- Prime Day offering for rival models crashing the party
The Insta360 may have cornered with the 360 camera market in recent times, but it is threatened by a rumored DJI Osmo 360 and now a surprise input to the market, the new Akaso 360.
Akaso is a proven alternative to leading action camera brands such as GoPro, Insta360 and DJI with an impressive series of low cost models. Now it has entered the 360-camera space with the Akaso 360, and it is super impressive for money-checking our in-depth Akaso 360 review.
The brand new 360 camera shoots the CRISP 5.7K video with a total 360 degree coverage through its two lenses, complete with the software Smarts, we have come to expect from the best 360 cameras, such as trouble-free sewing and removal of selfie stick.
What is most impressive, though, is the price point where Akaso 360 enters the market – it’s so much cheaper than any other current model.

Lowering the bar for 360 camera prices, but is Akaso 360 the best value?
The Launch Price for Akaso 360 starts at only $ 199.99 / £ 199.99 / AUS329.99 for the default combination, or $ 249.99 / £ 249.99 / AU $ 399.99 for creator Combo, adding two additional batteries, a battery charging case and a 120cm self -stick.
For Price, no other 360 camera close to -Insta360 X5 is well over double, while GoPro Max (2025) is about $ 150 / £ 150 / AU $ 200 more (and it follows a new price point from the original Max model from 2019, which was a similar price like X5).
But just because the Akaso 360 is the cheapest available model do you have to get it?
The comparison between the Akaso 360 and the Insta360 X5 is hardly fair – the latter is the best 360 camera on the market, and it beats Akaso’s model in almost every respect, including its 8K video and lowlight -image quality.
X5’s twin lenses can also be replaced in case of damage with cheap replacement lenses. In the long term, this feature alone could make it better the value than any Other 360 camera. After all, break a lens while being recorded with any other model, which is a probable eventuality to record outdoor persecutions and the entire camera needs an expensive repair or replacement. Not so with X5.
For features and performance, however, I think the older Insta360 X3 is the closest Akaso 360 rival.
It doesn’t help Akaso’s case that it revealed its first 360 camera in the first day week, at a time when there are huge price cuts for the X3. You can get insta360 x3 for $ 249.99 at Amazon US (Original Price $ 449.99) or £ 259.99 to Amazon UK (Original Price £ 459.99) or in the Insta360 store at the same price, with other available bundles.
The X3 is still a little more expensive, but I think it has the edge over the Akaso 360 in two ways. First, it is waterproof up to 33ft / 10m, while Akaso’s model is not, and secondly, the X3 also shoots HDR video.
If your wallet extends a little longer, the X3 agreement is an excellent value. Otherwise, the cameras are pretty similar and if the two points above do not expose you to Akaso’s new model, an Akaso 360 with full price is still excellent value. It’s a super impressive 360 camera for the money.
