Absolutely superb review David. Been thinking about one of these for a while now. Looks very good.😎👍🏻 But you need to get going mate, at 8:08 that dog is leaving you for dead!🐾😁

@sanestflexican Ай бұрын

lovely review mate, will get one!

@LukeRichardson1981 Ай бұрын

Been thinking about getting an action cam for a long time. Will be heading to do some riding in the Canadian Rockies this summer, and I might have to consider picking up one of these before I go, because I can just imagine how good the pictures / video I could get with something like this would be.

What was the make and model of the mountain bike in this video ?

@devilmaycry383 3 күн бұрын

Haven't upgraded from my Go Pro Hero 4 action camera until now as i bought the insta360 X4 since i have always been interested in the 360 camera. Be good for my holiday trips and motorcycle videos.

Do you know what mount we can use for an aero road type of bike

@HerminioGonzalezHerm Ай бұрын

How do you mount the camera on your road bike? I have flat aero bars. Do they sell a mounting kit? I want that out front 3rd person look

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

They sell a bike mounting kit which goes in the stem top cap

@JAB-jp6le 29 күн бұрын

Dont use the MTB kit. Get an out-front computer mount that has a gopro-esque three-prong attachment on the bottom. Then all you need is a 3-prong insta360 adapter. Looks less ridiculous than having a windwill on top of your stem.

@frasermorrison2520 Ай бұрын

Goos sharing. I have x3 and now x4. This is a game changer.

@davidkendall4588 Ай бұрын

Nice...I've been looking for a camera to capture the difference between men's awareness and women's awareness when you pass them on a trail. This might be the one.

At 6:41...How do you sync apple data? Is that just a feature in the insta360 desktop editor?

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

No it works on the app, just click on stats and then choose Apple

@Rich_Mitch_Creative Ай бұрын

With the single lens mode looking as good as it does. Does this mean that the X4 is a better option than the Ace Pro? Be great to hear your thoughts on how they compare (360 filming aside) as I have been considering the Ace Pro, but this does look a more versatile option. Thanks Dave!

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

Good question Rich, I'll do a more detailed comparison for you when I'm home from travelling. If I wasn't interested in the 360 I would shoot for the Ace Pro

@Rich_Mitch_Creative Ай бұрын

@@davidarthur Perfect, thanks Dave. Can't wait to see a full comparison video. All the best pal.

@bikingdisciple Ай бұрын

Great vid! Is the main lens cover replaceable? I think that is a major design flaw of previous ones. Yeah, you can use lens protector but that has less quality and lens flare in previous ones.

@cow77cow Ай бұрын

Yes replaceable easy, and no real picture degradation. Someone did a video on this yesterday. There is two lens protector, the normal and the premium, but the normal looks better. But the premium more resistant.

Hi great videos Dave love you our content. When did you get the bike stem mount please ???

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

The stem mount is new and only arrived a week ago

@woodycarr Ай бұрын

Good review, thanks! That's a cool looking mount at 7:54. Do you have link or product info about it?

@forcebio Ай бұрын

Yes, interested too by this mount system ! Ref please ?

@phil_d Ай бұрын

Do you lose all your settings if you drop out a dead battery for a new one if you happen to be on a long ride?

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

Nope the settings are not changed

@phil_d Ай бұрын

@addiecusack1530 Ай бұрын

I have a x2 but would love an upgrade but I don’t think they do trade ins in the uk ??? Any thoughts ?

@NJtoAzMountainBiker Ай бұрын

It is the same as the X3. Just software revision makes it 8k. Still the same 1/2” sensor.

Great review David. Excuse the unrelated question, but I like your red jacket! Which one is it please?! 😃

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

It’s a Castelli GTX jacket

@glenmcd Ай бұрын

Never bought a GoPro but I would seriously consider one of these for ebike dashcam

@ShebanFPV Ай бұрын

Is the lens replaceable?

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

I don't think so that's why it's best to use the new lens guard

@stefantrost1988 Ай бұрын

The insta is a nice tool. But its just too heavy for roadie…😢

@JAB-jp6le 29 күн бұрын

I hope the Tour de France goes well for you this year if you're worried about 200 grams.

@JAB-jp6le 29 күн бұрын

It gets better! You use a Virb in all your videos. Which weighs 177g... So you are actually complaining about 30 grams, which is right over a tablespoon of salt. I love the internet.

@-Steve-01 Ай бұрын

A sponsored, 'honest' review, lacking any critical element whatsoever.... how could that be ;). the 360 cams are useful tools but not without a lot of drawbacks, including the form factor, weight, fragility of lenses, and having to use the awful insta software before you can edit (unless you use premier). No way I'd bother upgrading my X3 to an X4.

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

The X4 quality is so much better than the X3 and actually makes it usable for videos I make for the first time. The lens guard also fixes the lens issue and the form factor and weight, will smaller lighter is always better but that’s just how it is - still fits in a jersey pocket nicely

@liam_c27 Ай бұрын

How can a video be sponsored and views still be your own 🤔

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

Because they have no input in my video content, I’m not told what to say etc

@bernieclapcott9749 Ай бұрын

Exactly right. If the video has been “sponsored”, it’s been paid for by insta360 and is therefore an advertisement, not a review. I guarantee that if David said the camera was crap compared to a GoPro, his “sponsors” would soon dry up.

@frasermorrison2520 Ай бұрын

It’s pretty obvious.

@denishazonfcpx3022 Ай бұрын

Looks like you peddling sideways …sounds like you shouting up insta butt Insta a will give best reviews send camera over ….views are my own …you can see the stick in the sun so the hiding the stick is still there …but take no notice me ,cool video on how to use it ,footage looks 1080p to me ,the stick extends that long you said how long is that ,give the other cameras away to your subscribers,good idea ….Just ride bikes nice video 👌

@derekim75 Ай бұрын

good for a short rides..........

@davidarthur Ай бұрын

you've tested it then? with two batteries and a 512gb card it goes all day, more than enough footage to spend days editing anyway! I tend to do short clips, couple of minutes at a time, and this way it lasts ages
