This is the best review I've seen for the x4.
Keep up the amazing work 🎉
THANK YOU so much! 🙏🏼 I put a lot of effort into creating this for you guys so that really means a lot.
You're one of the best teachers about 360 cameras.
Thank you for the review on manual!
A lot of info here, thanks for sharing
Nice work! My X4 arrives soon!
Great video. this is my 1st video camera in a long time and I am amazed at the versatility. I went from "How do I work this thing" to being able to shoot a 360 video after your easy instruction. Going to go out, record some stuff and practice editing, exporting and publishing. (After a few more you tube videos of course.) Ordered your book today. Best regards everyone.
The best manual for the camera ! Thank you so much. You´re a Pro !
Wow, thanks!!! I appreciate your comment 👍
@JordanHetrick Hey man wicked explanation and straight to the point
What's the widest field of view to use that has the least amount of fisheye look?
I like GoPro's linear look but it's very narrow
Does the X4 improve on this and if so, what's the best fov to use ??
Much appreciated video!
I need every tutorial video to be just like this one. GREAT WORK!
Wow, thanks! That is a great compliment.
Yeah! Thanks for sharing! and looking forward to watching more about Insta360 X4 filming editting
Thank you! I look forward to sharing more X4 videos with you in the near future! 👍
amazing video, thanks for the insights, really helpful.
Bro is a life saver.he just told me everything i need to know in 27mns. ❤
Happy to help! Thank you for the comment 👍
Thank you Jordan for a great x4 intro and walk through. I just got my x4 today. What setting would you recommend if I'm taking it to a rave and record at night time and what noise reduction setting would you set it to? Thank you
Nice, concise walk-through of this camera.
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU for the comment!
Love the step to step, clear instructions and lack of excessive frivolity. 😉Very thorough too.Well done, sir.
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my style!
big thank you..
You're welcome!
really appreciate this video.
Thanks a lot
Most welcome!!! Thank you for the comment!
Super informative and well executed video. Thank you so much. You rock 🤘🏻
Man, you are awesome. Thank you so much for posting this video, great help for sure. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much!!!! 🙏🏼😎
Excellent video sir, just ordered one to put on my motorcycle for those cool road trips. 😎
Great video. Thinking about moving from my GoPro to an Insta360 camera.
Thanks for this great tutorial. This is my first 360 action cam and i feel a little overwhelmed.
mine too as well
Thank you! It definitely can be a bit confusing at first. Keep at it and come back to this video again after playing with the camera a bit. Also, once the book is available, you will find it really helpful. 🙏🏼
Can you charge and record at the same time?
GREAT vid! We just got one of these to film our off road adventures (stepping up from a GoPro Hero 360). One note, I def prefer the x3 bag's exterior (@05:11) vs the one that came with the x4 (neoprene exterior).
Question….can you broadcast live VR mode while driving down the road?
Nice as always!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Hopefully I can have one someday
Mine arrived yesterday can’t wait to unbox it tonight..😊 awesome video👍🏽
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun with your new camera 👍
Nice!!!! Just got this for my channel thank you for the tips!!! Thanks 🙏
No problem!! My pleasure to help out 🤙
Thank you for such great tutorial! I wonder how does this video format work with Adobe Premiere and AE, so that I can use them with other elements. Do 360 video work in Meta VR Quest?
Great video. I had a question about the horizon lock, is it possible to turn off that function in the camera at the moment of record, to simulate an fpv drone? or is something of post?. Thanks
Thank you so much Jordan for this useful and helpful video about Insta 360x4. I was confused between x3 & x4 but apparently I'm gonna buy the x4. Thanks again for your help with this video :)
You are welcome! The X4 is really good!
hi Jordan, the book is currently on pre order? when will the book be released?
I just got the X4 today and watched your video!! Finally a comprehensive easy to follow guide.. Thanks so much.. Once thing I wanted to ask is I selected my videos to download and its doing that now. Will that automatically clear the sd card or is there a good way to do this action? Thanks a mill..
Jordan I really thanks you for your support to understand Insta360 X4. I would like to ask you an info: what's the difference between "wind reduction" and "active wind reduction"? Thanks a lot, very good job
Just got the camera yesterday. I have 3 days to learn this before Bali. This video will help give me the crash course I need. I plan to buy the book when it comes out in June. Although, I saw digital copy will be available 6/25 but wondering if a hard copy is available then too?
Could it be used for a 2 person interview instead of having to use 2 cameras for capturing both speakers ?
I'm curious if it's possible to use the apparently better quality 5.3k 120 fps of the bullet time feature as slow motion instead of 4k 100 fps super slow motion?
Is there a Insta 360 app for iPad?
Can you power it on the usb-c alone, continuously? How much 8k footage can you get on a micro sd card?
Very good tutorial thank you so so much at 12:43 seconds you're the first one to show the mark for AI editing :-)
Thank you for the comment! I'm happy to have helped you 👍
I am waiting my insta360 x4. I will need this tutorial. Thanks
Congrats on the new camera and be sure to come back when it arrives. Have a great day!
Hello sir. Thanks for the great X4 videos. Just purchased one and need to learn how to use it. I have heard, in the near future you will be able to listen/record multiple headset communications on this device. Meaning you and your wife are riding on two different bikes using headsets to communicate and the X4 can capture both conversations?? Do you know anything about that? Thank you.
Great video and very informative. I was thinking of holding out to see if Gopro was going to make a new 360 camera but i like the big touch screen on the X4. Tough decision. Look forward to your next video and ny the way you have great books and i own 3 of them.
Thank you so much for the comment and the feedback about the books! I've been wondering, and expecting, a new 360 camera from GoPro for a long time now. I keep thinking it will come out soon, but now who knows? Regardless the X4 is a solid 360 camera. Best of luck with the decision!
I can’t find any information on the pre-recording video. Do you have any insight? How much time can you set it for? Does it work in all modes (like slow motion video).The feature is listed on their website, but I can’t find anyone going over that info. Thanks :)
Thanks but is there a,quick way to review the video I've just shot without editing ?
Active HDR nobody mentioned what settings are there available!? Is 360 available and what quality?
do you know if you can export the "Edit Data" (Keyframes...etc) from the mobile app and save to a memory card so you can edit on the desktop? You can do this on the X3 by clicking on the "Edit Data" tab, but on the X4 it does not appear this tab is there?
Thanks for sharing. May I ask the info for a long invisible stick that you have?
No problem. It's the Insta360 Extended 3m Selfie Stick. I added a link in the description for you in case you have a hard time finding it.
Where can I buy?
The X3 has a quick recording feature, but it is exclusive only to the 5.7K 360 mode. Does the X4 have a quick recording feature in single-lens mode (such as 1080p mode, single lens)?
i was already invested to buy this perfect for content creator and vlogger like me..just waiting for it to be available in UAE..
Hope you enjoy it once you can get your hands on one!
@@JordanHetrick i am already excited and imagining all the beautiful shots and transition i can do with this camera..thanks for your video, it will be easier now to navigate the gadget and its features
Thank you for the videos about X4. What do you recommend me? the standard selfie stick or the extended 3 meter selfie stick? I want to use this for both cycling and walking.
I recommend the standard selfie stick for most activities. The 3m selfie stick is great for invisible drone shots, but the larger diameter handle tends to show up a bit more in your hand for those invisible selfie stick shots. 👍👍
Freeframe may be the reason this camera works for me, and this is a good example of why they probably added the feature. I record in 4:3 with my GoPro for MTB videos. When going down steep sections or just riding flats, the camera angle changes (chest mounted camera - the chin mount is less of a problem though). The top to bottom viewpoint is very important so that you get the proper ratio of MTB to sky. Too much of either ruins the video, and it's hard to nail that down perfectly in 16:9 to accommodate all the angles in a day's ride. Adjusting the camera physically during the ride is impractical and just guesswork to fit the location. But 4:3 allows more flexibility and forgiveness top to bottom, and you can choose where you want to cut it to 16:9 ratio in post, and at 4K resolution. Much easier to get the perfect shot that way. The problem with filming in 360 has always been that reframing the giant perspective and zooming in for a natural, less distorted look kills the resolution far too much, leaving a choice of either distorted or low quality images. Maybe the 8K 360 is that much better and fixes the issue of quality on zoom, but I kind of doubt it's quite enough. But the 4K Freeframe should essentially allow 4:3 shooting and 4K framing choice in post. Very cool. I had mostly abandoned 360 filming the past couple of years due to those issues (and constantly scratching expensive lenses) and not wanting to carry around 2 camera systems. The freeframe, 8k, and reasonable lens guards hopefully will fix all of that, and it will be awesome to have both 360 capability and MTB-usable 4k action cam in one. Will allow more variety because I love shooting in 360 as well for lots of applications.
What about the buttons - below the power and right of shutter button ? I've ordered mine.
I showed those in the beginning of the Camera tour in this video. On the side is the Quick button for presets. The button next to the Shutter can be used to scroll through modes and also can be customized.
why can I not find a way to transfer files from camera to PC i plugged it in and nothing happens but charging
Great information. I just got mine yesterday.
Glad it was helpful!! Thank you for the comment. 🙏🏼
Does the single lens mode still shoot in a 360 way? meaning do you still have to frame the subject?
In single lens mode, whatever you see in the camera's view through one of the lenses is what will be recorded. There is no changing the view after you record. I hope that makes sense. 👍
This is excellent content, as always. But Is this a sponsored video complying with Insta 360’s demands to minimise or completely hide all references to same?
Thank you. Yes, Insta360 sponsored this video so I could get it to you at the launch. But it is completely self-directed and I decide what I want to include to help you guys get started with the X4. Thanks for watching!
Do single lens will make longer recording compare to double lens recording? And its same on memory usage as well
The files require much less memory for single lens videos. Both can record for extended periods without overheating (if that is what you meant), unless you are recording in 8k 360 video.
Do you have any footage comparing premium lens quard to a standard one to back it up what you said that the premium are a little bit better ? Most reviews claim that the premium once are actually wors with sun glare
They are worse in all the tests I’ve seen. Search here.
Yes. The worst..
I am going to work on some more tests with the new camera and I'll try trying to let you guys know what I discover. 👍
Low light which is better pocket 3 , x4 , ace pro ??
I have not done enough side by side comparison yet in low light with the Ace Pro, but I feel like the Ace Pro might have the upper hand. But, like I said, I still need to test out that comparison more before giving a final verdict.
Great video. Please change the video starting at 53 seconds as you show the camera resting unprotected on the lens on a hard surface. New people might scratch their lens if they do what you show (Even though later you show how to protect the lens). Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. The camera has the protective plastic on the lenses straight out of the box. Hopefully, as long as people follow the steps, they will also follow my tips to protect those lenses.
What´s better for motorbike? 5.7K 60fps or the new one 5.7K+ 30fps? 8K I guess it´s maybe too much for tik tok videos
How come when I edit my 360 8K footage in premiere, it looks great, but when it's uploaded to TH-cam, even selecting 4K res, it looks like shit and blurry on outside edges?
How to turn fish lense effect off?
How is the low light performance?
I show a few low light clips in my X3 vs X4 comparison video. It's improved with the low light stabilization setting, but still not amazing. This camera is definitely designed more for daylight.
Pity your book on Amazon gets released on the 25th of June 2024. I would have bought today. Oh well maybe next time. I can always return here until it’s released 😅
Hi Dr. Stew,
Thanks for the message. I wish it was available sooner for you too! If it is available before then, I will leave a comment here to let you know. Have a great day!
@@JordanHetrick Oh wow. Man thanks,am so happy you replied. I will defiantly check back. So i’ll like and Sub 🙏🏾 cheers
If scuba diving is your thing don’t buy the X4.
The X4 has a dive case preset which has 8K video. Today I wanted to try my new dive case during a snorkel. I was surprised that it stopped because of ‘over heating’. Or so it notified. Very frustrating for sure. I suspect this overheating problem will be ironed out in the X5.
Is this thing only can take video or can this take photos too?
The X4 can take 360 photos and regular photos. The 360 photos are 72MP and really fun for capturing multiple perspectives from a single photo.
@@JordanHetrick okay
Sorry, but Bullet Time mode is overrated. Noone uses it except the reviewers and influencers :P
Also, there is a new 5.7K+ added since last update ;)
“They’re really nice when you want to protect your lens”
So always then… 😂
Haha yes of course you always want to protect your lenses. But in situations where the lens is not at risk, you will get better quality and an easier filming experience without the lens guards.
When shooting video in HDR mode it does not allow you to do 8K. It lowers to 5.7k
Yes, that is correct. HDR video does not support 8k.
@@JordanHetrick Do you think they'll add a back in a firmware update.
tech tip: if you are on wifi and geo bi-directionally block russia the app wont work properly. either disable block or just block incoming ;-)
The tutorial is great, but the 360-reframed footage looks quite bad. It is much better than X3, but it is like for short shots, before you can see, it looks bad. So, I found all these reviews and tutorials very much deceiving. I´m talking from my experience, owning X4.
Thank you, but I disagree that the reframed footage looks bad. If you zoom in too far, it can look bad, but it really depends on how you edit the 360 videos. The X4 is capable of producing really high quality, clear reframed videos.
@@JordanHetrick@JordanHetrick If so, so why there is none in your examples? I do not compare with DLRS, but it is still far from e.g. GoPro. Why are you deceiving even more? "Really high quality, clear videos"? If you try hard, shoot still without movement, in golden hour, pointing lens on the subject yes maybe. I just compare footage from DJI pocket 3 and it is day and night diference without editing. I'm not saying you cannot have great shoots with X4, but you you tubers should show how it will look for average Joe. But if you want sell something, you always show it in the best scenario.
Let me bounce in and let you all know most people buy the most affordable cell phones, most people overload their cell phones with files . Most your audience won't care about anything over 1080p
In fact on a really poor cell phone 4k and up still looks 780
good comparison with the x3, as a x3 owner the x4 is a flop and a pass for me....i'll wait for the DJI action 5 to come out at a much lower price point. x4 is over priced for the poor image quality you get with the same crappy 1/2" sensor as the x3. zero low light improvement with some crappy AI image enhancements.
in the meantime I just plan to use my x3 in single lens mode to capture 4K, but I think I am done with 360 cams for the poor quality video it renders in the end. the rendered video of the x4 will just be 2k rendered if that, there is no way it's even near 4k, so not sure why all the tubers keep saying it is?
I suppose someone (you) could to a real comparion with x4 render video with action 4 true 4K video side by side. I would be interested to see this, both in low light and fast motion scenarios. something that actually pushes the limits and tests quality using action.
Wow you’re very clueless. X4 is better in every way
@@blocktrain849 please troll you don't know anything.
my concern is the privacy setting on the app. It’s a Chinese company and they are not trustworthy.
Hmmmm. I am not a pro at privacy issues.
Could you elaborate on the privacy setting? Or is it just a hunch?
