Kimchi in 8K? Yes please š 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 204K subscribers. I want to HUG you and say THANK YOU for helping me save hundreds of dollars.
-
I cant wait to grab one too! Will make sure to use your link! :D
-
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
-
That drone shot of the desert is the highlight. Incredible
-
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!
-
This review has everything! Thank you so much Hough!
-
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!
-
Great for daylight shooting... for night time videos... it sucks.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Fantastic review Hugh! This X4 will be on my Christmas list!
-
Hi Hugh! Thank you for making this video š Which one has better image quality HDR for virtual tours, X4 or One RS 1 inch?
-
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
-
Thank you for making this Hugh. You're unbiased reviews are totally worth watching.
-
Thank you so much you are THE man. Such a detailed review with personal style and still being objective. And all the results comparison OMG! If there is only 1 guy to trust in this field itās definitely you šš¼
-
Thanks Hugh. The amount of time and effort you put into your videos is really second to none! One thing I am wondering is how the X4 compares to the Pro 2?
-
Was waiting to get the Canon 8K 3D 360 camera but since there are some events coming up soon to take videos off, I decided to get the X4. Seams like a lot of people are in the same boat who's wanting to buy either the Qoocam 3 ultra or the Canon 3D 360 camera. Perfect timing for Insta360 to release this camera before the other 2.
