    Interesting video but I have a few niggles. The golf comparison shot with the X3 was a bit unfair. The X3 obviously has a dirty or damaged lens or protector. Time split between clips - others have said there is no gap at all with the X4. Lens protectors - check the instructions, you showed them being mounted incorrectly. But does that actually make a difference? In one careful test it was shown that the Premium covers are more prone to flares and attract dust more than the standard ones. Well, you can only go by your own experience. But what does make a huge difference to the picture quality is the sharpness setting. On low, the 8k capture is completely wasted. Keep it on the default medium setting imho. The sensor - it doesn't have one. It has two, 4k each, totalling 8k but for the whole 360 degrees. When you reframe it you get around 2.7k. Yes, the size of the sensors is not ideal for low light but the fact that there are two of them does change the maths a bit. For low light, shoot in 5.7k is the recommendation. Cheers!

    I randomly came accross your review while trying to decide if I must get a X4 for myself. Ive been doing a lot of research and your review made me decide to get one. Thankfully the price isnt over the top in South Africa like I expected. I ve subscribed as I like your presentation method and huge amount of info given. Hopefully I get in on the list to win the X4.

    Great stuff, the work flow & creative possibilities of 360 footage is what i enjoy most. Stepping aside from the controversies, it's a tool with certain use case scenario's not a be and end all. The average consumer is more informed these days so shouldn't be an issue on what to expect if considering a purchase. 👍🏻

    No mention of how glitchy the X4 is? I've owned it since it came out and it's incredibly glitchy. It sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't. Sometimes exports files to your phone and other times it gives you an error. The quality is much better but this is like using the X1 when it first came out, barely works!

    The golf footage in the beginning is absolutly trash. i dont know what happend to your x3 or you used trash lensguards but its normaly not looking that bad. All lens guards a making the footage worse. also the premium lens guards. Sadly nearlyevery RUclipsr is talking that bad about the X3. I mean the X3 is actually a pretty good 360 camera. There is no overheating and very reliable. In perspective the pricing is much better. So for budget user its more afordable. If you already have the X3 you need a lot of new acessories for the X4. The sensor on X3 and X4 the same sensor. But because of the better processing there is an 8k upscaling during recording.

    • @WeDoTech
      @WeDoTech  26 дней назад +1
