Lightweight, robust and ready for any adventure
At just 165 grams, the Insta360 X4 Air is the lightest 8K 360° camera the company has ever developed. Despite its light weight, it does not sacrifice professional performance: two 1/1.8-inch sensors ensure a 134% larger pixel area per image compared to the previous model and deliver razor-sharp 8K images with natural colors.
Thanks to the new AdaptiveTone algorithm, the camera analyzes both lenses individually to balance brightness and color across the entire image area. Active HDR supports this process and enables realistic highlights and shadows – even in difficult lighting conditions. There is also a portrait mode that automatically optimizes faces and delivers natural skin tones without post-processing.
In terms of robustness, the X4 Air scores points with replaceable, scratch-resistant lenses and water resistance to a depth of 15 meters. This makes it equally suitable for hiking, underwater photography and street adventures. FlowState stabilization and 360° horizon lock ensure butter-smooth shots, whatever the situation.
Flexible creativity and intuitive control
The X4 Air doesn’t just want to record content – it wants to tell stories. With the invisible selfie stick, spectacular 360° shots and dynamic drone perspectives can be created without any additional equipment. InstaFrame mode allows you to record a flat 4K video and a full 360° version at the same time – ideal for creators who want to post immediately without getting lost in post-production.
The controls have also been simplified. With the “Rotate to shoot” mode, you can start or stop the recording by moving the selfie stick. Gesture and voice control allow hands-free filming – whether you’re skiing, mountain biking or taking group shots. The clear, responsive operation allows you to concentrate fully on the moment while the camera takes care of the rest.
Fast editing and intelligent networking
The Insta360 app offers AI-powered tools such as Auto Edit, FlashCut and AI Frame, which transform raw footage into dynamic, finished clips in seconds. Perspectives can be automatically aligned and music synchronized so that hardly any post-production is required.
Thanks to seamless integration with Apple, Garmin and HUAWEI, GPS, movement and performance data are embedded directly into the videos. This opens up completely new possibilities for athletes and travelers who want to visually document their activities. Recordings can be automatically saved, edited and shared via the Insta360+ cloud service. The one-year free subscription with 200 GB of storage space ideally complements the overall package.
Conclusion
With the Insta360 X4 Air, the manufacturer is once again setting new standards for mobile 360° cameras. It combines impressive performance, extreme compactness and smart AI functions to create a flexible tool for creative minds. From October 28, it will be available in graphite black and polar white – as a standard bundle for €329 and as a starter bundle with accessories for €399. Buyers will also receive one year of Insta360+ cloud storage for free – an attractive overall package for anyone who wants to tell their stories in 8K.
