Insta360x3 camera

[Tev62]

I've been thinking about whether this camera with the selfie stick could be used as a 360 dash cam.
I'm not interested in creating content - but as a dash cam was wondering if the 360 camera could be the one solution which monitors all directions. Would only need to pull out content if an incident occurred.
Mixagon/Tev62, would this camera be overkill to use as a dashcam?

So you would need to mount it over your head for a full uninterrupted 360 image, perhaps a pole off the rear rack. You would have to have a remote power pack or wire off the bike as they are heavy on power. The X3 would support 18hours of footage at its standard 360 resolution when you fit the maximum 1TB card which will be a little dear. You cannot lower that resolution so fitting smaller 128GB cards would be a bit limiting. You might perhaps be able to roll footage and overwrite on a full card, that is something I have not tried. That is common on a Go Pro.

So yes, doable but I would say an expensive solution compared to some of the dedicated front/rear mounted dedicated systems.
