what makes it brutally honest? im not trying to be coy is that a way to get more views out of the algorithm or something?

[JeshuaGuy-wcuy]

Actually you can just lock the perspective in the settings or controls to the video so you don't have to reframe every few seconds 🤷🏻‍♂️ it's what I do for my 360 skating POVs

okay so dji osmo action 4 adventure combo and insta 360 x4 which one you will suggest

[TechWithoutTheCo]

I just got mine delivered this morning and have only played around with it in my backyard. You mentioned having to do a lot of post-processing when going through 360 footage. Not to parrot Insta360's overuse of "AI" but I will say the tracking features in the app are pretty impressive and were much smoother than I could get with manually adding keyframes. I noticed you didn't mention the app too much though and might be trying to avoid relying on it, so I get it.

Glad you talked about the issue with the zooming in and video quality.

Im happy to find your review. Most of the reviews I've seen so far are super negative, or super positive to unfair degrees. Your perspective balances out the information I've seen so far . Thank You !

Good review, the DJI Mic2 even though it's bluetooth, it works perfect and the sound quality is excellent, surprisingly for BT. With the DJI Mic 2, I find that if I want the best audio, I just record on the mic 2 internally and sync post. I'm not a big fan of having things sticking out of my camera like adapters and such, I'm a fumbling idiot and with my luck, it will likely get damaged. The nice thing about the Mic 2 is that you can use it within a dive housing which I always have on not only while diving but just on the beach, salt water is the devil! lol

Hi Nick! Great video! i had a question on the insta360x4. did you have issues exporting videos on the app, saying your device didnt have enough space, when it did? or playing videos back in memode on the app? my just play back all black

[RussSweet]

Editing the 360 footy is such a drag haha

[MarcRitzMD]

I wanted to vomit when you showed the 360 footage only to realize that YouTube pulled the quality down to 360p. Maxed it out and it's actually beautiful footage

[JesusGringo]

Don’t listen to anyone who moto vlogs with single lens mode. You literally never know where the real action will be when you’re riding around. You will miss so much good stuff recording in single lens mode.

i'm curious how it looks in my meta quest 2. the X3 is kinda blurry

[utubesgreatme]

If scuba diving is your thing don’t buy the X4.
The X4 has a dive case preset which has 8K video. Today I wanted to try my new dive case during a snorkel. I was surprised that it stopped because of ‘over heating’. Or so it notified. Very frustrating for sure. I suspect this overheating problem will be ironed out in the X5.

Use a DJI mic 2 over bluetooth? That's my plan for mic setup

[TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

I'd be interested in what sort of real resolution you reckon u get in me mode. As you point out, once you crop an 8k 360 video into 170x120 degree action camera type field of view your not getting anything like 4k, more like 2k. If the fov in me mode is much the same that's got to be 2k too surely, even if it's telling you it's 4k.

How to get best quality when uploading on social media? And where can i store my files like in i cloud?

[RichardBell-yqyc]

Did you know if you have the Rode wireless Pro microphone you have the option to use either the 3.5mm jacks or the USB-C ...

[commissionhunter]

I saw Best Buy is finally getting premium lens soon.... I shoot with protectors on cause im overly cautious lol
so hopefully the upgrade will help quality.

[A-Viking]

How big are the biggest files you got from the X4?

i would like to run it with a powered selfiestick for up to 4 hours roadtrip with the gps data in 1 file instead of many 30min, like on my X3.

Tnx.
