360 camera designed for immersive adventure footage, capable of high-resolution 8K and 5.7K60fps capture. Insta360 X4 Action Camera helps creators reframe scenes and produce polished clips with AI-powered editing, so complex shots feel straightforward. Does the balance of stabilisation, battery life and ruggedness match the needs of extended outdoor shoots?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Image Quality: 8K and 5.7K60fps 360 capture, plus 4K wide-angle options
  • Best for: Adventure creators and vloggers who want flexible reframing and steady action footage
  • Not ideal for: Users who prefer traditional single-lens framing rather than spherical footage

High-resolution 360 capture up to 8K and 5.7K60fps, with 4K wide-angle and 170° MaxView. A 2.5-inch Gorilla Glass touchscreen and upgraded 2290mAh battery support longer, rugged shooting sessions.


Reframe Footage After Shooting – Thanks to 8K 360 Capture and AI Editing

8K or 5.7K60fps spherical capture records the entire scene, allowing selection of virtual angles after recording. The AI-powered Insta360 app simplifies reframing and generates ready-to-share edits from the full 360 source.

Users can shoot freely without worrying about framing, then extract smooth, cinematic angles during editing.

Rock-Solid Stabilisation – With FlowState Stabilisation and 360° Horizon Lock

FlowState uses in-camera stabilisation algorithms to smooth movement while a 360° Horizon Lock maintains a level horizon across spherical footage. Stabilisation applies in both 360 and wide-angle modes.

Stable, level clips are achievable during running, cycling or other vigorous activity, reducing the need for gimbals.

Longer Sessions Between Charges – Thanks to Upgraded 2290mAh Battery and Fast Charging

An upgraded 2290mAh battery delivers up to 135 minutes of continuous shooting on a single charge, and fast charging reduces downtime between sessions. The runtime improvement is cited as 67% longer than the previous X3 model.

Extended shoots such as hikes or long rides can be recorded without frequent battery swaps, keeping workflow uninterrupted.
