GoPro Hero 13 vs Insta360 X4: ONE Is A Great Action Camera!

[@3DDDTriple]

HOWEVER - I prefer the X4 😉

[@Regantdarcy]

I ditched my GoPro for an Insta360 X camera and haven’t looked back. Yeah, one can argue that the GoPro has better video quality, and that’s true. BUT, the Insta360 X camera is good enough with other benefits that make it a superior action cam in my opinion. I make action videos & vlogs on my bike, and what I love about the Insta360 X, is that I don’t have to think about it. Unlike the GoPro, I don’t have to worry about framing at all. I just place the camera, and concentrate on my ride. Then later in editing, I have INFINITE editing options. This ability is a total game changer.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Great - thx for sharing!

[@Jarred_IRL]

Exactly what you said. Normal cameras - I'll fix it in post X4 - I'll frame it in post 😂

[@octny]

ok, but shooting in 360 does not generate too big file sizes?

[@Jarred_IRL]

@@octny if you render in h.264 or h.265 they're not too big, but if you plan on exporting from the 360 studio app into premiere or vegas without rendering artifacts and quality loss, the pro res file is very big. if you have any questions feel free to ask!

[@enigmab8978]

Yaeh,but its so pricey,you need to get another mic because the mic is trash,you need to get a protective case.accesories with insta is expensive.

[@MrHennessE]

Before even watching this video I’m putting it out there. You cannot compare an action camera with a 360 degrees camera and vice verse. That being said I absolutely love running my GoPro Hero 12 and my Insta360 OneX2 simultaneously. As a duo, it’s an unstoppable action solution entirely.

[@octny]

exactly. these cameras are not competitors but they complement each other. like android and iphone.

[@habana6595]

I had a Gopro 9, then i bought the X3, after that i never used my Gopro again. I just sold the Gopro, also the X3 and bought the X4 ! Those 360 cameras are so versatile !

[@danielvanderklok8138]

That is helpful. What was the differences between the x3 and x4?

[@habana6595]

@@danielvanderklok8138 The video quality difference is very noticeable ! And the X4 processor is definitely faster (faster recording time when pushing the button).

[@jhskog]

This was super helpful! I have been researching this topic and this video helped me make my decision! I like the selfie capabilities, invisible stick and the positive remarks about the X4 app. Will be buying the X4! thank you!

[@StewartBell-im8qg]

Would be interesting to see a low light comparison between the one RS 1inch 360 & the X4.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Ok - thx for the input - I'll think about it

[@cthulu_oldone]

The problem with the 360X3/X4 camera is the distortion and flattening of water fearures say for windsurfing when focusing on rider. I love the framing flexibility but not the distortion. A Gopro has problems of framing but much less distortion.

[@jeffholzinger6967]

Thanks for putting together this amazing comparison video!

[@bnajbert]

Ace Pro 2? When? Should I return the Ace Pro I just bought?

[@MountMediaChannel]

According to the leaks very soon...

[@thecorporategypsy]

I have a GP 360 and in addition to be tricky to use, the stitched together film is not great quality (1080p). Is the Insta you reviewed demonstrably better?

[@MountMediaChannel]

There is a X3 vs GoPro Max and a X3 vs X4 video on my channel. Check these videos out to see the differences

[@thecorporategypsy]

@@MountMediaChannel superbthanks!

[@BURNOUTBMX]

i am not have go pro cam . but have x4 … 3 dias use , and fell have nice quality imagen

[@leonfisher]

Just a few more days until DJI drops the Action 5. I'll be waiting for your review.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes - I'm very curious to see how good the Action 5 will be!

[@ibrahimman3]

I bought Go Pro Hero 12 last February, and sold it a month later. It really feels outdated. From the horrible software, to the horrendous app and stabilization, there isn't a world I would recommend this in. I currently own Insta 360 X4, Go 3S, and Dji Pocket 3. They all achieve what they are set out to do with amazing 1st party accessories that aren't too overpriced like the go pro. The insta360 software especially does everything for you and more.

[@Crotoua]

Horrendous stabilization ?? Compared to what ?

[@perazdera5639]

Gopro have best stabilisation of all action cameras.

[@Zhen-Lin-CHN]

@@perazdera5639 lol, when comparing GoPro with Insta360 and DJI Action, GoPro is the easiest to overheat.

[@Zhen-Lin-CHN]

Same here, i got Insta 360 X4、Go 3S 和 Dji Pocket 3, insta ACEPro, DJI ACTION.

[@perazdera5639]

@@Zhen-Lin-CHN gopro 12 never overheat when i was use him. And i was wear him on my head strap riding bicycle 2 hours on 40 degree on sun these summer with continuoes recording 4k 30 frames. So stop talking about gopro overheating.

[@emmteeceer]

How is the X4 in cold weather for skiing? I had the first Insta 360 camera but I returned it because 1) I couldn't see the screen in bright sunlight and 2) the battery died so fast in the cold and it wasn't replaceable. Are the batteries replaceable? Otherwise, I think it wouldn't work well for me for skiing.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi - yes the batteries are replaceable - I personally never had problems with the cold - but I usually put it in my pocket on the ski lift

[@Jarred_IRL]

In my experience even the x4's auto settings will leave the sky washed out. I've since learned to use the manual settings and the quality is amazing. Perfect clarity on both foreground and background I've never used it in cold conditions (yet) but if youre using 8k it gets pretty toasty, so I don't imagine cold weather being an issue The 35 feet of waterproofing without a housing is good too. Batteries last a good while, plus they're easily interchangeable

[@Jarred_IRL]

Also I use the GPS wrist strap and it's perfect for seeing a preview and changing settings on the fly

[@TarunRathlavath-pq7eq]

bro please make comparison between x4 and 16 pro max please

[@markwornom1050]

I'm looking hard at a 360 camera but I'm too picky and want the 10bit recording capability. That's why the X4 is a no sale for me and I'm waiting to see what the GoPro Max 2 will bring.

[@alexanderholler1359]

What you think about the Kandao Qoocam 3 Ultra?

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi Alexander, didn't test it yet

[@ia6980]

although x4 gives bigger image on wide lens, the background has less details and the image doesn't looks as immersive as the hero, in hero even though its more cropped, the background image still gives you better detail of the background and better image quality

[@renzy6932]

Is this in meran???

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes

[@MlleVB]

Please x4 vs ace pro 2

[@AI4QT]

I am beginning to think that the Insta360 cameras are the biggest threat to GoPro`s survival. When Insta360 perfect the Single Lens video capture or make it on par or even superior to the GoPro13, GoPro will be finished.

[@orlandomarinjr]

The X4 is not the best 360. The One RS One inch edition blows it out of the water. That's why it's $800 vs $500 for the X4. Especially low light the X4 falls behind the one inch sensor

[@Jeffro5564]

Wait till dji action 5

[@Crotoua]

I own the « old » 360 GoPro Max (and a Hero 12) , which I love because of the better colors IMO than all I see out of the Insta and DJI.l I hope there will be a Max2. BTW, are the Insta lens covers replaceable, which seems mandatory for an action camera ? Same remark for ND filters I don’t think you can use on the Insta. As you said : the Insta 360 is not really an action camera, but a camera for creative views like “little “planet”, or to film oneself. Like any other 360 camera (Ricoh Theta, GoPro Max…) In contrast, you can bring your GoPro (Hero or Max) everywhere, including water.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi - the X4 is waterproof just like the GoPro - but yes, it's more fragile. There a are replaceable lens covers for the X4

[@alexanderreitz321]

I was the first person to like your video! Never has happened before

[@MountMediaChannel]

Great! Thx Alexander!

[@ratravision]

Good work and comparison 🎉

Great video, as usual

Your videos are awesome 👍.. nxt level 🎉

[@TyreeTheTraveler]

My GoPro hero 12 overheated and froze all the time. I’ll never do gopro again

[@MrZACATECANO100]

Hero better other just at night, adventure recording is at daytime the majority of time.

[@tomylee]

360 Cam looks always unreal. You can see that in many films on KZbin and it looks not good.For a main action cam I would always go with a non 360.

[@perazdera5639]

X4 deform picture and it is not real action camera because have fragile lense hood. Gopro is way better. Im waiting ice pro 2 to see new things

[@RayR0041]

Love gopro cameras but their support is the worst!

[@utube521]

do you know any action cam that can replicate human eyes: ~180 degrees, with liner view, and the same distance to the objects as the human eye sees? ... or our human race is still too under developed for that kind of technology? thank you.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi, sorry but no idea

[@bainoe]

GoPro is still the beast.

[@reason1]

X4 win....

[@drifterdogs]

Such a joke.. you don’t wave your camera around when filming. The GoPro clearly has better results in its classic use case. Nobody will say it.

[@Spyder2010ify]

The Insta X4 is mich better than Gopro13. For me Gopro is dead.

[@smitthone]

don't think it's meaningful to compare an action camera with a 360 one.

[@Batcave4956]

Fr😮

[@paulnoll9835]

Apples and oranges, two completely different cameras !!! Same ole BS every time a new one is released. All BS !!

[@Batcave4956]

Insta360 is not good at all Gopro is much better

[@Jeffro5564]

New DJI Osmo action 5 pro better than all of them combined hahahahah

[@Batcave4956]

@@Jeffro5564 maybe

[@JunkChannelIGuess]

The ace pro is simply better if you look at basically any comparison on KZbin. The only reason people buy GoPro is because of their marketing and whenever you think of an action camera, you think GoPro because they started it, but their sensor is simply smaller, which also results in worse image quality, and the other ones also have an AI 5 nm chip.

[@JunkChannelIGuess]

Now for the times for the reason qualities worse is because it’s a 360 can’t you 360 then you get the X4 if you don’t need a 360 camera then you get an action camera and they will have better image quality

[@mikevfx7108]

Both are good. Insta 360 is good for cspturing wide view like sky diving, paragliding. Gopro is good as well for quality

[@SEOULITE]

The X4 has terrible low light capabilities compared to the One RS 1-inch 360. The Gopro 13 is even worse. If Insta360 could embrace 10bit it would beat all of its competitors.

[@ibrahimman3]

but atleast it stays stable in lowlight unlike something like the gopro, but for lowlight definitely go for the Ace Pro

[@octny]

@@ibrahimman3 i use the hero 7 black with karma grip in low light. It works great!
