And this is not something they warn you about or any other review has mentioned. For the cost (about HKD$650) this is not acceptable. I take care of my gear and put things down gently and don’t throw them around, but even just putting it down on any kind of hard surface will scratch it or lave marks on the outer case, and again, this shows up on footage. But the worst thing about the Insta360 One X Dive Case is that’s extremely easy to scratch/mark. However, they leave lint in the case and this can show up in your footage. It also fogs up, so you must use the included anti-fog things.

Even with the 360, I could only use about a quarter of the footage I’d taken. I ended up taking the Insta360 One X Dive Case to Chiang Mai without testing it and came back with a bunch of mostly unusable footage due to the fact you get a lot of the bottom of the case in all shots. I didn’t really want it for diving, more for just swimming pools, beaches, snorkelling and that type of stuff and at the time, the original Insta360 One X Venture Case (Version 1) was not suitable for that and not waterproof. To be fair, this is really my fault for not doing more research on the Insta360 One X Dive Case before buying it. Unfortunately the Insta360 One X Dive Case takes this away and when either out or in water you see the base of the case and it’s pretty ugly rendering footage pretty much unusable. The best thing about the Insta360 One X 360 degree camera is that it magically makes the selfie pole disappear so you effectively have nice clean shots with people wondering how you took that shot. One of the first rules of photography is never take new gear on holiday or an important shoot without testing it first. (No I don’t get commissions on accessories from Insta360, so that has nothing to do with it.I forked out for the Insta360 One X Dive Case before the new Insta360 One Venture Case came out and regretted it immediately. So I would suggest waiting a couple of weeks to get it directly from Insta360. And if the case you got from a 3rd party leaks and ruins your camera, I doubt Insta360 would do anything about that. There’s no guarantee that you’ll receive a genuine product, or a counterfeit, or a reject from the factory. The new Venture Case is currently being offered on Aliexpress, but get that at your own risk. You simply have to check the box for Venture Case stitching, either in your phone app, the Insta360 Studio 2019 app, or Adobe Premiere.

As with the original, the new Venture Case will appear invisible in your photos and videos, even with the new frame. According to resellers, it is supposed be waterproof to a depth of 5 meters, although Insta360 hasn’t said anything yet officially. It appears similar to the original Venture Case, but there is an additional frame around it. However, it turned out that the Case could leak under some circumstances, and so Insta360 pulled it off the shelves and quietly worked on a new version of the Venture Case for several months, weathering criticism from some users who complained about the lack of a case. It was also originally intended to be waterproof. Fortunately, that’s about to change.Īctually, Insta360 One X had a Venture Case, a polycarbonate case that could protect the One X. The Insta360 One X is currently the most popular 360 camera on the market in terms of sales volume, but one if its few weaknesses is that it doesn’t have a rugged case. Here’s a look at the new Venture Case for the Insta360 One X (reviewed here).
