I just discovered this channel. It's so refreshing... Great quality, good narrative, good editing and very good information. Excellent!!! Definitely a sub!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback about my video. And thanks for subscribing as well!!
Hey Otto. Long time no see. Just came in to say hello. Nice to see your channel is growing. You really deserve it. Keep your sprit up and make great contents, as usual.
Hello!!! Thank you so much!!
This is such a clear video about the technical specifications!! 8k reality!! Thanks :)
you are welcome!
Excellent comparison, both in terms of your narration and the great footage. To see those sunny scenes made me feel quite a bit better (currently enduring my first bout of COVID, so can't shoot video and not up for buying cameras!). My chief reaction is that the X4 clips did not look bad when casually viewing on 4k tv - they were not humbled by the adjacent P3 clips. As you said, carrying the two cameras in a small bag when out and about covers a good range of situations. Like a tradesman who just takes with him one good hammer and one good screwdriver!
Peteeeer! Hope you feel better soon! Agreed, when I was editing the video the difference having them side by side is less impactful and I felt like doing an "post-edit" insert. The X4 does a good job in daylight, but when I zoom in on different videos taken at the same time, the difference can be seen. The X4 videos fall apart quickly, specially as soon as there isn't enough light. Thank you for your feedback, always appreciated! Take care
OP3 is a winner for me, especially in night shooting and stabilization. But of course, everyone's style can lead to different choices.
Yeah that’s right!!
top video, thanks
*Creative shot and movement X4 hands down. Quality head shot and low light P3. Still leaning for X4 specially on vacation the movement and the different angle you get out of it is just simply amazing!*
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as I always say, it depends on everyone's needs (having both would be ideal)
Ultimate combo is X4 n Osmo pocket 3. I use both. x4 for a wider n better 3d person view when walking n the op3 for talking head and estabilin shots.
Totally agree, it's a great combo!
@@OttoJulian_ I use both withe DJI mic 2. I also use Facebook Meta for POV. Insert as Picture in picture
Thank you
Hey Kevin thank you so much!!
Can X4 be bind with gimbal Hohem iSteady Pro 4? if not, which action cam compatible with X4? Thanks Otto. Great another video!
Hi. Thanks you! No the X4 doesn’t fit on the iSteady Pro 4
@@OttoJulian_ But is there no action cam gimbal that suits with X4? the geometry is not rectangular and gimbal companies didnt find attractive I guess for x3x4.
@BurOnOz sorry. Forgot to answer that question. Indeed the shape is not the standard and the height might make it harder to balance. No gimbal that will work for these cameras that I know of 😞
Good review
thank you!
Great video Otto! I've got the X4 and I wish to get the pocket 3, but I'm a little reluctant because i'm no youtuber, just a regular guy that wants to share vacation Reels on Instagram and save the good memories...
Thank you! I see your point. I mostly use the P3 for my personal videos when I don’t use my bigger setup
san diego harbor...nice. my hometown :)
San Diego is great!
Planning to visit San Diego with my big family😂 this August, will stop by Vegas first then drive to SD, bringing my P3/X4 and waiting for my pre-order Z6iii ..👍
Thank you for the amazing comparison. I'm torn between the image quality of the Dji and the flexibility of the X4. Obviously you can put an X4 at the end of a selfie stick and get drone like shot. Can you do the same with the DJI?
If you wanted to start on an establishing shot of a landscape to then move back and reveal a person standing on the edge of the mountain, that would obviously be a one take wonder on the X4, but could it be done easily enough on the DJI?
How far does the tracking work? I had the idea to do a drone type shot coming down to a person, so the tracking would need to work from the end of a 3m pole...Again, one take on the X4, but with less image quality...
Hope you can help
Thanks
most of the things you mentioned can be done with the P3, but as you said, it might take a few shots to get the right framing/composition. With the X4 it should be easier to reframe. Tracking has quite some range if there are no obstacles, but other factors like the amount of light, clothes that the subject is wearing, etc can make it easier or more difficult to track. If you are looking into more creativity I think the X4 should be the way to go. The P3 is more for higher video quality and low light shots and low light stabilization
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks for the quick answer. I actually have a Gopro, so I'm pretty familiar with what I can get out of it, but the image quality always disgusts me... If I can put the P3 on the end of a 3m pole and still track with it, I wonder if that's the decision maker... Also, how good is the stabilisation if walking on nasty terrain by someone who can't ninja walk?
Thanks again
@@adsertheblade how nasty is it?! you will see some bumps here and there, specially on the z-axis
@OttoJulian_ I guess a beach is one example, where the feet do their own thing due to the sand, and more offroad craggy hills with no paths. Those would be the main nasty terrain I'm looking at. The app has piqued my attention, too... you seem to be able to do everything, like choose tracking subject and move the camera around from there. This thing is quite amazing.
@adsertheblade I think you should be fine, just don’t expect it to behave like a drone. I like using this camera for my personal videos and I haven’t been disappointed.
The problem with P3 is it is quite hard to control it skillfully. If you ride a motorbike and want to record the scene on the side, using a P3 would be bad because your partner has no knowledge using that and the footage is completely ruined. But with x4, they can just shoot, I can reframe it later. So for me, x4 is better.
Takes some practice but good point about someone else not knowing how to use it on a situation like that
If you use the X4 with a single lens, will the resolution by similar to the pocket 3 at 4K?
It seems like that comparison will be interesting
No because the 4k resolution is for the entire 180 half sphere. It’s still very good, especially in good light.
Resolution can be the same but that doesn't mean that you will get the same video quality. Although there is no reframing using single lens, there will be some cropping as I explained to get the desired frame that you want.
Something people need to know and it almost resulted in me sending the x4 back, is the poor quality of the footage in the Insta360 desktop app. In the desktop app the footage looks incredibly horrible! When I exported it in the highest quality that footage actually looked way better! Its still not at the level of a pocket 3 or a full frame but it is decent!
Totally agree, the videos look bad when editing but after exporting them they look how they are supposed to look like
I love Pocket 3 but it's hard to choose,I love X4 too
Yeah they are both really good cameras.
Get both..that’s what i did coming from both Pocket 2 and X3👌 you’ll have the perfect tools for every video scenario.
Buy a dji drone
How about insta360 GO3S vs Osmo pocket 3 ? cheers
Working on it. Should be ready in about 4 days or so
@@OttoJulian_ thank you, i literally waiting for a video to decide which camera to get in between those two
Best of luck. I use dji om3 🇧🇩
Cool!
Otto: did Insta360 approach you with asking to not reveal, that your initial review on the X4 was done using a camera provided by Insta360?
Hi. I’ve never had this or any other company to ask for such thing
You “ethics” people kill me. I don’t care whether or not some content creator discloses if a company sponsors them. I care about the quality of the camera. All this behind the scenes bickering is high school drama 🎭 Insta360 makes kick ass cameras! End of story. I think most of the faux outrage is jealousy. Smh 🤦♂️
@@Harundada1 your indifference Kills me. Dont need to be "ethic" to Care for honesty, right?
@@OttoJulian_ thanks for the clarification. This means a Lot to me.
@@snithereens Sorry to burst your bubble, but honesty does not make a camera good. Before all this social media, “influencers”, and content creators, you just bought a product because it was good. I don’t care about the behind the scenes drama. It’s for children.
I own the DJI Pocket 2, and a few months ago, I purchased the Pocket 3. Unfortunately, I am now disappointed because the screen is malfunctioning despite my careful handling. Since I am on the other side of the world, sending it back for repair is extremely expensive. Am hoping DJI to solve this issue for me.
so sorry about that. Hope they can solve the issue for you
op3 is always out of stock in my country...i checked HK and it's out of stock. 😭 that's why im trying to consider insta360 but i still find op3 better
yeah it's been sold out almost everywhere!
Being insta360 x3 user
I can confirm insta360 doesn’t provide quality customer service. In fact their warranty policy itself is scam
With that warranty you will only have 1 chance to replace lens damage (with this kind of exposed lens its quite evident one tend to damage it)
X4/X3 categorized as action cam while the fact is you need to accessorize it a lot(protect lens) which makes it uncomfortable to use as action cam
One suggestion for them is reduce its length and weight and introduce a new action cam
I wouldn’t use insta360 for vlogging as it will anyways record in .lrv format so you have to spend lot of time in editing and exporting (again consumes unnecessary space)
So BIG NO TO INSTA360 👎🏻
I like OP3 though for vlogging (but it also has limitations, you cant use it in bad weather) 😢
All 360 cameras are more vulnerable to lens damage due to the design, but you can’t blame insta360 for that, neither can you expect them to pay for repairs due to your negligence. I’ve had an x3 for almost two years with zero damage.
Insta360 X4 is not really being marketed as an action camera, but yeah, every camera needs to be properly taken care of, depending on each person's activities or shooting style. There is always a risk, even for "real" action cameras like GoPro/Action 4
Why is that pocket 3 still out of stock?
Are they recalling because of screen flip issue?
I predicted from day one that it would sell very fast. I guess they can't keep up with the demand? My best advice is to pre-order on Amazon (they won't charge you until it's shipped). That way you can secure one for next month and in the meantime just keep looking around
@@OttoJulian_ I am not from USA but would be traveling to Thailand in the month of November so will have to get from there. It is out of stock in Thailand too.
I still find x4 quality to be not like 4k when seen on 4k tv. But I like the creative shots we can take with x4.
@@roninr8199the x4 cropped output isn’t 4k. That’s why it doesn’t quite look 4k on a 4k tv. It’s closer to 2.7-3k, compared to the x3’s 1080p output.
I need 1 inch 360⁰ with image quality of Pocket 3
I’m sure that there are more professional cameras that can do that.
that insta 360 video broke down soon as a cloud went by
Where ?
@@OttoJulian_ sorry about my English. I meant it loss lot of quality soon as it got cloudy
@@CLtech05most of that is the TH-cam artifacts from compression. The x4’s half inch sensors produce grainier video in low light than the Pocket 3, but most action cameras also suffer from this except for the Action 4 and the Ace Pro because they have a 1/1.3 sensor.
