No. 10 of 10 in our [action cameras ranking](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **8.1 out of 10** The AKASO 360 is a 180g dual-lens camera that records 5.7K 360 video and lets you choose the framing afterwards. It suits beginners who want to try 360 filming and don't need to swim with it. Why it's here: - 5.7K 360 video and 72MP 360 photos - Horizon lock and AI tracking for reframing - Touchscreen and a light 180g body - A far lower price than Insta360's 360 cameras Keep in mind: - Not waterproof for swimming, so keep it away from water - Battery lasts about an hour at the top setting - App can lag, and editing and transfers are slow - Image quality falls behind Insta360 in poor light [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FDG5TGPM) ## Why the AKASO 360 scores 8.1 - How happy owners are: 10th of 10 - How many rated it: 9th of 10 - How new it is: 5th of 10 ### Why it sits behind the Insta360 X4 Air The Insta360 X4 Air (8.4) beats the AKASO 360 (8.1) because it leaves owners a little happier. ## About the AKASO 360 The AKASO 360 has two 1/2-inch 48MP sensors with an f/2.25 aperture. It records 360 video up to 5.7K at 30 frames a second and takes 72MP and 18MP 360 photos, with DNG RAW as an option. A single-lens mode records up to 2.8K at 60 frames a second. Stabilisation comes in two forms, 360 Horizon Steady and View Lock Steady, and AI subject tracking can follow a person or object when you reframe. The body measures 109.8 x 46.9 x 30.8mm and has a 2.29-inch touchscreen, two microphones for stereo sound and a 1/4-inch mounting point. The invisible selfie stick effect hides a stick from the finished video, and the stick itself comes only in the Creator Combo. Wi-Fi is dual-band and Bluetooth is BLE 4.2. Footage is finished in the AKASO 360 app (iOS and Android, no registration) or in AKASO 360 Studio on Windows and Mac. Raw files from the card are fisheye footage, so one of these is needed to produce a usable video. The Standard Combo comes with two batteries, a USB-C cable, lens cloth, pouch and quick start guide. The Creator Combo has three batteries, a charging case, the invisible selfie stick, pouch, cable, cloth and guide. The brand lists the camera as weatherproof but gives no waterproof rating. ### Key specs - Video: 360 up to 5.7K at 30fps; 4K up to 60fps; single-lens up to 2.8K at 60fps - Photos: 72MP and 18MP 360 photos, JPG and DNG RAW - Sensors: Dual 1/2-inch 48MP CMOS, f/2.25 - Screen: 2.29-inch touchscreen - Battery: 1350mAh, about 60 minutes of 5.7K at 30fps per the brand - Storage: microSD up to 512GB - Weight: 180g - Size: 109.8 x 46.9 x 30.8mm - Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C - Water resistance: Weatherproof; no IP rating given ## What owners report about the AKASO 360 We found little owner feedback for this exact model on UK retailers or forums, so we have not reported what owners say. ## Who the AKASO 360 suits The AKASO 360 suits someone new to 360 filming who wants to shoot first and frame afterwards, for example on a bike, motorbike or walk, without paying for a premium 360 camera. It is light, and the two or three batteries in the box cover a day out. Daylight is where the independent reviews found it works best. Look elsewhere if you want to film in the water, as it is only weatherproof, or if you shoot indoors or at dusk often. Reviewers found low-light footage soft and noisy, and found the app and exports slow. Insta360 X4 Air is the better fit if image quality and app polish matter more than saving money. GoPro HERO13 Black or DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro suit rougher, wetter use. ## Questions about the AKASO 360 ### How do I connect the AKASO 360 to my computer? Install AKASO 360 Studio for Windows 10 (22H2 or later) or macOS Monterey 12 or later, then bring your footage in from the microSD card or the camera. Card files are raw fisheye footage, so Studio is needed to stitch them. ### What app does the AKASO 360 use? The AKASO 360 uses the free AKASO 360 app for iOS 13 or later and Android 9 or later. It needs no registration and handles remote control, preview, editing and downloads. ### Is the AKASO 360 waterproof? No. The brand calls it weatherproof and gives no IP rating, so we would not use it in water without a case. ### What memory card does the AKASO 360 need? A microSD card up to 512GB. AKASO's support page recommends UHS-I V30 or U3 or faster, formatted as exFAT. ### How long does the AKASO 360 battery last? About 60 minutes of 5.7K at 30fps per battery, according to AKASO. Visordown measured about 55 minutes. ## All 10 action cameras, compared | No. | Product | Score | Badge | | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | | 1 | [GoPro HERO13 Black](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/gopro-hero13-black/) | 9.0 | Best Choice | | 2 | [DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/dji-osmo-action-5-pro/) | 8.8 | | | 3 | [Insta360 Ace Pro 2](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/insta360-ace-pro-2/) | 8.7 | Best Premium | | 4 | [DJI Osmo Nano Standard Combo](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/dji-osmo-nano/) | 8.6 | | | 5 | [GoPro HERO (2024) CHDHF-131](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/gopro-hero-chdhf-131/) | 8.5 | Value for Money | | 6 | [AKASO Brave 7 LE](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/akaso-brave-7-le/) | 8.5 | Best Budget | | 7 | [Insta360 GO Ultra](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/insta360-go-ultra/) | 8.5 | | | 8 | [DJI Osmo Action 6](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/dji-osmo-action-6/) | 8.4 | | | 9 | [Insta360 X4 Air](https://vettedten.com/tech/action-cameras/insta360-x4-air/) | 8.4 | | | 10 | **AKASO 360** (this review) | 8.1 | | ## How we score it Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 11 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
