AKASO 360 360° Action Camera with 5.7K 360° Video, 72MP Photos & Touchscreen
Product description
The essentials
If you want a true 360° action camera rather than a normal wide-angle camera, the AKASO 360-360° is built around that idea: record immersive 5.7K 360° video and take 72MP 360° photos, then use AI tools to help with framing. It’s also designed to be usable on the move, with a 2.29" touchscreen for controlling settings and previewing what you’ve captured.
On paper, it sits in the “serious enough for most people” bracket: you’re getting modern features like AI tracking/reframing, in-app stabilisation, and horizon keeping. That said, there are a couple of real-world caveats to consider—especially around what “invisible selfie stick” means and what you can expect from stabilisation and AI when the action gets chaotic.
What you’ll notice in use
This type of camera lives or dies on ease of capturing. Here, the workflow is aimed at reducing the pressure of getting the perfect shot while you’re actually doing the activity.
A practical example: imagine you’re cycling and you hit record. Instead of trying to frame the rider perfectly in real time, you can focus on the ride, then later pick the best angles thanks to AI tracking & reframing. The camera’s AI tracking is designed to lock onto your subject for more centred results—useful if your hands are busy or you’re not always positioned where you’d like.
For motion-heavy moments, the pitch is straightforward: 360° SuperSmooth stabilisation aims to smooth out shakes and jitters, and 360° Horizon Lock is meant to keep footage level even when you flip or spin. It won’t turn every hard impact into “cinema”, but it can help your clips look more watchable straight away.
Key features that actually matter
The AKASO focuses on three things people usually want from a 360 action camera: immersion, stability, and the ability to share without turning it into a long post-production project.
- 5.7K immersive 360° video and 72MP 360° photos using dual 1/2" 48MP sensors (so it’s positioned for detailed captures rather than purely casual 360 footage).
- AI Tracking & Reframing, so you can shoot first and choose angles afterwards—helpful when you can’t “compose” mid-action.
- 360° Horizon Steady via Horizon Lock to help keep footage level.
- 2.29" touchscreen for quicker setup, changing settings, and previewing 360° content.
Audio is also covered with dual built-in microphones and a wind-shield, which matters if you’ll be filming outdoors in breezy conditions.

Where it shines—and where it may not be the best match
This camera makes the most sense if you like the idea of 360° filming but don’t want the whole experience to feel technical. The “shoot first, reframe later” approach is a strong fit if you’re out doing activities and want a simpler path to shareable clips.
Worth considering if: - you want 360° video and photos, not just a standard action camera look - you value an on-device workflow with touchscreen control - you film outdoors and want splash resistance and wind-aware audio - you plan to do solo filming where the perspective matters
You may want to skip it if: - you’re expecting the “invisible selfie stick” effect without understanding it needs an invisible selfie stick sold separately - you need guaranteed professional-level tracking in every scenario—AI helps, but fast, messy motion can still produce imperfect results on any tracking system - your priority is ultra-smooth stabilisation above all else, it’s designed to improve shake, but extreme movement can still challenge even advanced algorithms
Buying verdict
Is it worth it?
It’s a solid pick if you specifically want a 360° action camera and you like the idea of AI reframing—because it reduces the need to get everything perfectly framed while you’re in the moment. The touchscreen, Horizon Lock and SuperSmooth stabilisation are also practical touches for making your footage easier to live with straight away.
It may not be the best match if your main goal is third-person/“drone-like” perspectives and you don’t plan to buy the required invisible selfie stick separately. And if you’re the type of person who expects zero compromise in the hardest action conditions, it’s worth tempering expectations: the features aim to help, but they can’t replace good positioning and calmer motion.
