The X4 is not just about improved resolution; it also introduces a series of AI-driven capabilities designed to enhance the user experience significantly. At the heart of the camera is a robust 5m AI chip that powers a smart control system, elevating both functionality and battery efficiency to new heights. This smart system includes advanced features like gesture control, voice command, and timed capture, making it more intuitive than ever for users to operate the camera in dynamic environments.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the X4’s high-resolution capabilities, which extend to still images with a formidable 72MP photo option. This camera is also equipped with what Insta360 calls the “Invisible Selfie Stick” effect, which captures drone-like perspectives without the need for a drone, providing breathtaking third-person views and the illusion of a floating camera.
Another significant enhancement is the X4’s rugged and waterproof design, which includes new removable lens guards and FlowState Stabilization for super smooth footage. The camera is waterproof up to 33 feet, making it ideal for all adventure settings, from surfing to snowboarding.
The battery life is notably improved. A 2290mAh battery allows up to 135 minutes of recording at 5.7K30fps, ensuring that creators have ample time to capture their adventures without frequent recharges.
Creators will also find the X4’s integration with the Insta360 app beneficial, as it provides powerful mobile editing capabilities. Users can shoot first and choose their framing later, using the app’s intuitive reframing options. The app supports automatic highlights through AI and includes unique effects like Motion ND for cinematic motion blur. Additionally, it integrates data overlays from Garmin and Apple Watch, adding detailed stats to videos for a comprehensive storytelling tool.
