Thanks for this in-depth review! I've been considering this camera as a "dash-cam" mounted to my helmet for my urban commuting cycling. There have been many times where I was almost hit or was a witness to a crash and wished I had a recording. Do you think the low-light performance is a deal breaker for this purpose? During the winter I'm biking in the dark pretty often, and even during the day it's usually cloudy and/or rainy.
Thanks for the comment! I don’t think it’s a deal breaker. But low light performance is not great. With enough light you might be able to make out any accident but it’s unlikely you’ll be able to recognise number plates.
Very comprehensive review. I have the X4 and X3. To me the bump in image quality is very noticeable. The only downside for me is the weight. It’s noticeably heavier and when using a selfie stick for a long shot it can become heavy.
360 is great camera for things like biking/snowboarding on any activity related activities, it's especiaily nice if you want to record your workouts, you set your camera in 360mode, and afterwards you select the A.I to follow you and you've got yourself a personal camera man, which is amazing.
A good, honest review! Thank you! I have two X2's and a X3 mainly used on my motorcycles. Questions: 1. Will my current Insta360 GPS remote still work with the X4 too? 2. Resolution is always a factor - the X3 will mostly provide 1080p after reframing and exporting via Premier Pro - will the X4 be notably better in good lighting conditions ? I do not think the "8K" will be 4K in reality but rather somewhere the 2K mark... 3. Where can I find some X4 8K files that I can reframe and export to see the difference for myself? Regards!!
Thanks! 1. I have the old remote - will try to remember to check. 2. In good lighting yes - the X4 is better and does export to 4k if you’re not zooming in. 3. I’ll try and upload one to Google Drive.
Hi - the bike mount is an optional extra. I don't think it has a Karoo 2 mount but please see their listing: store.insta360.com/product/bike-computer-mount?c=3443&from=accessory?INRT7JX
Thanks for video. Very useful recap. As a first time user I agree the post processing is daunting
Thanks glad it helped!

Nice review! One thing you didn't mention was live streaming in 360. Have you tried it?
Thanks! No sorry - will do next time!

Yes I agree about the extra weight!

Interesting idea using it for your workouts!

@@TheTechnologyMan Great and thanks!!
@@TheTechnologyMan If you have time... please upload a file - 1 minute will be enough. Regards!
All my videos on UA-cam shot by iPhone, but i like insta360 x4
It’s a great fun little camera!
First comment. Salute from DR.

Hi. I have a hammerhead Karoo 2 cycle computer. Does the insta360 x4 come with a Karoo 2 adapter?
Hi - the bike mount is an optional extra. I don't think it has a Karoo 2 mount but please see their listing: store.insta360.com/product/bike-computer-mount?c=3443&from=accessory?INRT7JX
Insta360 X4 seems a bit too big for me.
Yes I’d love them to shrink down the X5 a tad, if at all possible!
