“At 2.5 inches, it’s…it’s massive” -David Manning

[@DavidManningvlog]

You’ve won… We’re an hour and a half into this launch, and you sir have won. Greatest Comment Ever Ever🏆 Enjoy your 2.5” trophy🤣🤣🤣

[@Visual_Global]

That's what she said! 🤣

[@JBOutside1]

Your videos are the perfect balance of specs, features, and actual real-world use cases. Best Insta360 X4 run-through...and I just watched them all. Great job David!

[@DocRock]

Brother good to meet you IRL yesterday. Great video of course. Appreciate the work. Mahalo Nui Loa 🤙🏽

[@ethenjordan2010]

So glad i waited! heck yes!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Now is the time! I got them to hook up the first 50 people to use my link with a free invisible selfie stick. This camera is so killer!

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video David! Thanks for making it.

[@DavidManningvlog]

I always appreciate you watching man!

[@TwoWheelsLangley]

Thanks David. You are always current, relevant, informative and entertaining.

[@setmeals]

Glad I've waited for the x4 😊 this will be my next action cam

[@paulyguard]

Always here for your reviews, thanks David 🙂

[@DavidManningvlog]

Very grateful for you being here🙌

[@paulyguard]

@@DavidManningvlog I think you did this a long time ago but would you possibly do another video on editing 360 footage. It's the thing that puts me off using my x3 and what would stop me buying the x4...

[@jessicashaun]

I love how thorough and real your reviews are!

[@michaelshabun9121]

The most down to earth guy on KZbin. So much joy watching all of your videos.

[@blmeanie]

great review, glad I waited with my x2, this is the upgrade I've been waiting for - Question for you, are your lens guards the basic ones or the premium ones, what is the difference?

[@HouseAndLotFinderph]

one of my best ytbers ! thanks !

[@eBoard3R]

⚡️🤙🏽🤟🏽🤙🏽⚡️ *Yewwwhh!* Finally 4k eBoardin 360 footage

[@boxertrix2540]

Looks good David. I have the 8k 1 inch RS which I use for virtual tour photography. How does the still image quality o the X4 compare to that?

[@AlexanderYK76]

Just ordered :-) THX David!

[@MrSpB2]

I've enjoyed using the Insta360 products and I'm now on my third one due to lens breakage, so it's great to hear that they now offer lens covers. I currently have the Insta360 go3 and I've just purchased the Insta360 Ace Pro. I'm curious about the low-light capabilities of the Insta360 X4; I'm interested to know if there's an improvement in that area?

[@rafaelvaldez4383]

You really can’t go wrong with this camera, I have the X3 upgrading…thank you for all you do amazing reviews keep the amazing job!!!

Any upgrade on lowlight capabilities on the X4? I have an X3 ,but it struggles at knight shooting.

[@Glennysworld]

Great review David as always, I had the X3 and loved it but I needed it indoors more than outdoors, so found the lowlight unusable for my needs. Do you know if this new camera has better low-light capability?

[@ChasePancamo]

Totally just purchased from your link! Can’t wait to try this thing out!

[@JimiCeleste]

Will the DJI mic 2 connect wirelessly through the AirPods like it does with the X3?

[@rowanwhile]

Great review!

[@mattjgraham]

Getting into action cameras because of this channel! 🙌

[@DavidManningvlog]

So rad Matt! Any questions you have on them, drop them here. This camera is wild!!!

[@scotthardesty]

I have 2 X3's. One is always at the shop getting the lens fixed. The lens protectors alone made me purchase this immediately. I can't find the clip you use to connect the DJI receiver to the X4. Where did you get that?

[@NilsdeRooij]

Awesome video dude! Thanks for nerding out onto the numbers with 2.7k in 8k30 reframing and on the read/write+wifi speed! Hadn’t come accross those yet! Thanks for throwing the marketing bs in to factual data! Now I know I can order it!

[@TheSek-]

Uau Bro! One of the first. What a god job!!!

[@drstew1]

Yeah man love your enthusiasm and every camera I have bought since watching your channel has been just wow the X4 arrives tomorrow👍🏾 shall i keep x3 ? Or have both

[@NickthaGeek]

Great vid as always. Camera looks leagues ahead of anything else out there. Even compared to the x3. Definitely on my shopping list. Alongside the dji pocket 3.

[@thirdletterc]

awesome review, but what about dark and low light situations? how does it compare to x2 and x3? better or equal?

[@MatthewFling]

X4 looks awesome. I want to know what Insta360 plans to do with the ONE RS 1-Inch 360 line?

[@thedavidwilliams]

Excellent review David! Im trying hard to stay away from my credit card right now!! 🤣 Do you know, was there an upgrade from the X3 image sensor??

[@Rollerlife]

Where that able to upgrade low light? Like with the ace pro?

[@foxboropd]

Just got my X4. Amazing! Still learning things as well as my Ace Pro I got 2 weeks ago. Thanks for the video cause honestly I was going to get the X3 but I’m glad I waited.

[@DavidManningvlog]

I'm so stoked you waited! Timing is key!

[@meing4853]

@@DavidManningvlogwhich is better? This one 360 x4 or Dji osmo action 4? Just need some opinion. Thanks. Love your video.

[@JBOutside1]

oh, but here's a question: does the previous mic adapter latch on to the x4?

[@JUSTINRYANPRODUCTION]

I had just purchased an X.3 to upgrade from my Xone that I’ve had for several years. The resolution boost has me wondering if topaz would be a great way to upscale your X.3 footage.

[@SteveSmith-xw7xi]

I know it’s diff use cases. But I have an X3x just bought an Ace Pro. Primarily for the dash cam. I don’t shoot a ton of video and the dash cam adds ROI. The x4 has dash cam. Do I return my Ace Pro and sell my x3 and get the x4? Or keep the x3 and Ace Pro??? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Gotta figure out what gives me the best benefit. I know the use cases are diff. I’d live the low light of the Ace Pro. I hike and bike. I could keep 2 cams and run Ace Pro up front and x3 in back? First world problems making this choice. Lol

[@paulhadley8440]

iI was about to order an x3 in late March. I'm glad I procrastinated. Very helpful Vid.

[@InfiniteEnthusiast]

does this do well in low light ? like the ace pro ?

[@leapnlarry]

I lost my x3 kitesurfing in the outer banks last summer so buying an x4 is an easy decision. Dude where do you get that kind of energy, every youtube should watch and deliver this kind of energy. Larry

[@brentcharlton1065]

Do you still get the fish eye look when shooting with just one camera? On the fence with this vs Ace Pro…

[@salloredo5893]

I have a Dji mini 3 pro. Will the footage be close to the quality of my drone. I have a Dji action 2 and I pair the video together and looks good. Will x4 match?

[@Democratiser]

I’ve really appreciated your videos over the generations of the Xs and other 360 cameras. Thank you! So the question in my mind now is whether a new model of the Insta360 1 inch line is around the corner? And if so, will it be ‘the one’ to get?

[@tomandchristyadventures1344]

Does the mic adapter and quick reader from the x3 work with the X4? I understand the overall size is bigger

[@stephenmorris6202]

Been a while David. Heard about the camera and headed to your site. Content excellent but an entertaining and well put together review. Like others, interest in low light. Oddly, one of the most appealing features is the lens cover: totally necessary and a slick implementation. Best wishes to you.

[@DavidManningvlog]

The lens covers are MASSIVE for me! Takes away so much anxiety of using these things without covers. I think the 360 camera world hasn’t really addressed low light specifically yet because there’s already so much processing already happening on board to create the 360 photo/videos. Maybe we’ll see a low light mode in future versions!

[@HouseAndLotFinderph]

one of my best ytbers ! thanks ! Im on x2 and wanna get these for quality , lens caps , and voice !!!

[@808islandlife_HI]

nice review!

[@AdrianEdwards16]

Thanks David.... getting the x4 100% 👊

[@colestudios]

Can I hook the DGI mic2 up directly to the X4? Like through Bluetooth or wireless? Or do I have to use the receiver and an audio jack on the X4 if it has one?

[@RonaldBrown59]

The new Insta360 X4 seems like a nice upgrade from the X3. Great review, and thanks for sharing.

[@tangoadvance8393]

Nice review Dave, looking at the footage I can't help but notice it seems to stutter a lot, really noticeable on the stripy roof top at 1:03 but also present in other places??

[@NarrativeEscapes]

Does rhe X4 work with the original wireless go? I assume the adapter is agnostic but it doesnt list it in the compatibility.

[@micahgrauso5028]

Great job David as always. After using the X3 all weekend with ski gloves on, I wish the start and stop button was larger like a GoPro start stop button . I always had to take my glove off to hit start and stop. Otherwise the X3 is amazing and will probably upgrade to the X4 based on your review. 🤙🏻

[@Movelectrics]

Is the mic adapter output stereo? Previous ones were all mono

[@DG-eg3jh]

How is the speed on saving 360 HDR Photos and Photos in 72MP? On my X3 it takes about 15 - 25 seconds to save.

[@ChrisColgan]

Does only the X4 have the drone feature? or can you do that on the 3?

[@jellebigge]

Does it also comes with an inbuild skyrepacement tool David? 😅

[@Slow-Life26]

Can it be used with the ace pro remote ?

[@Andrey_Antonov.]

Hi, how much does this camera weigh now? I broke a selfie stick last week while snowboarding. Take a look at me (the penultimate video of the announcement) how it happened. I see that you are also very active on the boards, isn't this camera a little heavy now?

[@sfromd]

low light performance compared to the ace pro?

[@MrEddieNunez]

I am finally going to upgrade my X2. The lens guards and the 8K sold me.

[@wolefreeman]

Are the z3 accessories compatible with the x4

[@TheOrdinaryUnordinaryGuy]

Would be interested to see some low light action on this! Does the AI chip and the lense improvements have any impact on that?

[@pcoussa]

David, does it have HDMI out at all?

[@babyandromeda8762]

Would this be a nice camera for gym videos?

[@PhilipLemoine]

Meet you in Maui!

[@gabrielhunter4268]

Biggest announcement in 360 world for me! I have the sony a7r v , dji osmo pocket 3 but this is the one I was waiting for. I had the x3 and sold it with hopes that x4 will come this year, and here it is!!! I was hoping for 1'' sensor but probably will be much bigger. Anyway, is better than x3. Thank you so much!

[@awilkoff]

I shoot 360 hdr stills for vfx. What are the photo hdr options and settings?

[@paulvenus2007]

Where do I find that dji mic adapter for the x4?

[@ZephyrTravels]

David - I have a question on the Insta360 X4 - Is the 8K spread out over the 360 degree of view? When you are editing the video on post production the clip are you using is much less than 8K?

[@hamzariza4854]

What hair product are u using please? 😊

[@Kevin-oz9fw]

David, can the X4 be used as a studio camera or an action camera like the AcePro now or is the 360 lens capture still too odd for that kind of regular use?

[@DavidManningvlog]

I'm not sure your exact use case, but if it's stationary it does fairly well in lower light situations, but this camera does definitely appreciate a good bit of light

[@4WheelingSA]

Looks like an awesome tool!

[@caseybondoc8692]

Can you comment on if the lens guards cause a glare with the shots in your update video? Thanks Dave!

[@someguysomewhere100]

WARNING: Insta360 has reportedly requested that creators it sponsors avoid disclosing that their videos are sponsored. This appears to be the case with the channel in question. This lack of transparency equates to blatant shilling. The FTC rules state that Disclosures should be made in a place where they are easy for viewers to notice and understand. They should not be hidden or buried in footnotes, in blocks of text people are unlikely to read, or in hyperlinks. The disclosure should be within the video content itself (not just in the description) and at the beginning of the video, where it is less likely to be missed. At no point was this done in this video. If there's any question about whether this video is sponsored, the giveaway in the description offering a ‘free selfie stick’ should clear things up. This promotion is exclusive to Insta360 sponsors.

[@Scipio-xr2tz]

Yes, I was really disappointed. That means all his content is suspect.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Not the case here. I work with a lot of different companies and have never had the experience that some creators were mentioning. If a video is sponsored, you’ll see a pop-up and me mentioning it👍

[@stilmotionpicture]

Can we connect the DJI MIC 2 via Bluetooth in the x4 for external audio recording?

[@bayourunner2]

Awesome video. Mines on order.

[@RenaldoQuestelles]

Hey David, Do you think this could be used for a podcast setting? With reframing to show the person who's speaking ?

[@ElvisCarReviews]

Thanks for a great reieisa

[@jamestjackson]

What size SD card do you need to record 8K 30 for 90mins?

[@RAYLYNREALITY]

Should I get this or the pocket 3? Looking to use it for cinematic type travel videos.

[@dougscott188]

The Pocket 3 is going to be more cinematic it has the one inch sensor. I have one and the quality is phenomenal. I also have an X2 and will probably get this. I use it on my motorcycle. The ability to reframe shots is amazing. But remember this thing is 8k for the entire field so it is not as high resolution as the 4k Pocket 3. If you get the Pocket 3 get the combo with the mic. It’s a cool little package.

[@jking7519]

How does the X4's low light performance compare to the X3? Same or better?

[@EternalMedia]

The elephant 🐘 in the room is LOW LIGHT. Is there any improvement in that regard? And can you do an image quality comparison with the One RS 1-inch 360 camera?

[@IamDJFTR]

Agreed. For my content capturing needs, low light performance is crucial, and I haven't found much from other reviewers yet about this. Especially after having the DJI Pocket 3, my low light hopes/expectations may be unrealistic for the X4 lol

[@TheLotusManFILMs.]

@@IamDJFTR ' I haven't found much from other reviewers yet about this' That's because it isn't good in low light, none of the channels promoting this camera are 'reviewers' they are all paid sales people and they get a 5% commission on every sale through their affiliate links, none of them are going to mention a flaw of the product, you'll have to wait for actual reviews by people that haven't been paid to sell the camera.

[@achavesbarrantes]

same here! I don't want to upgrade until this is addressed.

[@IamDJFTR]

@@achavesbarrantes I'd recommend checking out a review from "The 360 Guy", he has a low light section of his review comparing it to the X3.

[@AlistairBeckett]

Hi. Check out Ben Claremont’s review. He compares x4 low light with x3 and One inch RS

[@OpenMind3000]

Those lens guards are nice. I scratched every insta360 lens I have had.... and I have had a lot

[@VinceKBand]

Hey, David. I really hope you see this and could help out. I heard there’s a Low Light mode on the X4 but cant find any videos on it. Can you tell us if youve any insight on that and maybe if youve done anything with it. Thanks

[@apexvenomm]

what about the sensor size? No one is talking about the sensor size. if the sensor is same as the previous gen then a update will make X3 as x4?

[@JimFlanneryDRONES]

Love my X3 already, but am wondering about using the DASH CAM on POWER function to leave in my truck "just in case."

[@SteveSmith-xw7xi]

Same.

[@SteveSmith-xw7xi]

Per Insta site dash cam is on this.

[@caseyolson0369]

What about 360 photos? I use my X3 for 360 hdr photos at 18 mp for real estate. Did they upgrade that part?

[@CMJ06]

Does it have good zoom?

[@Lliamhd]

Would really love to see how long you can run it for before /if it overheats. I know you said you couldn't get it to overheat, but don't know how long that was for (unless I missed it).

[@jsalvemini3439]

We are getting into Jetsons territory! I’m on board!

[@iammcmags6557]

If you edit and take a frame does it still 1080?

[@Razorwolf88]

Can you make a comparison vid between the x4 and the osmo pocket 3

[@ceejezzyes06]

I stopped using the X3 because the video quality wasn’t great. You could tell it came from an action camera. But now x4 looks amazing. I am not a fan of the warping that these action camera produce. How “flat” or linear can you make the shots look like after shooting 360?

[@TheMabiNerd]

How does it stack up to the RS1 inch?

[@JerrillCamarillo]

Question: Will water seep into the lens guard? For example, rain. @insta360

[@Brian-kw1kj]

Hi can you tell us what x3 accessories we will need to replace for the x4?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yeah, anything that relies on the thickness of the camera to fit. So cages won’t work with the new camera, but the mic mounts that go up the side of the camera will work👍

[@tommieingle]

How is the insta360 x4 with low light?

[@danaf8902]

That 11k timelapse looked like 1080p with sharpness set to 1000%

[@Reedith]

Is that a good or a bad thing ?

[@bruceskousen5451]

You really can’t judge the resolution with a KZbin video.

[@MtnXfreeride]

​@Reedith bad, but I'll wait for a larger example before judging. Ordered the camera anyway.

[@makatron]

Remember it's been compressed to oblivion by KZbin.

[@Reedith]

@@MtnXfreeride exactly I wish these KZbin videos also put a dropbox link in the description with the full Rez Time-lapse is/some of the RAW footage from the video

[@jpk.mp3]

dope action camera!

[@KirbyOng]

Hey David, X3 user from Singapore. Love all your videos. 2 questions. Does the card reader and mic adapter from the X3 work on the X4? Can you do a comparison with the standard lens guard with the premium lens guard.

[@alber3]

Some bad news: 1. Quick Reader from X3 are fit nice but NOT working with X4. 2. Mic adapter from X3 are fit nice but NOT working with X4. Nothing happend when I connect it to X4. You have to buy new versions exact;y for X4 :-( But there are some good news: 1. Standard Lens Guards are included. 2. Protective Pouch are included.

[@KirbyOng]

Thank you. I shall go order those items. All is not lost, the DJI MIC 2 works with X4. 😅
