Hugh, You're the BEST REVIEWER of 360 cameras on UKposts. It's because your videos are NOT SPONSORED & the MOST THOROUGH on this subject. For example, in this video you cover low light situation, point out the flaw of the lens guard, compare it to Iphone 15. No other reviewer on UKposts has done that as of today April 16th, 2024. I have made the decision to film with my phone instead of buying this tool after watching your video. We need MORE REVIEWERS LIKE YOU. No wonder, you've got 204K subscribers. I want to HUG you and say THANK YOU for helping me save hundreds of dollars.

It's also my biggest issue with the Evo. My primary use is choir recordings of up to 3 hours. Currently I try to work around it by recording over cable from a Theta V (USB live mode), but that doesn't replace stereo 180. Notably it eventually runs out of charge even with USB power and wireless modes just make that worse.

Thanks Hugh. The amount of time and effort you put into your videos is really second to none! One thing I am wondering is how the X4 compares to the Pro 2?

Pro 2 is still going to be better as the pixels is not spread out in 360 - it divided by 6 piece so it will be light year sharper. I can do a follow comparison but I am very sure Pro 2 is better.

@_Oregon_Sunday_Drives_360 24 дні тому
Hugh are the best .... Thank Hugh. Hugh ALWAYS has the best 'technical' reviews. Hugh always gets the math right when comparing cameras so that we see the best 'apples to apples' comparisons. Whereas some others do not strive for accuracy (e.g. already some bad comparison reviews out there: (1) one with 30p to 60p comparison but uploaded at 30p (so silly), [and then blamed the 30p motion blur on the frame rate instead of the shutter speed]. (2) one with wrong setting to compare side by side "BEST quality" of X4 & RS One 1-inch (but had RS One 1-inch set at 30p and should have known that even though Insta360 calls RS One 1-inch both 6K 24p & 6K 30 as 6k, they are NOT the same res, so ended up comparing best apple to not best orange w X4 at max & RS One at LESS than max, and mismatched reframe crop factors). SO THANK you Hugh, for accurate comparisons! One can tell (e.g. at 10:03) just by looking at the relative position of the circular gravel (hearth?) for each camera that Hugh is showing you the correctly cropped resolution that he says he is for each camera. Thank you. But, what would be really a bonus would be (ex. at 28:40 lens guard vs no lens guard) if you could (in future similar comparisons) also include a seamless slow "frame wipe" comparison of the two side by side shots so that we could even better see if there truly is or is not any difference between the two (e.g. can we see any distortion difference or the seam move or the sharpness or color shift as you wipe left/right). Just a thought for an added comparison technique (only seen right here, that no one else uses). Thank Hugh.

Great to hear! Yes, V5 is even crazier! X4 8K is BETTER than Pro 2. Insta360 might not want me to say it, but their prosumer camera is out matching their professional camera now... We need a Pro 3 in freaking 12K if possible...

@@Kraeuterbutter Depends heavily on the settings, but for many, you can expect a few fps - meaning about 10-20% real time. Although the 360 footage is even slower. My Mac is about 1/3 the speed of an NVIDIA card, so it is definitely something to plan around.

Thank you so much for the amazing work you put in your videos. I’ve been on the edge on buying a 360 camera and I’m worried about the complexity of exporting 360 camera footage to my computer and iPhone. I have major life events happening this year like getting married. So I want to capture those moments so I could relive/replay them in the future. First thing that comes to mind is getting a 360 camera, but I’m worried those footage will remain in the memory card forever because it’s too difficult to digest/edit.
@hughhou 3 дні тому
This is getting relative easy now with X4. For example, my latest tutorial here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/i6SchYKxm22G2Y0.htmlsi=6xRByaBRTprqPT5D - I shot on a 360 camera and just draw a box around me and track the whole way. So I put the camera down, capture it while I am doing other thing without a camera operator or asking anyone to hold the phone for me. Capture it in 8K and then just use AI track it to create all those camera movement you see in this video. Something it is very easy to have these features as content creators that also has a full time job. So with AI, it should get your footage out pretty easy. A computer is recommanded tho but your phone should work as well.

'log' files - are they available so that you can color grade to your own liking? what about manually setting other camera settings such as ISO, sharpness, shutter speed, etc.?
@hughhou 18 днів тому
There is LOG but same as X3 or OneRS 1" - highly not recommended to use as Insta360 LOG is not true log and very bad for grading. All pro UKpostsrs mentioned that in their video. So I will avoid using Insta360 Log.

Hi Hugh, I use the x3 as my main camera on my channel and just got my hands on the x4. How do i fix the massive fisheye with it? in insta360 studio i would use the "natural view" with y x3, but now thats gone and the closest thing i can get is "dewarped" but it's still extremely warped. I am in vegas right now on a trip for my channel, and all the buildings looks look like they are tilted and going to fall over. in the footageIt's awful :(. Do you know anything about this, do you know if "Natureal View" will be be back or how to get it better? Playing around in FCP with the exported footage doesn't help my either.
@hughhou 20 днів тому
It is called MegaView and it is by default. Then you just zoom in. I think there are lots of bugs in current version of Studio app that will be fix in the next version. As what you describe does not show in X3.

Was waiting to get the Canon 8K 3D 360 camera but since there are some events coming up soon to take videos off, I decided to get the X4. Seams like a lot of people are in the same boat who's wanting to buy either the Qoocam 3 ultra or the Canon 3D 360 camera. Perfect timing for Insta360 to release this camera before the other 2.
@hughhou 20 днів тому
Yes indeed. Insta360 came out of the blue. Still a great buy as both Ultra or Canon is gonna be more expensive than the X4. So even someone get the X4, they can still upgrade to later if they decide to.

Do you think the X4 will be able to handle filming driving at night on rural roads?

I just can't get over how small of an improvement it is. But like you said, it's the tool for the job. Low light is something I need and doesn't have it. I also need clarity and in focus around the edges and this is AWFUL at that just like it's older brothers. As a Canon person (7Dmark 1 and 2, Canon 1DX 1/2/3) I am hoping for a Canon version. Ever since you showed us that a few months ago, it got me excited at the prospect of a decent camera. I hate AI novelties and low frill stuff. Give me quality out of camera and a 1 inch sensor with 8k and good lenses optically. Thanks for the full review but since the standard wasn't set very high in the first place there has not been alot of improvement to make this look half good. Thats the issue though it's just good it's not great. Always feels like a money grab with Insta. Just tiny improvements. They could have upgraded the sensors, could have done more than AI - but instead it is very underwhelming.
