Insta360X4-8K Waterproof 360 Action Camera, 4K Wide-Angle Video, Invisible Selfie Stick Effect, Removable Lens Guards, 135 Min Battery Life, AI Editing, Stabilization, for Sports, Travel, Outdoor

The media could not be loaded. I have owned every Insta360 360 camera so far (with the exception of the Titan). This is the best one yet, as it should be. But it is a product that shows that Insta360 listens to their customers.8K is the big headline item and it gives you the highest resolution yet in a consumer 360 camera. When you reframe (which is changing the view after recording - all in the amazing Insta360 mobile app or the Studio app for computers), you get 2.7k video. This is perfect for how most of this kind of footage is consumed - online and in social media.The battery life is much better than before.It comes with lens guards to make sure you don’t damage the actual lens - and the footage still looks great.The overall photo and video quality is really really great!Please note that it does not come with a selfie stick but is compatible with them to give you that awesome angle of the stick eliminated from the video. This makes it look like you have a personal cameraman or a drone with you wherever you go - but you actually have all you need in a pocket!It is more rugged than the X3 and feels much better in the hand. The display is a bit larger than before and has gorilla glass to keep it in better shape for longer.All in all, this is an incredible camera that I don’t like to reduce to just being an action camera - it is more like the perfect lifestyle camera because it’s ready and tough enough to shoot your life wherever you are.

So, I know it's made more for action and such, but I thought it would be fun to give to a bride or in a cosplay convention, which is why I wanted it. My hope was that I could hand it to the bride or groom and have them have some fun with it. It works well, but it's not perfect for that.I like the build quality, it's easy to use, and a lot of times the video quality is great. It's definitely fun to mess around with the angles and zoom features like tiny world and ultra wide. Overall, I love the idea of the camera and will use it for certain situations.Battery life seems great, I've used it for a couple events so far, and it's been solid. I bought a backup battery, but haven't needed to change it out during an event yet. Granted, I'm mainly a photographer, so I do use it somewhat sparingly. But overall I'd say it lasted for a solid couple hours of shooting with no issues.The menus are easy to navigate, the touchscreen is responsive, and everything is durable on the unit.A couple of quick things that I noted (again, these are issues really just in the way that I use it, might not be an issue for someone else):1) You have to use the Insta360 editor to basically set up the shots the way you want and then export them to the correct format to be used in something like Premiere Pro. Not unexpected, but if you think about the editing process, this doubles my time essentially, especially if I'm using clips from other sources which I normally do. If you're just using the insta software, it'll be fine, no worries... but when I have to pre-edit my edits.... it's just a bit of a drain on my resources. (And this isn't really the fault of the device so much as it's just mildly frustrating for the way I plan to use it).2) I noticed in some of my clips, a weird 'banding' effect (blur really) in certain situations. It made the footage unusable, and the worst part is I'm not sure where it came from. It's possible that it's not the fault of the device, but the lenses were clean and clear, unobstructed.These are the only things that were an issue for me, and I'm sure that's being super particular and is unique to what I wanted to use it for. I still think it's a pretty awesome device and will allow me to create some cool shots for my uses.For this 'review' I'm giving it 5 stars, but for me personally, It might be more like 4.4 stars because of my intended use. I battled back and forth over this or GoPro, and decided to try this as something different since I've used GoPros for a long time. Maybe I just need to do more experimenting.

After extensively using the Insta360 X4 360 camera, I can confidently say that it's a fantastic tool for capturing immersive and dynamic content. Here's why I rate it 4 out of 5 stars:Exceptional Image Quality: The Insta360 X4 delivers stunning image quality, capturing every detail with clarity and precision. Whether I'm shooting photos or videos, the camera consistently produces sharp, vibrant images that exceed my expectations. The 360-degree field of view ensures that nothing is missed, allowing me to relive moments from every angle.Intuitive Controls and User-Friendly Interface: One of the standout features of the Insta360 X4 is its user-friendly interface and intuitive controls. Navigating through the various shooting modes and settings is a breeze, thanks to the well-designed companion app. I appreciate how easy it is to adjust exposure, white balance, and other parameters on the fly, ensuring that I always capture the perfect shot.Stabilization Technology: With built-in stabilization technology, the Insta360 X4 ensures smooth and steady footage even in challenging shooting conditions. Whether I'm walking, running, or capturing fast-paced action, the camera effectively reduces shake and jitter, resulting in professional-quality videos that are a joy to watch.Versatile Shooting Modes: The Insta360 X4 offers a wide range of shooting modes and creative features, allowing me to unleash my creativity and capture unique perspectives. From time-lapse and hyperlapse to bullet time and clone shot, there's no shortage of creative possibilities with this camera. I particularly enjoy experimenting with the different modes to create engaging and visually stunning content.While the Insta360 X4 is undoubtedly a top-notch 360 camera, there are a few areas where it could improve to reach perfection. Firstly, the battery life could be better, as I find myself needing to recharge frequently, especially during extended shooting sessions. Additionally, while the stabilization technology is impressive, it could be even more effective in reducing motion blur in low-light conditions.Overall, the Insta360 X4 is an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the world of 360-degree photography and videography. With its exceptional image quality, user-friendly interface, stabilization technology, and versatile shooting modes, it's a powerful tool that unlocks endless creative possibilities. I highly recommend it to both enthusiasts and professionals alike.
