HOUSING FOR INSTA360 X3
by Massimo Boyer
Presented and tested in Live Facebook on March 30, 2023, is the new housing for Insta360 X3.
It is available for purchase on the Easydive.it and Carbonarm.com websites The 360 videos are entering our lives more and more, for this reason Easydive has created a new 40 micron anodized aluminum housing, guaranteed up to -150 meters, dedicated to the Insta360 X3.
You will create extraordinary 360° 5.7K videos, or alternatively you can decide to use the system as an action camera, without ever losing what is happening around you.
Let's see it in detail, because the future is now and the possibilities for having fun with this new housing are truly endless. It is said that in order to view the material produced, you don't necessarily need a 360° viewer. The camcorder is small, but has huge potential. It is in fact possible to do:
• 360° video, max. 5.7K resolution, HDR 30fps.
• Single lens video, max. 4K resolution, 30 fps HDR.
• Timelapse videos.
• Video timeshift.
• Time Bullet Videos.
You will be able to decide the most interesting shot in post-production, changing the scene in a flat sequence. You can even take pictures up at a resolution of 72MP. But the big advantage of using Insta360 X3 is the ability to record a 360° video, and edit it to create a traditional video, in which you can choose the best shot during editing and never miss any magical moment that takes place around you.
It is true that the aluminum housing is more expensive, but let us bear in mind that:
The very resistant material protects the video camera up to -150 meters deep. It also prevents the camera from overheating, as heat dissipation is much higher than in a plastic housing. Zenit and Nadir in 360° videos are much more defined than using plastic cases. The housing allows the use of all functions, through the 4 mechanical buttons and the camera's “housing” mode.
Finally, two words for those who like to know the technical characteristics.
Material Body material: Anticorodal aluminium Anodized 40 Micron
Domes material: plexiglass.
2 Stainless Steel Hinges.

Is that enough for you? Otherwise we add that the new case for Insta360 X3 is the only one that allows real-time viewing and control from the surface via dedicated Wi-Fi cable (Optional).
It is recommended to use the case mounted on Polecam or with Moby bracket for DPV.
