Lauren, Mrs. Taylor really enjoyed being found!

Great content! thanks. The only issue I have with this device is the map not updating as quick. It takes a very long time to locate the device on the map. And I live in NYC. Any settings that would improve the map location? Thanks!

I have seen the 360 look around footage. Not great. Too much hype around this camera. The only honest reviews are from people buying it. I use the Go pro Max. Not as good specs wise however You Tube compression evens it out anyways. It's better until you upload it. People buying expensive cameras forget about You Tube compression. 8k doesn't mean anything. The best formula I follow is the video and audio quality when uploaded. When a video is primarily uploaded it is displayed in 1080p for viewers then changes to 2160p nothing better. You can upload 8k but most people have 4k tvs. Waste of money. You are spot on for what you said. If I was only viewing videos at home fine. Much better but I upload. That is where you realize it doesn't make a difference. I can run Go Pro Max footage through topaz AI upscaling and get better performance. DJI will make a 360 camera and that will end 360 and go pro.

is there anyway to remove the chest/sternum strap? I can't figure it out

Every person does it differently from the whitestone video. That sponge thing per their video comes off before the light and it's placed at the bottom of the jig touching the bottom. Cure 15 sec all 3 spots.

For a long time I didn't like 360 cameras because I never liked the way the footage looked, let alone the extra editing needed in order for it to work right in your videos. But I am now taking content creation serious and decided to have a look at a 360 camera. I already own 2 insta360 cameras, go3 and go3s and love them both so I decided to check out the x4 since it was the newest thing out. I watched a BUNCH of videos on it and decided to pick one up. So far I am starting to like this camera more and more. I actually like doing the extra editing. But I can understand your issues with this camera.

Great video!! How did your phone know it was at the grave site, but was hard to track it down when you were so close to it? I want to put one in my truck incase it gets stolen and if can work for that purpose? Sorry for possibly dumb question first time looking into these things, thanks!

Tôi cần 1 chiếc máy vừa quay tốt và chụp ảnh tốt nhưng pocket 3 chỉ tốt khi quay video . S24 ultra thì lại ko thể tracking như pocket 3 vì tôi chỉ đi quay video 1 mình, vậy phải lựa chọn sản phẩm nào đây

Thank you for helping me to make a good decision for my action 3

Nice vid bro, I was thinking of getting one of these to compare it to my Holland Mars M1 Enhanced. If it is a better cost effective option for recording playback then I would like to inform my viewers accordingly.

great video

Some advice, look at the demographics of the people who steal in your area, then you’ll know what tag type/devices to get.

I dont share Raw files, I am clear that the client will get around 12 to 15 edited photos for 2 hrs of shooting. The issue here is as Donny mention, they will pick unflattering pics and use a free software to edit them. If the client want me to shoot for 2 staring hrs and give them all the pics, thats a separate deal and my rate is higher.

Almost every single review on CZcams does not do what you just did. This is what most of us ask ourselves is, can we locate something after we lose it? What a great video the simplicity of it makes it just that much more amazing. Thank you both for doing this.

S24 Frontcamera?

You have to have thick skin when you are an artist. Don't over read it. They paid the bill and that's what tells you that you did a good job. Maybe they had an artistic vision themself and you inspired that in them. That would be a compliment. I would charge extra for the Raw files and ask that credit for those Raw files be given to you. If you get into video work, you will have less problems with these issues. I did a leather painted plaque of a bear catching a fish in the water as it went upstream. My customer loved it but wanted me to change the colour of the fish. At first I was offended but then I remembered that the customer is always right. Remember that saying. So I changed it and he was happy. When we do things for other people we have some creative control but they are paying for it. A cook creates a type of food art and sometimes goes through a lot of effort to make it with their vision. Then someone puts ketchup all over it or sends it back to get well done. This is the thick skin creative people need when monetizing their creations. Good luck and I hope this helps you get past this.

I’m trying to condense this question as much as I can. I have a Nikon Z 50 and the video recording time limit is 29 minutes. Will I be able to through the HDMI out on the camera get recording times beyond the 29 minutes?

Will it take years to get true 4K ?

Excellent review.

I heard you can't take these off and replace. Also when it breaks the screen on the phone breaks too. How would you remove the protector if it's glued on??

I would have been offended as well. I would have felt like someone just wanted to take credit for my work. This is why I don't like communicating just by the written word. I tell people that the written word is up to the reader to determine the context and tone of the message. I think if they would have called you and made the request you may have felt different. Either way, Yes charge extra for the RAW files.

I like how you explained your perspective as the editor which the client definitely doesn’t approach the photos in the exact same way, love to see CZcams recommending smaller channels and I enjoyed the video! :)

So, it doesn't record in 4K? I guess it doesn't cut it for me.

I need to change my watch band so you can tell me what kide of bank is best to usd

A cinematic strobe like design. Good for studio or small area for its size

I know you stated it can switch from manual to TTL mode but, will it convert TTL reading to the equivalent manual power setting like the older triggers can?

Very interesting and useful video to understand the strengths and weaknesses of this camera. I stumbled across the Insta360 X4 in regards to scuba diving and think it a great cam for this job. While diving you have a very limited view and the fact that you can simply carry the stick around and do all the rest during editing is just super useful. Might even discover things you have completely missed during dive since you did not look into the right direction. As you already said in your video, every cam has its specific purpose where it shines.

You are much better off with GPS the smart tag and airtag are completely useless unless someone is nearby with a phone for it to ping off

Just to doublecheck, the front of the case also has a quick release connector? So when you mounted the camera on your backpack, it could be mounted with the screen facing you as well right ? What would you use on the bottom of the camera to make it quick connects with say a mini tripod/selfy stick?

Helpful video. When you're using 4 lights do you find it's a negative that you can't see the 4th light setting on the screen at a glance since it only shows 3 on the screen?

Excellent video. I wanted to buy pocket 3 when it was launched but it was not available to buy easily or at right price at my place. So, I waited around. Then my phone died, and I ended up getting S24U in a good deal. Now, was wondering how it compares, and I was surprised to see it does so well. I was surprised with how each hair is visible clearly. I have always loved the DJI pocket series. And yes, the best part is that it is so stealth. Perfect travel-vlog camera I would say. It is awkward to record in public. Also, people's reactions change if they know they are being recorded, thus for family events, it is better to be stealth. Here are a few ideas for new videos-- how to acheive that Bokeh or cinematic feel with S24U, especially the one while you were at the river banks and at 14:07 . Best settings for right audio. Is there any difference between 8k vs 4k in quality. There is a dual recording feature, is that useful, and is there quality difference.

small cage baby great vid

My Insta360x4 charges at 16W. Insta360 states 18W (9V/2A). You will need to get a better charger/cable. I'm not sure, but I think the camera only charged fast if it was turned off. But when it overheats (in the sun), charging slows down or stops charging completely.

Phone market has saturated. There hasnt been much difference from S20 to S24. So, this is more like Laptops which saturated around 2010. A high end laptop from 2016 is still very usable in 2024. So, 7 years of phone use is viable for flagship phones.

I have been eye on this item for a while... was thinking should get one or a pair. It seems single unit is powerful enough for my project. Thank you so much for the box open and review!

I just bought my Ulanzi case for my OP3 and can’t wait for it to arrive. It’s a shame I didn’t see your video earlier; I would have definitely bought it through your link. Keep up the amazing work with these beautiful videos. I’m subscribing right now.

I swear, when you said 'magnets, man!' I said it along in the exact same moment. Magnets have the power to unite all men.

Friend, thank you for your video. I was unsure about which of these 3 cameras to buy, I considered the S24 a lot as a single device to replace my smartphone and camera, but it's never good to have all your eggs in one basket. My goal is to film landscapes without showing my face. I don't want to focus on objects. Thanks to your video, I chose to buy a Samsung A54 5G and a Pocket 3, and now I'm waiting for the delivery. Image stabilization is something I highly value, and I noticed flaws in the S24. I hope I made a good choice. Consider including Portuguese subtitles. Hugs from Brazil. 🇧🇷

Wise words from Lauren regarding not having to point the camera; You see a lot of people complaining that people spend too much time experiencing things through their phone screens, this is the perfect antidote to that. You don't have to think what to shoot at the time, just put it on a stick and let its do its thing. Then later you can go back and decide where the "virtual camera" is pointing. And you can use the tracking to simplify editing.

Personally I think people can say it’s the best 360 Camera as it is for it’s purpose, there is no other 360 camera that can beat this, yes there is A Go Pro 360 and RS1 inch camera better in low light but not waterproof and a few others. Yes the pocket 3 is better quality with its 1 inch sensor compared to 1/2 inch x3 and X4. But it would not stand up to abuse for extreme sports and that gimbal will break easily and is not waterproof but I would buy one for vlogging and normal non sports use so horses for courses. This and the even smaller insta X3 can do what other cameras can not do for high action sports, yes I get the quality is not as good as a dedicated much larger camera or not as good as pocket 3 or osmo / Go Pro 12 ect but it can not be due to it has to be reframed and loses quality but there is no avoiding this as any 360 camera. A dedicated camera with its full Frame or Acps / micro 4/3rds ect ect ect are all larger sensors and records to its specs and not loss in reframing. It’s just the inherent nature of a 360. You could not strap a huge non water proof camera to say windsurfing kit and expect it to survive and the stabilisation is fantastic, yes it has its flaws but Can’t be this certain applications, for years it was The Go Pro to get such extreme shots for extreme sports as the heritage is for action camera use at the end of the day but people have also found a purpose to use as more versatile drone shots via a long self stick. I’m old can can say I watch films in black and white, laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton, lots of old black-and-white and early colour war movies and the quality of the film is not that great but it’s the story you get involved in and do not sit there thing about the quality of the film at all. 4K 1080p amd all other advancements has not been around all that long really, oh and I remember VHS and Betamax cassette tape battles and the quality was pretty poor compared to now watching say the insta x3 or x4 ect. I have lots of video shot on tape going back from 70s 80s and you should watch those to compare the quality, but it’s the memories and there is something to be said for old film look as it dictates the era and certainly gives it more of a nostalgic look instead of nowadays what is really very good footage from even cheap cameras. I’m Not having a go at what your saying as yes it’s not as good as dedicated bigger sensor cameras but it’s still very watchable but sort of think everybody nowadays is always getting hung up on it has to be this quality or it’s not that good quality if you get my drift 🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳

The 360 cameras has been out for years. When you reframe/crop 360 footage to 16:9 you lose resolution. The x4 footage will be 2.7k after reframing. The 4k on export is 2.7k upscaled. Also the 8k resolution is the combination of two 4k lenses with ~180 fov. 8k is the resolution for the entire 360 footage. Use your brain people.

I was using pixel buds a for last 1.5+ years and today ordered buds pro at lowest price possible like 8.1k inr

Im somewhat confused with this review. I agree with the idea that this camera is for unique situations, but i have to disagree with much of your review and some of your points. Quality is excellent for a 360 camera, software is very slick, and works very well for 360 software. Its super easy to pull snipps from the camera and post very quick. Charging was very quick! You also mention "statistics" show most people are watching youtube and social media on TV's now? Who are those people? Also not sure your footage had crazy lens flare in it thay i have not experienced... I did get the insta 360 x4, and recommend for travel, or families as its great for non pros.

Don’t know what he’s talking about.like he said in the beginning I was even paying attention

Thanks heaps for your candid review mate.. I am buying one today for my R6

good video

As many of the other comments are saying - you CAN export 4K reframed. The reason this is good option as action camera is you can reframe after the event - that is the whole point. I really think you’re missing a trick here 😢

Are you on insta360 studio 5.0x? I have 4k export, 3840x2160. I'm not sure where you get 1440.

Nice review. I had an X3, and I returned it because of the poor video quality and occasional freezing. The editing process would also take a lot more time. This camera is definitely an upgrade over X3, but I think these cameras need to improve more their image quality and I might wait for the next generation. Hopefully, they will improve the sensor, the lens, and the chip. The Insta360 studio is also clanky and has very limited functionality. They slightly improved it from last year's version, but it still has a long way to go. I think it will take at least one if not two generations of this camera to make it a worthwhile purchase. I also think this camera is designed as a secondary camera. I also do not like how unnatural the footage looks most of the time.
