Totally agree, Chap. As a sports lover myself I can't really see myself using a traditional action camera with a fixed POV anymore. Having the flexibility of 360 footage is just so liberating in post... Also now that 8K is here, I'm really convinced to finally only bring ONE camera to all of my trips. Great stuff! And I'm really glad they finally brought us 60 FPS at a reasonable quality. Can't wait to see the slow mo shots.
I must say. You're my favorite YouTuber tech reviewer now. The quality of videos, the non biased reviews. Your honest opinion on the thing you're reviewing. Makes me feel like I have the product myself. Great work. Keep it up!
I find it very suspect that none of the major influencers are comparing the X4 to the 1-inch. I do not think Insta360 wants that comparison to happen. This camera seems to be marketed using the 8K resolution it has and not the fact that it's the exact same sensor in the X3. I bought the X4 and have the 1-inch and I can say without a doubt that I am keeping my 1-inch and returning the X4. The 1-inch is so much better. If any of you are semi knowledgable about cameras, you know the most import aspect of a camera is its image sensor capability. Light gathering is everything. I will wait for the 8k 1-inch to come out. That will add even more detail to the 1-inch and trust me, it's not missing a ton. The X4 is only necessary if you need a waterproof camera without using additional accessories or want something a bit lighter, but if you own the 1-inch, I say save your money.
If the battery drains faster, they should have came up with a communication port in the selfie stick that holds an additional battery. This way it could charge while recording.
What a great review! Motion ND looks interesting. Like your choice of transport. Fiat 500 (affectionately known as the fart box) used to be my daily driver about 40 years ago. Video quality looks substantially improved.
0:01 now, that's... a hand movement... 👀🤣
Got it and omg i did not expect so low quality video. In room lighting it is like video on VHS.
Great video thanks 😎 can I ask if you are able to view the videos with VR headsets like quest 3 as that would be very Immersive?
People are gonna be traveling with this thing.
Nice review, what's the minimum requirement on the iPhone side given the iOS app runs much of the editing? thanks.
They removed the Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) feature. It was in the X3, but not X4. It was my most used feature. I wasted my money upgrading.
Well I'll be damned. This new chip seems to get quite a bit more detailed over my old X2, X3 wasn't a big enough upgrade for me. Also the missing 60 fps on 5.7 kept me away from an upgrade so far, I kinda need a bit of cinematic slowmo :D also the low light scenes in the reviews I saw so far looked decent (for an action cam). Amazing review, I'm gonna get one... just need to convince the wife first :P
OMG, also saw some latest vid on the new camera's AI chip upgrade and I'm literally blown away! I think the sensor can now pick up even more details with that crispy image quality, am I correct?
It does not say anything about night videos, why? Is this not good for night videos?
nice video! do you have the link to the micro sd card reader?
Well explained mate. but Insta the 360 X4-8K 360º Waterproof Action Camera, does have external mike provision?
What are those 2 new holes at the bottom around the tripod thread? Does it support some form of quick mount?
Amazing camera, it seems in X4 the chip is upgraded so it can catch more details, which is very great. And its fram rate has improved significantly, for action sports it is a big plus. I can also see in the video, this camera can produce very good video under low-light situation, for me it is very useful. I will definitly want to have one! Great 360 camera!
If the image looks like the clips at the beginning I would regret buying this camera…
