Hey Chaps! What do you think of the Insta360 X4?? LAUNCH DEAL: Buy Insta360 X4 & 1st 50 orders get a FREE invisible selfie stick! - bit.ly/4aOIpCW

I must say. You're my favorite UKpostsr tech reviewer now. The quality of videos, the non biased reviews. Your honest opinion on the thing you're reviewing. Makes me feel like I have the product myself. Great work. Keep it up!

Totally agree, Chap. As a sports lover myself I can't really see myself using a traditional action camera with a fixed POV anymore. Having the flexibility of 360 footage is just so liberating in post... Also now that 8K is here, I'm really convinced to finally only bring ONE camera to all of my trips. Great stuff! And I'm really glad they finally brought us 60 FPS at a reasonable quality. Can't wait to see the slow mo shots.

I find it very suspect that none of the major influencers are comparing the X4 to the 1-inch. I do not think Insta360 wants that comparison to happen. This camera seems to be marketed using the 8K resolution it has and not the fact that it's the exact same sensor in the X3. I bought the X4 and have the 1-inch and I can say without a doubt that I am keeping my 1-inch and returning the X4. The 1-inch is so much better. If any of you are semi knowledgable about cameras, you know the most import aspect of a camera is its image sensor capability. Light gathering is everything. I will wait for the 8k 1-inch to come out. That will add even more detail to the 1-inch and trust me, it's not missing a ton. The X4 is only necessary if you need a waterproof camera without using additional accessories or want something a bit lighter, but if you own the 1-inch, I say save your money.

What a great review! Motion ND looks interesting. Like your choice of transport. Fiat 500 (affectionately known as the fart box) used to be my daily driver about 40 years ago. Video quality looks substantially improved.

So many questions. How do you edit video? Can you save it on your pc and watch the 360 video there too and move around with the cursor? Can you watch the video with a VR headset and move your head around in a 360° bubble?

What are those 2 new holes at the bottom around the tripod thread? Does it support some form of quick mount?

They removed the Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) feature. It was in the X3, but not X4. It was my most used feature. I wasted my money upgrading.

Can you let me know link the black table mat in the unboxing top down shot please. BTW ordered insta 360 x4 can't wait to make a video on it in my channel.

Hey, thanks for the video. A question. That invisible dive case that comes with the invisible dive bundle, is it different than the X3 invisible dive case, or are they interchangeable?

My interest in 360 cameras began with an odd video in my feed. It was a guy, Max Wrist, that produces motorcycle videos. I was amazed at how he captured everything around him with a 360 camera. But I am puzzled as to how he slows to a freeze frame, reverses, speeds up the scene. Are these things that can be done in the Insta app, or is he using special editing software? Thank you.

Great review, towards the end you said it can be paired with an Apple Watch for GPS data, is this actually correct as I can't see any reference to it in the manual

Amazing camera, it seems in X4 the chip is upgraded so it can catch more details, which is very great. And its fram rate has improved significantly, for action sports it is a big plus. I can also see in the video, this camera can produce very good video under low-light situation, for me it is very useful. I will definitly want to have one! Great 360 camera!

Does it come with lens guards or is it an extra accessory?How is image quality with lens guards? On X3 there have been some significant flaws using the protection. Do you see a difference with and without protection?

Great video thanks 😎 can I ask if you are able to view the videos with VR headsets like quest 3 as that would be very Immersive?

OMG, also saw some latest vid on the new camera's AI chip upgrade and I'm literally blown away! I think the sensor can now pick up even more details with that crispy image quality, am I correct?

you do the best reviews.

Nice review, what's the minimum requirement on the iPhone side given the iOS app runs much of the editing? thanks.

is it feasible to snap 360 video in higher than 1080p? For x3, there is only 720p for snap 360 video

Is there a new extended selfie stick for the X4?

Can we use same motorcycle kit as X3, or do we need to buy new kit for X4????

Hey I don't mean to be a pain but could you help me decide on which Monitor to go with between: AOC Agon PRO AG276QZD 27" OLED Tournament Gaming Monitor and ASUS ROG Swift 27”1440P OLED DSC Gaming Monitor?

Can you connect a dji mic 2 to this?

Well I'll be damned. This new chip seems to get quite a bit more detailed over my old X2, X3 wasn't a big enough upgrade for me. Also the missing 60 fps on 5.7 kept me away from an upgrade so far, I kinda need a bit of cinematic slowmo :D also the low light scenes in the reviews I saw so far looked decent (for an action cam). Amazing review, I'm gonna get one... just need to convince the wife first :P

Very good review! I am upgrading from the X3.

If the battery drains faster, they should have came up with a communication port in the selfie stick that holds an additional battery. This way it could charge while recording.

It doesn't have a bigger sensor because they would have to make the whole device even bigger and have even more cooling to stop it from over heating. They will no doubt create a one-inch sensor version of this like they did for the last generation.

Wow! This looks awesome 🤩

In the HDR Photo setting of X4, I couldn't seem to find the adjustment for AEB (number of shots). There used to be a choice from 3 shots to 9 shots. Did Insta360 remove that feature in the X4?

10 ft stick is too short, do they have 15 or 20 ft version?

The new update for X3 also provide the 72mp 360 photos.. but the 8K is new

People are gonna be traveling with this thing.

What is the best quality you can get making a flat video from 360? I it supporting 4k?

Nice,Thanks for the explanation sir.

Hello! Can you stream live with it?

hey what's the embargo on 360 footage?

Good review.

Thomas this might be the one. Did it ever overheat at 8k30fps ?

Does it still have the issue where if you record continously, it loses a few seconds of footage every half hour (as it saves one clip and starts the next)?

Is it 8 or 10 bit ?

0:01 now, that's... a hand movement... 👀🤣

How does it compare to the older 1 inch version in terms of image quality?

i love your videos!

Cool camera. I love the pink 500 as well haha

It does not say anything about night videos, why? Is this not good for night videos?

If the image looks like the clips at the beginning I would regret buying this camera…

I don't mind this being a sponsored video, but you really should make it more clear.

Finished 7:00 and I am already impressed

Are those videos with 8k with hdr? Hdr on x3 was noisy AF. Never used it.

Something not covered in the video - RAW vs Exported video. The Insta360 app VASTLY reduces the quality of all Exported files, even at maximum bit-rate. I keep all my Raw Insta360 videos rather than exporting them because the Raw quality is great but as soon as it's exported the quality drops off a cliff

I'll buy it! take my money already

will the x3 battery fit in the x4?

I've wanted a drone for quite a while. But didn't want to risk losing it, nor the limitations on where I could fly one. Starting to think one of these on a long stick is the ideal solution.

HOW TO HDMI OUTPUT FOR 9:16 OUTPUT ?

Just ordered an X4 today! Can't wait to try out this camera!

Can you use this as a webcam?

Can you test in low light sir

Thanks !!

What rez and fps do you get in HDR?

I've just ordered it ... i think the upgrades from the X3 are significant enough to warrant it ... lens protection, increased battery life, increased image quality, increased shooting time, its faster , more features .... 😀

Can you upload a 360 video?

post on youtube vr the 360 rome video.... quest 3 just got 8k youtube app upgrade!

01:23 what does "partnering" mean? Was it paid?

Does it have a microphone, and if yes, how is the “noise cancellation” on it?

Roamed the streets of Rome

Hello brother, how are you doing today? I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of your content all the way from Tanzania. By the way, if you ever consider giving away the Insta360 camera, I would be extremely grateful to have the chance to use it. I am an adventurous motorbike rider and it is my dream to capture my outdoor experiences with an Insta360 camera. With its 8K resolution, I would be able to capture more details in my shots and have more flexibility to crop the images to create more dynamic memories. I would truly appreciate having such an amazing piece of equipment. Thank you!

So this is a two 4k camera, not 8k dude. That is not what 8k is.

Will the cage for X3 fit the X4?

What about overheating? That's my main concern.

Would this be good camera for gym videos?

Why does everyone keep saying that battery improved, last longer? I mean, it's improvement for 5.7k, but not for 8k videos. With 8k option, i highly doubt that anyone will use 5.7k, why would they? Is 5.7k improved in quality compared to insta360 x3's 5.7k?

So the 3m selfie stick ISNT invisible?

A lot of fisheye distortion but it’s nice to have H.265 and I wish I had it when I was in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico. As I’ve learned that Video editing is easy enough.

Welcome to the wonderful world of marketing ;) I tried a GO3 and I accumulated problems with: Overheating, battery which drains, proprietary format, m... software, repeated bugs, disgusting image in low light, etc.. Their customer support? Boxed answers and a gift to calm you down ;) INSTA360, finished. Return to DJI

All amazing, even the price…..I ll wait until they come up on ebay for less

You know that fiddle player was fake, with a CD playing through a speaker.

No night shot 😮

Get in, Tom 🙌 When we saw that onboard in the pink Fiat we knew this was gonna be good 😂

Actually Aliens filmed all that in 12k in 500 B.C

This is really nice, I actually want to get this.

❤😊

Damn, that lens flare is horrible and ruins everything, they could've been more careful with that.. that's actually a big deal breaker for me..

The most important thing is not addressed. The editing workflow. It's insane the latest version 5.0 studio only last month added in multiclip editing which is madness. Using premier pro with the gopro plugin is also a pain cos of how slow PP renders and processes the insta360 propriety files. I have about 500GB of X3 footage i hope maybe to edit by version 6.0 of the PC studio version. In 2026 maybe

Sensor size?

Buyer beware on all these videos - this is UKpostsr influencer at its HIGHEST - the embargo has lifted - there are 50 videos out there about this "ACTION CAMERA" - and what NONE OF THEM TELL YOU - is that these lenses are DELICATE - like you WILL SCRATCH the lens in snow - or on a bike trail - or a dropping it on a table - and then - it will cost (at least it did on previous models) $99 to fix it - or all your footage will have a smudge from the scratch. Also - you have to write an email to them explaining it - then wait 4 weeks for a reply - then fill out a form and pay the $99 plus shipping - to CHINA - then - wait another 4 weeks - until you get our camera back.....ALL of these videos got a FREE camera - and then went snowboarding - and if they had to pay $500 for the camera - then another $99 if they dropped it in the snow - which WILL scratch it - they would not use it. The lens guards dont work - in fact I had one scratch my actual lens when the camera hit the ground while not even snowboarding - SLEDDING on a bunny hill! BUYER BEWARE! These are just commercials for free cameras given to influencers.

How's AI unlocking 8K video?

the quality is still kind crappy. good try insta360. But I'll stick for now to X3

72MP photos are not new, the X3 could do this as well. Great to see that just like every other reviewer you didn't bother to check the actual settings that are available. Timelapse mode in 8K or 11K no longer has 0.2s, 0.5s or 1s settings which means the minimum acceleration is 60x FFS. And they also increased ( = worse) the minimum shutter speed in Auto mode so now the already-terrible low-light timelapses are even worse. 👍

like 1000 yahoo😊

What a shame Insta 360 X4 😂 SENSOR SIZE: 1/2'' (same size like low budget Samsung A34 from 2023) APERTURE F1.9 (worse at low light than F1.8 of Samsung A34) 😅

Don't need to pause to read anything .. if i have to do more than simply turn it on .. i'm not touching it . I had a DJI Pocket 2 (which I threw out) because it was too complex for me to understand (and I could not find anyone who would teach me) so I don't bother. I'll be dead soon anyway so who gives a fuck

Stop bsing, it's crap. Looks like a fish eye camera. Why would you pay for that when a high end smartphone shoots better?

It needs an app to be used - hard pass

No words about battery. Poor review.

1. Color science is still bad look at color shifts between skin tones on most of the videos. 2. The artifacts are awful - look at the blocking on images even in broad daylight. 3. Why is no one that is bought and paid for with a camera explaining how bad the highlights are yet claim this is so much better than the X3? It's not, it literally is an X3 with some more AI stuff for algorithms. 4. Reframed video 2.7k isn't impressive. Especially when all the 8k is doing is amplifying how bad the artifacts etc are before reframe. 5. The 1RS is bad in and of it self. BIG sensor, poor low light performance. The x4 1/2 sensor still bad. 6. UKpostsrs should be honest, they are losing credibility. Getting resell links to push a camera that isn't much different then the X3. The Qoo cam had 8k prior to this, it was bad as well. They never made any real changes, they just pushed it out. Sadly that is all that Insta360 has been doing year after year. It's not a good look. And it takes those whom bu it with their hard earned money to get a real review. Ps. Owner of a pocket 1/2/3, Canon 1D Mark 1/2/3, 7D, 7D mark II, Sony A9, Gopro 3-11. All of these dont need a million people to push their products on youtube. Take a wild guess why that is... The quality speaks for it self. The things on the Insta are all novelty. They don't listen to their customers at all.
