The X4 transforms into a traditional action cam if necessary, with the Single Lens mode now updated to 4K at 60fps and Max view at 170°.

This set of superior features is supported by a very powerful 5nm AI chip, an intelligent control system with functions such as Voice and Gesture Control, and significantly improved battery performance that brings the battery life to 135 minutes. A variety of AI-powered shooting and editing modes make it easy to record and share unique, creative footage. The new Removable Protectors are another innovative addition, able to offer you comfortable and robust protection, but above all maximum peace of mind when shooting.

All this, in a resistant and pocket-sized device, ideal for any type of shooting, regardless of the action.
“8K will be revolutionary for any content creator, because videos after reframing will have the same quality as those shot with traditional cameras. But the X4 isn't just about image quality: it's designed to be the most rugged and easy-to-use 360 ​​camera, regardless of the user's experience level. This idea was behind many of the changes we made,” explained JK Liu, founder of Insta360.
8K third-person perspectives and high-resolution slow motion.

The 8K resolution at 30fps is the highest ever achieved by a 360° action camera! With videos like this, content creators will have the ability to choose any angle later (so-called reframing). It will be like going back in time and using the video camera to frame wherever you want! This makes the 8K resolution of the

And the updates don't end there. For action or slow motion shots, 360° videos are now available at 60fps and in 5,7K for smooth, sharp images in any circumstance. There's also a new 4K slow motion mode at 100fps for stunning matrix-style cinematic footage.
Whatever the resolution or frame rate, 360° shooting with the X4 offers unique advantages such as the Invisible Selfie Stick effect, which creates incredible third-person perspectives similar to those of a drone! This also applies to photos: the X4 is capable of taking 360MP 72° photos, now also with image noise reduction thanks to integrated AI.

With Selfie Mode, the X4 can even automatically frame the subject while keeping the selfie stick invisible. Now with incredible resolution and speed (4K at 30fps versus the 1080p of the X3) and 2,7K at 120fps, for standard videos ready to share without reframing!

2 cameras in 1.

That's right! The X4 is both a 360° video camera and a traditional wide-angle action camera. When you know exactly what you want to shoot, such as a first-person POV from the perspective of your chest, simply switch to Single Lens mode for super immersive wide-angle video.
Single Lens Mode has been enhanced for the X4 with super smooth video in 4K at 60fps, while also offering an ultra-wide 170° perspective in 4K at 30fps with MaxView.
