Consumer impact summary

Same as with DJI products, this manufacturer's devices require an initial connection to an proprietary app in order to be usable.

Moreover, certain Insta360 devices, such as the Insta360 X5, feature a persistent notification bar button in the camera’s interface that promotes Insta360+, a paid cloud service, even for non-subscribers. This practice has been criticized as embedded advertising, potentially pressuring users to subscribe and limiting control over the device’s interface.
