Thanks for the review ! I would say the biggest advantage of the X4 (and even X3) is the softwares that comes with it. The camera is full of features, there is the mobile app, a more advanced desktop app, plugins for Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Resolve, etc... The mobile app is especially good, it takes a second to connect the camera and watch your clips or create an edit (you don't have to download the files, its streaming from the camera, so no waiting time). You can reframe your clips, track subjects or key frame the angle and field of view, add motion blur, (looks really good) slow motions or freeze frames... The 1-inch looks amazing tho, low light footages are way better than the Insta360
Defeinitly insta360 software is great! Luckly since the 1-inch is still an insta360 camera the software is still there just the in-built software is slightly different.
We need a 1 inch version of the x4. At the same time, use the x4 in daytime and use a Insta360 ONE R 1-inch Edition action cam in low light should do the job also. When you say the x4 has 8k video you are not lying but need to add that it is spread over the whole 360 degrees. So when using the same camera angle, they are the same.
Just a recommendation, when showing video side by side, show us the same perspective of the video as opposed to half of the frame from one camera and half from the other. It is easier to appreciate the difference in quality that way.
Thanks for the comparison. This was extremely helpful for deciding what to buy. Just a note for you when editing, Your export bitrate looks to be pretty low. If you figure out how to raise it on your editing software the output video will look alot higher res than it does currently. That little detail tripped me up for a while!
I did some tests myself with x4, trying to find out which resolution should I use, the 8K or the 5.7k@60fps. 8K does look a bit sharper, but when I zoom in a 5.7k clip to a level that is too fuzzy I would avoid using, 8K doesn't look much better at the same zoom, the improvement after crop is just marginal to me. 60fps is much more smoother and I can slow down if I need to, I guess I'll use 5.7K more.
Good review. I figured as much. Been using my one inch everywhere. The x4 would be a good buy if I ever damage or need replacement for sure, since insta360 has no plans on selling only the lens at a reasonable price. It pushes buyers to just buy the next thing. An update to use only 1 lens would be amazing also for the 1 inch, the processing times for pics are killer, granted the one inch is built from the R line, so essentially it's very 'old' tech in terms of insta 360 lifespan in general.
The only feature that the X4 has that I wish the 1 inch had was being water proof to 30 feet. I love my One RS 1", the night time video of the London New Years fireworks show came out awesome.
Thanks, glad you liked it! I typically just use NCS music but lately I've been using the updated youtube audio library. Occasionally I also use other websites like tunetank but that often requires getting the claim removed after being put under copyright.
