I instantly got 10 notifications about this 😂
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! ⚡
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!
@@PiecesofVinyl Lens guards. Watch the video.
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 KZhead
Can I record while charging though? If I am charging it off my bike?
Some great updates. Can't wait to see what the X4 allows you to do with your videos moving forward :)
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
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.
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.
Great review.
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.
Really wishes you posted more as I like you as a creator and really like your content
Great Vid! I do have a question. When filming in the 30Sec pre recording mode, when starting to film and stopping does it stay in de 30sec modus or do you need to set it up again? This is for me the deal breaker to get one
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😄
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 ?
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
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?
Nice. New stuff that I cannot afford. Thanks for the review CC!
one of most honest vedio
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?
So do you recommend for motorbike better 5.7K 60FPS instead of 8K 30FPS? Thanks, nice video :)
It's funny how you dropped a video at exactly the same time as fortnine with the same insta 360 x4 sponsorship. Something's happening here, haha
Yea, it’s called an NDA. They have a specific time frame on when they can publish anything about the camera.
Embargo... Not NDA
@@gsrox2007 An embargo is an NDA with an expiration date
@@gsrox2007 it's still an NDA, just technically called a video feature embargo.
It’s a paid promo
How about lense fogging after long use ?koz x3 had that issue
Good to mention that the app features are supported for earlier models, i used the ND filter on my X2 just yesterday
Would this be nice for gym videos?
hi! how do you make those indicators visible on the video? 5:12 , 8:30 is it possible on the X3?
I just ordered one through your affiliate link. I'm really excited to make some content with this thing. Nice video
Thanks man!
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??
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.
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
Is the motorcycle bundle worth it? Or is it better to buy the camera and a mount separately?
Can I connect my cardo packtalk with x4 and get audio input? If yes can you please make a short video . Much appreciated . Tia
You can
why do you say the Ace Pro is better for 4k 60 than the X4? Can you explain?
Can you see the scratched lens in the video or is it too close that the sensor can't pick it up?
Does it produce more shaky footage ? because of increased weight ?
Good ad video btw
Schaaf still makes good old plain POVs;)
What is the difference in stitch line specially when using a lens protection.
Insta 360 X4 or Ace Pro please tell?
I love all the new features, however the new lens protector seams to get some unwanted glare 4:13 hopefully they find a better material
...but do they make a cable to allow "charge while recording"
Does it work with my Sena ?
Does it have the AI chip like the INSTA360 ACE PRO?
How's the night shooting capability compared to the Ace Pro ? Also, no mention of file sizes...
Not as good as Ace Pro in low light but greatly improved from X3. 8K is about 1.5GB per minute
@@ChaosCauses Thanks for the info, and OUCH, that's huge. #ThatsWhat_SHE_Said
great for daylight video but sucks for night time videos. Oh well.
Have you made a video on the jnsta360 action cam? Not the one rs?
Yes, I have a playlist on my channel for all my Insta360 videos
@@ChaosCauses yeah... next time ill first check, than ill comment xD
Finally seeing a great competitor to go pro is really nice. Insta360 is innovating a lot and now go pro has to catch up and stop price gouging
I have a doubt. The gps overlay only works if you have a garmin or a apple watch? If i got a galaxy samsung watch i cant use the overlay? The camera by itself dont have this feature?
I would like to film karting with speed overlay
I guess I should've googled when the X4 was coming out, I just bought the X3 just little over a month ago.
5:00 jokes aside, that is an INSANE POV... I really wish insta made an affordable version of these cameras like how go pro makes their silver and white editions but with all the new features.
I wish they would make cameras that can be used to continually record, in case you get into an accident
@@nerychristian they have a loop recording feature to record like dashcams
@@preshmuhu3664 Hopefully with A.I. technology, they can create a camera that only records when it detects a possible collision is imminent
@nerychristian they exist, they are called dash cams 🤣
Maybe you get some luck in the used market from people that have a working X3 but want to upgrade to the X4
Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s not really about the 8k to 5.2k more about the sensor.
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?
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
At 4:53 what city is this exactly?
but it also means that the same sied 1/2" sensor is dealing with those extra pixels
I have preferred a 1 inch sensor. That’s why when I purchased the X3, I quickly returned it and went with a RS 1 inch.
Like it kwaai
Is X4 or ace pro still having a file length limitation of 30min?
on I don't think they have any file length limitation, not on my Ace Pro at least
Didn’t know the lens guards aren’t waterproof, thanks
Why not using it at night?
Can you record longer than 30 min without gaps?
Why ?
@@JinSakai_Kuroudo because.
I can’t find out either
@@mototoki it can. I bought it and can confirm.
@@michaelvarney. thanks buddy 👍
did the X3 actually go down in price, or is the X4 just $100 more expensive?
Isnt... 1080p... full hd? XD sorry for being that guy, still a bit grumpy about the sold fs450 😢
Anybody notice the glaring reflection in the x4 shot at 4:14 ? It also seems x4 is more susceptable to lens flare...
I saw the same glaring in another review. I guess it is lens guard problem.
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
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.
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 🥳🥳
this is my complain with 360 camera everything looks distorted this Megaview feature is my dream scenario and of course the romovable lens cover
does it use the same battery as x3?
No, it needed to be bigger for 8K power draw
My understanding is that it DOES NOT.
4:12 I don't see a difference in detail on a 4k monitor
Los Angeles is a beautiful city
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.
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.
Why isn’t anyone addressing the big question? Does it overheat? I hate sponsored reviews man
Didn't have a single issue with that. But 90% of my shots were riding which would obviously help with cooling.
Me getting the X3 a couple of months ago for nearly full price 🤦♂
Contact lenses for your Insta 😊
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.
Ah poop, bought a x3(with your link 😊) two months ago and then this was announced. Contacted support about getting an exchange. Fingers crossed!
Same here…
You forgot to talk about the cardo compatibility ..
X3 has 3.5 k at 60 fps on single lens mode. Fine with me
Still no replaceable lens? I'll keep my x3 until they change that.
Replaceable lens covers though. So.. eh.
@MotoDash1100 no way!? let me just throw my x3 out just because they made a glass protector... look how awful that thing looks with it on. 😄
Nice to have sponsors mate, but back in the real world, not everyone has 10 grand plus for a cam. Also difficult and very expensive to get for us poor South Africans. Going to have to stick to my trusty Hero 3 with it's dodgy battery... 😂😂😂😂
nice. i wasted so much money last year on x3
You know it’s highly sponsored when there’s no mention of the bad stitching effect. They need to fix it and all these KZheadrs are purposely avoiding it.
should i buy x3 then way cheaper ?
@@1DN5UP I got the x4 and if you don’t need 8k id get the x3 any day. They may fix the stitching on the x4? But if media not talking about it probably not.
. . . . . A just bought the insta360 x3 😢
The issue was they would overheat all the time
Never had that happen once in 4 years on any of their cameras.
@@ChaosCauses in 1080 P you’re fine but shooting and 360 all the time it started overheating I don’t know maybe there was an issue with mine. I have the original one that had 360 mode
So i guess the ace pro is irrelevant now and this is the one to get?
Completely different cameras for different purposes
1080p is FULLHD 720p is HD
What about the biggest problem with INSTA360 cameras-AUDIO?
Am I the only one that doesn’t see a difference outside of the brightness?
$100 less for the X3 could mean $100 more than the X3 so same price since that’s how Insta discounts their sales.
4:20 no point shooting 60 FPS if you're uploading in 30.
It's probably more about what you didn't say, rather than what you did say 🤔
The grainy and muddy image quality is really horrible compared to DJI Action 4 and pocket 3....
ne minute recording over 1GB after edit it 100MB you cant let in your computer UN edit it there you need huge har disc your computer never gonna edit quick with insta360 software because cant use all your prosesor capacite 30 minutes 8K recording shuting down because of heating so not use summer... one lens schrach camera is useless unless you send them insta360 to hongkong x4 220 dollars x3 120 dollar cost a repair your garantie is useless for this you know why they send them with lensguard because you need it
Stop signs do not apply to you? lol
00:54 - thanks for being honest! These are NOT action cameras - you WILL scratch the lens. The lens guards suck - the only way to use these cameras is to start a channel and get one sent for free. I dont know of ANY person who is spending $500 on this and then strapping it to a bike and not getting a scratched Lens - if you wanna piss away money good for you! I collect vinyl so I know how it is.
Hopefully Insta360 upgraded their customer support too 🤣 Worst in the business sadly.
I really like this Channel - but this is just a 10min Ad =(
All x4 videos are ads. I am just searching night footage and non of you tubers are showing 😂😂
However…
5,7K / 4 = 1,425 K 8K /4 = 2K Where is 4K? this is not true. :(
That's not how this works, not with cameras or with tvs/monitors. For instance, take 4 30" 4k tvs and mount them in a 2x2 grid and you would have a 60" 8k tv. Does that make more seems to you now? 8k isn't twice the resolution of 4k, it's actually twice both in height and width.
well.. 2 years of waiting for this crap? why don't put a 1 inch sensor..
still sucks at low light
Be smart about these paid promotions about x4..they r everywhere..u dont need it, if u do,go buy an x3 for cheaper..that will do 90% of what this does.. dont fall for these paid promotions and impulse buying. That way, we have to buy every new product on internet.
the X4 is still a superior product in terms of resolution thou compared to the X3.
@Gixxer360 tbh i didn't see a difference When watching the side by side. I did watch it on my samsung tab s7 plus which doesn't display 4k so maybe that's it but I didn't see a difference
Of course, it's better, but how much better is it for everyday use? No one needs more than 4k. It takes up too much space, and honestly, despite all the hype online, 2k is enough. Even 1080p is enough for most people. Where are you going to store all those 4k, 5k, 8k videos?
@@naemanmalik6107 the 8k resolution is for the full 360 view, when you reframe it will be 2.7k, on x3 the 5.7k 360 view will be 1080p after reframing
4K 8k no ones watching these footage on a big screen. 1080 is all you need. Just more gimmicks to buy the next thing every year. X5 X6 GP12 GP13 stick to what works for you and only buy when it’s an actual feature that’s useful. Example, when the DJI Pocket 3 comes out with a replaceable battery.
You missed one important feature , SOUND. Connecting the camera to bluetooth. Bad experience with this and X3, sounds crap with DJI Mic 2.
Insta 360 Should have put the 1 inch sensor and Pure Shot low light mode... X3 is all I need until X4 goes on Sale .....
