The Insta360 X4 is a solid significant leap forward in 360-degree action cameras, offering a suite of special attributes that set it apart from its predecessors and competitors. Its defining feature is undoubtedly the introduction of 8K 360° video capture at 30fps. This groundbreaking resolution, a first for a consumer-grade 360 camera, provides an incredible 78% more pixels than the previous 5.7K standard. The result is unparalleled detail and clarity, making reframed footage from the X4 on par with traditional camera footage and giving creators far more flexibility in post-production.
Beyond the headline 8K resolution, the X4 enhances video quality with higher frame rates. It can shoot 5.7K video at a silky-smooth 60fps, ideal for capturing fast-moving action and creating impressive cinematic slow-motion clips. For even more dramatic slow-motion, the camera offers 4K at 100fps, allowing users to slow down time by four times without sacrificing significant detail.
The X4 is not just a 360-degree camera; it's a versatile two-in-one device. Its "Single-Lens Mode" allows it to function as a traditional action camera, with the capability to record crisp 4K footage at 60fps. This is a substantial upgrade from previous models and makes the X4 a compelling choice for a wide range of shooting scenarios. Additionally, the camera's "Me Mode" simplifies the process of capturing yourself in action, automatically keeping you in the frame and producing a 4K video that’s ready to share without the need for reframing.
A new, powerful 5nm AI chip powers these advancements, enabling faster processing, superior image quality, and a higher bitrate of 200 Mbps. This chip also contributes to the camera's intelligent features, such as AI-powered reframing tools in the Insta360 app that make editing effortless. The X4 also comes with a much-improved battery, a 2290mAh cell that delivers a whopping 135 minutes of runtime at 5.7K30fps—a 67% increase over the X3—ensuring you can capture more of the action.
Further enhancing its rugged, go-any-anywhere design, the X4 is natively waterproof to 33 feet (10 meters) and now comes with easily removable lens guards for hassle-free protection. Insta360’s signature FlowState Stabilization and 360° Horizon Lock technologies remain at the core, guaranteeing incredibly smooth and level footage no matter how intense the activity. With features like the "Invisible Selfie Stick," which magically disappears from your shots to create impossible third-person and drone-like perspectives, and a large, durable 2.5-inch touchscreen for easy control, the Insta360 X4 is engineered to push the boundaries of creative content capture.
