If you’re a motorcyclist, chances are you’ve already come across plenty of panoramic riding videos on social media that were filmed with the Insta360 X5.
It’s no surprise that the X5 has become the most popular action camera among motorcyclists. The camera supports both 360° panoramic and wide-angle recording, with stunning 8K image quality that delivers sharp, vibrant footage in both daytime and nighttime conditions. What truly sets the X5 apart is its unique “detachable lens design.” This makes the camera not only durable, but also easy to maintain—if a lens is scratched or damaged, it can be swapped out without replacing the entire unit. For riders, that combination of quality and practicality makes the X5 one of the best cameras you can mount on a bike.
It’s worth noting that among all the official X5 packages, three are specifically designed for motorcycle use—highlighting that riding is one of the X5’s core and most important scenarios. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the most comprehensive option, the X5 Motorcycle Multi-View Kit, and compare it with the other two available kits.
If you're a motorcyclist thinking of getting an X5, this review will help you understand all the X5 kits and accessories, where to install the 360 camera, teach you how to choose the right kit for you, and give you stunning motorcycle footage right out of the box🏍️.
Motorcycle Ultimate Multiview Bundle vs Motorcycle Multiview Bundle vs BMW Motorrad Edition Motorcycle Multiview Bundle vs BMW Motorrad Limited Edition
There are three official motorcycle bundles available for the X5 ⬇️
| Bundle Name | Package includes accessories | Price | |
| Motorcycle Ultimate Multiview Bundle |  | - Action Invisible Selfie Stick - Heavy Duty Clamps - Lens Cap – Premium Lens Guards – Motorcycle Selfie Stick Support Clamp | USD $699 |
| Motorcycle Multiview Bundle |  | - Heavy Duty Clamps - Lens Cap - Action Invisible Selfie Stick | USD $613 |
| BMW Motorrad Limited Edition |  | - Ultra Battery (Pre-installed) - Mini Remote Control | USD $599.99 |
Compared with the "Multi-Angle Kit", the "All-In-One Multi-Angle Kit" is an all-around upgraded version with two additional accessories, namely the "Advanced Lens Protection Lens" and the "Selfie Stick Support Clip". If you are particularly concerned about "lens protection" or the complete stabilization of the selfie stick angle when taking photos on the move, you can consider getting the most comprehensive one directly.All-in-One Multi-Perspective SetThe
However, the Multi-View Bundle already meets the recording needs of most motorcycle riders and is also highly recommended.
As for the BMW Limited Edition, it includes two unique accessories: the BMW Motorrad Mini Remote and the Power Battery, but it does not belong to the same lineup as the motorcycle bundles. The remote allows you to control the X5 while riding and quickly switch perspectives in FreeFrame mode. Meanwhile, the built-in 2800mAh Power Battery offers up to 235 minutes of recording in endurance mode—around 17% longer than the standard battery. If you choose the BMW Motorrad Bundle, you’ll need to purchase additional motorcycle recording accessories to fully support on-bike shooting.
Next, I will focus on the All-in-One Multi-View Kit, to bring you a quick understanding of the use and features of each accessory, for your easy reference.

The motorcycle kit includes all the essential accessories for riding, so you can get everything you need in one purchase—without the hassle of figuring out which items to buy separately.
Action Invisible Selfie Stick
The Action Invisible Selfie Stick extends up to 100 cm and is currently the most durable selfie stick from Insta360. Its length is especially suitable for motorcycle filming, while its lightweight and anti-shake design makes it easy to carry and reliably stable.
- Minimum 28cm, maximum 100cm, weight only 124g
- Carbon fiber material for durability and shock resistance
- Optimal length while riding, in compliance with regulations (motorcycle carriers are limited to 2 meters or less)
- Auto invisible design, the selfie stick is completely invisible when taking pictures, the picture is just like a blank camera effect.
Motorcycles are generally limited to carrying items up to 2 meters long, which makes a selfie stick of about 100 cm the ideal choice.
As the name suggests, the Action Invisible Selfie Stick never appears in your footage! It creates the effect of having someone follow you with a camera—almost like riding with a professional film crew. Even without a drone, you can capture stunning aerial-style shots that look truly cinematic.
How does the Invisible Selfie Stick disappear?
Because the front and rear lenses of a 360° camera are rounded, their fields of view overlap at the exact point where the selfie stick appears. The Insta360 app then automatically removes this overlapping area during stitching, making the selfie stick disappear from the final footage.
Heavy Duty Clamp
The Heavy-Duty Clamp allows you to securely mount the selfie stick or X5 onto your motorcycle’s handlebar. Installation requires tightening with a hex wrench, ensuring a rock-solid hold without wobbling—perfect for high-speed or long-distance riding footage.
Mounting with the Heavy-Duty Clamp on the bike ⬇️
It can be securely mounted on the motorcycle’s handlebar, rear seat, or tail rack.
Easy to install and remove, with freely adjustable angles.
High anti-shake design ensures stable footage without vibration.
X5 Lens Cap
The lens of a 360° camera protrudes outward, which means it can easily get scratched even when set down for just a short time. To prevent this, the X5 comes with a flexible silicone lens cap that provides reliable physical protection against accidental damage.
Made of silicone, it’s lightweight and flexible, weighing only 28g.
Helps prevent scratches, dust, and fingerprints during daily storage and transport.
Premium Lens Guards
The X5’s Premium Lens Protector is made of tempered glass, which not only shields the lens from scratches but also uses multi-layer coatings to reduce light reflections and improve overall image quality. The protector is also removable, giving you the flexibility to use it only when needed for different shooting scenarios.
adopt 10H hardness tempered glass(Same hardness as diamond).
Multi-layer coating design effectively reduces reflections and lens flare.
Enhances light transmission for brighter, clearer images.
Easy to install and remove, allowing you to switch as needed for different shooting situations.
Motorcycle Selfie Stick Support Clamp
Even during moving shots, it prevents the selfie stick from tilting and provides a non-slip grip!
The "Motorcycle Selfie Stick Support Clip" can effectively support the selfie stick to prevent it from shaking or tilting. Especially when riding a motorcycle or turning a corner, the selfie stick is often unstable due to vibration, and this support clip can firmly fix the angle to ensure that the picture is stable and not loose.
- Prevents the selfie stick from tilting and shaking while riding.
- Enhanced freedom of angle adjustment for greater stability.
- Ideal for shooting from the rear viewpoint to ensure safety and capture stunning images.
Where is the 360 camera installed in the locomotive?
Handlebar Shot
The Heavy-Duty Clamp can be firmly mounted on the handlebar, allowing you to record without using a selfie stick.
Simply attach the heavy-duty clamp to the handlebars and start shooting. When mounted facing forward, it captures both the first-person view and the dashboard area for a true-to-life cycling experience.
When the camera is mounted facing the rider head-on, it clearly captures body movements and delivers a complete view of the riding experience.
One of the advantages of a 360° camera is that it captures everything before framing, so you don’t need to worry about whether the front, back, or angle is perfectly aligned. Simply mount the camera securely on the handlebar, and you’re ready to start recording.
