The X4 definitely looks better than the x3 in your video. Looks like a camera to have.
Yeah it definitely is the better camera but there was a smudge on the X3 that we didn't notice in the Golf video!
Interesting video but I have a few niggles. The golf comparison shot with the X3 was a bit unfair. The X3 obviously has a dirty or damaged lens or protector. Time split between clips - others have said there is no gap at all with the X4. Lens protectors - check the instructions, you showed them being mounted incorrectly. But does that actually make a difference? In one careful test it was shown that the Premium covers are more prone to flares and attract dust more than the standard ones. Well, you can only go by your own experience. But what does make a huge difference to the picture quality is the sharpness setting. On low, the 8k capture is completely wasted. Keep it on the default medium setting imho. The sensor - it doesn't have one. It has two, 4k each, totalling 8k but for the whole 360 degrees. When you reframe it you get around 2.7k. Yes, the size of the sensors is not ideal for low light but the fact that there are two of them does change the maths a bit. For low light, shoot in 5.7k is the recommendation. Cheers!
Fantastic comment dude! I Appreciate you! I’m glad the scratch on the lens gets attention- because in all honesty, ive been traveling with my x4 during this last week and the lenses are super scratched already- super frustrating!
@@WeDoTech you have to treat them like glass. Well, they are! 😁,
Watching these 360 cameras placed directly on the table made me cringe. You validated my fears. 😂
I randomly came accross your review while trying to decide if I must get a X4 for myself. Ive been doing a lot of research and your review made me decide to get one. Thankfully the price isnt over the top in South Africa like I expected. I ve subscribed as I like your presentation method and huge amount of info given. Hopefully I get in on the list to win the X4. Greetings from Pretoria.
EEYYYyooo!!! Thanks for the subscribing and leaving a awesome comment!! Yeah the X4 is really worth it in SA! Good luck!👌😎
Great stuff, the work flow & creative possibilities of 360 footage is what i enjoy most. Stepping aside from the controversies, it's a tool with certain use case scenario's not a be and end all. The average consumer is more informed these days so shouldn't be an issue on what to expect if considering a purchase. 👍🏻
Does it over heat when we shoot for longer period of time @ 5.7K? I'm using one X and planning an upgrade.
Had no troubles with overheating. I went to Europe earlier this month when temps hit 40 Celsius..performed beautifully!👍
I didn’t understand what you said about the lens caps… was it just me.. but what is your recommendation? Buy the premium lens? Or don’t use any lens?
@@MrHombre definitely get lense protectors, you get free ones in the box but the premium ones will be worth it, even if you just have an extra pair💪🏼
@@WeDoTech thanks man! I will definitely check them out
Yeah, there is clearly a smudge or dirt on the X3 golf footage.
Yeah, I noticed that!🧐
Can’t wait to have my hands on the X4, footage looks good. I scratched my X3 a while ago, and creating content has been a drag since then, because that scratch is not easy to hide. Anyway, loved the review.
AAAHh man, sorry about that scratch! Yeah the footage is sooo much better!!👌
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, good luck with creating that content!
I’m a new subscriber due to your succinct clips with “on point” facts Vs fiction. You have convinced me that it’s worth getting the Insta360 X4 with the premium lens cover. I live in Aust and am heading out to cross the Simpson desert in Jul24. Hopefully I win the free camera before I leave. If not, I will be purchasing anyway 🤓.
Awesome man, welcome to the WeDoTech family! Yeah man, can't go wrong with the X4. I wish you all the best in with your desert trip and good luck with the competition!!😎🎉
I have the X4 and love it.... super fun camera to use. I'm currently using with not lens guards, but considering the premium ones... not sure.
Brave human 😯using it without the lens guards! The Lens covers are non-negotiable for me, just check that you have the right settings!😅
Superb review! Awesome job you've done. Cheers!
Cheers Mark, thanks for the comment!
Great video. Would have liked more coverage of the menus/interface.
Noted! Thanks for leaving a comment and watching!😎
Thank you for going into detail with all differences between x3 and x4. Great vid!
My pleasure, human from the internet! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!🎉😎
Is there a way to lower sharpness? It looks super over sharpened
Not really, thats kinda how the sensor records
Yes it has 4 sharpness settings.
I upgraded to the x4 from my x3 and overall I'm happy with it. For my great quality video I still use my Pocket 3 though....I don't know if I can be happy with just the x4 though I'm considering it.
I think the x4 isnt a “all in one” camera- it serves a specific purpose in my kit. Definitely still need a main A cam
@@WeDoTech I’m very impressed with the Pocket 3 but question how much use I’ll get when my iPhone 15pro can shoot straight video almost as well
The golf footage in the beginning is absolutly trash. i dont know what happend to your x3 or you used trash lensguards but its normaly not looking that bad. All lens guards a making the footage worse. also the premium lens guards. Sadly nearlyevery TH-camr is talking that bad about the X3. I mean the X3 is actually a pretty good 360 camera. There is no overheating and very reliable. In perspective the pricing is much better. So for budget user its more afordable. If you already have the X3 you need a lot of new acessories for the X4. The sensor on X3 and X4 the same sensor. But because of the better processing there is an 8k upscaling during recording.
Yeah you are totally right- the lense git scratched on the x3 thats why i loge the screw on lenses of the x4. The x3 is really good but when you compare it to the x4 they are worlds apart
I thought maybe a bit overly exaggerated on a few points to sell especially on the night footage almost identical when compared to the X3 (IMO).. Good review for the X4 tho...
Can you test it with street view? I heard that it compresses it bad
I think a lot of people don't use the Insta360 app to export their video, and that hurts the quality of the video.
First time watching your content and I have to say you are pretty pretty good. I like your style and your humour so well done.
💪🏼thanks! Appreciatie the kind words!
@@WeDoTech All good I have watched a lot of different content trust me and it is refreshing to watch you do your thing. By the way I just bought the 360x4 and testing it tomorrow but compared to Gopro and even DJI this is on a different level. Stay safe and cant wait to see more of your content.
To many paid reviews I had it for 24hrs and took it back! The battery life and over heating issue is prominent! This camera is meant for you to shoot “CLIPS” and “STORIES” with. I didn’t like it at all! The 8k is exported to below 4k and it’s tedious to have to even go in the app to recenter things when a regular action cam let’s you shoot it and post it. I went and got my action 4 back immediately! 😂 and the camera quality on the action is better and way more cinematic.
Yeah I don't know if you know this but the X4 is meant for 360 degree files that you can reframe any way you want! Naturally a pov cam is going to look better like the action 4, because it's a totally different camera.
@@WeDoTech I completely understand BUT SEEING THAT PEOPLE ARE ADVERTISING THIS AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A ACTION CAM ON MOTOVLOG CHANNELS I SAID IN THAT ASPECT IT IS NOT A CONTENDER
Can I buy your used X3? I simply can not afford a new one. Please let me know. Thank you.
There is a long list of people asking the same thing but I still use it for a lot off shoots, but there is a chance to win the X4, go and leave a comment on my Instagram post and who knows, maybe you'll find yourself using an X4!😯
Just ordered this off Apple Store. The bundle looked solid! I have not seen anything else like that bundle. Plus with 10% off for military. Done deal! 💪🏼
Easy game!😅👌The bundle is really good!
The real scam is the 8K resolution claim! 8K is the equirectangular and not the final reframed video ! people think instead is like a 16:9 video or monitor resolution, but is absolutely not. I wrote an article in the faq section on my company website
Ok so I don't completely understand where your coming from with the Equirectangular, thing, but if my google search is anything to go by, your referring to the full 8k footage only being available in 360 degree footage, when you cut it to 16:9 it drops the resolution, which I find logical and I don't think they ever promoted 16:9 footage as being in 8k...it also has the same sensor as the X3, it's the processor that has been upgraded in the X4 to bring the 360 degree footage to 8k...
I need this camera. Thank you for the valuable review. A must watch for anyone who wants to buy.
I love my x4! Sure you will too!
Thanks for the excellent video. Well done. The X4 looks great.
Thanks for dropping a comment, I really appreciate it! The X4 really is super cool!
No mention of how glitchy the X4 is? I've owned it since it came out and it's incredibly glitchy. It sometimes connects, sometimes doesn't. Sometimes exports files to your phone and other times it gives you an error. The quality is much better but this is like using the X1 when it first came out, barely works!
Damn man, that sucks...I've not experienced glitches like that! Hopefully the next update fixes those connection problems for you, what device are you trying to connect to??🧐
Best honest review so far, thank you sir!
Thats what i’m here for💪🏼it’s my pleasure! The x4 i great! Don’t let other youtubers confuse you with their biast towards the company opinions
great video, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the compliments and leaving that like, I really appreciate it!🎉😎
Are you going to be at Computex?
🔥yes! Just arrived in Taiwan
your great review has made my mind up
Really glad I could help and thanks so much for watching!!😎🎉
The upgrade from the x3 to the x4 is insane.
It really is!
X4 does not livestream. I bought it thinking it did. I was quite dissppointed about that.
Hopefully, I found an answer for you... www.insta360.com/support/supportcourse?post_id=4130
@@WeDoTech thanks but I would not buy another camera at this point
It could do 8k 120 fps and never overheat. Not saying it’s not nice now, just answering your question.
Mine did...!?🤷♂️
Great to get an unbiased review
It’s my pleasure!💪🏼
My ultimate combo would be X4 with my Osmo pocket 3. I'd love to win. Thank you. X4 (B-CAM to show third person view ) n Osmo pocket 3.
Great combo!
@@WeDoTech I'd like to win the x4.
09:50 Not a protector, it's a thermo grip to distrubute heat for longer run times in 8k etc.
Yeaahh that's true, Thanks for the comment...well I guess a secondary function would be that it protects it from very specific falls😅
jelly you got one sent
Yeahhh...got lucky with that one...but you know what they say, the harder you work, the Luckier you get!🎉👀
Nice review
Thanks for watching...😎
It looks very nice actually. Way better than the X3.
Yeah it's a proper upgrade from the X3, even just functionality is better, not so laggy!👌😁
@@WeDoTech I Will get one my self 🥳 thanks for the review friend 👍
I love a new camera, after the GoPro Black 3+ this is insane, I don't really care
Yeah new stuff always stays cool!😅 Don't forget about the giveaway!
Done 😅
