Insta360 X3 Vs Insta360 X4: Worth The Upgrade?

[@habana6595]

I used your affiliated link and they gave me a free extra battery for the X4 ! So awesome !

[@Best360]

Great! Thank you for your support! 😄👍🏽

[@yuriypotaychuk716]

Thanks for the interesting review. I'm staying with the X3 for now.

[@fatchili7424]

Thanks for the info 🤙🏼 Helped me decide on the best 360 cam for a beginner… On a seperate note: What’s the best motorcycle friendly 360 cam option? The X4 or the Ace Pro? For a beginner? Thank you again 😊

[@Best360]

Since the x4 can be used as a regular action camera as well I would go x4 so you have the option to be more creative with 360 as well

[@Ozpeter]

What a great summary! If I drop my X3 and damage the lens then I will definitely get the X4. Now, where is the nearest cliff?!

[@Best360]

😂

[@WiljanWiljan]

Upgrade from X3 to X4 would be great. However you also need to buy new batteries, a new mic adapter. These are not compatible from X3 to X4. Next the low Light performance of the X4 is not a huge improvement compared to X3

[@Best360]

Yes it’s the same image sensor so just a little less noisy in lowlight I would say

[@The123el]

No olvides el gps, el gps de la x3 no es compatible con la x4

[@roninr8199]

Huge improvement. There is no improvement at all. I was expecting they will do it something like ace pro AI based enhancement but they did not

[@KeshavSingh-il1pg]

I have to purchase. Plz guide as a beginner which is better for me??

[@andrewpangan5535]

If you have the money go for x4

[@kkhalifah1019]

My One R died recently. Definitely pulling the trigger on the X4 for my ride out to Songkhla.

[@ajschroeter4645]

Does it work with android smart watches or apple only?

[@Best360]

apple watch only i believe

[@ajschroeter4645]

@@Best360 that's a shame

[@jeep4dirt]

Will the one RS be refreshed or replaced and if so when?

[@hassanalishahrokhi4401]

Do you know Why X4 doesn’t have same function as X3 for virtual tour?

[@Best360]

I’ve asked them for it since April. No sign of it 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

All those listed features in the X4 is of minor importance for me. Slow mo here and slow mo 240, its mostly gimmicks that you will use once and then forget about. Only thing that is important for me and which is very hard to get a straight answer to is: Is it possible to export a frame from the 8K 360 sphere in true 4K quality? That is what I think most should be interested in. Imagina being able to always get a 4K quialite video that you can choose from the entire 360 sphere in the camera. This would mean that you never need to aim youre camera, you could just shoot in 360 at all times and then just choose whatever 4K frame you want. X3 cant do this, im not sure X4 can either?! Maybe X5 in a year?

[@Ozpeter]

In order to get 4k from an 8k 360 video you would have to reframe to more than 180 degrees. The X3 typical reframe is said to be 1440 and the X4, 2.7k.

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

@@Ozpeter It will be amazing the day the X has such a big res that when you pull out the frame it is in 4K quality. Seems like most things below 4K today feels a bit meeh. But im guessing the file size will be Huge then.

[@Ozpeter]

@@oldschoolgaming4763 If I remember correctly, 4K typical reframe requires 12K 360 image to start with. There are some professsional 360 cameras that can do that but they cost something like $20K. Will all that change one day? Well, who can tell...

[@Best360]

2.7k at best in 8k360. But you can capture 4k30 using freeframe video mode with a single lens (non 360)

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

This comment is literally what I've been dreaming for since GoPro Max years ago when i bought it only to find out its not even close when u try to do that, and i was wondering if 360 x3 could do it and you just answered my question im dreaming for this day you are sharing!

[@avdronebr]

In the last update, they added support for third-party software like OBS to live stream in 360, have you tested this out? I am really intertested in that since I could use the internet in the computer to live stream events. Thank you for your videos, they are really informative!

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

Oh shit! Seriously!!?? For x3 too?

[@Hisako86]

Which would u recommend for bts videos is the x3 good enough for low light situations

[@Best360]

I’d still go for x4. It’s newer and better

[@BloodToDust]

Had to return my x3 then the x4 as both suffer from overheating. Apparently its a big issue with most 360 cameras, unless you use it in high winds on your car or motorbike. I wanted it for hiking and golfing but it would overheat after 20 minutes or so and wouldn't save half the videos. Very unhappy. I was even willing to look past having to set up the ISO and shutter speed every time because it couldn't get it right. Where it did shine was the pictures it took but too expensive for just pictures.

[@Best360]

I’ve personally never had any issues with overheating but I only record up to 10 mins at a time. Try auto exposure -0.7 when starting out. It will save you from constantly choosing the settings

[@unconventional_health]

What temps were you using it in?

[@Best360]

@unconventional_health 30 degrees

[@someoneelse95]

I hope X5 gets the 1" sensors. I have not noticed any "WOW" quality image difference yet.

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

When is x5 release? You mean like next year?

[@someoneelse95]

@@VincentOrtegaJr Yes, I am not in the rush.

[@fishycomics]

X4 is a killer cam had to give back to hard on my machine X3 may be better, if nor X2 here I came again X4 lowest res, standard bitrae and H264 did not work on my 3 year old Lenovo Lol

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

Say what? Had to give it back x3 better?

[@zenseekerEric]

Great comparison! I sure wish Insta360 would update the X4 firmware to allow for AEB .DNG so I could use my X4 for virtual tours. I've been very impressed with its high resolution compared to my go-to virtual tour camera, the RS One 1 Inch.

[@Best360]

I’ve asked for bracketing in X4 on launch day… still nothing!

[@kishorekoli]

I am happy with my insta 360 one x3 and save my money 😂

[@Best360]

It’s still good! 👍🏽

[@lendmorecreditcorporation]

1.) Every time i shoot 8k do I need to remove the SD card and transfer it on to my tablet. or is download button option able to transfer the full 8k? and if not, how to make it download the full 8k video. 2.) Can I produce 8k videos with just the insta 360 app on Android or do i need to use Insta studio for mac/dekstop? 3.) is motion nd on by default? 4.) Whats thr best settings for indoor 8k 360. like for a house party? 5.) what is this "in camera stiching? should i set in on or off

[@Best360]

1. You can download it 2. App and desktop editing software can do it 3. No 4. Depends whether the camera is still or not 5. Leave it off

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

@@Best360why leave off in camera stitching? Doesn't this make the editing process faster?

[@TytusG]

what about the weight? need to know for drones

[@Best360]

X4 is 203g and x3 is 180g

[@MrTrazz09]

if the user is into pro videography wether for personal or commercial, upgrading to x4 is worth considering...otherwise x3 or even x2 is good enough

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

I feel like x3 is still pro quality though

[@brianmagicman3556]

Hi Shanil On my Ace Pro, I shoot in H.265 and high bitrate 4k 60fps auto When I look at video files I've recorded, it shows as H.264 and not H.265 Why is this? Do I need to adjust something? The Ace Pro is 2 days old so still brand new and, I have the latest firmware and all updates downloaded to my phone, camera and app so everything is up-to-date Can you help ??

[@Best360]

Sounds like a bug you need to report to insta360. They will know what’s wrong 👍🏽

which is best for a body cam? the X2 , X3 or GO 3?

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

On body cam how can you see behind you is it like on top your head? Or only front facing then?

[@Haruyuki-rv1gi]

In camera stitching has disadvantage, it takes few seconds longer to save. So for examble if you use interval shooting 3s, the actual interval is saving time + 3s.

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

What is this comparison on the x3 vs x4?

[@robertdoyle8972]

I have two of the x3’s but looking to get two of the x4’s also and loving the insta360 cameras I use to get all the new GoPros as they came out but after trying the insta360 x3 I wouldn’t be going back to GoPro

[@allenhuffman]

Well done. And now I know what Freeframe is for.

[@Best360]

It’s better than single lens video mode 👍🏽

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Thank you for all of the info! I am a happy X3 owner with enough accessories that the upgrade is not worth it to me ... at this time. We'll see about X5 :)

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

X5 like next year? This x4 is brand new right?

[@Haruyuki-rv1gi]

X4 also has in camera pureshot feature, and for me it is a disadvantage. Sometime the pureshot effect is too sharp, and I have no way to cancel it because it was burned to JPG file. Using in camera pureshot also make saving time longer.

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

Explain what u mean on this please?

[@VincentOrtegaJr]

Explain what u mean on this please? Does this have anything to do with shooting video in 360 and grabbing pics from it?
