The Insta360 X4 Pocket Camera is the company's first 8K 360° camera. The camera can record 8K video at 30 frames per second and now uses the more efficient H.265 codec (the previous Insta360 X3 camera only had H.264). The maximum bitrate for video has been increased to 200Mbps to handle the additional resolution, though.

At the same time, the camera can record 5.7K quality video at 60 frames per second (up from 30 frames per second compared to the old version) and 4K at 100 frames per second.

The camera also comes with additional improvements. For example, Me Mode will automatically stay within the frame.

Maxview mode can record video with a 170° angle, 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, up from 30 frames per second. Timelapse videos have increased resolution to 11K. These are major improvements compared to its predecessor.

The camera is extremely durable.

The Insta360 X4 camera is equipped with a 2.5-inch touch screen, protected by Gorilla Glass. The two lenses also feature removable lens protectors to prevent permanent scratches.

The internal 2,290mAh battery also helps the camera extend battery life. Specifically, Insta360 X4 can last up to 135 minutes in 5.7K video recording mode at 30 frames per second, 67% longer than the Insta360 X3 camera. Meanwhile, if recording video in 8K mode, the device can only last 75 minutes.

Basic specifications of Insta360 X4 camera.

Notably, the camera is waterproof to a depth of 10m without additional protection. Interested customers can purchase an additional Transparent Dive Case - Invisible Dive Case for better water resistance at a depth of 50m. In addition, the camera can be used in cold environments, down to -20°C to record skiing videos. Additionally, the product is quite light, weighing only 203g.

The video recording ability and durability of the device are partly thanks to the 5nm AI chip. The camera uses a ½ inch sensor, can take 72MP images (INSP and DNG formats available).

The Insta360 X4 camera is already available on the company's online store as well as retailers like Amazon. This camera costs 500 USD in the US and 560 Euro in Europe.
