Insta360 X4 Is an 8K 360 Camera That Reaches New Heights in Shooting and Editing

Insta360’s newest camera has some very impressive specifications and equally impressive features. The Insta360 X4 is the company’s latest flagship 360 camera; it offers 8K 360-degree video and 5.6K at 60 fps or 4K at 100 fps. The image quality represented in the company’s sample videos is a huge step forward.

The X4 can also be used as a traditional action camera using a single lens, providing smooth, ultra-wide 4K at 60fps.

It is the perfect time of year to get outside and enjoy the improving weather.
