Took the Insta360 X4 for a run

- I run with GoPro cameras and occasionally other cameras too. In this video I'll share what I like about the X4 for running.
Other 360 cameras have always compromised too much on the video quality after reframing the footage. The X4 from Insta360 has made a big jump in resolution to 8K, meaning that reframed 360 footage from this camera coming in at around 2.7K looks much better than any other 360 consumer camera I have ever used.

This video is not sponsored and I purchased the X4 myself.
Agreed on everything you said. Just did a gravel bike race and having to look down to see if red light is blinking is very crash-prone. Otherwise, incredible device!
Do you post any videos of that? Gravel biking with X4 would be super cool!
Excelente video! Very interesting and informative!
Thank you!
Nice video and awesome opening music track!!
Thanks…. I like it too!
I love the still warning clip lmaoooo
Just trying to be transparent 😂
Some interesting perspectives, thanks. I have the X1 and X3. I don't use them for running else the footage would also show the arrival of an ambulance, but I find them great for capturing family occasions and the like, without missing out on the occasion due to having my eye glued to a viewfinder. Will I upgrade? I am tempted...
I was filming a TH-cam video on the X3 at the end of March, so I have a lot of comparison footage taken recently on X3 and X4. IMO there is a big difference and if you are tempted you should get the X4. The only comparison footage I included in the video was the bullet time clip from X3 on the beach, I am seeing a big difference in image quality and stitch line concealment with X4 compared to the X3, and the lighting was much better for the X3 clip on a beach than the X4 clip in the woods. Hope this helps (love the running comment!)
@@ThisIsJulianC It helps. The ache in my wallet is getting almost unbearable... :)
Good luck!
I date way back to the Mi Sphere. I have been using Qoocam 8k for several years, but the batteries go bad and you can't buy replacements. Same for lenses. I have been waiting for the new Qoocam, but it never came out. Apparently Insta360 finally got rid of the 15 second gap every half hour when recording with an external battery, so I guess I will have to go back to Insta360. My old Qoocam battery is slowly pushing the back off the camera. I could never go back to 5.7k.
I have been told that X4 does now offer continuous recording without the break but I have not tested it fully. 8K is a game changer, providing enough resolution for usable reframed footage. I don't think it will disappoint you.
Is there a mount to attach this to a trail running hydration vest?
The X4 uses a regular camera tripod mount, there is a threaded socket on the bottom of X4. You can securely attach it to any number of such mounts. You could use the Peak Design Capture Clip or a similar backpack shoulder strap mount to mount it.
However the last time I used a hydration vest it wasn't easy to secure it tightly, I would expect the vest to move a lot as you run. The camera image might be able to cope with that, the Flow State stabilization is incredible on the X4, but you may find the camera itself moves about too much on your vest and be uncomfortable when running. Hope this helps
What's your favourite running camera? Would it the action pro 4, Go pro or this?
GoPro Hero 12. It’s the one I reach for most frequently and has the best overall image quality and stabilization.
That camera is bad-ass! I just got one, have yet to use it
The image quality looks so muddy compared to DJI Action 4 and pocket 3 though.
It is not realistic to compare the image quality of any current consumer 360 camera to Action 4, Hero 12 or Pocket 3. The image of a 360 camera is compromised by the extreme wide angle and the reframing process. If you don’t need the ‘shoot now reframe later’ flow of a 360 camera… any of those regular cameras is going to get you better image quality.
@@ThisIsJulianC but is you are using single lens without any reframing, is the image quality better and sharper?
@@samer820In that mode it will be up to 4K, higher resolution than reframed 360 footage but still using the extreme wide angle lens and software to hide the selfie pole. As a 360 camera compared to anything else in the consumer space that I have used, X4 is a significant step up.
But if you are looking for it to match the image quality of Hero 12, Action 4 or Pocket 3 you will be disappointed
But i don't see a video of you running with X3
That wasn't in the plan for this video.
Please don't buy anyone it's overheating and there is a huge charging problem. Low photo quality
I have not encountered any of the issues you list. Did you read the manual.
