I love the speed & clarity you speak explaining everything thing. I’m not a professional by any means, but I have learned a lot from your videos. I never purchase anything without watching your videos first!! Thanks for all that you do !!
Today we are bombarded with the X4 videos from, sadly, it's always the same people reviewing your cameras. I am a Insta360 user (Ace Pro and GO) and love them both. How about some small channels getting a camera to review when the new products come out? (Along with the same people getting the reviews, just saying)
Great review. You touched on major points that I didn't see other reviewers discussed. DJI Mic bluetooth compatibility, 4K output from the app. But i have so many accessories and batteries from the X3 that are not compatible.😢
Thank you! Yes, the accessory incompatibility is unfortunate. I get it that the additional innovations of this camera require new, revamped accessories but it is unfortunate that very few older ones are compatible other than ones like selfie sticks and a few others.
Yes, it sure does. I mention this in the audio section of this video. It’s great to be able to pair it via Bluetooth and not need to physically connect a mic.
I export the reframed clips as 4K (3840 x 2160). All samples in this video including the video footage, timelapse, timeshift, etc was exported in 4K resolution.
Great question. I don’t have any insight into what GoPro is doing with the rumored Max 2, but if GoPro wants to continue to compete they are going to have to offer innovation.
Yes, it does have fast charging for the massive 2,290 mAh battery. These are the charging times: Charge to 80% in 38 minutes (9V 2A) Charge to 100% 55 minutes (9V 2A) Yes, the X4 has a Log color profile which is great for grading later on.
Insta360 makes a motorcycle clamp which is a great way to mount these cameras on a bike. Yes, the advantage of the X4 is one can get a third-person perspective of one riding a bike and reframe the scene.
This is correct. No live-streaming capabilities on the X4, currently. Considering the X3 had this capability I expect Insta360 will enable this via a firmware update later on. Perhaps Insta360 is working on optimizing this function or offering new capabilities with it that need a bit more fine tuning before enabling this capability.
The 8K footage looks really good. When I compare this to the 5.7K X3 footage after it is reframed to 4K, the X4 footage looks a lot better as reframed 4K footage.
Easy pass for me. Video quality is not as good as my Action 4. Plus, I don't like the protruding lens on these. I do like the Motion ND feature. DJI needs that on the Action cam.
I love my Action 4 as well but my Action 4 can’t capture footage in the same way I can capture it with the X4 due to the X4 being a 360 degree camera. There are adventures where I bring along my Action 4 but there are also plenty of adventures where I bring along the 360 degree camera. Or as I call it - my film crew 😂

Thank you and I appreciate your feedback and support!
Plot twist: the 8K 360º action camera is also a 4K wide-angle action cam 🤯😏 Thanks so much for the detailed review!
Thanks Insta360! Yes, I love the fact this camera is both an 8K 360 degree camera AND a 4K wide-angle action cam.

Im considering the x4 to pair along with the Action 4. How does the reframed video hold up compared to it
What is wrong @0:35? All around the little boy walking there is so much pixels moving. Is it from the camera or bad post process/conversion?
This looks like compression after uploading to UA-cam. When viewing this on my computer with the local file this is not present.

A good no frills canter through the extensive capabilities of the X4, thanks.
You’re welcome.
can you make 360 photos like the google street view car does or not? like i set 3-5 sec take a photo when i hike 3 hours?
Yes, you can export 360 degree photos with the Studio app.
@@GreatDayForAHike i mean the 72mp photo not video and take out low quality photos
Does the dji mic 2 via Bluetooth with the x4
Yes, it sure does. I mention this in the audio section of this video. It’s great to be able to pair it via Bluetooth and not need to physically connect a mic.
@@GreatDayForAHike maybe you should do a video dji mic 2 via Bluetooth quality please
@karnal1710 Certainly. I’d be happy to do a quick comparison video of audio from the X4 and audio from the Mic 2.
@@GreatDayForAHike that would be great
Does the GPS remote work with the X4?
Yes, it sure does. I own the GPS Remote and have been able to use it with the X4. Insta360 also officially states it is compatible.
What is the reframed X4 360 export resolution? X3 was 1080...
I export the reframed clips as 4K (3840 x 2160). All samples in this video including the video footage, timelapse, timeshift, etc was exported in 4K resolution.
Actual X4 reframed resolution is rated as 2.7k - you can export it into larger frames of course but that won't increase the underlying resolution.
You reckon the GP Max2 will be up there ?
Great question. I don’t have any insight into what GoPro is doing with the rumored Max 2, but if GoPro wants to continue to compete they are going to have to offer innovation.
thanks for review
i have 2 question
is x4 has fast charging and DLOG?
Yes, it does have fast charging for the massive 2,290 mAh battery. These are the charging times:
Charge to 80% in 38 minutes (9V 2A)
Charge to 100% 55 minutes (9V 2A)
Yes, the X4 has a Log color profile which is great for grading later on.
Another gr8 video. Thank u. What mount did u use on the bike and do u recommend it?
Great review I have just ordered my first 360 view camera 👍
Thank you and enjoy! I’ve got a lot more content I’ll be sharing here pertaining to the X4 including how to use it for best results.
Great review Mike.
Thanks
Can you review the insta go3? And best settings?
I will take a look and consider buying this one. I don’t currently own it but it looks like a fascinating camera.
Great thanks!! What is the best way to get in touch with you? I do UA-cam interviews/ discussions and would love to have you on my program!
@thefoundationakawoeproduct6103 Feel free to contact me via the contact info on my channel page About Me.
@@GreatDayForAHikeI don’t see a email.
@thefoundationakawoeproduct6103 I think it will only show on a computer and not on a mobile device.
Seeing these guys on there motorcycle with that fishing pole and camera looks ridiculous… not knocking the camera but my GoPro 9 does the job for me..
Insta360 makes a motorcycle clamp which is a great way to mount these cameras on a bike.
Yes, the advantage of the X4 is one can get a third-person perspective of one riding a bike and reframe the scene.
Essa câmera só serve pra brincar msm. Pq a qualidade nunca se aproximou da qualidade da GOPRO. Não dá pra fazer uso profissional.
You forgot to mention an important detail: the X4 currently does not support live-streaming
This is correct. No live-streaming capabilities on the X4, currently. Considering the X3 had this capability I expect Insta360 will enable this via a firmware update later on. Perhaps Insta360 is working on optimizing this function or offering new capabilities with it that need a bit more fine tuning before enabling this capability.
8K meaning a true 4K 360° video, with no upscaling?
The 8K footage looks really good. When I compare this to the 5.7K X3 footage after it is reframed to 4K, the X4 footage looks a lot better as reframed 4K footage.
Awesome. Looking forward to seeing more x4 footage, before I make a purchase. Thanks for the reply!
@dbsranchr Absolutely. I’ve got a lot more content coming from the X4.
Easy pass for me. Video quality is not as good as my Action 4. Plus, I don't like the protruding lens on these. I do like the Motion ND feature. DJI needs that on the Action cam.

@@GreatDayForAHike Yup, different tools for different jobs.
Why aren’t my 360 videos or pictures being saved as 360 images to my cámara roll, even when I export as 360 images from insta app? 😢
