The New Insta360 X4 Fixes The Biggest Issues With 360 For Bikers

[@insta360]

The feeling is mutual! You can't watch more than a few 360 videos before hitting an epic motorcycle shot and we are LOVING it 🤩 Can't wait to see more amazing X4 POVs from your rides! ⚡

[@PiecesofVinyl]

I wonder how many of those EPIC MOTORCYCLE SHOTS - got a pebble kicked up into the lens and now require a $99 repair - FROM CHINA - with a 8 WEEK turnaround - if - you hear from customer service within 2 weeks of your initial email - which you wont. MAN - SO EPIC!

[@DecadesDiner]

@@PiecesofVinyl Lens guards. Watch the video.

[@mototoki]

The biggest problem for motorcyclists isn’t actually mentioned in this video! Does the X4 pause recording every half an hour for 30 seconds? This happens with the X3 and makes that camera far less powerful for KZbin

[@biglizardmedia]

Can I record while charging though? If I am charging it off my bike?

[@iTzFxvorite]

Is it possible to record my music and my mic during a ride?

[@Seven6fivers]

sooo true I had a GoPro 11 then for the past year I was using x3 and was bummed about scratches on lens and bad quality footage....now x4 has answered all our needs waiting for my x4 it gets delivered tomorrow😄

[@brianmagicman3556]

Apart from the different lens view (normal vs 360) do you find the video quality better on the 360 over the GoPro if you're honest ? If you were to shoot using single lens mode would it look better and sharper than the normal GoPro footage ?

[@jemadv1594]

NO, not possible with 360. We have the X3, GoPro, Action 4, DJI drones. Everything DJI is better@@brianmagicman3556 Everything beyond 3 ft. from 360 lens is terrible. Notice the 360 images all look very bad except close up objects

[@redrockpanda]

Some great updates. Can't wait to see what the X4 allows you to do with your videos moving forward :)

[@CasualRiders]

Damn! I love how you filmed the comparative footage in the same locations! 👏👏 Great job on achieving consistency. I have no idea how you came up with that

[@MotoDash1100]

Niiice, I was watching the Ryan F9 Trans Alp video, and saw this video about the same time Ryan went to his sponsor spot for Insta360. Ngl, you're still my preference for camera stuff about motovlogging. And this kind of in depth and detailed video is why. Good stuff man.

[@MotoDash1100]

5:50 Honestly... that's not even bad. I was expecting to hear 30ish minutes. A 71 minute recording length could be: Riding to and from the destination, and have 11 minutes of wiggle room and/or times to use it as a tripod for a fly-by Or it could be 20min to destination, 20min riding around destination, and 20min ride home. For the first example I'd be assuming you have a Insta360 One/One RS/Ace Pro to record footage while you're at the destination.

[@DingleBerryschnapps]

Don't most people edit their videos together so why would you need it to be 71 minutes straight. Also, most people like this because they don't have to carry another camera.

[@MotoDash1100]

6:01 duuude this thing keeps getting better. If/when you do say a "2k mile review" or whatever, of this camera (if you do), could you please compare battery life real world numbers with the RS and/or Ace Pro?

[@devilmaycry383]

[@dynamotightstar3472]

What’s the record button like? I’ve seen lots of vids and you’re the only one that mentioned how to record with the remote of the hand gestures. I’ve got the one x2 and find it hard to press the record button when I’m off-road. The x4 looks really poorly placed. I use a dango Mount and it doesn’t look like I’d be able to access the button on the bottom left.

[@jalhusky]

Why isn’t anyone addressing the big question? Does it overheat? I hate sponsored reviews man

[@ChaosCauses]

Didn't have a single issue with that. But 90% of my shots were riding which would obviously help with cooling.

[@ed0xff]

[@babyandromeda8762]

Would this be nice for gym videos?

[@space6307]

Nice. New stuff that I cannot afford. Thanks for the review CC!

[@octny]

that's nice having increased the resolution to 8k but only to max 30fps, which is not so good for moving video. I would much rather prefer 60fps. That's why i use a GoPro at 4k60fps or 5.3k60fps so I don't need to crop anything. Just point it in the right direction. Anyway I would much rather prefer a 180 degree 3D 5k camera to the 2D 360 camera. All the footage is much better in 3D VR. 2D is only good for mobile phones, not for 3D VR.

[@DavidMunoz-bp3vm]

I guess I should've googled when the X4 was coming out, I just bought the X3 just little over a month ago.

[@cloudpandarism2627]

build in GPS would be tue best solution since all those GPS external devices suck! i got the gps remote. and i also have the newest apple watch. none of them work reliable. sometimes i get ready to fly and the bloody remote doesnt connect to the camera. standing there with all gear on and cant fly

[@JoseDilucchio]

Wonder if mounting horizontally on the helmet will be better? Don't have one yet

[@mavicprah8063]

So do you recommend for motorbike better 5.7K 60FPS instead of 8K 30FPS? Thanks, nice video :)

[@Windsurfingaddict]

I have owned the X2, the X3 with the much improved screen, and now the X4, there is definitely an improvement with the X4 when watching back the footage from reframed 8k over the reframed 5.7k of the X3. I’m not sponsored in any way and bought all cameras with my own money, There is no better camera for windsurfing videos as as tried most of them. Yes you have to be very careful with the lens and I have a metal cage on it and electrical tape my battery doors and use a safety leash just in case. Yes there are some negatives with this camera but the pros out ways what you simply can not get without 360 recording 🥳🥳

[@PLACESNONDESCRIPT]

How about lense fogging after long use ?koz x3 had that issue

[@juretarman]

Hi, how is the motorbike sound on this? I usually had separate mic under seat to capture exhaust sound and eliminate wind noise.

[@rcinematic]

Didn’t know the lens guards aren’t waterproof, thanks

[@MotoMotoBrain]

Ah poop, bought a x3(with your link 😊) two months ago and then this was announced. Contacted support about getting an exchange. Fingers crossed!

[@55SabreDog]

Same here…

[@clkb8moto]

I still don't care about 60fps. 30fps is a look I like more. And if the speed of motion (off-bike) is slower then 24fps even works. But cropped (from a sphere) 5.7k doesn't even look as good as 1080p. That's been my issue with the "consumer-level" 360 cameras until now. The previous pro 8k 360 cameras were way too bulky and expensive to use as action cams.

[@Jason-Richards]

Are you using the Insta360 selfie stick or something more rugged for mounting on your GS?

[@dalety2328]

I'm looking for a motorcycle helmet mount for the X4 Chin mount, and/or side mount. Any suggestions?

[@ralphphua5537]

Anybody notice the glaring reflection in the x4 shot at 4:14 ? It also seems x4 is more susceptable to lens flare...

[@deejaywolf]

I saw the same glaring in another review. I guess it is lens guard problem.

[@brianmagicman3556]

Good shout and also if you watch it again and pause the video at 4.16, the buildings in the background look clearer/more detailed on the x3 and also the body of the bike and the side mirror also looks clearer on the x3 and if you look at him in both shots, he looks more blurry on the x4, and that's WITH the lens guards on The question is, are those lens guards in that particular shot the plastic ones that come with the x4 or the premium ones made of glass? If it's the latter, that's very bad quality bit I can't say because I don't. Know which ones were used Overall the x4 quality beats the x3 regardless so any improvement is better than no improvement at all

[@robertboyer2954]

Great Video. Thank you. Do you film your motocross in 360? If so, what mount/mounts do you use? This is what I plan on using it for the most. Worried about how stable mounts are on very rough rocky roads. Thank you very much sir.

[@Crab.Ragoon]

Is the motorcycle bundle worth it? Or is it better to buy the camera and a mount separately?

[@lacrossev]

All of these issues that were improved for the X4 is getting my wallet finger itching to upgrade. It was extremely annoying on the X3 going between being on my bike and maybe a weekend trip walking around where I didn't need the covers and wanted to have zero glare. Trying to edit footage to mesh between 4k/60 pov shots to the 1080/30 was always a challenge, so the bump for 5.7k to 60 and availability of 8k/30 makes it easier to be consistent between two cameras.

What is the difference in stitch line specially when using a lens protection.

All of the earlier insta360s have a 10 second gap in the footage every 30 minutes, making them useless if you want continuous footage like bike rides or concerts. Have they fixed this problem?

[@mototoki]

I’d love to know the answer to this too! Given the title I would have expected this to be the first issue for considering

[@2222...]

Great work! Definitely considering one as a dashcam plugin for Euro tours etc...coming from NextBase/INNOVV but unsure whether the weather might cause issues making it snowflake in a storm?

[@brucejohnson2218]

The biggest issue is that you still can't use the stabilization without horizon lock. Motorcycle videos would be more dynamic with leaning, but everything is locked like in a video game.

[@JarradShaw]

Question: For you need the GPS “watch” to then connect to Garmin or Apple Watch to then be able to overlay those amazing real time graphics and stats??

[@theestate12]

Get Telemetry Overlay. It works with everything that records GPS including Insta360, GoPro, DJI. Since Garmin dropped Virb and GoPro discontinued including the GPS chip after Hero 11, we need to get the branded remotes with GPS. (In some cases I use telemetry (gpx file) from my Garmin Montana. The software allows muliple telemetry sources and syncs to video.) However, DJI Mavic series still includes GPS data in the SRT file. Price is $150 . A bargin for what the software can do. Constant upgrades. Juan responds quickly to even silly questions. Ride on.

[@TriAngles3D]

No idea why people are not talking about how silly this cameras controls are. Insta 360 is a great camera in many ways. But its interface design has been a big problem when used as an action camera. I have missed some great shots this passed year with this camera. In particular when starting/stopping recording it displays confusing alerts. This can be extremely annoying. The button has a flush design that is not easy to feel. When pushed the tactile response is limited. And, when it is pushed you have to wait to see if it actually was pushed. When you push the record button you would expect the led to turn red. It does not. It takes a moment. When you stop recording you would expect it to turn blue or otherwise not red. It does not. It takes a moment. That moment is too long in an action situation.

[@joek81981]

This happens with guitar pedals too. I expect an embargo has expired. Are the lenses ambidextrous - front to back wise? The sticky kind weren't and if you ratf*cked one of them, you had to buy both. Snap on lenses make much more sense. I have the x3 and I just make videos for myself, no one views them. I just received the flexible mount from Chin Mounts, against many people's advice. We'll see if that falls off and ruins the camera then I have a reason get the new one.
