A Candid Review of Insta360 Customer Support and Product Experience As a passionate camera enthusiast for nearly a decade, I’ve explored the art of photography through various lenses, from DSLRs to action cameras. My journey has been driven by a quest for reliable and unbiased results across numerous brands. Recently, my curiosity was piqued by the 360-degree camera market, particularly due to the Insta360 brand’s vigorous marketing efforts targeting influencers. Motivated by this interest, I decided to purchase an Insta360 camera directly from their website. Unfortunately, my initial two orders were canceled due to logistical issues, yet the company continued to entice me with promotional emails. On my third attempt, the order was successful. Eager to test the camera, I chose the Insta360 X3 for a skiing trip in the Nordics, complemented by a ski pole mount designed to enhance the 360-degree filming experience. However, I encountered my first issue when the mount’s thread was loose, posing a risk to my camera. Unable to secure it, I opted not to use the mount for the remainder of the trip and instead used a standard action selfie stick. The real disappointment came when edit Insta360 x3 footage I took during my trip. The stitching quality of both HDR pictures and 360 videos was subpar with visible stitching issue made most of the footage useless, prompting me to request a return within the eligible window. The customer service team initially acknowledged the issue and requested evidence, which I provided in a detailed report. After a few days without updates, I inquired again, only to be met with repetitive questions from the pre-sales team, who seemed unaware of my previous communications. Eventually, my complaint reached the technical team, who asked for additional evidence from the camera. Despite complying with their request, another week passed without any response. Today, I received a generic suggestion to update the Insta360 app and retry, which was a frustrating conclusion to a week-long wait without any substantial analysis of the provided evidence. In summary, while the Insta360 product may have potential, the customer support experience has been a significant deterrent. It appears that the company allocates a substantial portion of its budget to marketing and influencer partnerships, leaving actual users without adequate support for their products. Based on my experience, I advise caution when considering this company and its offerings. The lack of effective customer support is a considerable concern that potential buyers should be aware of.

Be aware!! $26 shipping for the repair [Update] After they sent me a repair quote, I asked Insta360 customer service to throw my camera away because I did not want to pay an extra $50 for the camera I bought for $150, which is still under warranty. After exchanging a couple of emails, they offered free repair and shipping. They sincerely apologize for my frustration. I hope they improve the repair policy and process and provide fair support before losing the customers. [Original review] I requested a repair within the warranty period. They charge me $21 for the repair and $26 for the shipping. Their warranty does not mean anything. I will never purchase any products from Insta360 for sure. If you expect good customer support, this company is not the one you should give a try. I seriously recommend avoiding Insta360.

Insta360 great customer service!!! My girlfriend bought me an Insta360 X3 for my birthday. Unfortunately the one I received had a damaged thumb screw. It took a week to investigate the issue and but Insta360 did their best to make sure they meet my expectations. They immediately send me a new one. That is what I call good customer service!

Insta 360 X3 Insta 360 X3 Great camera and the app is easy to use. Stitching for the 360 is usually very good just be mindful how you mount the camera for best results. I've used for motorcycling, mountain biking, skiing and general holiday stuff Bad experiences: Do not use underwater without a specific case it is not waterproof. I used mine for the 1st time on holiday in a swimming pool less than 1.2m deep and now it's not working. The battery and USB has an orange bar which must not be visible to ensure it is closed properly. Checked this before using and the water did get inside. I now need to submit a warranty claim which means sending off to Hong Kong which is annoying. I'll now be without the camera for several weeks. I'll feedback how this process works and I'd like to expect a replacement given its advertised as waterproof. Please buy a waterproof case if you plan to use in water!!!

Great shopping, support and shipping experience. Have bought through this site several times. The items are sent from China but custom expenses are included. No problems when sending to Denmark and the shipping time has been exceptional. I got my orders within days and at the announced date. I have also had dialogues with the support which I found first class. People keep commenting their view on the product that they have bought. I think that it is out of scope within Trustpilot. I can generally say that I find the products of a VERY high quality. I highly recommend the site.
