This is a cage that looks and feels tough. It's crafted from aluminum alloy and fits the Insta360 X5 like a glove. All X5 controls and openings are accessible.Of special interest to me is the latching mechanism. I have arthritis and my fingers lack dexterity. A lot cage latches simply defeat me.The latch on this cage is a design gem. It has a double-locking safety mechanism. I'm able to disengage it and then flip open the main latch. I wish every cage and similar device would adopt this system.With two cold-shoe mounts, there's plenty of expansion capability here. There are also two 1/4-20 tripod screw sockets, so you can mount your camera horizontally or vertically or use one or both for further expansion.There's also a magnetic GoPro style mount on the bottom.Two flexible lens protectors are also included.If you're an X5 user, my feeling is that this cage has everything you could want.Jerry

It goes on sale right after I buy it hahaha. So I bought and tried Utility Frame from Insta360 for few days and noticed that left side got bent already due to side having less aluminum without me doing anything and that one was whopping 100+ dollars. Once that gets bend, it is unfixable so I agreed to return it and get something better and I cam across this brand. There was no single review of this and it was risky as heck. I took a chance, ordered it and received it today.First impression:This has dark brown-ish copper finish on the frame with more aluminum metal than the OEM. Instead of having thread in locking mechanism that can break over time, this one has stylish red latch on the left side that I can push down to unlock the big locking latch to unlock it to open it. The both sides are a bit more rounded like on X5 and it fits perfectly. It is kind of off to the side a bit but I think it was designed this way for some strange reason. On the bottom, there is rubber floor that protects the bottom of the camera and to keep it in place. Despite the camera being sort of off from the frame, accessing USB port and battery is a no problem at all.Mostly, you'd have to buy mounts from OEM but thanks to 2 in 1 design, both of metal pieces on the bottom folds down to be used on helmet mounts which is sweet so you are good there with saving some money. This one costs around 11 dollars less than the original frame that bends easily but only time will tell when the bottom folding pieces end up breaking as they are held by tiny rod.Conclusion:Overall, I am happy with my choice on this product and I will update if there is any issues long term of use.
