This High-Resolution 360-Degree Camera Is Now on Sale for $140
If you’ve been thinking about upping the ante on your action or travel videos, the Insta360 X4 is now $359.99, down from its original $499.99 and the lowest price it’s reached to date, according to price trackers . That’s a major cut for a camera that PCMag calls “Outstanding” and named an Editors’ Choice for 360-degree shooting . You’re getting a major upgrade over the previous X3 , with 8K video recording, a larger screen, and better battery life all wrapped up in a rugged, waterproof body.
Insta360 hasn’t changed the formula much with the X4’s design. It’s still pocketable, still easy to hold, and still durable enough to survive a dive to 33 feet without a case. What’s new under the hood: 8K30fps 360-degree video, smoother slow-motion options, and a large 2.7-inch Gorilla Glass touchscreen that’s bright enough for outdoor shooting. There’s also Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for faster file transfers. Controls are intuitive, and pairing with the Insta360 app takes less than a minute. The app handles editing, reframing, and exporting, making it easy to turn expansive 360 footage into polished clips you can quickly share. That said, the X4 reportedly gets warm after about 30 minutes of heavy use, and while it’s powered by a larger 2,290mAh battery, you’ll likely want extra batteries if you’re shooting for extended sessions, according to this PCMag review .
In the box, you get a battery, basic protective lenses, a USB-C cable, and a case — not a ton of extras, but enough to get you started. If you plan on diving deeper than 33 feet or want more rugged lens protection, you’ll need to buy the accessories separately. There’s no HDMI output, but the USB-C port can also be used as an input for an external mic if you want better audio. Overall, if you want to shoot 360 degrees without making things complicated and don’t mind a little heat buildup over long shoots, the X4 offers high-end features for nearly $150 off right now.
