9 powerful Insta360 X4 ideas

0:00 Intro
The Insta360 X4 is finally here and believe me, it will set a new milestone in the world of 360-action cameras. With the highest resolution ever, the Insta360 X4 sets new standards with 8K/ 30fps crystal clear 360-video recording. High frame rates from 60fps up to 240fps, 72MP 360-photos, 11K timelapse, improved reframing options and so much more, make the Insta360 X4 by far the best 360-action camera currently available on the market.

1:44 Next Level 360-Shots
This is a demonstration, why the Insta360 X4 is the most powerful 360-action camera on the market. In my opinion, the most impressive feature of the X4 is the ability to record 360 videos in a 8K resolution with 30fps. This gives you approx. 80% more pixels than the Insta360 X3, which is clearly recognizable in the image quality. All the 360-camera advantages, such as perfect flowstate image stabilization, the possibility of creative reframing and the invisible selfie stick, combined with an ultra-sharp, clear image make the Insta360 X4 the most powerful 360-action camera available today!

2:45 Splash Transition
Of course, the Insta360 X4 is waterproof even without a underwater-case. So, it is not a problem if the camera gets splashed or wet. Even diving the X4 under water is no problem. To create the splash transition, create a first Shot where water is splashed onto the X4. Do the same in a second shot but a different location. Set the cut exactly where the water hits the lens.

4:26 Ultra wide angle Shot
Here the 360-video footage of the X4 is reframed, so that almost the entire surrounding is packed into the frame. To do this, open your 360-recording in Insta360 Studio and select the "Tiny Planet" option. To get an ultra wide angle shot, change the "tilt angle" to 0. As the tilt axis is now exactly horizontal, the image looks more natural than the tiny planet option and you still have almost the entire landscape in one image.

6:07 SloMo Pet Shots
The X4 has not only been updated in terms of resolution, higher frame rates are now also possible. For example, you can now record 5.7K 360 videos with 60fps or 4K 360-videos with 100fps. One creative use of these SloMo 360-videos are low-ground pet recordings. Simply select 4K/ 100fps in the standard video mode and guide your Insta360 X4 just above the ground and let your dog or cat run along.

7:15 Landscape Switch
Thanks to the Invisible Selfie Stick, it looks like a mini drone is always spinning around you. To achieve the "landscape switch effect", record several 360-videos at different places with the selfie stick fully extended and slowly rotate in one direction. The result is a nice looking seamless “landscape switch” effect. Try it out for yourself and fascinate your viewers!

9:16 Next Level Bullet Time Shots
The bullet time mode also received a major update in terms of frame rate and resolution. This means the Insta360 X4 can now create bullet time shots with 5.7K/ 120fps and 3K/ 240fps.
For the best results, I recommend you setting it to 5.7K/ 120fps and using your Insta360 X4 in combination with the Bullet time bundle. Included in the bundle is the "bullet time" handle, where you can screw on the invisible selfie stick. You can then pull it out and let the X4 rotate over your head.

10:22 Ground Pull Transition
At the beginning, guide the Insta360 X4 just above the ground and then pull up. Stay up for a short time and then move it down again. You perform a kind of a wave movement. Do this in different environments. Start with the first clip and set a cut when the perspective is directed to the ground. The second clip starts there. And this is the final “ground Pull” transition!

12:31 Catch Transition
This trick is very easy. Simply put your Insta360 X4 in your mouth and pick up an object. Then throw it into the air and catch it again. Do exactly the same in different locations. In Insta360 Studio, reframe the shot so that the object is always in the centre of the picture.
Set a cut exactly where you catch the object. Then continue with the next Clip.

13:41 Me-Mode SloMo Run
The “Me-Mode” on the Insta360 X4 has also received a huge improvement. Now you can record 4K 60fps or 2.7K recordings with up to 120fps. The 120fps are especially interesting for super slow motion shots. Simply turn on "Me Mode" on your X4, extend the selfie stick and start running.

I've realized that the X3 is more than good enough. What really counts is creativity, and that's where Gimbal Guru steps in with ideas to boost mine. 😊

That ravine / gorge at 4:40 must be Liechtensteinklamm. I've been there once, it's absolutely breathtaking. Austria never ceases to amaze me.

[yannguerin]

nice video, but id just like to point out, these are just transition ideas, you don't need an Insta360 X4 to do these except maybe 2 of them

[Einfachweil_]

Loved that most of your video was shot in Mauritius! 😂 My third trip to this amazing island is coming up, and i’m looking for more ideas on what i can do with the X4. Thanks for the video, there were some awesome suggestions in there

[MilanEmaj]

Are you using the extended invisible selfie stick? Is that necessary to get the ultra-wide/drone-style shot?

[PublishInc]

Do I have to worry about the overexposure when shooting in daylight especially indoors? I want my shots or videos to look like as if I were there in-person.

I had an insta360 x2 camera, and there were protective lenses that were glued, and since I often ride a wakeboard, there was no problem riding over water, then diving in and she continues to shoot, and I'm not worried about the safety of the original glass. Now I have an x4 and water is passing through the glass.what to do? when I take off the lenses, I will worry about the original glasses. And the divecase is very big and then it takes a bad video.Why didn't you make the protective lenses waterproof?

What version of insta 360 studio is that? I just updated mine to 5.4.6 beta 1 and when I add keyframe I have only 5 options crystal ball, tiny planet, mega, ultra i dewarp and on your video there is 9 options

[Itellthetruth]

amazing image quality, this is the major upgrade I've always been waiting for my x3 and it finally comes. selling my x3 for the x4

[patrykgrzyb]

can you charge insta360 using power-bank with usb-c at the same time you are recording 8k ?

[stefbetable]

why don't I see the "natural view" in my Insta360 Studio? I have version 5.2.2 and Insta x4

[MassimoRuggiero]

are all these ideas possible to post production only with the App insta360 or you must do it on Insta360 studio for pc?

[Henryjac]

I have the latest Insta360 studio on my PC, but it does not look like yours. Do you have plugins for this?

[jristravelling]

very good one mate. I'm collecting money these days to buy X4 🙂

[CitiesExplorer]

You don't have any errors when exporting?

[michu_majkel]

I dont have so many options hitting Key add frame, i have only mega, ultra, dewarp, crystal ball and tiny planet - where is naturalview etc ?

[pavelspousta]

which stick do you reccomend for the ultra wide videos?

[AlexKTraveler]

Please tell me, is it worth buying insta360 X4 if I have Kandao QooCam 8K and Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360? What can you say when comparing 8k video from these cameras, is there a big difference in picture quality?

[jottgee-youtube]

I've had the X4 since today. I would like to do this fly through effect. But when I connected the X4 to the app, I can't find the paper airplane icon anywhere. Does the effect no longer exist?

Its possible to create some effect like the speed ramp, in insta 360 studio? Like splitting last seconds on a new video and speeding that new cut?
