INSTA360 MINI Remote for X5, X4, ACE PRO 2, GO 3S Action Camera

The Insta360 Mini Remote is a fantastic little accessory that adds a lot of convenience to your shooting setup. It’s small, lightweight, and pairs easily via Bluetooth with cameras like the Insta360 X5, X4, Ace Pro, and others. Setup is quick, and once connected, it allows you to start/stop recording and take photos from up to 33 feet (10 meters) away2. The magnetic base and included straps make it easy to mount on handlebars, selfie sticks, or even your wrist, which is perfect for action sports or vlogging on the go3. The 360° rotating base is a nice touch, giving you flexibility in positioning. Battery life is solid, and the remote stays connected reliably during use. It’s especially useful when your camera is mounted out of reach—like on a helmet, car, or drone rig. Plus, it frees up your phone for other tasks, which is a big win for creators who multitask. If you’re looking for a simple, affordable, and effective remote control for your Insta360 camera, this one is a no-brainer. It’s not overloaded with features, but it nails the basics—and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.

I love the Insta360 ecosystem, and this remote certainly lives up to my expectations. I have used it with both my Go Ultra and X5 cameras. Pairing the remote was easy, and I was impressed with the Bluetooth range. One of my favorite features is that the remote's LED flashes red when it's in recording mode.

Excellent, works perfectly. Turns camera on with a long press and then stop n start recording with a simple click

Remote not connecting to camera via Bluetooth and tried numerous fixes recommended by Google AI!

Great addition, now I don't have to pull over to turn the camera on/off when riding. I'm not sure about battery life and the manual clearly states NOT water proof and to keep it dry, even says to avoid wiping with a wet cloth. I'm interested to see how long the battery lasts but it functions well, is very simple and turns on the X4 from complete sleep with a double tap of the button. The handle bar mount is a simple rubber band so I'm not sure how that'll hold up but it seems to be a great value for the money!

I wanted a remote to trigger the camera while it is mounted outside of the vehicle. This activates video or photo mode. It toggles between front facing or rear facing. It also toggles between one camera vs two camera (360 degree effect). One criticism I have is that the charging port cover is a challenge to put into place. It does come with 2 elastic bands to affix the remote onto a large 3m or a smaller 1m selfie stick. There is a status light that notifies you when it is on or recording. You can also power up or power down the camera and remote by prolonged depressing the button. This is only a one button remote. Size is convenient and compact but it can be a negative as it could get potentially lost. Battery life has been respectable as I have used it for a few hours without recharging it. It’s a solid simplified remote system. I use this on an Insta360 X5. I’m pleased with it. Sometimes, I have to pair it again. After shutting it off and then on, again. If the battery is removed from the camera it will have to be paired again, through the menu system.

Thing works perfect. Just make sure you have your input 360 turned on before powering up the remote and it’ll work every time. I have an attached to my handlebars where I can easily just click the button, but it is also magnetized so you can stick it to your gas tank for any other place. It won’t get pushed off.

Poorly designed to wear it around the wrist or attach to the insta selfie stick. Remote works good but carrying it is a pain. Should come with selfie mount with magnetic base or something.

Great product. Works well with the insta360 X5. Bought it because it makes it easy to control the camera when mounted on the selfie stick. Quick connection with the camera... and you can use it to turn the camera on and off.

Todo perfecto. Rápido envío y el funcionamiento esperado

Awesome piece of kit if you have an Insta camera. Absolutely tiny! Was a bit concerned that because of its size that I might lose it as it was destined to sit on the handlebars of my motorcycle but fitted securely and was not an issue. Switched the camera on remotely as well as using to start/stop recording. Highly recommended and worth the extra over some other generic brand.

Ich nutze die Insta360 X5 auf meinem Motorrad. Anfangs habe ich versucht, die Kamera primär über die Sprach- und Gestensteuerung zu bedienen. Das hat in der Praxis leider nur teilweise funktioniert – besonders bei der Gestensteuerung brauchte es oft mehrere Versuche. Das ständige Kontrollieren, ob die X5 nun wirklich aufnimmt oder nicht, lenkt beim Fahren einfach viel zu sehr ab und stellt aus meiner Sicht ein echtes Sicherheitsrisiko dar. Deshalb habe ich mir diese Mini-Fernbedienung zugelegt, und das war die beste Entscheidung für mein Setup. Starten, Aufnehmen und Ausschalten funktionieren jetzt auf Knopfdruck absolut zuverlässig. Ein riesiger Vorteil im Alltag: Man spart enorm viel Akku und Speicherkapazität auf der MicroSD-Karte, da es keine unnötigen Aufnahmelaufzeiten mehr gibt, weil die Kamera den Stopp-Befehl per Geste mal wieder nicht erkannt hat. Neben dem massiven Plus an Sicherheit und der vollen Konzentration auf die Straße, lässt sich die kleine Fernbedienung auch super praktisch an den verschiedenen Insta-Selfie-Sticks nutzen. Mein Tipp zur Befestigung (siehe Bilder): Da die mitgelieferte Standardbefestigung für meine Bedürfnisse am Motorrad nicht optimal war, habe ich etwas improvisiert. Ich habe mir einen kleinen, schlichten Schubladengriff aus dem Baumarkt besorgt und diesen mittels eines starken doppelseitigen Klebepads stabil oben auf dem Gehäuse meines Carpuride W602BS (CarPlay f. BMW-Motorrad) befestigt. Die Insta360 Mini-Fernbedienung wurde dann ganz einfach mit zwei Kabelbindern bombenfest an diesem Griff fixiert. So ist die Fernbedienung immer perfekt im Sichtfeld, quasi direkt beim Navigationsgerät, ohne das Cockpit zusätzlich zu überladen. Fazit: Wer die Kamera beim Fahren bedienen will, kommt an der Fernbedienung kaum vorbei. Für die Sicherheit und gegen die Ablenkung extrem sinnvoll investiertes Geld – besonders, wenn man sich eine so geniale Halterung basteln kann!

インスタ360X5に自撮り棒。最初はくるくる回していましたが確実性が低いときも結構あるので引き寄せて本体操作していました。 ミニリモコンは自撮り棒に付けると操作性がいいのと収まりがいいので多少高額とは思いますが純正を買ってよかったです。 自撮り棒にワイヤレスマイクを併用しているのなら、リモコンはあった方が絶対いいです。 バイクで頑張らないと手が届かない場所に設置していますが、ミニリモコンをハンドル回りに付けたおかげで安全運転で撮影できています。 Oリングが一本しか入ってこないので30mm外径 25mm内径 2.5mm幅位の安いの買って予備を念のため持ち歩いています。
