Which is your favorite?
DJI
Both along with the DJI lav mic package. The perfect package should include the Sigma FP L if you're a pro travelvlog entrepreneur. All bases are covered.
Pocket 3 pure cinematic look, will pass on the X4 for now and keep using the X3 until insta releases the X5 with 1” sensor..
Insta 360 - most fun
Both. But if I had to choose only one, then X4
🎉 I was waiting for this exact review! Omg, thank you so much!
I debated between both as well for a few days...I ended up with the X4
Good choice ! Water proof!
Why???😮
When sun goes down or go to low ambient light indoor you will regret the X4
@camilo8cheryl when sun goes down I can use my phone, or ace pro. But osmo can't give me 360 experience
@@user-sc8xc1jm6fexactly!
Thank you for making this video. This exactly the comparison I’ve been looking for.
I actually bought both for a very versatile camera budget set up. The pocket for the cinematic higher quality shots and the X4 for the action and all the different camera shots you can get. Great value for how cheap they are compared to higher budget cameras!
Me too! The best combination especially when coupled with the DJI mic and mini 4 drone.
Got both as well and DJI Mic2 work in 32bit float with both!
k you're rich. dont show off 😃
@@Atluntadhimanathoni.trolls I actually financed both cameras ✌️
This is the best combo camera pocket 3 for cinematic and 360 for rest 😍😍
I got the DJI Pocket 3 on day one and I love it. But I'm still on the fence about the X4, the hardware looks great, but I'm not a fan of reframing 360 video in post. And I can never get my head around to create a workflow where I upload videos in timely fashion. Great video comparison, thanks for sharing.
Rob, I keep my videos in REC.2020 HDR space, so I am not sure if I can use your REC.709 LUTs. Do you have a tutorial about your color grading?
TBH just watching the intro clips I didn't even care which is better they both breathtaking and blend in together so well.
I have x3 already.. ordered pocket 3 for my night vlogging... thst completes my set up
W enjoy bro
That was a very interesting conversation! I own the Pocket 3 for quite some time now and I love using it. But can definitely feel the limitations when it comes to documenting my traveling. Regardless about how easy it is to use you still need to be very intentional with your shots to make it look good. Would you say that both of the cameras are the perfect portable travel setup?
They are built for different purposes so choosing between the two will depend on the use. The X4 is an action camera and the Pocket 3 is a hand-held vlogging and all purpose video camera. If someone isn't a vlogger, the X4 will do more but the video quality is better with the Pocket 3 during hand-held operations. I chose the X3 (six months ago). I'm sure I'll get the X4 one day or maybe skip a generation and get the X5. I find the X3 + Action 4 + Go 3 does everything I need. For those who want reliability, simplicity, with good clear footage that is super easy to edit, the Action 4 is hard to beat but it isn't the subject of this video. Honestly, if I could only have one of the cameras I listed in this post, it would be the Action 4.
Hi, Just to clarify.I have a Pocket 3 which is excellent and am considering buying the 360X4. Will the remote microphone which I already have with the Pocket 3 connect via bluetooth to the 360X4?
Thank you for a great review. What is the name of the music in the intro? I like it alot 😀
I always said my iPhone Pro Max matched with Osmo 6, and also my Mini 4 Pro were enough for me when on vacation. I had no need for an action camera as well. But now this Insta360 X4 comes out and I love what it says it can do. I'm going for it. Thanks for helping me make that decision, Robin. I'll let my iPhone capture the different quality and low light images that the Pocket 3 might have done. //Tom
In summer I want to shoot some travel vlogs and Im struggling between these two cameras. In general Im impressed by the opportunities of the insta 360 X4 which id love to try, but Im not quite sure if the video-quality is high enough for cinematic shoots. This is the reason why I can't decide between x4 and Pocket 3. Can somebody give me please some advice what you would do?
Thanks I was in same confusion. After watching your video I am setting on c4!!
I have the Pocket 3 and the X3, so I'm considering, keeping the X3 or at some time buying the X4. What do you think, is it worth the extra money, or is it a more slightly difference?
All of today's cameras seem like a bargain to me because I'm old and have been buying video cameras since before the '90s when to get half decent quality I had to shell out approximately $3000 to get a 3 chip camera capable of near broadcast quality (for the day which was 640 line interlaced 2:3) I'd buy both and it's still cheap for excellent video quality!
I still have my VX9000...
Can you use 2 DJI mics at the same time on the insta 360?
Both make a great compete package.
I love owning both. They both have different advantages that I enjoy taking advantage of. I carry but with me using a fanny pack. It fits both and the insta 360 selfie stick with bullet time tripod. I love it
What do you use them for? I own the x3 and Im seeing if I should also get the dji osmo 2 for street vlogs with high quality at night
Awesome video. I already have the insta360 RS 1-inch 360 my wife wants to vlog our daughter's activity so i think the pocket 3 would be more suitable for her and would offer an easier work flow. What do you think?
Is it me or does the 360 seem to have low bitrate at times in the clips showed here? Perhaps an encoding/export or upload issue?
I basically shoots train videos my question is Osmo 3 is waterproof ? And could handle drag created by trains? 😊
Just what I was looking for 👍
What song did u use???
They both have their uses...I tried done a very low light test with the X3 and P3...both had same settings Log color, 4k30, 800max iso, 1/60 auto white balance and the Pocket 3 blew the x3 away and it wasn't even on low light mode.
Although the P3 has clearer video in the day...nothing beats being able to out a camera on a stick, hold it out and it records everything.
Imagine if dji made a 360 camera and insta360 made a gimbal camera(since they made the Flow I don't see why not)
I got both. For straight up vlogging and in low-light (even for studio based video) I use the Osmo. For interesting shoot and compose later stuff in good light, the 360. Happy with both purchases and think it's a solid $1000 investment for creator content.
this is what im leaning towards
Great comparison! We've been watching since your LumaFusion days... (whew... that's a long time). Your advice and suggestions are always right on point! Lynn and I thank you. Not sure it's still an issue, but for me one very big con is once you reframe and export the exported file does not match up time wise with other clips. So I always have one more step to update the timestamp of every exported clip so that when I bring them into the editor they are in the right sequence. Otherwise it's always a game of hunt and move to get them lined up chronologically. Do you know?... Is that stil the case? PS... Lynn will not let me use those up-the-nose hold it in your mouth shots... but then again I have a much bigger nose than you. haha. Thanks again.
I have the Pocket 3 and the Insta360 X3. The Pocket 3 is definitely my favourite. I know the Insta360 X3 doesn't have some of the new features as the X4, but I don't really care. The stabilization of the Pocket 3 (with its gimbal, 1-inch sensor, and amazing job in low-light at night), is just amazing! Still like the X3 though, for all the editing possibilities in post, from all those angles.
I have both 💪🏻 as per video quality Osmo pocket best hands down but it’s not a action camera , for action camera x4
I love my insta x3, it’s the most fun camera I own. Now to save for X4, mini 4 pro …. The pocket 3 is great - perfect for city breaks rather than my iPhone but then I have been spotted walking through streets with my x3 on a 3 metre pole !! Great video, Rob 👌🇲🇻
Haha 😅🙌🙌🙌
I actually ordered but quickly canceled the OP3 and ordered the X4 instead. I have an OP1 and a chipped lens Insta360 One. I missed the unique shots and being able to take under water shots. The X4 will give me more content from just the same footage too. Your vacation video helped me choose lol They actually have waterproof cases for Osmo Pockets but I don’t want to carry another thing. If the OP3 get a price cut or go on a sale, I will get it or may even just wait for the OP4. But for now the X4 and the 3m pole is all I need for now to make content on my Instagram. Thanks for the vid. You helped me with LumaFusion tutorials too, can’t wait for that speed ramp updates
I simply don't like the fisheye effect the X4 gives. So it is not an option for me and I am going in for the pocket 3
Thanks for the comparison. To be honest, I never ever thought 2 years ago that I will use a small cam like the Pocket3 for serious production.
Bought it after release right away and shot a 4 days event with interviews and broll on the Pocket3. Its has an insanely quick turn around. Quality is amazing with good lighting, files are small, audio is very good and redundant and the setup time has simply no competition. Heel to toe walking will help with up and down movement.
Also did some filming of myself and man the pocket3 makes production for youtube soo easy. With the memo app its unbeatable for self filming.
I also have the X2 and really like it for pictures and some fun shots. But even with more resolution I would use the pocket3. Clear win for me when it comes to a „swiss army knife for filming your self“.
Very easy to decide.
Vlogging, youtube, Interviews for social media, TikTok, traveling go with the Pocket3 Creators kit 110%.
If you want cool special Broll, unique shots for social media, action sports or your productions go with the X4.
Is this video sponsored by INSTA360? Do tell!
They asked people not to tell about it. Which is illegal by the way.
Rob, if I can only afford one of these, would you the 360 X4 also work well as a studio UA-cam camera?
If you make it bright as day, sure 😊
Hell nah
One question, please. Is the quick reader a necessity? Or can I do without it? Please let me know
Never used it
@@RobHK thanks, so an OTG cable will work just fine for both phone and PC?
I only have limited budget, and I thought the competition was only between GoPro Hero12 and DJI osmo Pocket 4. now I have to make my mind around the Insta360 also! I mean I go to different places and shoot different scenes, usually I am not the subject and the videos I need to record require wide frame, capturing nature sun and clouds. and I need the details to be visible in video. I do not care that much about pictures, just a smooth , minimum vibration and capturing a wide view. any suggestions?
Buy both the are different types of cameras both are awesome in their category 😊
Interesting...
However, considering the 8k video file size,
Yourself and many youtubers don't seem to be taking about the processing power of the pc required to deal with them
Your thoughts?
I have talked about the processing so many times. U can do it on a 90yo pc if u want.
Its not normal mp4 files i.eks. Its invs files which work in a completely different way. So the processing and requirements are less than if u edit normal 4k videos from the ace pro for example.
The issue is if you export the video from the studio in prores…which wont make the videos look better, only larger and harder on the computer, even if insta360 recommends this, it makes no difference to exporting the files in h.264 which is what i recommend 🙆
X4 does also shoot in h.265 which lowers the overall file size of the 8K recordings👌
You can even edit and process it on your phone.
@@chaydTV one minute recording over 1GB after edit it 100MB
you cant let in your computer UN edit it there you need huge hard disc
your computer never gonna edit quick with insta360 software because cant use all your prosesor capacite
30 minutes 8K recording shuting down because of heating
so not use summer...
one lens schrach camera is useless unless you send them insta360 to hongkong x4 220 dollars x3 120 dollar cost a repair
your garantie is useless for this
you know why they send them with lensguard because you need it
On the X4 can you create a normal field of view, like the pocket 3? I like the fact that you don’t have to be so precise but I’m not a fan of the crazy angles & fish eye look.
Yes
I have both plus the Insta acepro. If I had to pick one, I would do the 360. It's not perfect, but once you understand how to edit the video, it's pretty good. Here is why I have all three though. The pocket is a great all around camera for capturing the moment. It has great low light capability. It's NOT an action camera. The Acepro is great and I use that for anything under water. The 360 to me is not that great. The 360 camera is nice to just be able to capture everything and edit later.
Wait I'm confused...you said you would pick the insta 360 then later said it's not that great?
Beautiful
I have an Instapocket 2 I use it, but a lot of the things I do with it, I can do it with my iPhone, many times I use my phone for the convenience of having just only one thing, and not having to worry about extra batteries, etc etc. with the X4 I can do a lot more things that I can't do it with my iPhone, I think that is a big advantage.
buy both, they both have different uses!
I have to manshion that 5.7K is just like OneR with 360 lens module and there are a lot of blury parts of footage and it doesn`t look crystal clear like in a advertised videos. not until both lenses are 8K and 1" sensor.
that face close-up clip walking into the pool was amazing hahahaha
Remember the heavy post processing for 360 footage, if you know how to do it.
The biggest difference between the two cameras (I have both), is the DJI OSMO Pocket 3 has focus control, whereas the X4 is fixed focus. Secondly as of the current firmware, you can use the Pocket 3 as a webcam (useful with a YoloBox Pro for example) and you can use the Pocket 3 for streaming. You can of course upload your X4 360 degree video to UA-cam and that allows the viewer to choose what they want to look at 🤩
No focus control for Pocket 3. Focus is the main problem for Pocket 3. If someone is in the video the background will be blurry. Was better on Pocket 2.
@@jvachez There IS focus control. Click on what you want to be in focus and that is what the camera focuses on. This provides a far more cinematic experience than previous cameras or action cameras.
but how is putting luts for the x4? and editing
can i just use x4 for normal vlogging without those 360 degrees ?
Yes
I already own A7S3 (&A74), so I just picked the X4 to comment my GoPro 11.
For vlogging i recommend canon r50 + insta 360x4 . Any one agree?
I like the Pocket 3 but in the UK it rains a lot so X4 would likely be more appropriate :)
Is p3 better than iPhone 13pro?
@@bzdishekzapadlovsky your filthy manner of conversation is a trash that you carry in your soul and brain for some reason .
iPhone 13pro gives me excellent ultra /wide and zoom. Plus an extremely versatile free editing app such as CapCut. With a terabyte of memory I can use Apple Log for an outstanding hdr and further editing possibility such as coloring in the post editing . The formats that p3 can never offer you.
X4 all the way for me! 👍👋
Same!
so ... the final conclusion is : GET BOTH. There is no choosing in between them ...
Each of the cameras have one-of-a-kind qualities and usecase - you cannot replace one with the other ...
For me, these 2 cams are not in the same category. They're used for 2 very different purposes (as you said).
Buy the right tool for the job. But if you have two jobs buy both! 😀
Thanks for vid. Cool vacation spot. Where was it?!!!
Thank man🙌 Maldives
you're right, these are such different cameras and we'd all be better off having both lmao
I bought both.. but I find myself using the x4 more because of how easy it is to "set it and forget it".. that selfie-stick is such a game changer... I use the osmo pocket 3 for low-light tho.. x4 isn't great at all in low-light..
Not even close! X4 is a gimmick, P3 is an amazing camera for creators.
I would Have bought the X4 if it had the Pocket 3 Low Light Quality ... They Need to make a 360 Low Light Action Camera. DJI Insta360 Go Pro etc.....
Insta360 Ace Pro is the one you want for low light. At least at the time of this post.
There is absolutely no comparison! Osmo 3 wins hands down.
The X4 in the Philippines is around $700! Shocked at the difference!
You need both no nees to compare
I`m very disapionted in Insta support - there is NO downgrade FW so if you upgrade (like I did) and somethnig is not right you can not rollback to previous FW--- I have OneR and audio sucks - it sound like bad mp3 (64 kbs or even less) even with external Saramonic or Boya mic!!!
Both hehe
I brought the pocket 3 and returned it for the insta 360 X4 because of the pocket 3 wasn’t water proof, it don’t have 8k and read review online people had issue with the mechanic of screen issue. Don’t get me wrong pocket 3 shoots amazing video. They both work differently had both amazing camera. 😊
Reframed X4 is typically 2.7k so the Pocket 3 is the winner in that respect even though it is "only" 4k.
@@Ozpeter no if you film in 5.7 you only get get closer to a 2.7 on the reframe, if you shoot 8k you get a 4k reframe. If you shoot in 4k and have to reframe you lose quality. Of course this depends on how much reframe /cropping you are really doing.
@@stafonvoncamron We could discuss it for hours but Insta360 have always said that reframed 5,7k from the X3 is considered to be 1080p and the same reframe from the X4 gives 2.7k - it couldn't be 4k because that would include a 180 degree shot (half of the 360 sphere.
I hope x4 update with 10bit😅😂
I was hoping to see an image quality comparison between the two but the initial samples were so fast cut that I couldn't really compare. Still, thanks your painstaking work and thought provoking commentary.
Comparing apples with oranges
i was dissappointed to find out that x4 does not live stream - I bought ot assuming it did as the x3
Just a matter of firmware update
I bought both, I am typing this before watching the video...
x4 all dy this is my Insta 360 waited that 8k is wild! The detail as well as the clarity outmatches the pocket three. Depending on what you're doing, you can use the X4 for for almost anything because this invisible Speer.
Not as good in low light. Tiny sensor
Detail? 8K divided in 360? no way it can outmatch the 10bit of the pocket 3.
Les deux :)
Mabe if i already have iphone15 pro max. I will choose the x4 over dji op3.
I took the easy route.. i bought both😂😂😂
the only con I have for x4 is the lack of 1" sensor. 😁
share your bank statement, x360 have been hounding creators not to say its a 'sponsored' video
insta360 x 4 for a win
Cinematic🤦
Your video really wasn't sponsored by Insta360, OR they told you to say you were not sponsored by them ?... 🤔
This is not sponsored no😅 but my launch video was
no 10bit???????
How dare you compare that to the osmo 3. I had with and the insta quality was horrible on low light
Changed every setting there is and messed around with it. Nothing. Quality was a bit less horrible bit still bad, at daytime and low light
Did u watch the video?
@@RobHK indeed. But insta forever went to my grave after that experience 🥲
Insta is a cool toy. P3 is a pro tool that even professional journalist use out in the field . Nuf said
for 500$ the the better buy is Action 4 and small gimbal in bag 😅sorry, joke 😄
Why is the pilot not wearing the proper uniform? He is wearing shorts and flip-flops. Why?
Are you sponsored by insta360??
Lets face it Pocket 3 has very bad grip It would be a masterpiece if it had Osmo mobile gimble grip kinda grip.
Like the OG osmo ye, would be a different era for sure
i still can't see a reason to buy a dji pocket 3 aside from budget if you have an iphone 13pro max, you won't need the dji pocket 3, cinematic video option will do it.
Yep, I got both🤣 Couldnt resist
😍
Returning the X4. Its garbage. Influencers using Topaz AI to clean their video footage and making it seem way, way better than it really is. Even in perfect light, the photos and video have a shocking amount of noise and banding. The X4 is still not as good as the Theta Z1 from 2019 (yes twice the price but 5 years old).
The Osmo at least has quality video and photos.
I dont use topaz, dont even know what it is. But if you feel like people using topaz…just use it yourself then?
I have no problems with noise nor quality
@@RobHK Topaz cost money. I also experienced noise with X4, even on sunny days, grain visible in shadows.
Horses for courses, the insta cameras are better for action sports and think you would break the DJI gimbal if you subjected it to that sort of abuse and the 360 being able to reframe to exactly what you want in your edited video is fantastic, press record and forget about it and go have fun as records everything opposed to one lens in the DJi . The DJI is better quality with its 1 inch sensor compared to 1/2 on x4, yes x4 has 8k but not 8k after reframing which you have to do if recording in 360. So I don’t think it’s fair to compare them as one would buy them for different purposes and the DJi camera is more useful as a vlogging camera and will do some less extreme sports action shots. You can buy the insta x3 at a cheaper price now and pick up a used DJi camera so just have both if you really want them.
Its NOT a comparison!
@@RobHK
Well the title of your video, Insta360 X4 vs DJI Pocket 3 - The Ultimate $500
Dollar BATTLE (Don't Make a MISTAKE) would suggest it is 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the sentence «a comparison makes no sense» does not ring a ding dong bell?
Pocket 3 is also good but it cant give a 360 experience right ..? Although 360 is amazing in day and night its not that good but one has to compromise a bit as we dont vlog whole day 😂😂😂 night vlog can be done with iPhone, simple as that
