Holiday Gift Guide 2024: Cameras and Gear For Everyone

If you're like us, as soon as the last trick-or-treater graces your front door on Hallowe'en, Christmas time begins. The tree is up, the lights are lit (in more ways than one) and the goose is getting fat—but that leaves the hard part: gifts!

Stumped about what to buy for your loved ones? Don't worry; we'll be your Secret Santa. In this guide, we'll help you narrow down our massive range and find that perfect gift that will truly make someone smile this holiday season.

For the gadget lover—X4

We all know someone who can't resist tinkering with top tech, and Insta360 X4 is exactly the gift for them. Our flagship camera is bursting with features that are out of this world. You can shoot 8K 360° with the dual 1/2" lenses, get 4K video in ultra-wide 170° with a single lens, and get cinematic slow-mo by shooting in up to 100fps.

When you combine all this with the wide range of transitions and edits available on the Insta360 app, you truly can create footage that is totally personalized. Plus, it's rugged, waterproof to 33ft (10m) as standard, and has Corning® Gorilla® glass protecting the screen, meaning you can go wild and take it anywhere!

For the all-action filmmaker—Ace Pro

Co-engineered with industry-leading lens manufacturer Leica, Insta360 Ace Pro is our premium action camera and built from the ground up with serious filmmakers in mind. It's ruggedized on the outside and smart on the inside: the Active HDR and the 5nm AI chip-powered PureVideo mode work together to create vibrant footage day or night—or even underwater.

Ace Pro also has a 2.4" flip touchscreen for setting up shots from difficult angles and then, when it's in the can, replaying your masterpiece. It's enough to turn a budding Spielberg into a certified Oscar winner.

For the traveler—GO 3S

When you give the jet setter in your life Insta360 GO 3S, they'll never put it down. In fact, they may never even pick it up! At only 39.1g, it weighs about as much as a lightbulb, and it has a magnetic base that seamlessly links to our custom-designed mounts. Hang it around your neck with the Magnet Pendant, tap record, and it'll capture your POV in wide-angle 4K without you even knowing it's there. It's essential for those vacations you'll want to replay over, and over, and over.

But it isn't only for human adventurers, it's purrr-fect for pets too. Attach GO 3S to our Pet Harness Mount to see how your furry friend views the world. Just what is it your dog loves to chase when you go for a walk? Where does your cat spend their afternoon siestas? This is how you find out.

For the remote worker—Link 2/2C

Link 2 and 2C are clutch for those who work from home or do distance learning. The visual fidelity that turned a perhaps dank—maybe even spotless—bedroom into a streaming studio will also ensure that you can attend virtual meetings with lifelike confidence. There's even the Smart Whiteboard Mode which enhances the visibility and legibility of your presentations, perfect for online classes and brainstorming sessions.

But that's not to say Link 2 and 2C aren't fun too. Be it gaming, vlogging, try-on hauls—mukbangs—everyone knows someone sharing their hobbies and interests online. Now they can do that in 4K with DSLR-level lighting and focus effects. The accompanying software is packed with filters and effects that will catch you in your best light, even if the only source is a monitor's glow.

There's a variety of virtual backgrounds and intelligent audio options to make sure you're the center of attention. And, don't worry about privacy. When you're done, Link 2 will automatically tilt downwards on its gimbal, and Link 2C has an incredibly satisfying shutter that you can manually toggle. 

For the person who has everything—Insta360 Accessories

The most frustrating person during the holiday season is the one who already has everything they could possibly ever want. This year, let Insta360 do the hard work. We have dozens of accessories that can combine with our cameras to not just enhance the user experience, but take it in brand new directions. Here are a few of our top suggestions:

Extended Selfie Stick: It may be called the "Extended" selfie stick, but in reality, this is the "Ultimate" selfie stick. It's a compact 36cm when retracted, but with a seriously satisfying flick of the wrist, it stretches to 3 meters, a range that turns your selfies into cinemascope

Invisible Selfie Stick: Outwardly, it looks like any other selfie stick on the market, but when used with one of our 360° action cameras, it produces content that many describe as impossible. The AI in the X4 and X3 deletes it from any footage you make, allowing you to get drone-style third-person shots without any of the cumbersome tech.

Portable Charging Case: This isn't as flashy as our other options, but what it lacks in features, it makes up for in sheer usefulness. Though barely 13cm (5in) long, the case can repeatedly charge two batteries (for Insta360 Ace Pro 2/Ace Pro or Insta360 X4/X3) and store two microSD memory cards. It'll keep even the keenest content makers going for a full day of filming.

Snow Kit: Want a Christmas gift that matches the season? This bundle contains everything you'll need to hit the slopes Insta360 style. It includes a selection of mounts that attach to your chest and helmet so you can record intense downhill POVs without worrying about damaging your camera. To get epic third-person views, try the lightweight and balanced Ski Pole Mount.

Dive Case: There's maybe no better way to show off your Insta360 camera than with underwater filming. Our cameras are waterproof as standard, but with one of these, the range is doubled and the optical lens guarantees complete clarity.

What's even better, is there's a case for all our cameras, so if you want 8K360° diving footage from your X4 or want to beat James Cameron at his own game with an Ace Pro, we've got you covered!

Bike Kit: Cycling cameras are all the rage right now and our Bike Kit will get you in on the action. It comes with both a helmet and chest mount, which are great for getting videos of your favorite trails. For a more immersive ride, add the Bike Computer Mount. It's a more convenient way to use your fitness tracker and Insta360 camera at the same time.

If we can be serious for a moment, the Bike Kit is also essential for commuters; if something happens on your way to or from work, you'll always have an impartial witness. 

If that's not enough, check our store to see our entire range. Happy hunting—happy holidays!
