And then they tell them to not tell people that theyre sponsered so it doesnt seem sketchy

Thank you very much Very rare find a honest review from 360 x4 today Everyone are doing a paid review Not honest Thank you very much again 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼😎
Glad you talked about the issue with the zooming in and video quality.
okay so dji osmo action 4 adventure combo and insta 360 x4 which one you will suggest
Actually you can just lock the perspective in the settings or controls to the video so you don't have to reframe every few seconds 🤷🏻♂️ it's what I do for my 360 skating POVs
What soft are you using in your laptop? In studio with Adobe ísnt this enviroment
I'd be interested in what sort of real resolution you reckon u get in me mode. As you point out, once you crop an 8k 360 video into 170x120 degree action camera type field of view your not getting anything like 4k, more like 2k. If the fov in me mode is much the same that's got to be 2k too surely, even if it's telling you it's 4k.
i'm curious how it looks in my meta quest 2. the X3 is kinda blurry
Good review, the DJI Mic2 even though it's bluetooth, it works perfect and the sound quality is excellent, surprisingly for BT. With the DJI Mic 2, I find that if I want the best audio, I just record on the mic 2 internally and sync post. I'm not a big fan of having things sticking out of my camera like adapters and such, I'm a fumbling idiot and with my luck, it will likely get damaged. The nice thing about the Mic 2 is that you can use it within a dive housing which I always have on not only while diving but just on the beach, salt water is the devil! lol
Do you edit this on your iPad ?
Excellent comparison!
Im happy to find your review. Most of the reviews I've seen so far are super negative , or super positive to unfair degrees. Your perspective balances out the information I've seen so far . Thank You !
I just got mine delivered this morning and have only played around with it in my backyard. You mentioned having to do a lot of post-processing when going through 360 footage. Not to parrot Insta360's overuse of "AI" but I will say the tracking features in the app are pretty impressive and were much smoother than I could get with manually adding keyframes. I noticed you didn't mention the app too much though and might be trying to avoid relying on it, so I get it.

Would you say its worth it or maybe invest in the insta 360 ace pro?

@@simpleclipz that's an apple and pears comparison, they're both great cameras but different use cases. I've had a gopro that I helmet mount for MTB and moto stuff, if I wanted a newer and better camera for the same use case I'd do the ace pro. But I absolutely hate framing and never bring that camera out on anything except rides where it just lives in a mount. Idk if it's the novelty but I'm more encouraged to bring out the insta360 since I just press record and go about the day not worrying about pointing and framing it. I'm not distracted and messing around with a camera the whole time. Personally I'm okay with a drop in video quality, I'm only capturing memories for me and my family, not producing content, so I'm happy with this vs the ace pro.

@@TechWithoutTheCo Thank you bro its a tricky one i am leaning towards the insta 360 x4 i think. especially for when i go on holiday
Is this good for selfie photos?
I saw Best Buy is finally getting premium lens soon.... I shoot with protectors on cause im overly cautious lol so hopefully the upgrade will help quality.
Use a DJI mic 2 over bluetooth? That's my plan for mic setup
Did you know if you have the Rode wireless Pro microphone you have the option to use either the 3.5mm jacks or the USB-C ...
You can just select deep track at different parts
Very informative, compared to all the other, apparently sponsored videos out there at the moment.
How to get best quality when uploading on social media? And where can i store my files like in i cloud?
@JeshuaGuy-wc2uy

Upload to social media at 1080p with max mbps. If you're on iOS Lumafusion is a great app for that
Can you switch front to rear camera in single lense mode while recording?

It's still recording everything, you switch it during the editing phase, not while recording.
If scuba diving is your thing don’t buy the X4. The X4 has a dive case preset which has 8K video. Today I wanted to try my new dive case during a snorkel. I was surprised that it stopped because of ‘over heating’. Or so it notified. Very frustrating for sure. I suspect this overheating problem will be ironed out in the X5.
Editing the 360 footy is such a drag haha
Using a 360 camera in single lens mode is like cutting one arm off a basketball player

I know, why get this specific camera if you're going to use it the same as you would the DJI or go Pro? I'm just trying to figure out which one I should pick up for motorcycle vlogging. I like being able to have eyes all around me in case I get hit I have evidence. The DJI only records in front of me and I need to turn my head to see shit. Still undecided..
Not sure why you would buy a “360 camera” if you want to primarily use single lens??
@Unduplicatable

When you record in 360, the file size adds quickly, and considering the drop in quality is hard for someone like him to justify. Furthermore, the X3 would frequently and easily overheat in 360 mode, so you quickly become discouraged to even use 360.

So again. Why buy a 360 camera in the first place if that’s not what you want to use it for. You know what the file sizes are going to be and that they require editing. Surely and GoPro or single lens insta 360 camera is a better choice for him! Sounds to me like he doesn’t need 360!

@@everythingfelixstowevideo328 There is no “single lens insta 360 camera”. You can get a single lens camera, but the field of view will be way less than what just one lens on the Insta 360 X3 and X4 offer.

@@JesseMoto I’m in a much cooler climate and I agree, the overheating is a huge issue. That being said, if you keep it in the cab or vehicle away from direct and indirect sunlight it should be fine and not overheat, but very warm or hot ambient air could very easily lead to it overheating. Again, I’m speaking for the X3. I cannot speak for the X4, but I would imagine it isn’t any different. Honestly, a GoPro will overheat almost as easy if not easier.
Funny the video says 8k but says 1080p on the actual video
