The only thing I will clarify is that H.265 is more intensive on your computer not less. H.264 takes up more space but is less compressed so it doesn’t take up as much processing power to manage. The main advantage is space. H.265 fits more data in less space.

Yes, that is true, even for smartphone to handle it is quite difficult unless you have a flagship. H264 takes more space but it it demands less resources to process and it is way more compatible with devices
Great video! Thank You! Super helpful when trying make a decision!
I saw lots of video of this camera today and yea, I really think I want to buy one, but, for me insta360 Go3 still the best action cam, due it’s size, features and most important magnetics. When the camera is out of the pod I just shoot in freeframe mode and it’s amazing, the big downsize is only shoot 1440p. I’m so exited to know how it will come the new go4. I hope they include 4k in freeframe mode. 360 cameras are amazing, because when you are recording you don’t need to pay attention too much on the frame, but the downsize is it will take more work on post production.
Great video. I am loving your treatments. Thanks!

I'm glad you showed you can connect the DJI mic 2 with the Bluetooth. Does it go through Bluetooth or AirPods like it connected with the X3?
Just got my x4. It’s just awesome. Love your reviews so peaceful 🥰😍
Great vid! I’m excited to get the x4 as I’m currently using the x2! I got it mainly to shoot 360° videos for my virtual reality experiences so I’m really excited to update my game and quality.
Thanks Tamara, looking forward to see your next one. I want your take on whether is worth to upgrade from X3
a few seconds in the vid and I immediately learned the use case for this type of camera. You just made buying coffee look pretty badass.
Great vid, looks good!
Rad video. Informative & some cool shots. Thanks for the efforts.
It have a big improvement from X3, so I actually am thinking if I'm going to buy it or not now, thank you Tamara for this!
Great video! I love the vibe of your content!
Tamara, when shooting 360 in 8k, will choosing your shot in post give you 1080HD now?
fantastic, imma buy one
My favorite person again just love you
THANKS!
Thanks for the review, and I'm wondering since I have x3 and mic adapter/quick reader are they compatible with x4. They look like they are the same but just wanted to confirm. Thanks again!
Your editing is spectacular 😍

@TheoWerewolf

Good point. All the shots I've seen are in relatively bright light. The sensor size hasn't changed and Insta360 doesn't publish sensor resolutions, so it's hard to tell if this is the same sensor as the X3 with AI upscaling or actually a higher resolution sensor - in which case, smaller pixels and worse low light performance.
Great video like always tamara, please put in more audio samples with the DJI mic in the next coming videos! 💯
Wow the deep track feature looks incredible!
Tamara.. please do a more challenging lightning condition test between outdoor and indoor and lower light indoor scenario. Thanks as always!
When will Freewell release the anamorphic filter with 128ND and 256ND for Pocket3?
Awesome video!! 🎉 Thx!!
Can you confirm if the external mic adapter outputs stereo sound? Previous adapters were all mono and never liked the sound quality using my Rode Wireless Go
Tip top review as ever thanks TG. As soon as I got the email from Insta360 announcing the x4, I knew where to come for the best and most concise review. I’m looking forward to the comparison between the X3 and X4 👍

Does the Dji mic 2 work with Bluetooth on?
I am going to do a thru hike with my daughter in Spain. I was thinking of purchasing a DJI Action 4 to take along with us. Now I’m wondering if I would be better off with this? I don’t care for the distorted appearance, does the Me mode get rid of that? What is your opinion? Which would you take?
@SincerelyVegas

For sure the X4, actually DJI (outside of drones of course) and Go Pro really can’t compete with insta360. The distortion you can easily fix in post in seconds in the insta360studio.

The X4 with the Mic 2... ache in the wallet stuff! But first I will check out your X3 X4 comparison. In real world situations is the X4 that much better resolutionwise?
I have the X2 and love it except for that little round screen. I like that they added the snap on lens cover. I have the stick on. It works great but this will be better. I may pick this one up due to the resolution increase. I use mine to record motorcycle rides. It is great for that. Will keep the X2 as a second camera on the bike.
great content!
The only thing I would be interested in is the Lens guard. KZread is not pushing 8k yet. But I love the video very informative. I sub by the way beautiful😉
How is it in single camera mode? If you dont use the 360 feature, does it work well as a regular action cam? Or should i get a regular action cam?
Your video was super cool. 😎
dreaming to have one…in my dreams 😊
Beautiful now I can get the X3 4K, awesome! where are the discounts?
How is night shooting. Looks like all you tubers are asked not to talk about it. Is there any ways to remove shadows of selfie stick
Hey I'm about to buy the X4 camera is that your affiliate link in the description? I noticed other creators said they were sponsored but you didn't so if it's not an affiliate link I'll use another creators so they can get paid from the purchase
Man, I just wish they’d use the technology they have to remove the selfie stick to remove the SHADOW of the selfie stick too.

The X4 will take more effort to edit if you use it in 360 but you have a lot of flexibility because of the reframing aspect. It will depend on your workflow and what you want it for.

Yep, via Bluetooth.
I’m on the fence about about upgrading my X3… I’m still using my Osmo pocket 3 like crazy. I love that camera! However, I do like the fact that the new X4 has 8K 30. I own a real estate media company in San Antonio. (aka Military City) I often times cannot get clearance to fly my drone due to military exercises and fly zones… So being able to shoot in 8k for those fake drone shots may just be worth the upgrade. I think I’ve talked myself into it. 😂
Nice vidéo 👍🏻,
Honestly, I didn't upgrade to the X3 because after looking at the specs, other than H.246 I wouldn't really gain anything else of use to me. Naturally as soon as the X4 came out, I went here to see what you had to say about it. Now, I'm rather astonished that Insta still does not have a way to record external _stereo_ audio. The Pocket 3 is on another planet with audio compared to this. Those adaptors are all mono, and apparently it can only source one Bluetooth mic at a time. I really wonder if plugging the Mic 2 RX into the USB-C port will record stereo.... At least one can use the individually recorded tracks from the external mics but that would require one to first do the reframed editing in the Insta360 app, export that video and use it as a media clip in another editor that allows adding audio tracks. Good thing I'm an actual mixing and mastering engineer!
for full stick invisibility will you have to turn away from the sun so that it doesn't cast a shadow?
@TamaraGabrielUK
2 ай бұрын
If you do that you'll be filming with the sun behind you, which for cameras with little sensors isn't ideal for the quality of the footage.
It's wonderful to see a woman who doesn't describe what she pairs a white shirt with 5 days of the week, but professionally and clearly explains technology. A real enrichment alongside the army of white old men on KZread. More women! Keep it up!
I was about to pull the trigger on the pocket 3, and now I'm stuck again. They're both great id say, and both would work for what i intend to use them for, a mix of vlog and pov photo walks... Any advice that could unstuck me?

Yes - the Insta360 x4 has a removable battery which means the overall life of the product isn't connected to the overall life of a recharable battery...it also means you can easily have another battery and keep on going all day. The Pocket 3 is more fragile - the Insta360 gives you so much more possible footage...
@TamaraGabrielUK

But you also have to bear in mind that the workflow with the X4 is longer than that of the Pocket 3 because you will need to reframe your footage when you shoot in 360, but the reframing is also the upside.

Hey. Tamara, you get 9.5 out of 10 for this video. I want to give you .5 you might get annoyed with so 9.5 it is. GREAT video! You have outstanding content.
In terms of video it looks so cool but I'm concerned about audio. To this time I wanted to find review with internal audio BUT here.... what the hell happened with audio when you transmit it via BT to Rode receiver? I also have Rode Wireless Go and audio should be quite crisp and very similar (no matter if you record internal in transmitter or on some device from receiver). Do you know why audio was so bad?
So we just have 8k now is the only difference between the x3 and x4 with minor upgrades to software/hardware.
Just tested this out at NAB. The lens guards are a problem. You can see them in your footage even with a little amount of dirt. I don’t know how to explain it but the footage is shifty and the guards stay in place. One of the employees said they need to work on that and don’t realize it does that…
How is the Insta360 X4 in low light ?
Hi Tamara, I've got an Insta 360X4 that I use it particularly for B roll. My normal editing is on CapCut but at present I am obviously editing the 360X4 footage first. I tend to edit each clip I want then export for use in CapCut. All rather tedious. Is there a better way?
@TamaraGabrielUK
Ай бұрын
Hi. Not that I’ve found. That’s currently the way I do it too when using the footage on Instagram. Otherwise, it’s the same process on desktop with the Insta360 Studio app, to reframe, export and use the footage in FCPX.

Another great video edit. Don’t think I’m sold on it. I have enough cameras now it’s getting to be ridiculous. I even have cameras and lower versions of those cameras that I can’t sell. One day we’re going to a giant back log of electronics laying in a landfill somewhere. I don’t see what benefit it would be for me to go out and spend several hundred dollars on a camera when I have a mini 4 pro drone, an iPhone with a Hohem gimbal and an action 4. Sometimes I think the only benefit is for those who review these things so they can make new videos talking about them.

Buyer beware on all these videos - this is KZreadr influencer at its HIGHEST - the embargo has lifted - there are 50 videos out there about this "ACTION CAMERA" - and what NONE OF THEM TELL YOU - is that these lenses are DELICATE - like you WILL SCRATCH the lens in snow - or on a bike trail - or a dropping it on a table - and then - it will cost (at least it did on previous models) $99 to fix it - or all your footage will have a smudge from the scratch. Also - you have to write an email to them explaining it - then wait 4 weeks for a reply - then fill out a form and pay the $99 plus shipping - to CHINA - then - wait another 4 weeks - until you get our camera back.....ALL of these videos got a FREE camera - and then went snowboarding - and if they had to pay $500 for the camera - then another $99 if they dropped it in the snow - which WILL scratch it - they would not use it. The lens guards dont work - in fact I had one scratch my actual lens when the camera hit the ground while not even snowboarding - SLEDDING on a bunny hill! BUYER BEWARE! These are just commercials for free cameras given to influencers.

Which one is better between Insta 360 X4 & the Dji Pocket 3 ?
Hu, why don't I see any mention on Utube this camera's use as a vlogging camera?😮
It's funny about the invisible selfie stick. While you talk about not being able to see him, I see his shadow on your clothes. Anyway, this "invisible" stick: I've seen so many Insta 360 videos in the last year, and since most of them are taken outside in the sunlight, the "invisible" selfie stick is a permanent visible companion, in the form of its shadow. It just looks stupid. I think the Osmo Pocket 3 is much cooler for vlogging. The fact that you're constantly scanning your surroundings front and back while vlogging with the X3 or X4 doesn't make any sense to me. Just makes me nervous and uneasy. And then we will now definitely see 1000 images of the “globe effect”, only in 8K. And still no 1inch sensor. That doesn't give good values in lowlight.
