Insta360 x4 review: An excellent choice if you film while riding

I’ve been reviewing Insta360 products for years and one thing the company isn’t shy about is trying new things then radically redesigning them. I’m sure not everyone loves that approach but generally the quality has only gotten better. What it’s meant for me is that at this point I have a box of accessories and cameras that all have unique uses. Our list of the best action cameras has options from Insta360 if I want to vlog, if there’s a unique angle I need, and there are even a few generations of traditional action cameras. Despite my love of those cameras though, there’s one I grab more than any other.

When I want to record myself and my adventures on a bike, it’s the Insta360 x3 that I grab over and over. Of all the cameras I have there’s none I use more but more and more, that camera is showing its age. In today’s world 4k is standard. Even silly 30 second reels need 4k resolution or they feel dated. 

The Insta360 x4 is here to save the day. This new camera from Insta360 takes everything I love about the x3 and makes it better. Since I’ve had it I’ve been playing with it just as much as the old one. In many ways that means I’ve been using it for years but there are still a few new details. Now that I’ve had a chance to understand it, I’m ready to discuss it. If you are looking for a way to record your life behind the bars, keep reading to find out if the Insta360 x4 is right for you.
