X4 Motorcycle Bundle - 8K Waterproof 360 Action Camera, 4K Wide-Angle Video, Invisible Selfie Stick, Removable Lens Guards, 135 Min Battery Life, AI Editing, Stabilization, for Sports, Travel

I'll admit, I am a big fan of this company and have been using their cameras since 2017 (although I do have a lot of cameras from other manufacturers too!). If I have the funds available (I skipped the X2) I will always invest in their new release as they are continually raising their game with every product launch and the X4 is no exception. I don't publish a lot of my stuff as I film for personal reasons and memories but I have attached an animated photo that took of a dimly lit interior of a historic Scottish church. Lots of cameras would have struggled in these conditions but the X4 excelled! The animation was also extremely easy to do in the Insta360 Studio software which is provided free. I have mine paired with the Insta360 GPS preview remote so that if I have it mounted on a 3m pole I can easily see what is going on and start/stop recording a lot easier than having to hold a phone and do it (the remote can be wristmounted or attached to the pole). Used on its own, the camera is extremely easy to use. All of the automatic settings will give amazing results but if you want to dabble with the manual settings then you can get exceptional results. I have been involved in photography/videography for many years and would give you these tips: 1. Get to know your camera... make mistakes and learn from them. If you have an important occasion coming up that you want to record, then practise, practise, practise beforehand and double, if not triple check your settings before hitting record. 2. Think about your mounts if used on a vehicle. You will see a lot of people complaining about breaking their selfie-sticks - almost every time it will be because of bad practice and lack of understanding of physics. Think about leverage, vibration and if in doubt, tether! 3. Protect your glass. The X4 has removable lens protectors which should be used in an action environment. I have had eight 360 cameras over the years and have NEVER damaged a lens , even in action environments. From a photography background I have been brought up respecting my glass. I always shoot with a naked lens if I can as this gives best results but there are plenty of accessories available to help you if you are shhoting in a harsh environment. 4. Respect your camera - although advertised as an action camera, you should still respect it as a piece of photographic equipment and show it some care and respect. The number of posts I have seen about lenses being cracked/cameras being broken as the tripod they mounted on fell over is amazing. If you are looking at buying this as a first 360 camera then I absolutely recommend it. Easy to use and amazing, easily obtainable results. If you are looking to upgrade from an X3 then I would say yes too (I did!) The X3 is awesome but the X4 is awesomerer!

Best accessory I’ve ever purchased for my bike brilliant footage and easy to use

I had been eyeing up the X4 for quite some time; eventually I caved in and I'm so glad I finally have one now. It's a relatively small camera so it's not a hassle to carry around by hand it in a bag, then when you want to take a video/photo it takes only a couple of seconds for the gadgets to power up. The greatest thing about having a 360° camera is it's extremely hard to miss a shot as it covers almost every angle; this means I can just press record and worry about how it looks later. The only thing you need to be aware of are the blind spots, so I'd recommend pointing either lens directly towards your subject. I mainly edit my footage though the App rather than the desktop version as it's easier to use and has more customisability when it comes to edits. It might take several attempts but once you're used to the app, it becomes increasingly easy. As for picture quality, I think it looks great!

I upgraded from the Insta 360 One X2 to the Insta 360 X4. There is a vast improvement with the X4. The image quality is much better, the front screen is far easier to use and the battery life is better. Also the free editing app is superb and very easy to use. I would highly recommend this camera if you want to do 360 videos.

Likes: Really good quality camera that is relatively easy to use. The iPhone app works well for editing. A 512gb micro sd gives me 4 hours 30 mins of 8k 30 frames 360 video. The microphone quality is good. You don’t have to worry about missing anything as the 2 lenses capture everything. Dislikes: the Mac/Win studio software has very few features for editing. The camera gets SO hot when recording in max resolution especially in warmer weather. In my case it only once stopped recording at 34c heat in direct sunlight after 30 minutes. This also reduces the battery life. A second battery is recommended as I was getting just over an hour of recording. Editing footage on my iPhone causes it to overheat especially when editing larger files (IPhone 15 pro max). The files after editing are massive (3 minute edited video was 550 mb). Verdict: Price wise it is expensive and you will find yourself buying extra accessories for it. But overall I would recommend this camera.

Takes a bit of getting used to but after watching many utube videos it's an excellent bit of kit and will be perfect for my travels.

I have had numerous 360 cameras but the X4 now replaces the X3 with an. Improved processor that allows the two 4k sensors to work at an improved rate enhancing the quality of the images and video, frame rate improvement, in camera merging of the two halves data too. Overall improvements that offer a better experience. The X3 is still a well proven camera and this new X4 builds on that. The initial connection problem I had was due to the playstore update on the app which was rectified by installing the app from Insta instead. The other issue I had was with operating the capture button as it appeared to be working intermittently, however I found this was due to Bluetooth interference from the S22 and headset. Once I turned that off the X4 operated as expected. Very happy with the improvements.

Best 360 cam on the market and i don't need the 8k x5 it simply isn't any better for car shots
