8K 360 Video That Stays Sharp Even After Reframing

The Insta360 X4 Air focuses on making 360 capture simpler and lighter while keeping the core appeal intact. It keeps the immersive 8K capability but leans into portability, faster shooting modes, and easier everyday use for creators who want results without friction.

The headline feature remains 8K 360° capture, giving footage enough resolution to reframe cleanly into standard video without falling apart. Alongside it, the added high-frame-rate single-lens modes bring more flexibility, letting users switch from immersive capture to traditional action-style shooting depending on the moment.

Better Low-Light Performance Without the Usual Tradeoffs

The move to larger sensors gives the X4 Air a noticeable boost in clarity, especially once lighting drops or scenes get more complex. Footage holds more detail and avoids the flat, noisy look that can creep into smaller action cameras. At the same time, the upgraded lens design and removable guards make it far more usable in real-world conditions, where bumps, scratches, and quick setups are part of the workflow.

Battery life stretches long enough to support extended shooting sessions without constant swaps, which fits the camera’s more casual, always-ready positioning. Stabilization remains a core strength, with FlowState and full horizon lock keeping footage steady and level even when movement gets chaotic, giving clips a clean, polished feel straight out of the camera.

The Invisible Selfie Stick Effect Still Delivers

The invisible selfie stick effect remains one of the defining features, giving shots a floating, third-person look that feels natural and dynamic without extra gear. Paired with the app’s AI reframing tools, it turns raw 360 footage into usable clips quickly, making it easy to find angles, track subjects, and shape content after the fact without a heavy editing process.

Waterproofing up to 10 meters keeps the camera ready for travel, outdoor use, and unpredictable conditions without needing extra housing. Gesture and voice controls add a layer of convenience, letting users start or stop recording without touching the camera, which fits well with action scenarios or solo shooting setups.
