Getting Poor Low-Light Results from Insta360 X521637

I bought a used Insta360 x5... the test showed not good photos. Dark areas are real dark compared to Ricoh Theta Z1. Is this normal? There's a setting called HDR mode, it's turned on so I expected better.

Honestly, I never liked insta360 in the Matterport ecosystem. Outside of an actual Matterport camera Ricoh’s z1 or theta x are the best 360 cameras to use ~ z1 can struggle with yellowing in some extreme lighting conditions of which I haven’t noticed as much on the theta X but the x is a newer piece of hardware

I dont like the software, but one day I droped mine off a roof from 17’ and no damage. None of my Ricohs survided a 4’ drop.

I've never used anything but Pro 1, Pro 2, Pro 3 for Matterport and never will. However, I'll add the comment that due to Zillow's clash with Matterport, I've been doing more Zillow Tours recently. I've used both the X5 and also the legacy Z1 with the zillow app. Although the X5 captures more detail, higher image resolution, the Z1's HDR still looks better that the X5 for Zillow tours. Gotta hand it to Ricoh. Z1 was first released in Februay of 2019 - SEVEN YEARS AGO - and it's still an image powerhouse. Wish I could persuade Ricoh to outdo themselves with a "Z2". I'd pay a lot for the same quality and higher resolution.

Have you tried the Insta360 with other platforms like Realsee, Zillow, etc? I'm wondering if it could be an issue with Matterport. I have had insta360's for years, currently have the x4 and x5.. no noticeable issues at all with it.

Thanks I did not. Already returned the camera, I thought the dark stuff was totally a problem with the camera images, not with the platform

I am so confused. This isn't the original topic; my previous comment now has nothing to do with the topic.
