Just a heads up, I'm a big fan of the insta360 cameras, but they are NOT waterproof.
They're advertised as awesome for all kinds of watersports, but if you go into the insta360 forums, you'll see a ton of people whose cameras stopped working after very little water exposure. Sometimes all it takes is a splash to render these broken. Some people have also complained about them dying while skiing.
Just a heads up for anyone who was looking to purchase this to snorkel or do any other GoPro style videography.
how much cheaper is it actually compared to buying from 360 directly? i have been seeing affliated links that gives the selfie stick for free. So essentially this is getting an extra battery + SD card for $10 less than insta360.com?
From where I live (CA), insta360.com is also tax free compared to Costco. So this deal is like paying $35 dollars more than insta360.com to buy an extra battery + SD card.
I guess costco warranty is better if someone values that.
You are so cheap

I purchased the x3 bundle from the Apple Store for $450 + tax. Only difference is a hard case. I would've considered purchasing from Costco given their return policy. This is a good deal if you're absolutely in the market right now.
Side note: Don't be lazy like me and let footage pile up on sd card unedited.

The Costco warranty is definitely worth the price difference.
