Insta360 releases X5 - should you/I get it?

[Neal]

Looking forward to watching it shortly. I got the 67d carbon fiber pole this week. Do you prefer the camera aft or forward?

 

[Cubonaut875]

I think aft is a better view for learning while forward is better for showing off. I positioned the forward further outboard and the aft further inboard so as not to interfere with ailerons in case of something coming loose.

@Neal and @Cubonaut875 -- what clamps do you use for wing strut attachment? I have an X4, do you think the cost to upgrade to an X5 is worth it? Can you post up some pics showing the details of how you attach the carbon fiber pole to the wing struts?

Here are three resources for mounts I'm aware of and if you can get to EAA AirVenture you'll see a lot of this too. Hope you can make it.

Excellent video!!

@Cubonaut875 - can you post links to the clamps you use for the 67d carbon fiber telescoping pole? The one I used previously is for a smaller diameter rod. Need to figure out a clamping solution. I have the strut mounts, I just need the U clamp you're using to capture the pole please.

Thanks
