Insta360 X3 is comfortably the best motorcycle camera out there! This powerful, pocket-sized camera can shoot in super high res 5.7K 360°, with the innovative new Active HDR for unreal details and colors. It can also shoot regular wide-angle footage with 4K Single-Lens mode, so versatility is a given. Add to that a whole bunch of awesome motorcycle mounts and you’re on track for some unreal motorcycle videos. Check out the shots below to see why X3 should be the go-to camera for your next ride!

First, a word on reframing

Reframing is one of the coolest parts about shooting with a 360 camera. If you’re not sure what that is, it’s basically changing where the camera is facing to show off different angles within your video. It’s super easy to do when editing in the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio. You’ll see plenty of examples in the shots to come but here’s one for starters:

Motorcycle Camera Shot: Front View

One thing you’ll notice in these shots is a distinct lack of selfie sticks, extension poles or rods. That’s because Insta360 X3 automatically removes them from the shot! Hence the clean, third person views you’ll see throughout.

For this one, just mount X3 to the front of your bike. This can be done using the Sticky Mount plus Extension Rod, found in the Motorcycle Mount Bundle. Insta360’s legendary FlowState Stabilization technology smooths out the shakes for a super steady shot.

Motorcycle Camera Shot: Tail View

For a sweet, MotoGP style shot, this setup is perfect. Use the Handlebar Mount with our 120cm selfie stick and away you go! You can also use the same gear as the front shot and mount on the passenger seat. And thanks to the easy reframing mentioned previously, you can use this mount to get shots of the view behind the motorcycle too!

Motorcycle Helmet Camera Shot: Helmet Shot

The helmet is of course a prime mounting location. Perfect for capturing epic first person views, as well as cool, forward-facing shots. Just attach to the top of your helmet with a Sticky Mount, then reframe in the app later.

Motorcycle Camera Shot: Handlebar Shot

The versatility of Insta360 X3 is a big part of what makes it the best camera for motorcycling. Mount on the handlebars with (you guessed it) the Handlebar Mount and you can shoot a forward-facing POV in 4K Single-Lens mode, or in regular 360 to capture any angle.

Motorcycle Camera Shot: Tank View

Time to get up close and personal with your X3! A great position to add a different view to your videos, or as an alternative to the other forward-facing setups. Simply apply the sticky mount to your motorcycle’s fuel tank and add an Extension Rod.
