if the previous two points do not discourage you the new Akaso model, then a full -price Akaso 360 is still an excellent value. It is a super impressive 360 camera for money.
