AKASO 360 Weatherproof 360 Action Camera - 5.7K 360 Video

Our review of the AKASO 360 action camera finds it best suited for creators who want fully immersive footage without a heavy kit. The single biggest reason to buy is its 5.7K 360 capture combined with large dual sensors, which produce noticeably sharper, more detailed 360 photos and video than many pocketable rivals. Setup is straightforward, the touchscreen makes framing and playback easy in the field, and the camera's software features like Invisible Selfie Stick and 360 Horizon Lock turn casual shoots into polished clips without spending hours editing.

Key Features

• 5.7K 360 Video: Records fully immersive 360 video at high resolution so scenes retain detail when reframed or cropped for flat outputs.
• Dual 1/2" 48MP Sensors: Larger sensors capture more pixels and improved clarity for both video and stills, especially in well-lit conditions.
• 360 Supersmooth Video: In-app stabilization reduces shakes and jitter so handheld action looks much smoother without a gimbal.
• 360 Horizon Lock: Keeps footage level during flips and rotations, producing steady, professional-looking clips.
• Invisible Selfie Stick Effect: Automatically removes the selfie stick from footage to create convincing third-person shots when used with a compatible mount.
• AI Subject Tracking: Tracks and keeps a subject centered, simplifying dynamic shots where framing would otherwise need constant adjustment.

Who It's For

The AKASO 360 is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, action sports participants, and content creators who value immersive 360-degree footage and easy in-camera stabilization. Its combination of high-resolution 5.7K capture and large sensors makes it a strong choice for travel, mountain biking, skiing, and group shots where reframing later is important.

Users who need the longest possible battery runtime for very long shoots, or those who require professional cinema codecs and removable lens options, should consider other dedicated cinema or prosumer rigs. Beginners who only want simple flat 4K footage may find the 360 workflow unnecessary.
