Insta360 X4 vs X3 vs GoPro!

[@insta360]

Congrats on your new baby! Thanks for the detailed review, glad you love X4 as much as we do! 👏

[@torgrims]

@insta360 Hope you listen to Ben, and makes it easy to switch from front to back camera (and back/front again), in single lense mode! :)

[@pulsarudin20]

I am very satisfied with the insta360 ace pro that I have, but it seems after seeing this video I have to try hard to get this insta360 x4. I really, really want to have one but I have to put my children's needs first. May God provide a way so that I can have it soon.

[@pulsarudin20]

@AllinBetweentheCode Yes, I agree, that's why I gave up my money for my child's needs first. This action cam gave me new enthusiasm in carrying out my hobby of videography

[@77fallencircus]

Got to admit, I have rethought my first Insta360 purchase because of the requests to community members to hide the sponsorship. I am just not sure if I can trust any reviews now.

I landed on your video searching for X4 and I had flashback of my summers in HSV. Thanks for both!

[@ThisIsNotWhatItLooksLik]

I wished for more close up comparisons with x3 to see how much closer you can zoom in. Low light close ups as well. Otherwise well done as usual.

[@przemysawmarciniec5180]

Is there any point in recording 8k vs 4k if you do not have screen that can play the video in 8k?

[@corail53]

The point of going high resolution like that is so you can drop footage on a timeline or output with a lower resolution and retain quality. Most of the broadcast world still works on 1080p believe or not and yet they generally shoot 2-4k and down sample for the output. Also remember that these are also not true 8k and 4k, they are heavily sampled and compressed. If these shot in 4k in the same format as say an arri alexa or red - most peoples computers would sieze up just trying to edit the damned things.

[@ADK_OK]

Thanks for the video, really good to see the comparisons side by side …I have the x3 and toying with the upgrade so this video was super useful 👊

[@The.Cycling.Therapist]

The improved color science is worth the buy by itself. Coming from a GoPro 11 mini. Excited to finally hop over to Insta

[@diversedad7954]

The real question is....which camera did you use to record the first moments with your new baby? lol. Seriously though. I've owned the X3 for several years now and it's an awesome camera I just hate the reframing part of it and thinking about how I'm going to use it. Also, reframed shots aren't the best looking but gets the job done. Trying to decide whether or not I should upgrade to the X4 or just keep my X3 for the little I use it for specific shots.

[@TheAETHER22]

Is it possible to remove the fish lense distortion at the edges for the x4 so it doesnt look like a 360 camera?

[@JoelRendall]

Thanks for starting off with showing the audio test right away. That was what I was looking for, x4 sounds much better than x3

[@AuthenTech]

Glad I could help!

[@johnn1250]

I would like to see how durable those lens guards are? Since people mount them onto motorcycles and cars, i wonder how they would fair falling off a motor vechile and sliding down a road. Will the protectors work or fail against road rash.

[@FireLysm]

What do you think it will come out of this haha if camera dismounts/stick fails you can just pray to ever find the camera. Guards are there for hikers, mountain bikers etc where you might slip or crash and not scratch the camera completely. I had a huge crash on Madeira and I can tell you that old X3 guards handled it very well, I can for sure say, that lens would be gone if no guards were mounted ~ they work pretty damn well!

[@leonfisher]

Great review and great to see you back. (let your viewers choose the name for your baby)

[@mason6662006]

The ring you saw with the X4 lens guard was the lens reflecting off the inside of the guard 👍

[@v1ce21]

Great video. I'm really hesitant in buying the Insta 360 but I am afraid that my PC is a little outdated to edit the 8K footage in Adobe Premiere Pro. What PC minimum requirements do you recommend? Currently I have Intel Core i7 9750H, 16GB RAM and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

[@TFF7245]

It's interesting that you don't have time to color grade, but you do have time to reframe. I have the One RS Twin Addition and the Hero 11. I love 360, but try to use it sparingly because reframing is a pain. The GoPro just has a faster workflow BTW, I took a cruise and spent a few days in the Florida Keys, back in February. The One RS came in clutch. One of my family members had an old GoPro die, so I lent them mine. I used the One RS almost exclusively and it was super nice. I kept whatever mod I wasn't using in my pocket and just changed them out as needed. It was a fun camera to use. I came back loving that camera more than when I left. I hope they do some sort of update that combines the X4 and the Ace Pro. I would pay $800 for that all in one solution

[@NoStarCyclist]

I did start it, i pushed the record button, people are scared! Insta X3, had no idea how to use it - but was fun!

[@Sir-Kay]

And by standard lens and premium lens cover do those come in the package or one would have to purchase them separately?

[@JJiG]

i need info on that scooter you're driving. that thing is cool

[@Dontasticats]

That ring was 100% a reflection off of the lens cover, you were seeing the actual lens being reflected back at itself. That would be more of an issue if you're shooting in an environment with strong light at your back, especially if harsher light made it more obvious

[@biggooseadventures]

4:48 this exact moment the video quality isn’t good very pixelated definitely a marker of a 360 camera, I have an x3 and love it but this is where they fall apart when it comes to image quality. You make awesome videos..

[@luiskantek]

Hi on insta360 when side by side, did you reframed or choosed the single lens mode recording ?

[@willk76]

I'm def watching the X4 for real world user reviews. I have an X2 and a Gopro 11, would like to upgrade the X2 to the X4, but i will have the same concerns with the X4 as I currently do with the X2. Will the mounting screw break off and ruin the camera if I mount it on a dirt bike, is the waterproofing more reliable, how good is the resolution / image quality compared to a gopro in 4k? and what are the timelapse & video modes that it can do? Star trails, night lapse, etc. All things i want to see from users before I jump in. But I'm very very tempted!!!!! (BTW, I still love my X2!)

Ill get that X4 once and for all.

[@whalzv]

Waiting for X5. Where can I buy that 4-camera arm/mount?

[@scstudios8]

The big test really would be the older insta360 one inch 360 mod. The x4 is sort of an in betweener it appears due to the cost bump. I have the bigger one and cant tell if the x4 is worth it or if the bigger one will also become 8k later or if insta has killed the one rs line totally or doesnt want to do a prosumer 8k 360 camera. I assume one rs line is dead, which is good because it sucked at "waterproof". There should be a one inch sensor 360 camera in the world tho, so I really wonder. Seeing this compare would be big.

[@bruceskousen5451]

The one inch 360 isn’t waterproof, so it’s not really a fair comparison. The one inch 360 would be better in low light, but that’s about it.

[@wasil3k]

Does x4 good to record walking and shooting pics with camera in wildlife?

[@GrantSR]

For audio, I'm only ever going to use the cameras microphone just to give me enough audio to be able to sync up the video to the audio that I recorded separately.

[@Netaction]

You don't like to colorgrade but you want to reframe every shot in an app. You disabled horizon level on the Gopro and complain about the stabilization. You reframed the X4 with a fisheye angle and praise the resolution. The fountain is the only comparable shot and you don't mention the bad quality of the X4 that already is in single lens mode. In the sound comparison, you could have added a windshield on the Gopro but not on the X4. While I like the comparison videos, the conclusions are on the level of a paied fanboy.

[@octny]

you're right and you can add the media mod to the hero 12 using both front and back mics with the wind sponge on. or add the max lens mod 2.0 to get wider 4k60 177 degree videos with horizon lock, not just leveling.

[@SpykeHellboy]

also , no battery test ?

[@chrisrioux6436]

Does it still have the issue where if you record continously, it loses a few seconds of footage every half hour (as it saves one clip and starts the next)?

[@beepboopbeepboop190]

Or does it still have the problem where the clips after the first are corrupt and not usable because it didn't save the supporting files it needs? I've given up on my x3 due to that, lost too many one-time vacation videos and their support was useless.

[@bruceskousen5451]

@@beepboopbeepboop190I’ve never experienced this with the x3. Are you talking about video files greater than 30 minutes when it starts recording a second file? I’ve never recorded lengths longer than 15 minutes.

[@beepboopbeepboop190]

@@bruceskousen5451 Yeah, exactly that. When it moves to the second clip it repeatedly resulting in video files that couldn't be used because it didn't have whatever the additional files are that it's supposed to create. The second, etc video can't be panned and instead you get a video that appears to be half front and half back, with a curved line separating them like it's the end of the lens. Their support is horrendous and repeatedly told me it's the card after trying several cards and reproducing it, and all of those cards were brand new when I tried them and worked perfect in my mirrorless with extended videos as well as doing read/write tests on them on my computer. Insta360 will never be a company or product I can rely on as a result. Which is a shame because it's not like there's a ton of options for 360 cameras out there.

[@pajownik]

​@@beepboopbeepboop190 That is a weird issue. I have recorded long videos with my x3 multiple times, and never experienced the issues you described. Are you sure the SD cards you use are rated for high bitrate? I only ever use SanDisk Extreme.
