Insta360 X5 PureView vs GoPro Hero 4 Night Test & Mic Air Review

Is the Insta360 X5's PureView mode good enough for motorcycle night vlogging? Find out in this side-by-side comparison where we put the new Insta360 X5 low-light performance to the test against the much older GoPro Hero 4! This isn't a fair comparison, but it gives you a fantastic idea of how modern low-light technology handles dark, chilly morning rides compared to a classic action camera.

We focus heavily on the image quality, especially how the X5's PureView handles bright oncoming traffic lights and preserves detail in pitch-black conditions. We were surprised by the minimal glare and excellent exposure control!

But that's not all—we also thoroughly test the new Insta360 Mic Air external microphone for motorcycle vlogging audio. We test the sound quality while the mic is tucked inside a helmet, analyzing how it handles wind noise and enhanced voice settings without a wind guard, and then with the wind guard attached. If you're looking for the best moto vlogging mic that minimizes breathing and wind sound, this is a must-watch audio review!
