Why the $99 Invisible Dive Case for Insta360 X3 is a must-have

$99 invisible dive case for Insta360 X3

If you have any interest at all in shooting underwater videos or photos with a 360 camera, then stop reading this and get the new $99 invisible dive case while it’s available.  Here’s why it’s a must-have accessory:

Until now, in order to get a totally invisible dive case for a 360 camera, you needed a professional dive case such as 360bubble Deep, which costs GBP4,000 (around $5,107).  Now, Insta360 has made it possible to get a completely invisible dive case for just $99, a price that is unheard of for high quality underwater 360 video accessories.  Even if you don’t have an Insta360 X3 (reviewed here), getting one just to be able to use the new invisible dive case actually makes sense, compared to purchasing a much more expensive professional dive case that is not totally invisible to the camera.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. What is the depth rating of the new invisible dive case?
    50 meters or about 164 feet.
  2. Can I use the invisible dive case with a selfie stick?
    Yes.  It includes a GoPro mount.  If you want to use it with a 1/4-20 tripod, you can use a GoPro to 1/4-20 adapter.
  3. Can I get the new invisible stitching with the old dive case?
    No.  For the new invisible underwater stitching, you need the new invisible dive case.
  4. Can I use the new invisible dive case above water or would I need to remove the camera first?
    You can use the new invisible dive case above water.  There is a stitch setting for it.
  5. The case doesn’t look invisible on my PC!
    Check the stitching settings and make sure you choose “invisible dive case” instead of “dive case.”
  6. I don’t see a stitching option for “invisible dive case”.
    Make sure to update your app to the latest one.  You should also update Insta360 Studio to version 4.8.4 or above.

CONCLUSION; WHERE TO BUY

Although there have been a few professional dive cases that could invisibly capture a 360 video underwater, the Insta360 Invisible Dive Case is the first affordable invisible dive case for consumers.  If you are into underwater videos or photos, it’s a no-brainer.  The invisible dive case is available by itself for $99 or as a kit with the X3 directly from Insta360.  Thanks for using these affiliate links at no cost to you so I can do more tests and reviews.

  • Were you ever able to get your hands on a RICOH THETA TW-2? I know it’s more expensive, but I just want to know what the quality of the underwater shot is with the THETA TW-2. I know that the THETA X has a setting to reduce the visibility of the dive case, but I’ve never been able to talk to anyone that tested the RICOH TW-2 case.

    Also, for the Insta360 X3, did you notice good color compensation underwater at depth?
