There’s something refreshing about the new Insta360 X4 Air. It’s compact, lighter than it looks, and — most importantly — brings full 8K 360° video to a friendlier $400 price. For a company known for pushing the boundaries of creative capture, this feels like one of its most balanced releases yet.
Small body, serious leap in quality
Under the hood, Insta360 swapped in dual 1/1.8-inch sensors, a clear step up from the smaller 1/2-inch chips in its predecessor. The difference is obvious — sharper detail, smoother shadows, better color. You can record 8K at 30fps, or switch to 6K or 4K for higher-frame-rate action scenes. Photos land at 29 MP, which is more than enough for crisp panoramas or VR shots.
What’s clever here is how close it gets to the flagship X5 in performance, while cutting the cost nearly in half. For most creators, that’s a trade-off worth making.
Design built for movement
Pick it up, and you notice the weight — or the lack of it. The X4 Air tips the scale at just 165 grams, lighter than both the X4 and X5. It also adds replaceable lenses and magnetic mounts, which make setup much quicker on bikes, helmets, or drones.
It’s even waterproof up to 15 meters on its own, or 60 meters with the optional dive case. So yes, it’s called “Air,” but it’s perfectly happy under water.
To be fair, the company didn’t reinvent everything — the battery is familiar, a 2,010 mAh cell that lasts about 88 minutes of 8K recording. Still, that’s solid endurance for something so small.
Everyday creativity, not just for pros
The X4 Air comes in Graphite Black and Arctic White, both sleek and understated. There’s even a “No Drone, No Problem” bundle with an extended selfie stick and lens cap for $506.
What makes this model special isn’t a single headline feature — it’s the combination of usability and restraint. It gives ordinary users the cinematic tools once limited to high-end rigs, and it does it without the usual learning curve or price shock.
A quick reflection
Truth is, the Insta360 X4 Air feels like the company finally hit the sweet spot between ambition and accessibility. It’s the kind of gear that inspires you to shoot more — not just test specs.
