Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition
For motorcyclists who live for the thrill of the ride—especially BMW Motorrad fans—Insta360 has just given you a new gadget to geek out over. Say hello to the Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition, a special version of the brand’s flagship action camera, designed specifically with riders in mind. This isn’t just a rebrand with a fancy logo. It’s a purpose-built camera system that fits perfectly into your handlebar life, complete with ride data overlays, a new mini remote control, and upgraded battery performance.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a long-distance tourer, or a motovlogger capturing every twist of the throttle, this edition of the X5 could be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
Next-Level Imaging: 8K Action, 360° Freedom
At the heart of this edition is the Insta360 X5 itself—an incredibly powerful action cam that pushes the boundaries of what you can record while on the move.
- 8K resolution at 30fps for ultra-crisp details.
- 5.7K at 60fps for smoother shots with better frame coverage.
- 4K at 120fps for epic slow-motion sequences.
Thanks to dual fisheye lenses, the camera captures everything around you in full 360°, eliminating the need to choose your angle in advance. You can reframe your shots later in post, creating hyper-dynamic content without missing a moment.
And yes, the Invisible Selfie Stick is still here. Mount it wherever you like—on the handlebars, tank, or helmet—and it’ll vanish from the frame like magic. The result? Footage that looks like it was taken from a drone hovering right beside you.
Designed for the Ride: The Unique Features of the BMW Motorrad Edition
This isn’t just about high-quality footage. This version is designed to make sense on a motorcycle—from both a functional and an emotional standpoint.
Live Ride Data On-Screen
The real gem? You can overlay real-time ride data on your videos using Insta360’s app. That means GPS route tracking, speed, and distance—everything a rider geek would love to showcase. Whether you’re reviewing your trip or uploading to YouTube, this adds a layer of context that GoPros just don’t offer natively.
Mini Bluetooth Remote
This new remote is a game-changer for motorcycle use. Small enough to sit on your handlebar, it connects via Bluetooth and lets you control the camera without removing your gloves or reaching for your helmet. Switch modes, start/stop recording, or drop a keyframe marker with a simple tap. It’s intuitive and rider-safe.
Better Battery, Longer Rides
The included 2,800mAh battery delivers a 17% improvement in recording time over the standard battery. Insta360 claims it can record up to 93 minutes of continuous 8K footage, which is impressive given the resolution. Plus, it’s hot-swappable—great for those who don’t want to stop just because the juice runs out.
Waterproof and Weather-Ready
The BMW edition is waterproof up to 15 meters (49 ft) without additional housing. Whether you’re riding in tropical rain or crossing shallow rivers, your camera will keep rolling. It’s rugged enough to handle whatever the road (or off-road) throws at it.
Who Should Get This Camera?
This camera is tailor-made for:
- BMW Motorrad owners who want gear that fits the brand’s premium aesthetic,
- Motovloggers who want dynamic, data-rich content for YouTube or Instagram,
- When it comes to long-distance documentation, adventure motorcyclists want a dependable camera.
- Weekend riders who want to relive their best moments in immersive 360°.
Even if you don’t own a BMW bike, the features still make this a top-tier action cam for motorcyclists.
Pricing and Availability
The official Insta360 website and authorised dealers are currently selling the Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition, which retails for USD $599.99. While there’s no confirmation yet on localized release for Indonesia or other Southeast Asian countries, international shipping is an option for those eager to get their hands on it early.
How Does It Compare?
In contrast to the regular X5, the BMW Motorrad Edition provides:
- Exclusive BMW design accents
- Built-in dashboard overlay support for ride stats
- A new, rider-friendly Bluetooth remote
- Extended battery life
If you already own an X5, you won’t need to upgrade unless you really want the integrated motorcycle features and branding. But if you’re just stepping into the 360° action cam world, this is arguably one of the best rider-focused packages on the market right now.
Final Thoughts: The Perfect Touring Companion?
Insta360 has built something special here. The combination of top-tier imaging, practical riding features, and clean, Motorrad-inspired design makes this camera an instant favorite for motorcycle enthusiasts.
Whether you’re capturing your first solo trip or leading a convoy through twisty mountain passes, the X5 BMW Motorrad Edition helps you relive every moment—in full cinematic glory.
