What do you think, worth it? 👇🤔 (Just a little correction. The X3 does also have Voice Control) My in-depth review of the X4: th-cam.com/video/7s-7UBIHmzc/w-d-xo.html X4 8K Cinematic Travel Video, Hawaii x Maldives: th-cam.com/video/pbXiCGOJvtQ/w-d-xo.html
The upgrades are nice but I don't use my X3 enough right now to justify the upgrade. The X3 is still a great camera and the quality is good enough for me. I can wait another 2 years for the X5.
At 01:07 on the X3 footage one can clearly see a ghosting of the Rob's cap. Is it an X3 only feature or X4 also has it? What would be the reason for this ghosting? Is it because it's 360 camera?
can you suggest me which one with should i go with ace pro or X4 please i really need to know. i kinda wanna travel and have some action but i like 360 degree mode too
What do you recommend the export settings for x4 , ace pro because i just ordered the x4 hoping it will catch up with ace pro quality for my motovlog vids
Sir i newly purchased x3.this device provide 4 k 5 k 30 fps resolution.but i am using 1080 p resolution mobile.also no 4 k resolution in this mobile.so suppose i have shoot x3 in 5.7 k 30 fps.so any effect of quality.
For me, the X4 does give better overall quality in the new 8k mode, but at least on TH-cam the resolution difference can be hard to see. Colour rendering and dynamic range are the more noticeable differences in real world shots. Upgrading from the X3 is a tough decision! I may wait until I drop mine... Anyway thanks for a thought provoking video.
Why aren’t my images being saved to my iPhone album as 360 images after I chose export as 360? It’s just flat images doesn’t save with that 360 symbol and FB doesn’t support 360 images no more ?
Just the 9 months of testing, just shows the value insta360 place on your skills / videos. X4, want; need, save but then there is the DJI mini 4 pro😂 Great video Rob
I have to agree with you with your past videos, once I make a bit of money I will definitely go for the x4, i was baffled on so many options of actions cameras and didn't know how to make the decision, I watched lots of videos and you made it clear that action cameras like the gopro or the ace pro don't necessarily compare with this type of camera in terms that this is a more fun option because of the 360ness and drone like shots, which is stuff your unable to do on other action cameras😮
What I really Would Love of the See from you a Head to Head Comparison of the insta360 1 Inch 360 Can and this new insta360 x4. for example which One of them is the best in Daylight in which One is the best in low Light? Thank you so much for your always enjoyable Reviews.
Problem is that weight keeps increasing and is now almost twice what it was for the first iteration (so is the price). 204g at the end of a selfie stick feels like a lot for action purpose when skiing and stuff like that.
@@KevinAugustt Is it my point, is the go a new line-up of theirs (or another one getting bulkier too) ? My point is : when a product reach twice the weight of what it was initially supposed to be and marketed for, is it still the same product anymore or us customers have been tricked somewhere along the way ? Because it's still an action cam at the end of the day or at least sold like it.
My friend let me have he X3 for $220 it’s worth it to buy the X3 instead X4 with the price tag $499 plus tax. This my first 360 camera. Please advise. Thank you
Not just that, who really watch a video checking minimal lower quality in something already really good, if you are not watching a movie or something really cinematic, this differences are nothing.
The video quality looks much better on the new X4 compared to the X3. Great testing, I might have consider upgrading after watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
Normally a month, but i was asked to help improve and test, which of course i couldn’t say no to🙌😱. But the progress from start to finish is impressive!
@@RobHK So that makes you a pretty highly influential TH-camr then right? 😉 BTW I bought your X3 cheat sheets and they are great. Is there a difference with your X4 cheat sheets?
Idk about that tho. I just loved the X3 so couldn’t say no really. These 360 cams have really added that extra i was looking for when traveling! Ionly differenceis the settings for the different shooting styles. But the creative shots etc will be the same 👌😊
Great information..thanks for making this Quality video...worth to subscribe to your channel too..I'm new to this gadget and never had one action camera throughout my life.All my video on my channel using Mobile Phone.. it's time for game changing and upgrade with this type of Technology.Will look forwards with your videos for tips and information...Thanks again.. appreciate your effort making this video...
All these paid review youtubers hyping it up without any reason, only difference is 8k thats it and nobody want to use 8k. It will take 1tb card easily to shoot one day
26 - The cost of a repair lens is $99 since it WILL SCRATCH if you touch it on ANYTHING 27 - $99 was the cost of the repair for the X2 - so its probably much more expensive now! 28 - The turnaround time to get the lens repair is over 8+ weeks if they get back to you in a timely fashion (which they won't) 29 - The lens guards severely degrade the footage and effect the stitch - hence why no finluencer actually shows using them - so again back to no 26 - you will SCRATCH THE LENSES! I can keep going if you like - I have spent over $700 on ONE of these cameras and had to go through the repair process 3 TIMES - I finally GAVE UP ON USING THEM! Stop LYING to people and calling these things action cameras - they are just as fragile and there fore - not as versatile as they claim - as any other camera - even more so with these lenses!
Depends what you want it for, I have go pro and x3, Yes go pro will beat the x3 on film quality as the 4k is still 4k in editing compared to to the Lower quality reframed edit, but the 360 captures everything with need to worry about what to point it at, so better for action sports, yes Go Pro has there own older 360 cam to, use what they are intended for and be carful with the lens.
@@RobHK it doesnt matter ...one little schrach not even drop it this camera is useless because you have to change the lens for this change you have to sen camera to hongkong and cost you about 150 dollar ,,,,this is a action camera they have to do it with gorilla glas or little beat cheap repair cost i cant use it while i know it happens again no costomer happines with this product
@@Windsurfingaddict when i buy the x3 ----,i m thinking ,must be stabil camera yes but those lens plastic they send now with lens guard but again they send cheap plastic lenses must be guard it so cheap again and this time one lens change cost to costomer 220 dollars
why would you encode it to 1080p? Render nice crisp 8k video, upload it to a video hosting platform, share the link, boom easy. Why go out of your way to ruin it?

I literally just got my x3 2 weeks ago. Upgrade is out of the question for me
X3 is still awesome!
for me the killer feature are the removable lens guard. I have crashed already twice my lenses. the next time I crash the lenses, I will get the x4
The upgrades are nice but I don't use my X3 enough right now to justify the upgrade. The X3 is still a great camera and the quality is good enough for me. I can wait another 2 years for the X5.
What are the indents on the bottom of the X4 on both sides of the threaded mount?
At 01:07 on the X3 footage one can clearly see a ghosting of the Rob's cap. Is it an X3 only feature or X4 also has it? What would be the reason for this ghosting? Is it because it's 360 camera?
It is due to him line up at the stiching point of the x3, so it shows both videoso from 2 lens overlap each other
how do you get the speedometer and the map in the motorcycle shot? insta360 or movie magic?
You can do it via the app. But u need garmin, apple watch or gos remote connected via Bluetooth
can you suggest me which one with should i go with ace pro or X4 please i really need to know. i kinda wanna travel and have some action but i like 360 degree mode too
Lense forging ??

Ye, that Mini 4 🙆 if we can have a mini 5 360 pls🥵

That might be a video for the future, maybe this summer! or on the motorbike ^^
Saw a review on this and they were both comparable in daylight but x4 got blown away by the 1inch in lowlight
I own the X3 and it’s an awesome camera. But the incremental upgrades in the X4 were worthwhile to me so I upgraded and I’m glad I did.
Looking to upgrade from my one X. I’m sure I’m going to feel that lol
low light comparision pls? thank you :)
Problem is that weight keeps increasing and is now almost twice what it was for the first iteration (so is the price). 204g at the end of a selfie stick feels like a lot for action purpose when skiing and stuff like that.
That's why they have the go series. Want smaller get that. Want a smaller 360 cam with the same quality? Good luck designing that.
@@KevinAugustt Is it my point, is the go a new line-up of theirs (or another one getting bulkier too) ?

Pocket 3 vs X4? Which one would yall choose
Oh man. I have a video in the making on that one! The $500 battle 😬😬😬
Depends on the usage, one is for vloging, the other is more action oriented.
My friend let me have he X3 for $220 it’s worth it to buy the X3 instead X4 with the price tag $499 plus tax. This my first 360 camera. Please advise. Thank you
Nice video. But are the images a little soft compared to a conventional action camera?
yes, because you have to understand the marketed 8K, is divided by the 360 resolution.
A question off topic a bit. Where did you record this wonderful footage?
In the Maldives and Hawaii 😊
@@RobHK Thank you. Maledives are on my list not only since i bought the X4 🙂
Sweet👌 its not a place for me tho😅 bad wifi, not enough to do and food on the lower end
@@RobHKbad Wi-Fi 😂
10bit would’ve been perfect
How did you come up with 78%? I think you meant 22%?
29491200 pixels vs 16588800 pixels. 1.777777778 times more pixels. 77,8% ~ 78%.
I say with good lighting conditions, X3 produces very good image quality almost identical to X4.
Not just that, who really watch a video checking minimal lower quality in something already really good, if you are not watching a movie or something really cinematic, this differences are nothing.
9 months!!!!! I had no idea that they would have something that early to test before actually selling... wow!
Beta/Alpha test tho, so yea process is quite long
Great video! Very informative🫶
Thank you 🙌😃
X4 is good improvement over the X3 but the Insta360 One RS one inch edition is the overall winner for both day and night time video recording.
Could be, i havent done the test yet so hard to say atm
The video quality looks much better on the new X4 compared to the X3. Great testing, I might have consider upgrading after watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering how far in advance do they send out their new product for you to use before its release date but wow! 9 months?! I guessed a month. 😄

thats what she said

I use a 512 and shoot for a week tho 🤷♂️
Very true. Say good stuff get good stuff
It looks more natural when it’s 60fps? Hmmm I am out!
Low light improvement too little versus the x3
👍
Memode solid reason
Its Anantara Maldive, its nice place to visit
Its Jawakara

Amazing how you've sent the X4 in for repair 3 times in 1 month.
Not big enough, i think the new Insta 1 inch should be a better investment.
Encoding the 8k video will be a pain in the ass..to 1080p for sharing. Who's going to share 8k videos for friends & family to view?
why would you encode it to 1080p? Render nice crisp 8k video, upload it to a video hosting platform, share the link, boom easy. Why go out of your way to ruin it?
