360° Me Mode: What is it exactly?

Me Mode is a smart tracking mode that automatically keeps the subject (you) in the center of the frame, thanks to AI-powered 360° cropping. You film everything around you, and the camera takes care of selecting the most interesting angle.

The invisible boom effect makes it appear as if a camera is floating beside you. This creates a unique, professional-looking view without the boom ever being seen.

How to Enable Me Mode on the Insta360 X5

Activating Me Mode is simple:

1. Turn on your X5 and connect it to the Insta360 mobile app (or use the touchscreen).

2. In the capture modes, choose "Me Mode" .

3. Set the resolution to 4K 30 fps or 60 fps for smooth rendering.

4. Make sure the invisible pole is fully extended and centered.

5. Start recording and start moving!

The camera simultaneously records 360° video and a flat MP4 file , ready to share without editing.
