Great review thanks. 👍🏽

[@RADIMIDIALuizLau]

Which wall charger do you use for the Insta360 X4 or the X4 Charger? Could it be the iPhone charger?

[@foXnoMad]

USB-C.

[@clagadymuf]

thankyou for a proper balanced review , very refreshing

[@jking7519]

Is X4 better in low light than X3? To shoot in 8K, do you need a more expensive, higher performance memory card?

[@foXnoMad]

Both are bad in low light and at 8k you're going to need a bigger card probably, the file sizes are big 🙃

[@pineapplecilantro]

Hi do u color grade the x4 videos? Or is the video original?

[@foXnoMad]

Yes, the same color grade (LUT) used throughout the video.

[@hayabusaTravels]

Neahh..still a long way to go! I'll wait for the X7 and maybe not get 2016 video quality from a $700 "action camera"

[@andpenn]

The X4 lacks some HDR features. The HDR photo implementation is very disappointing, with no options for the number of shots, +/-EV, or saving RAW HDRs.

[@merebor.]

Do the X3 supports that feature of HDR +/- EV?

[@blade1535]

Still rocking my X2

[@A-Viking]

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.

[@foXnoMad]

Get the biggest card you can, at 8k files are around 750Mb per minute.

[@A-Viking]

@@foXnoMad I have been using 1tb sandisk extreme on my ace pro and X3. im thinking how big can the uninterrupted recorded files become.. like 100+ gb?

[@foXnoMad]

I haven't recorded for that long but it's possible since you won't have the 30 minute cuts like you do on the X3.

[@janeseymour5226]

GREAT REVIEW💙

[@Divyamshu-ij3uc]

pleAse add Timestamps to each sections in the videos...

[@iamearthbeing]

: Minimum distance between the camera and a subject? Like, if i want to get a closeup content...

[@foXnoMad]

Depends on the mode but in 360, you will get significant distortion as you get close up. Also, need to be careful of the stitching lines.

[@abhinikam105]

Can i use 5,.7k in single lense mode in insta360x4

[@foXnoMad]

No, maximum 4k.

[@almartin4]

Does X4 support linux yet? Regards

[@foXnoMad]

Not that I'm aware of. Might be best to reach out directly to their support to see what your options are.

[@TankTheSpank]

You can connect this to external power bank and record, but this increase the heat

[@JoshAronoff]

Disheartening to hear about the sponsorship ethical issues with insta360. Good review thanks for it

[@eldiabolico3750]

So basically what EVERYBODY is saying... mention ONE thing that the other reviewers haven't.

[@foXnoMad]

Your comments are great.

[@eldiabolico3750]

@@foXnoMad I wish I could say the same about your video. Perhaps click baiting tittles aren't the best strategy to get more subscribers? Yes, you've got 1 more view but no sub. Just my 2 cents.

[@thedenvershow4542]

What nobody’s talking about is they remove the WebCam feature! Pay more money get less features!

[@ifoxino]

nice review, thanks, u have a nice nickname, i am Foxino ;-)

[@foXnoMad]

Thanks! And good name choice 🦊

[@andreas9119]

I got about 59 minutes recording (test) with 23 celsius room in 8k. I haven't shot outside a whole lot yet (49 ambient) Thanks for the video -- a different perspective. I agree the X4 seems like an inbetween product. It's my first 360 camera (have an Ace Pro I am mostly happy with) and the ecosystem is decent.

[@foXnoMad]

49 outside! Guess you are in the right place to test for heat issues in extreme conditions. Enjoy filming with it, 360 cameras really change what you can capture 📸

[@RenaldoQuestelles]

Thanks for this. I'm considering buying this to record my podcast which is usually about 2 hours long in an Air conditioner environment. Now it's just to find out if it does stay on for 2 hours, what size memory card to use.

[@andreas9119]

@@RenaldoQuestelles at least 512gb

[@khiemsola]

valueable video, thank you for making this

[@foXnoMad]

I appreciate the comment, thanks!

[@olisil]

Good topics, but I've experienced a totally different downside of Insta360. I know many of you use Macs, but the Studio software on Windows doesn't support several GPU's well at all. Playback and the whole UI gets laggy, almost unusable. I've been in contact with their tech support for over 6 months (!!) about this, even video chats where they confirm the problem, and don't have a solution. If not the primary and only GPU, they don't support Nvidia 3050 Portable or Nvidia4070Ti (external Thunderbolt GPU in my case). They want me to disable all but the base Intel GPU in my laptop (then it runs well, but of course without the benefits of higher-end cards), which is a crazy workflow, because other video editors used for production won't work well then. So. Very cool videos, WOW factor watching marketing videos, but the workflow is smashed into pieces in the end. They've offered another SD card, but still refuse refunding. That's ripping people off! Be careful with Insta360.
