Quick picks for Houses360 users
For Houses360, the most important requirement is simple: the camera should export standard 360 panoramic photos that can be uploaded into a tour. Remote triggering, tripod mounting, phone transfer, and dependable exposure matter more than flashy features you will not use at a listing.

Insta360 X5
Agents who want a strong mobile workflow for repeat listing work.
- Good fit when image quality and fast phone transfer both matter.
- Works well for room-by-room capture when paired with a compact tripod or monopod.
- A sensible premium option if you expect to shoot many listings.
Watch: Premium cameras can be more than a new user needs. Test one full capture, export, upload, and publish flow before standardizing on it.
Insta360 X4 Air
Agents who want a compact 360 camera with a phone-first capture and transfer workflow.
- Useful when portability and a simple listing-day kit matter.
- Works well for room-by-room capture when paired with a compact tripod or monopod.
- A good fit for agents who want the Insta360 workflow without always choosing the top model.
Watch: Confirm the exact model and export settings before buying, then test one upload into Houses360 before using it on a live listing.
Ricoh THETA
Agents who prefer a purpose-built 360 camera with straightforward capture and transfer habits.
- Designed around still 360 capture, which fits property tour scenes well.
- A good match for agents who want fewer action-camera style distractions.
- Useful when a repeatable, simple listing-day process matters most.
Watch: As with any camera, check the mobile app, transfer steps, and indoor exposure in your own lighting conditions.
GoPro MAX
Teams that also want a durable camera for outdoor, rental, or general marketing media.
- Useful if your team already knows the GoPro workflow.
- Can double as a rugged field camera beyond interior tour scenes.
- A practical backup or secondary camera for mixed media needs.
Watch: For indoor real estate scenes, compare still-photo output and transfer workflow against more real-estate-focused 360 cameras.
DJI Osmo 360
Agents or teams already comfortable with DJI mobile capture workflows.
- A useful option when your field kit already includes DJI gear.
- Works best when you confirm the app export produces full 360 panoramic files.
- Can fit a phone-first capture and upload process for Houses360 tours.
Watch: DJI makes many Osmo cameras. Confirm the model you buy is a true 360 camera and not only a standard action camera.
AKASO 360
Agents testing a lower-cost 360 capture workflow before investing in a premium camera.
- Can be a practical starter option if it exports full 360 panoramic photos.
- Best for users who want to test the complete workflow before buying higher-end gear.
- Pairs well with a simple room-by-room checklist and careful previewing.
Watch: AKASO sells standard action cameras too. For Houses360 room scenes, make sure you choose a true 360 camera export.
What to buy with the camera
- A compact tripod or monopod that keeps the camera level and near chest height.
- Extra batteries or a charging plan for larger homes.
- Lens cloths, because fingerprints on a 360 lens show up quickly.
- A phone with enough storage for camera transfers and uploads.
- A small case so the lens does not get scratched between rooms.
