You guys should have waited for 10 more years before putting those lens covers built in Lol xD Could have done it sooner, even from one X! I mean why wont you think a lens cover is necessary built in? Why would you make people buy them separately and then stop their production at all! -_-
@@NishaanAhmed Not wise to have covers ¨Built in¨ glass/plastic covers break/scratches and need to be replaced at some point. (haven´t used/had an Insta 360 btw)
@@B-RaDD Yeah dude, i have an ONE Rs, and X2, they made you buy the protectors separately. And the cheaper ones made of plastic so no point of buying them anyway, you need to buy the premium lens guard of 50$, which they stopped making later on. You dont get my point. Why could we not have those lens guards come with the cameras till now? Why waiting for X4?
@@Vela600 Well, plastic ones are kinda one time use, you use them once and they get full of scratches, then you need to discard them. Then there comes 'Glass" ones called Premium lens guards, which costed 50$, and they stopped making those after a while. So kinda left you at a dead end. Although its great to use no protectors at all but its gonna suck when you wipe the lens on something hard :3 And trust me you will, this aint a gopro.
weren't they the company encouraging youtubers to sponsor their products and not tell the audience they're sponsoring their product? sh*t company making sh*t products
They aren't paying you enough, you are a good salesman. I SWORE I would never give them my money again after SO MANY problems with previous products and other issues. But here you are, got me with a bundle in my cart. You've EARNED the moniker of "influencer", which I know you hate.
The picture quality of these insta 360’s looks sooo bad in my opinion. The colors are overly saturated and without ND it just looks unpleasant to the eye 👁️. Not even Peter McKinnon can make them look good. Even though he is one of the best out there. I hope I don’t offend anybody. And yes a little bit influencer style in this video. 😅
@@mariaandwolfi, I agree, but there has to be some give and take with varying technologies (dammit, I can't believe I'm on here defending Insta360 after they've wasted thousands of my dollars and treated me so poorly afterwards). It's like when "action cameras" first became a thing, it was accepted that, and still is, that you aren't going to get the quality or versatility of a camera with changeable lenses or larger sensors. But you could strap it to your surfboard, Bro! So it's the give and take and we can certainly be excited about, or, as Peter is stating, over-excited about, major leaps in certain aspects while not having ALL of them addressed. We also know they likely had all of this ready four years ago but they have to have new products to sell so they can't give it all to us all at once. I truly despise the treatment I've received from Insta360, it's been some of the worst I've ever experienced from a company that I've given a lot of money to... but they're still better than GoPro.
@@tamemayman3863, dammit! I know you're right! I have been through this. Why am I letting Peter "influence" me??? Side note, I like having a 360 camera and one of the things this company screwed me on was buying their dive housing, that comes with a specific "vertical" battery, which outright died after two uses. I have contacted the company and they have stated they stopped making the batter due to lack of interest. So I have this $170 piece of shelf ornament and no ability to take my camera diving. I did buy a dive housing for my phone but it's sub-optimal.
@@tamemayman3863 I had the first edition and they gave us features right before the two came out. Sales weren't there so they took all the features away and did a gaslighting campaign that one couldn't handle it when it had been for 3 weeks or more. So I'm being petty and never buying anything from them.
As an avid English learning Chinese who’s always been living in China and who happens to be a crazy vid and photo shooter, your vids are the chef’s kiss set for me to learn all the yumminess of photography and videography lexicons and of course when the language of an art is known, the art is known. Still as inspiring as every single post before. Thanks Pe.
Peter, this is sad. Was here from the low 10k subs. Ethics has left the chat along with my subscription. Not disclosing sponsorships for someone at your level is inexcusable. It would make ZERO difference in selling the product but 100% in keeping your integrity. ✌🏻
Stop crying and let the man eat, views aside bet you've never given him a dollar. And honestly the insta360 looks good if you bought you'd still have a good action camera.
Hi Mate! I just stumbled across this video and just wanted to say that everything you said was really well put together! You convinced me so bad I literally just bought the Inst X4 5 minutes ago! So excited! Your channel is underrated and deserves a lot more! Thanks mate!!!
Well, this was the promo videos of promo videos! When I saw the release this morning, I had a feeling it was going to be the X4 and purchased immediately! I love my X3 and AcePro! And you’re right, @insta360 is the future! Best action cameras in the business!
Peter's hype video was exciting, but I'm not completely convinced that the image and video quality surpass that of the x3. I think a side-by-side comparison might be necessary to see if it's truly a significant upgrade worth making. Am I the only one feeling this way after watching a few vids of it this morning? Seems like its totally worth it if its your first though.
Nice video - Great sales pitch! I have two x2's running 5.7K. I am inspired by the new features of X4 - but still happy with my X2 (since I only have competence to use half the features)... Feeling confident for when I next drown or screen-crack the X2. These Chinese techies are marvelous!
I've been holding off for YEARS to buy an Insta360 camera... just hesitant and hoping things would get better. Things. Are. Better! I'm ready to buy! Thanks, Pete.
Will it still look like jelly when filming with a motorbike ? - I am currently planning a long motorbike adventure around mainland Europe and just looking at GoPro 12......then I see this ! - what would you recommend Mr McKinnon, please ?
What is the exported 8K 360 to 16:9? I know 5K to 16:9 only came out to slightly above 1080P. You only got 8K when retendering out in 360 from Premier.
Great review, you really went all out on this one. And that does look like the best consumer 360 camera ever! Where is my credit card. Thanks for sharing.
SO COOL, and I love that we were standing under the Red Bull Planes watching them practice every day in Sulphur Springs. I lost my Insta360 x2 at an RV show, maybe it's time to replace it.
I watched a few objective reviews in which they not only praised a lot of features but highlighted the often present stiching issues and artifacts tagging along with all the marvelous things it can do.
I just picked up an Insta360 Ace pro (loved the vid where you gave 3 creators them to see what they could do). Really impressive! Took some lower light shots with my nephews running around a museum in Philly and was very impressed. I can only imagine what the 4X has opened up for creators now
I see this from the perspective of "core communications" rather than action cameras. The massive cost reduction alters the cost/benefit equation of traditional multi-cam if the offset of more work in post-production makes sense. I'm dabbling in this ASAP and currently thinking BIG MISTAKE that I missed this booth at NAB yesterday. Thanks Peter! Great video.
Curious if this means the ONE RS iteration is basically a paper weight at this point. On a few productions we've had pretty significant issues in low light, can barely punch in without suuuuper noticeable loss in res. Thought the larger sensor would be helping it out a ton but not as much of a difference as I would have thought.
I recently purchased my first insta360 camera (X3) and I’ve been impressed. The software/app is a lot easier to work with than I thought it would be. I just might upgrade and have two 360 cameras. Great review 👍👍
Pete - you've suggested some wicked stuff over the years....pretty proud that I was finally able to purchase one of your recommendations! Thanks for the free Invisible stick man!
Look sick, nice work Pete. Thanks for a great product review. I wonder if the waterproofing is any better on the X4 than the X3. Would love to get one of these in the surf. Cheers 🤙🤙
I want to use the X4 for moto vlogging. Would you recommend going premium for that? Because I suppose without a lens guard, it's easy for a stone to hit the lens, right?
How is your reflection in the TV/image/frame behind you working when none of the angles work for a reflection to take place? Me Confused :) @ 6 minute mark

Who here thought he was gonna say they asked him to not reveal this was a sponsorship?
lol . What a can of worms
he loves money more as he should in this world of "nobody cares"
I didn't think he'd say that for one second.
LMAO. That's why I came to watch it again lol
Pete dropping the sauce before insta360 themselves 🔥 unreal video as always 🫡
😂😂😂
weren't they the company encouraging youtubers to sponsor their products and not tell the audience they're sponsoring their product? sh*t company making sh*t products
Even if I never own any of those 360 action cameras, the reviews always amazed me.
Well, he himself said he's not big on action cameras so I guess he has much more fun reviewing then than actually using them afterwards.
@@soundscape26 And big $$$$
Can it handle lowlight and dynamic lighting yet ?
same half-inch sensor, so no
That intro took me back and I loved it. Still incredible. Glad to see another vid and honestly it’s insane how action/360 cameras have evolved
I just bought the x3 in January and it’s the best camera I’ve ever owned you never miss a shot with these cameras. Man now I gotta go get the x4 😂
X3 will do the job.

Have a X3, but is the extra pixels worth the upgrade? I still get better picture quality with my GoPro7 when reframing.

He kind of did at the very beginning. To paraphrase he said he has been paid by insta360 in the past to do content but this time he is blown away…

Great to see you back at it reviewing cameras and tech like in the good days! Can't wait to see the video on the eclipse shot!🔥
Ok but does it overheat like crazy? Because my rs 1nch only performs for 40 mins max and that’s if I take the case off.

Good comment though, however it now has h.265 and bitrate is higher, I can confirm this will have better colours and for grading, :)
@@OurSweetHideout …but same half-inch sensor, the most impressive factor
Such an awesome salesman
This is what a good review and sponsorship looks like. Other than that love the video, this makes me happy 😊.
I'm here for Peter, as usual 😂
Peter not wearing a black shirt is more impressive! Patiently waiting for the Bucket Shot 2!

This is the first video i started off my morning with and I'm already enjoying it, Great video pete! Keep doing what your doing
I see that pic in the background. The greatest picture of 2024 no doubt
As always, love to see you Peter…❤
I literally just purchased an X3 not knowing X4 was on the horizon...oh well. Great video and review as always though my guy!
Me too, but could still return. Not sure what to do. X4 seems to have the same 1/2" sensor.
Same. Thought they would not release until later in the year. Bummed
I was legit about to get an X3, now I'm almost grateful I had no money recently 😅
Good to know that I waited for this one! It looks like its going to inspire a lot of creators

How do you edit your insta360 video? Do you use there app or do you use another program?
It was amazing watching them fly during the eclipse! GREAT SH!T. Keep up the good work Pete.
I loved this because I just got an X4 today! I did not even know I could take a picture with a gesture when I bought it.
What is the exported 8K 360 to 16:9? I know 5K to 16:9 only came out to slightly above 1080P. You only got 8K when retendering out in 360 from Premier.
Around 2.7K or so
Amazing review, but yes, that Lens guards is totally worth the upgrade!
Having a mount leaves open the chance of NDs and special effect filters too!
Pete just quick drew 2 Insta 360s... to stick on Red Bull planes. Now that's bad ass. 💪
Can't even get the X4 on Amazon yet. He lives in the future.
insta360 probably passed him the product before the launch
I bought it off Amazon the day it came out and got it today. 2 days later
The Top Gunlike music made the video hit harder lol. Great Great Video!
I'm in the market for a 360 - perfect timing for this haha
But be careful not to fall for the bundles, they don't save you money, check my vid on it if you're interested
The intro was the prelude of the insta-gate
Ohhhhh retro intro! LOVE IT
Great footage! This camera is going to be perfect for my cycling videos and about 1000 other uses! Good video Pete!
Great review, you really went all out on this one. And that does look like the best consumer 360 camera ever! Where is my credit card. Thanks for sharing.
What is the reframed output resolution from insta-studio with the new 8K? that's all that matters.
Around 2.7k (against about 1080p for 5.7k)
Best intro hands down!
Got the free stick! You are why I started this content creation journey on YT. That's why I will always use your affiliate links if you have them.
Sick! Man 2022 seems like yesterday 😅 now we are here already getting 8k action cam
How are you mounting the cameras? What adhesive since you have to remove the mount?
Super curious do they record in LOG?? Bro your color grading on this video is perfect!
Totally agreed...such a great camera! Also, those Redbull shots 🔥
Wow you keep raising the bar. I was right all along. You are the most creative person I know. Well done Pete. ❤
what a intro! what a camera! man this is awesome
I feel extra passion from you on this one, it defo impressed you!!
Alright, we got the message. We will see the demo of Insta 360 X5 from the ISS. You're an incredible man!
Wow The Epic Showcase is just insane 🔥

The price isn’t bad for those specs at all. Can’t wait to try this one out!
4:30 are those the standard lens guards or premium lens guards?
is this footage all auto or did you set it up for the 180? its gorgeous!
YESS the intro is back! anyway shhh time to watch with drink and snacks!
The best vlogging camera too!
it feels so good to get that intro back again

did you use lenseguards while you were filming on the airplane for example ?

Bought one yesterday….after watching this…glad I did. Love your vids
It's a great action camera. Just unboxed mine & immediately made a tutorial. Nothing on the market can touch it.
got one for my bday I haven't used but so excited to see what ib can do with this camera and my skating videos
Peter, what mounts did you use? Thanks !
