Is 360 Video FINALLY Good? | Insta360 X4 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- The X4 is the latest 360-camera from Insta360 with a headlining feature: 8K resolution. It's been a while since I've revisited 360 video cameras and my goal with this video is to figure out if it's finally "good enough" to be adopted by content creators and filmmakers.
DISCLOSURE: This video is NOT sponsored by Insta360. I reached out to Insta360 on if I could get a copy of the new camera to test and produce an honest review and they obliged. I received a free copy of this camera to make this video for your guys, but Insta360 had zero input into this video.

What's your experience been with 360 cameras & footage? Thoughts on the X4's image quality? 💭
I think of my X3 sometimes as a camera which can appear to be several cameras at once, by reframing without panning later (which seems to be an underused technique). Also it is a camera which allows me to enjoy the moment on family or tourist occasions without having to have my eye glued to a viewfinder. Just wave it in the air, or put it on a tripod in the middle of the action, and sort it out later. When it comes to workflow it's worth pointing out that the Studio version 5 PC app now allows reframing etc and editing together multiple clips in one pass, for those who don't want to use a second editor for that (and who think like I do that one-pass editing is at least in theory better than two passes). Finally, I almost cried when I heard the bonk of the lens of your X4 hitting the table - followed shortly after by a shot where the lens looked a bit dirty or scratched... I never put my X3 down unless onto a soft surface. Will I get the X4? I'm sorely tempted but I keep buying / upgrading cameras but then not actually using them... Anyway, great video, thanks for posting.
Using a 360-camera to appear like a multi-cam setup is genius! And yeah, my muscle memory of being more gentle with 360 cameras hasn’t developed enough yet haha-thanks for watching!
I like the idea of a 360 camera but I just don’t know if it would sit and collect dust other than me using it for real estate. Great breakdown as alway!
Awesome video! But I wonder how does it wagers against Insta360 One RS 1-Inch with X4. Specifically in Dynamic range/HDR performance, low lights and in-camera audio quality.
Great video thanks ! In which light conditions should we use active HDR in 5.7K ?
For social media do we export the video we made in ProRes format ?
Am thinking of adding a 5th camera angle using 360.
Currently using 3cam interview set up with dji pocket for wide coverage.
Planning to take advantage of the circular earth effect as a creative shot.
My only concern is if it would take away from storytelling, and recording over 20mins video be pain in the transcoding.
Curious on your thoughts on this matter. And does the earth look work well on indoors?
That'd be a creative way to use 360! I agree with 20+ minute recordings potentially being an issue (the X4's 8K mode indicates that it can potentially overheat but I filmed for about 10-12 minutes outside in the heat without issue, though the X4 did get pretty warm), transcoding though it's not the worst thing in the world, just adds a few minutes to your workflow. The Earth effect works well indoors as long as there's sufficient lighting.
@@DavidZhou noted thank you!
How big are the biggest files you got from the X4?
i would like to run it with a powered selfiestick for up to 4 hours roadtrip with the gps data in 1 file instead of many 30min, like on my X3.
Tnx.
i need a 360 cam that can film for 2-3 hours nonstop without overheating at 40-45 celcius. waterproof for surfing beach saltwater. is there a option?
Which wall charger do you use for the Insta360 X4 or the X4 Charger? Could it be the iPhone charger?
I have an Anker wall charger that can push high output so I can charge the X4 faster, but I’m pretty sure you could use an iPhone wall charger as well!
@@DavidZhou Which Anker model? Do you use the Anker charger directly on the camera or the Insta360 charger?
@@RADIMIDIALuizLau I don't remember the model of the wall charger, but yes I just plug the USB-C cable to the wall brick and straight into the X4 (since I only have one battery). If I had multiple batteries, I'd probably pick up a charging dock :)
Hey mate, what tool did you use for the behind the back backpack shot ?
I used the Insta360 3m(9.8ft) extended selfie stick and probably had it extended out about 5 feet and then just held the stick behind me while balancing it on my shoulder!

I love videoing concerts. This looks like a cell phone. Would this be an improvement over I phone or android. Sorry if dumb question lol
This would definitely be a cool way to film a concert, especially if you want the 360 footage to be able to revisit it from that perspective/via VR goggles.
If you’re just looking for a static video though (like a 16:9 video), then it has pros and cons and in my opinion I’d personally rather shoot that on the latest smart phone over it just out of sheer convenience (because honestly phone footage can look fantastic). A lot of concert venues won’t allow selfie sticks though and that makes shooting with 360-cameras a bit difficult.
Hope this helps!
Can I use this to video an area, then turn it into a game map?
I'm not sure if this is the best way to do that, LiDAR would be better I'd imagine? But you could use this to capture photos for 3D lighting/environmental reflections!
Sure, low light can be improved but still love this camera. It's the most versatile use immersive and creative interviews n vlogging for my Society x Culture News channel for my 800k followers social media. I love the overall image quality for third-person perspective, like an establishing shot. use it in what i call the utimate vlogging combo. The X4 (B-CAM third person shots) n Osmo pocket 3 [MAIN CAM) . Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses is a plus for POV..I use two DJI Transmitters (TX) with my Osmo pocket 3 had already bought one to use with my insta360 X3 (now using X4).
I’m surprised by the audio
Me too I really thought it wasn’t going to do well, but really pleasantly surprised!
if i could use with ND filters I would buy it
The one thing I sorely miss when I shoot with action cameras & 360 cameras 😭
I just ordered one. When I get it I'll work on an adapter for it. That's something I would like as well. I could probably use drone filters. 👍
