AKASO 360-360° Action Camera with 5.7K 360° video, 72MP photos & touchscreen (includes 128GB microSD)
Product description
What it is and the use case
The AKASO 360-360° Action Camera is a 360° action camera aimed at people who want immersive footage without the usual hassle of lining up a shot perfectly. Instead of committing to one angle while you’re moving, you can record first and then rely on the camera’s AI tools to help you reframe around your subject afterwards.
On paper, the appeal is clear: you get 5.7K immersive 360° video and 72MP 360° photos, plus stabilisation features designed to smooth motion for action situations. There’s also a 2.29" touchscreen for framing and navigating settings, and the body is splash-resistant for wet weather sessions.
A practical way to picture it: imagine you’re skateboarding or cycling with a friend. You hit record, keep going for a short clip, then later choose the most flattering, centred view where the action actually happened—rather than trying to nail the “perfect” composition in the moment.
Key takeaways on image and framing
The headline specs here are 5.7K 360° video and 72MP 360° photos, supported by dual 1/2" 48MP sensors (as described). That combination is for people who want both video and high-detail stills from the same camera, especially when the scene is bigger than a normal action-cam frame.
The biggest workflow difference is AI tracking and reframing. The idea is that you don’t have to “shoot perfectly”—you can record, then select a better angle later, with AI tracking intended to lock onto your subject for more professional-looking, centred shots.
Worth noting, though: AI can only track reliably what it can see, and performance often depends on lighting and how clearly the subject stands out from the background. If you’re planning very chaotic, low-light, or fast side-to-side movement, it may not always lock on exactly as you’d hope.
Where the camera really helps in motion
For action footage, stabilisation matters more than people think. This model uses 360° supersmooth stabilisation (described as advanced in-app algorithms) and a 360° horizon lock to keep footage level when you flip or spin.
In everyday use, this translates to less “jitter” when you’re riding over bumps, running, or taking dynamic angles. It’s also positioned as a camera that can give smooth results even without a gimbal—handy if your setup is meant to be quick to grab and go.
As ever with stabilisation, it can’t turn every extreme movement into a cinematic shot. If you’re doing ultra-aggressive motion, you may still notice some limitations compared with a more purpose-built stabilised setup.
Audio, controls, and the 2.29" touchscreen
You’re not just relying on visuals. The camera includes dual built-in microphones with a wind-shield, which should help keep audio clearer in breezier outdoor conditions.
For control, the 2.29" touchscreen is there to frame shots, change settings, and preview 360° content. That’s a meaningful convenience for 360 cameras, because it can be easier to confirm what’s actually captured before you move on to the next take.
One small limitation to keep in mind: the touchscreen will only be as usable as the conditions—if you’re wearing gloves or shooting in harsh sun, you might still prefer your usual outdoor filming habits and check settings between takes.
Adventure time and what’s included
Battery life is often the difference between capturing the full moment and stopping early. This kit includes two batteries, described as providing up to 120 minutes of runtime (around 60 minutes per battery under typical use).
There’s also a 128GB microSD card included. That’s a practical inclusion because 360 video can eat storage faster than expected, and it removes one common “extra purchase” step.
Invisible selfie stick effect (and a key buying caveat)
One of the more distinctive features is the “invisible selfie stick effect”, which creates third-person or drone-like perspectives while you film yourself—then makes the selfie stick disappear in your footage.
However, there’s an important caveat in the description: the invisible selfie stick is sold separately. So if your plan includes filming solo from a stick-based angle, it’s worth factoring that additional accessory into your overall buying decision. Without it, you may not get the exact perspective and editing-free “disappearing stick” result that the feature is about.

Should you buy it?
It makes sense to buy the AKASO 360-360° camera if you want immersive 360° footage and you’d rather reframe after recording than spend every second perfecting the angle in real time. The AI tracking and reframing concept fits well with active, mixed scenes where the subject may move around and you still want centred, shareable results.
It might not be a great match if you’re only after standard “point-and-shoot” action-cam simplicity, because 360 workflows can take a bit of adjustment. Also, if invisible selfie-stick perspectives are central to your plans, remember the selfie stick is sold separately, so you’ll need to budget for that.
A solid approach: check whether your typical shooting conditions (light, subject visibility, motion style) align with the type of tracking you expect from AI, and whether you’re comfortable experimenting with reframing after the fact.
Mini FAQ
How does AI tracking and reframing work?
The camera is designed to lock onto your subject using AI tracking so you can reframe after recording, aiming for more centred shots. The exact reliability will depend on what the camera can see clearly in your scene.
Is the selfie stick included?
No. The invisible selfie stick effect is mentioned as requiring a selfie stick sold separately.
Does it come with storage?
Yes, a 128GB microSD card is included.
Is it safe to use in wet weather?
It’s described as splash-resistant, which suggests it’s intended for rain and snow conditions to a point, though it’s still wise to avoid treating it like a fully submersible device.
Is stabilisation good enough for fast action?
The stabilisation features (360° SuperSmooth and 360° Horizon Lock) are built for action and aim to reduce shake and keep footage level. For the most extreme movement, you may still notice some limits compared with more specialised setups.
