That drone shot of the desert is the highlight. Incredible

Kimchi in 8K? Yes please 🙌 Such a treat watching this, thanks for your review!

Hugh, You're the BEST REVIEWER of 360 cameras on Youtube. It's because your videos are NOT SPONSORED & the MOST THOROUGH on this subject. For example, in this video you cover low light situation, point out the flaw of the lens guard, compare it to Iphone 15. No other reviewer on Youtube has done that as of today April 16th, 2024. I have made the decision to film with my phone instead of buying this tool after watching your video. We need MORE REVIEWERS LIKE YOU. No wonder, you've got 190K subscribers. I want to HUG you and say THANK YOU for helping me save hundreds of dollars.

I don't think I'd ever find a more detailed review than this.. I really didn't expect that low light footage to be this crisp, thanks for showing that! this really changes everything for me lol

Thanks for the honest review. The good news is that the 30 minute time limit has been removed in X4. Hopefully an update will add it to X3 as well...

As always... best review. Thanks Profesor!

I cant wait to grab one too! Will make sure to use your link! :D

This review has everything! Thank you so much Hough!

Just wanted to highlight a feature that's truly worth mentioning – the Insta X4's ability to directly connect with the DJI Mic 2 via Bluetooth is a total win-win.

Really great content as always. Appreciate how detailed the review was. Cowboy stuff is hilarious. Waiting on the Virtual Tour video before pulling the trigger!

Excellent review. Thank you.

Fantastic review Hugh! This X4 will be on my Christmas list!

Thank you for including the detail about continuous recording rather than missing footage every 30 minutes (no one else really covered this!). That was my biggest complaint with the x3, happy to see it fixed.

Thank you for making this Hugh. You're unbiased reviews are totally worth watching.

I had no plans on getting this one, but damn it Hugh your videos always make me want to upgrade. Just got the creator bundle! Always love your content, hoping to really push this to make my videos better.

Another awesome video Hugh! I can't wait until I get mine in a few days. Question: If I bought two of these can I film VR180 like you did with the 2x insta360 go 2's? I don't know when then new Canon VR camera is gonna come out, and I want to record VR180 now. If so I would love see a video on how you would go about doing this, just like with the 2x GO 2 video. Thanks!

you do the besttttttttttt videos mannn thank so muchhh

Thank you Hugh! Just ordered one

Hi, I mainly take 360 photos to view in the Meta Guest3. The X3 resolution was not enough to enjoy it. Is the X4 better for this purpose? Did you test it ? Thanks
