is it more details or more sharpen and more saturation? :p
This video is to the point, Thank you… you just got a new like and sub.
Great review. I was going to skip this camera entirely but after I damaged my One RS 1inch, I realized I don't feel like taking my premium cam to do fun but dangerous things. 8K 360 makes a huge difference, I hated that X3 wasn't far better than X2, but X4 is worth the upgrade because the usable flat 8K 360 video output is decent 4k! On X2 and X3, it's really only low quality 2.7K* flat video. You'd take a picture from a X3/X2 video, it looked like garbage. Now, though, snapshots and photos are usable. The previous cameras interval shooting was HORRIBLE. Now, it's much improved as well, another feature I see the influences avoided reviewing for years. insta360 poisoned the HDR feature on tis camera though, I feel on purpose, to make you buy the One RS 1inch because if you can't bracket, then HDR is a waste of time. You take a picture and you can't use your camera until the camera is done processing the photo stacking the HDR itself for you. Waste of time and card space!
The X3 is ok for social media but as you said, the output was exported is not as good as advanced users would like.
can you check this Insta 360 X4 with BOYALINK, is the mic transmitter will has an effect with stitching video? thanks
hi, I don't have that mic
Great comparison Otto
Thanks
Glad you liked it!!
Otto i have pocket 3 question
Do we need to make gimbal calibration?
Every time when i am turning on camera pocket is looking into sky and i need to put 2x tap to recenter main sensor .
Also when i am moving left/right camera is askew 20 degress and i again need to recenter
It wasnt on pocket 2 never .This is only on pocket 3 now
This is a real pain in the ass and is the reason I want to get rid of my Pocket 3 Also if you want to video something high or low the gimbal wants to correct.
@@GipsyDean well still pocket 3 is 10bit picture and hdr if you know how to export
Negative is also when you are recording in strong sun you need nd filters its must have otherwise video will be absolute blow overexpose
But this oled screen is terrible i see almost nothing when recording
it's a good idea to calibrate it once in a while. Not sure why yours is facing up when you turn it on.
Dean: I had no idea that you want to get rid of the Pocket 3. I just used this camera for a personal trip and had no issues at all.
Awesome Video! Have the Gopro12 but definitely want to get the X4! 🤩🔥
The X4 is a good option. I wasn’t a huge fan of the X3 once I started to use it more, but the X4 just won a place in my travel backpack
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks for the Reply! I’m ordering now!
as always i like the clarity of your review and comparison...
Thank you so much!
Good afternoon, I've been watching your videos and I'm undecided between the osmo 3, the insta 360 x4 and an M6 gimbal with the iPhone 15 pro max, I make a lot of vertical videos for social media. I love using the iPhone in cinema mode and the stability is perfect, but I would really like to have the Osmo 3 but from what I can see it is very fragile and the stability is not very good. the 360 is brutal, even the stability is better from what it says. But later on, editing quickly can be more complicated. That's why I'm undecided
I just got my X4 and I dont know about X3, but it is super easy to edit it on your phone. And there is an AI feature to do it for you
Have you checked out the Akaso action cameras? For $100-$150 can I go wrong?
Hey Dean. I’d only do for them if your budget is too tight. You know the Action 4 has a low price of $300 right ?
I have two X3s and an X4, and hadn't noticed till now that the X3 doesn't have h265 😅 I guess that's how they stopped the overheating from which the X2 greatly suffered. 🤷♂
There is a point to the X3 if you do mostly timelapses. Or, if you need two cameras, one for video and one for timelapse. A), the X3 still does 8K timelapse, and more importantly B) it actually has better abilities for timelapse as it has much faster options, namely 0.2, 0.5 and 1s intervals which the X4 does not have - even at 8K. 🙄 And also the X3 seems to be somewhere more stable when running from a powerbank - a couple of times already my X4 has failed to charge adequately from an 18W USB-A port on a powerbank. Even though measured power draw when recording is still only 6W max.
Good information all around. I did use (although not for extended time) a fast powerbank that works with the new iPhones and I didn’t notice any problems. In my experience I’ve seen that some devices won’t charge or will charge slowly when using a charger/powerbank that actually works fine with other devices.
@@OttoJulian_ all my powerbanks have a capable USB-C port as well but I tend to favour the "dumb" USB-A (i.e. non-QC etc as well) since they are more resistant to devices' attempts to send a "I'm full, stop supplying!" message which has cost me a few captures too.
I should mention that my captures are predominantly before-sunrise till after-sunset, so no mere couple-of-hours exercise 😊
@nowandrew4442 wow yeah. I was wondering why you mentioned the usb-a in the first place but I think you have way more experience in that regard since my continuous charging/shooting has never lasted that long
The X3 still overheats frequently and easily, especially in video mode.
@@Unduplicatable I had many overheats with my X2 but can't remember it being a memorable problem on any of my 4 X3s to date.
hi sir , how are you? do you have a video of insta 360 x3 how to use in facebook live?
Hi. No I don’t
I really appreciate that your videos are not sponsored and that we get your honest opinion. That doesn't seem to be the case with many other CZcamsrs. Thank you very much for that ❤
Sure thing! Thanks!
Tnx for this video..
You are welcome!
does the accesories from the X3 are compatible with the x4?
Most of them are not
Some of them do, mostly they don't. Which ones exactly do you want to know?
I'm new to this.
Can someone tell me if the imsta360 can record front and back.
Like if I want to use it as a bike dashcam and mount it on my helmet. Can I record front and back simultaneously?
It records EVERYTHING around you. Front back left side right side up down EVERYWHERE.
When you're done recording you get to choose exactly where you want the video to focus on at any point in time.
xxxshift said it. Don’t poke your nose thinking it will not see you
@@SUPRAP2 so its normal that the screen for the x3 doesnt show the 360 view right?
@@jackpoopooit's a touch screen if you swipe around it'll show. But at any given moment it won't show the whole 360 footage while capturing.
I'm waiting for your video
hey there, just a few more days! Thank you ;)
Hablas tan claro y tan preciso que yo no siendo hablador de inglés te entiendo.
Excelente. Muchas gracias!!!
The X5 is gonna be a game changer with 12k video. =)
We’ll have to wait until next year I guess. For now, the X4 will be the best option
@@OttoJulian_ hope you make an X5 video for launch spring 2026. =)
I guess they release new version every 2years
@@nandysullivan3005 X4 took about 1 year and a half to come out after the X3
The x5 ain't shit compared to the x12 with 50k video in 7 years 😂😂🎉
Can you make a comparison of underwater video without using dive case for X3 and X4?
Will try to. I might be moving out from the X3 in a very short term
nice reviews
Thanks!
My friend sell me the X3 for $250 should I buy it instead X4 with that price? Please advise. Thanks
Yes If the accessories are complete.
Not bad if it’s in good conditions. Check the state of the battery (no bumps or deformations) and most importantly take a good look at both lenses. Any visible scratch will have a negative impact in your videos
It’s just the camera with box and 128gb SD card like you buy the one the website $399. It’s a good condition. He give me a selfish stick. That its. This is my first ínta360 camera. Thanks
Use that $250 to get the x4 you won't be disappointed
@@lecarrosharde0507 I thinking about it too by watching the video the X4 vs X3 the color do look nicer.
I am in shock! Putting any 360 camera in a pocket unprotected is very risky. The lenses are so vulnerable. Anyway, thanks for posting these careful comparisons. As always, the improved resolution of the X4 is not always obvious to me when I pause the comparisons and closely examine the frame. Often, trees and distant posts look sharper on the X3. Grass is often better defined on the X4. Maybe it is simply a matter of how the AI is processing each element within the frame. Maybe sharpness is set higher on the X3 and that tricks the eye. But overall picture quality of the X4 is better, I agree. And its feature set is superior. Audio is markedly superior. But I am still unsure about the upgrade. Ultimately it is of course a personal thing.
I thought the same thing when he put the cameras in his pocket. I'm so protective of my cameras.
I'm struggling trying to decide if I want to upgrade or not. I have an X3 and an Ace Pro.
Hey Peter! Agreed! You had me giggling about the lens inside the pocket. I don't use carry them around like that but it was more of a demonstration of how small they can be, don't worry, I'd never advice to do such thing and no lens was harmed during the production of this video :) Just a quick note, sharpness was set to low on both devices and I apply some of it on Premiere Pro to compensate. You are also right, same sharpness doesn't mean that they are processing it the same way. Yeah Audio was a big surprise (I knew the X4 had a good mic but side by side you can tell a big difference)
Thank you Otto
Thanks! You are welcome!
Can the screen be cut off while recording to conserve battery?
Think x3 can if i remember. Not happy new 1 is heavier and bigger
yes you can select a self timer to turn off
I didn't get the X3 but now I debating should I get the X4 because I had Insta360 Ace Pro and Go3. The X4 low light is not so good as I been watching X4 video from everybody. Should I wait the next one come out with low light improve. Thanks anybody.
indeed, low light is not so good, and the X4 should not be bought if that is important for you. The X4 main advantage is the 360 recording and the ability to shoot first and frame later. If you don't care about that then it's really not worth the investment
Hi, Can we use X3 invisible selfie stick with X4?
Hi. Yeah you can
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks 👍
Nice video
You are welcome!
Is there a difference in the quality of the 360° image taken from the Insta 360 x3 camera and the Insta 360 x4 camera?
I have insta 360 x3..and I only care about 360° photography
there is a difference but honestly it's not huge.
@@OttoJulian_
Thank you
If I turn on the defroster cold air to max speed my X3 will still overheat in the window on a 38-60 degree (Fahrenheit) day. Even if it's really cold out, I still can't trust it to not overheat. I basically can't use the HD video option at all, only regular video, but regular video still overheats so I'm stuck to the Timewarp or whatever it's called.
Did Insta 360 ask you to say the video is not sponsored? other reviewers have said insta 360 are asking reviewers to say the video is NOT sponsored when it is.
No, they have never asked me to say such thing and I would say no if they ever did. Nothing that was said in this video was on behalf of them
Ill keep using my X3 for now, until the release of a 1” sensor X5 or X6😂
Yeah that’s a good idea too. I bet if Insta360 had changed the sensor more people would buy the X4
@@OttoJulian_ your right Julian, its not much of an upgrade if I’m only banking on resolution and for me the pocket 3 is my heavy use pocket camera for programs, events and vacations..
@camilo8cheryl if you have the Pocket 3 as well that changes your whole panorama. Yeah, I think you are making a smart move
😊😊😊
😊😊😊
Thank you all!
👍
Thanks!
I don't care about 8K. I care about bitrate! 😁
true, then get the X4
would you like to review our drone?
To reach out you need to send me a message on instagram @ottojulian_
Upload new video
editing a new one
wait for x5
12K resolution maybe? :)
This video is not needed, we want X4 compare to X2.
Im really not trying to pick a fight, and I’m not the hoarder type of person, but when something doesn’t fit my style or if something better comes out I’ll get rid of the old stuff. With that being said, I love my Pocket 3 but I still kept the Pocket 2, but when the X3 came out, the X2 was a big paperclip for me doing nothing so I sold it. There is nothing that the X2 can do against the X4, except for the price if someone is thinking to buy it. It’s my opinion and some people won’t agree, but as soon as I read this I went ahead to look at my older X2 files and had a good laugh. Good back then, but not anymore by current standards
😄 peace. Anyway, even if I wanted to I don’t have the X2 anymore
