First real-world test of the new Insta360 X5 on Saturday’s Lake Michigan shipwreck dives aboard the Molly V!
We visited two classics:
• Milwaukee Car Ferry (100–130 ft)
• Prins Willem V (60–90 ft)
Water temp? A refreshing 39°F on the bottom and 40°F at the surface.
Everything was going perfectly… until my fat dry glove fingers apparently changed the camera mode underwater from video to timelapse/snapshots without me realizing it. LOL
But honestly, it turned into a fun first experiment anyway. I was able to salvage some underwater shots, surface action, diver descents, boat moments, and a few unexpectedly cinematic scenes that I never would have captured with a normal camera setup.
For a first Insta360 attempt:
• dive housing worked
• camera survived
• footage captured
• no leaks
• lessons learned
• success 😄
Here’s the video:
