I did exactly that ... I bought the insta360 X4 to start my Moto Vlog, because it is so versatile. Ok, it has it's downsides, e.g. huge file sizes in 8K, much post production and less than 4K in the final video, but it's much fun and helps me to go beyond the boring helmet view.
I've watched around 10+ videos about X4, but so far your video is the best. This camera is for fun and you really reflected that perfectly in this video. ❤
[OC] I got the X3 and some sticky lens guards 🤷♂️ Also grabbed 3 years insurance with it - it's going on my bike, there's a possibility it'll get damaged 👍 My main use case is for safety/incident recording. I have a cheap (like £3) camera mount on my handlebars which works fine but i block the rear view - so I've bought a selfie stick and a mount to basically have it hover over my shoulder or something for a better FOV (still waiting on the mount, so can't say how well it'll work). P.S. That little ditty at the end... ummm, it was something 👍
hey my friend, not bad, but some annoying features, i am developing a 5 inch screen and camera system that allows you to fix 7 x mini hd cameras anywhere around the bike plus a twin mic (1 mounted near the engine and 1 you can mount inside the helmet for ride commentary) but the beauty of this system is THERE IS NO EDITING! Woohoo! all cameras record to 1 file on a single sdcard in 3-5-10-15 minute sections. insert the card into your pc and play back in widescreen format, the front camera remains constantly on view and fills the left half of the screen and the right half shows random scrolling of all the other cameras with a handlebar push button override function to automatically show the rear camera on the 5 inch screen and automatically when indicating left or right. this really helps with your lifesaver check, you can see everything behind you before you pull out to turn or overtake
I even turned the "Intelligent Noise Block" off on the Cardo, but it still would only pick up my voice on X4 and not the bike. Needless to say I'm playing with other mic/bike solutions. Another good thing about he Cardo, if you have it connected to the phone, you can listen to your Insta360 video playback if your using the Insta phone app. I was nice while I was reviewing my videos in the field. Realized I was getting to much wind noise. 😒
I have a DJI mic 2 with a little dead cat fuzzy thing that muffles wind noise. could probably mount that inside your full face helmet and have audio that way, and you might hear some bike noise. I have yet to try it in my full face helmet. I’ve had a cardo system for a few years and that works awesome with calls and stuff like you said.
Sound advice, paired with a DJI Action 4 or 5 gives you some great footage. Hate the tiny planet effect though and I don’t use the guards, they cause flaring and have had no issues with damage while mounted on my motorcycle.😉🤣 PS. I do use them for low mounting points, ruined my X2.
I love my X3. Still not seeing the bang for the buck with this one. The idea of higher res is nice, but if its done though AI not sure its worth it. Right now there seems to be nothing better than a bigger sensor and better glass. I enjoyed watching how you set up the shots.
If you're super happy with an X3 then I agree. Just to confirm though the sensors are bigger and you get a higher resolution file. It's not AI. AI is used when you want it to edit your clips for ya.
Seems like a great action cam, but I'm concerned about the awkward mounting, especially how I've seen people chest mounting the 360. I would just get some Velcro and stick it to my chest guard.
Great video! I am wanting to get into video capture of my rides. After watching your video I purchased this camera. Specifically for the audio capture features. The only question I have still is, how would one be able to record audio between 2 riders with pack talks, or is additional equipment needed? Thanks again for helping me make up my mind on the right camera for my needs.
Question! I don’t know which cardo you’re using but, does the packtalk edge not have the ability to connect to multiple bluetooth devices at once? Would this at least solve the problem of not being able to listen to music? I want to get into motovlogging once i get my license but stuff’s expensive 😭 i already have the packtalk edge though 😬
The "no music" part of connecting the camera to the Cardo is the reason I don't do it. I tried the setup like you tested and found out first hand what happens. If I don't have tunes, I'm not riding, so that setup is a "no go" for most.
As always great videos and review on this cam 🥇How is the built in mic for recording? I have a Sena mesh in my Shoei GT Air 2 helmet and the X4 does not connect to Sena as of yet.
Can you make the video on editing and getting the best shots and all the gear required for doing a blog ...I'm going to Vietnam in february and I am riding north from China down to hcmc over 30 days and I really want to film the entire journey ...I have a go pro 10 as well and I want the 360 x4
Looking at 2 camera's for Motorcycle. I want great quality and versatility. Should I look at 2 x Insta 360x4's or 1 x Insta 360x4 & Osmo Action 4 / Ace ???? Just not sure if I can get enough cinematic footage with Insta 360?
OC 🧱 About to get my first bike & I’m torn between chin mounted GoPro or windscreen 360, if anyone can share their thoughts would be greatly appreciated. After watching this video I still can’t make up my mind if windscreen/GTA 360 is something I’d use
@@chaseontwowheels thank you for the response! I’m curious to know why you’re saying flat out no GoPro, they’re small and high video quality so thought it might be ideal on the chin. Are you suggesting not to get the GoPro because I then have a more versatile camera for future usability or a different reason, would be great to know your thoughts!
OC: Question - when you use it as single lens cam for the POV look for a motovlog, and after you frame the footage and crop it to look like a normal actioncam (with similar FOV), whats the resolution of that footage? its a 4k sensor, so i hope the cropped footage is still at least 1440p? Cheers
hmm, maybe i did not phrase my question good enoug or i dont know some detailed specs.. english isnt my 1st language too, so it does make it harder for me to explain.. FOV of 1 sensor & lense is 180degrees, and 4k, right! ("half the sphere" of the whole 360 mode)? so i guess to crop the FOV from 180 to maybe 120 degrees for using it as a helmet cam, i guess you do crop into the footage too, ergo-facto, you do crop into the 4k footage, making it a bit smaller than actuall 4k? if im still not good enough explaining it, maybe ill leave it just by this one question: the part of the footage you used while in POV mode and used it as a helmet camera, was that footage native 4k, or was it a bit upscaled? p.s. sorry cahse, if you still cant understand what im asking, just ignore this pile of confusing letters 😆
Currently on the fence on X4 vs Action 4. I will be riding to Sturgis and want to film the memories along with moving to Europe and want to film my outing when not on the bike. What would you recommend?
For that situation I'd go with the X4. It's going to be a better camera for overall experiences where I would say the Action 4 is a better dedicated action camera.
So the X4 have a 1/4 20 screw hole in the bottom so I just use a 1/4 20 screw to 2 prong action camera adapter and it'll go straight into your normal GoPro/Action camera mounts.
yes, I'm too lazy to Google this... but if anyone can help me with one simple question: can the Insta360 camera display my speed while recording? Thanks!
Is that on helmet mount in the front not annoying as hell? It seems like it’s in a terrible spot for the rider it’s like halfway up the face mask directly in front of your eyes?
What clamps are used in the GTA shot? I am putting the Manila American Cemetery on Google Street View. What is an "OC" in the comments? Lord forbid, I'm not riding. I'm hiring riders.
Kinda shocked to hear a GoPro is still running that long

@@chaseontwowheelsagreed. The reason I changed to the x4 is because my GoPros all went buggy in no time and I just got fed up with it. Never going back.
No it is not the best 360 camera😁😁😁 GoPro Fusion is far better, you are just sponsored by insta…your biggest influencer sins are coming back to life mate😂 that’s why you lost so many subscribers

13:50 - yeah, a video on bike mount best practices will be really great !!
second this
OC: Outro killed me 😂😂😂😂😂 Definitely worth buying the X4. Just $500, which is so much cheaper than building a custom chasing camera drone.
just watched your video on the X3 camera from 1 year ago. I finally have the money to buy one so I'm excited to watch this video.
I've watched around 10+ videos about X4, but so far your video is the best. This camera is for fun and you really reflected that perfectly in this video. ❤

Good job Chase you motivated me to go 360 afterall the earth 🌎 is round and so should your camera 📸 be 😅
I feel like that should be, "Now that I have lens guards, I can go to even more exciting places." Don't worry little guy, Chase still loves you.
OC: Been watching other reviews and yours made me want to just go and buy it! Those angles are just awesome.

GREAT video. Clear and concise for what was covered. Nice detail and a good pace.
10/10 outro, like waiting at the end of a marvel movie.
OC: we need an Easter egg sound drop of chase singing every time this camera is used in the channel going forward😂
The only drawback with the lens guards are some of the reflections in bright sunlight. You can see them in your video in a few areas.
I only fit them for low mounted shots which is rare…I fit a rubber lens protector when I’m not filming.
Please create a video on best practices and best angles for recording on a bike
Wow very interesting and informative
I've learned a lot chase👍
Now I can improve my motovlog
Thank you so much 🙏

love the camera , just cant aford it at the moment , but im sure it would be grat shots with the supermoto , great video!
Now I'm convinced to get the x4 😅
Thanks for the info, I'm in the market to get one and this video has helped!

Having all that expensive equipment and nice bike and riding with a ruroc helmet is wiiiiillllddd😂
I keep seeing these comments. What’s up with the Ruroc brand? Are they really bad or something?

Ain't no way in hell I'd ride with that big ass camera right in front of my face like that 😂
Yeah he’s tripping lmao 😂
there is a horizontal adaptor for it, I have it for my x3. Used to ride with it in vertical which was very distracting 😂

Very helpful information 😎🤙
Great video!
Thoughts on using this on the roof/back window of a pickup while involved in a convoy/parade to get all around video of the event?
You missed the hud overlays ie speedometer, elevation etc from in post
Isn't the view blocked by the cam viewfinder on the helmet?
That's why I use sena music and audio
What is this? Does it work with SENA 20S EVO?
isnt sena footage looks terrible
The "no music" part of connecting the camera to the Cardo is the reason I don't do it. I tried the setup like you tested and found out first hand what happens. If I don't have tunes, I'm not riding, so that setup is a "no go" for most.
Bro same. I gotta have my music
I wonder how this will work on dirt bike? May need a serious mounting system?
As always great videos and review on this cam 🥇How is the built in mic for recording?
I have a Sena mesh in my Shoei GT Air 2 helmet and the X4 does not connect to Sena as of yet.
Honestly if you use the little wind muffs it comes with the sound on board isn’t bad.
It should connect to sena

also curious
Hello, do you think that the motorbikeset (heavy duty one) will work to use for enduro moto?
What bar mount / mount for the bike do you use?
I use the bar mounts from insta360. In my opinion they are the best available right now

So did u get the motorcycle bundle or the ultimate motorcycle bundle?
I had same problem with Cardo but I turned off the noise canceling and boom it picks up everything
@chaseontwowheels
Is it possible to have the video stabilised with horizon lock turned OFF to show leaning into corners?
You have full control of the lens in post and can make it do basically anything
they should record the bluetooth mic audio on a second audio track

The premium lens guard is great in theory but the little specs of dirt usually show up in the footage. I even saw them in some of your shots.

How bad is the extra post-processing step?
Depends how in depth you wanna go. It can be quick if you only make a few edits.
