The New Insta360 X4 Fixes The Biggest Issues With 360 For Bikers 

I wonder how many of those EPIC MOTORCYCLE SHOTS - got a pebble kicked up into the lens and now require a $99 repair - FROM CHINA - with a 8 WEEK turnaround - if - you hear from customer service within 2 weeks of your initial email - which you wont. MAN - SO EPIC!

@@PiecesofVinyl Lens guards. Watch the video.

The biggest problem for motorcyclists isn’t actually mentioned in this video! Does the X4 pause recording every half an hour for 30 seconds? This happens with the X3 and makes that camera far less powerful for RU-vid

Can I record while charging though? If I am charging it off my bike?

Have you found out? ​@@mototoki

Apart from the different lens view (normal vs 360) do you find the video quality better on the 360 over the GoPro if you're honest ? If you were to shoot using single lens mode would it look better and sharper than the normal GoPro footage ?

NO, not possible with 360. We have the X3, GoPro, Action 4, DJI drones. Everything DJI is better@@brianmagicman3556 Everything beyond 3 ft. from 360 lens is terrible. Notice the 360 images all look very bad except close up objects

Yea, it’s called an NDA. They have a specific time frame on when they can publish anything about the camera.

Embargo... Not NDA

@@gsrox2007 An embargo is an NDA with an expiration date

@@gsrox2007 it's still an NDA, just technically called a video feature embargo.

It’s a paid promo

Thanks man!

You can

Get Telemetry Overlay. It works with everything that records GPS including Insta360, GoPro, DJI. Since Garmin dropped Virb and GoPro discontinued including the GPS chip after Hero 11, we need to get the branded remotes with GPS. (In some cases I use telemetry (gpx file) from my Garmin Montana. The software allows muliple telemetry sources and syncs to video.) However, DJI Mavic series still includes GPS data in the SRT file. Price is $150 . A bargin for what the software can do. Constant upgrades. Juan responds quickly to even silly questions. Ride on.

Yes, I have a playlist on my channel for all my Insta360 videos

@@ChaosCauses yeah... next time ill first check, than ill comment xD

I would like to film karting with speed overlay

I’d love to know the answer to this too! Given the title I would have expected this to be the first issue for considering

Not as good as Ace Pro in low light but greatly improved from X3. 8K is about 1.5GB per minute

@@ChaosCauses Thanks for the info, and OUCH, that's huge. #ThatsWhat_SHE_Said

I saw the same glaring in another review. I guess it is lens guard problem.

Good shout and also if you watch it again and pause the video at 4.16, the buildings in the background look clearer/more detailed on the x3 and also the body of the bike and the side mirror also looks clearer on the x3 and if you look at him in both shots, he looks more blurry on the x4, and that's WITH the lens guards on The question is, are those lens guards in that particular shot the plastic ones that come with the x4 or the premium ones made of glass? If it's the latter, that's very bad quality bit I can't say because I don't. Know which ones were used Overall the x4 quality beats the x3 regardless so any improvement is better than no improvement at all

I wish they would make cameras that can be used to continually record, in case you get into an accident

@@nerychristian they have a loop recording feature to record like dashcams

@@preshmuhu3664 Hopefully with A.I. technology, they can create a camera that only records when it detects a possible collision is imminent

@nerychristian they exist, they are called dash cams 🤣

Maybe you get some luck in the used market from people that have a working X3 but want to upgrade to the X4

should i buy x3 then way cheaper ?

@@1DN5UP I got the x4 and if you don’t need 8k id get the x3 any day. They may fix the stitching on the x4? But if media not talking about it probably not.

I have preferred a 1 inch sensor. That’s why when I purchased the X3, I quickly returned it and went with a RS 1 inch.

Didn't have a single issue with that. But 90% of my shots were riding which would obviously help with cooling.

on I don't think they have any file length limitation, not on my Ace Pro at least

Why ?

@@JinSakai_Kuroudo because.

I can’t find out either

@@mototoki it can. I bought it and can confirm.

@@michaelvarney. thanks buddy 👍

No, it needed to be bigger for 8K power draw

My understanding is that it DOES NOT.

Replaceable lens covers though. So.. eh.

@MotoDash1100 no way!? let me just throw my x3 out just because they made a glass protector... look how awful that thing looks with it on. 😄

Same here…

Never had that happen once in 4 years on any of their cameras.

@@ChaosCauses in 1080 P you’re fine but shooting and 360 all the time it started overheating I don’t know maybe there was an issue with mine. I have the original one that had 360 mode

Completely different cameras for different purposes

All x4 videos are ads. I am just searching night footage and non of you tubers are showing 😂😂

That's not how this works, not with cameras or with tvs/monitors. For instance, take 4 30" 4k tvs and mount them in a 2x2 grid and you would have a 60" 8k tv. Does that make more seems to you now? 8k isn't twice the resolution of 4k, it's actually twice both in height and width.

the X4 is still a superior product in terms of resolution thou compared to the X3.

​@Gixxer360 tbh i didn't see a difference When watching the side by side. I did watch it on my samsung tab s7 plus which doesn't display 4k so maybe that's it but I didn't see a difference

Of course, it's better, but how much better is it for everyday use? No one needs more than 4k. It takes up too much space, and honestly, despite all the hype online, 2k is enough. Even 1080p is enough for most people. Where are you going to store all those 4k, 5k, 8k videos?

@@naemanmalik6107 the 8k resolution is for the full 360 view, when you reframe it will be 2.7k, on x3 the 5.7k 360 view will be 1080p after reframing
