Best Ever Image Quality
Insta360 has raised the bar with the X4’s image quality, offering the highest resolution ever seen in an action camera. The 8K resolution (7680×3840) delivers incredible clarity and detail, powered by the latest 5nm AI chip. Whether you’re filming high-speed action or scenic landscapes, every frame captures the moment with precision. From vivid colors to crisp textures, the X4 immerses you in a world of stunning visuals. The ability to relive moments in 8K feels like revisiting them for the first time, making the camera an exceptional tool for creators who demand top-notch image quality.
8K is Here!
The introduction of 8K to the world of 360-degree cameras is a game-changer. The Insta360 X4 offers 8K resolution at 30/25/24fps in 360º mode, enabling breathtaking detail in every shot. Whether you’re filming at high speeds or taking in vast landscapes, this camera allows you to capture it all in unprecedented detail. The 5nm AI chip optimizes processing power to ensure that every frame remains crystal clear, even during fast-moving scenes.
Higher Frame Rates, Higher Quality
The Insta360 X4 doesn’t stop at 8K. It supports 60fps at 5.7K and offers a 100fps mode at 4K for those who want to capture smooth, high-quality footage of fast-paced action.

For creators who want to add cinematic slow-motion effects to their footage, the 4K at 100fps mode delivers just that, capturing stunning detail even in the most intense scenes.
Impossible Third-Person Views
One of the standout features of the X4 is its Invisible Selfie Stick technology. This allows you to capture third-person shots that are virtually impossible with other action cameras.

For those who don’t have access to a drone, this feature makes the Insta360 X4 a perfect alternative for achieving aerial perspectives.
Shoot It How You See It
The Insta360 X4 comes with an Active HDR video mode designed to improve the dynamic range of your footage. This mode helps bring out more detail in the highlights and shadows, which is especially useful for action sports where lighting conditions can vary dramatically. Whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight or in the shadows, Active HDR ensures that you get a more balanced and detailed shot. The camera also maintains superb stabilization, ensuring that the final result is smooth and free of distortion, even during intense action.

Whether you’re riding on a rocky road, surfing on crashing waves, or biking down a mountain trail, the X4 handles it all with unshakable performance.
