Insta360 X4 Air — a pocket-size 8K 360 with a full arsenal of features (and just 165 g)

Small form, big picture

X4 Air captures the full 360 sphere in 8K at 30 fps—no blind spots. You reframe later in the app, picking the perfect angle after the fact. When you need a quick share, use InstaFrame: your phone instantly gets a flat clip ready to post while you simultaneously keep the full 360 recording for deeper edits later.

Image quality that pulls out the details

• Active HDR 8K/30 — balanced highlights and shadows in tough lighting.

• AdaptiveTone — automatic exposure and contrast matching between lenses.

• Dual 1/1.8" sensors, f/1.95, 6.4 mm — solid hardware for the ultra-light class.

Insta360 stabilization: smooth, level, cinematic

FlowState smooths motion by default—no tinkering needed—while 360° Horizon Lock holds the horizon rock-steady even if the camera spins all the way around. It’s that “gimbal-like” look, without the gimbal. Plus, the Invisible Selfie Stick disappears in 360 shots, giving you the iconic third-person perspective.

Audio that cuts through wind

Built-in wind-noise reduction and Voice Enhancement keep vocals clear whether you’re vlogging, biking, or on a motorcycle. Available modes include automatic/active wind reduction, stereo, and directional focus (48 kHz/16-bit AAC).

Durability and runtime

The 2010 mAh pack delivers up to ~88 min at 8K30 (lab conditions), and the body is waterproof to 15 m. Going deeper? The Invisible Dive Case supports 360 down to 60 m and corrects underwater refraction. Operating range: −20°C to 40°C.

Control — touch without touching

• Twist to Capture — double-twist the selfie stick to start/stop recording.

• Gestures — palm/“V” for photos and video.

• Voice Control 2.0 — hands-free commands at a distance.

• Remote: Insta360 remotes, Apple Watch, HUAWEI, Garmin, and more.

Bike, moto, water — modes that make a difference

• On-screen stats: speed, distance, elevation from Garmin/Apple Watch/app.

• ND Motion: simulated motion blur without physical ND filters.

• Moto Road Mode: loop recording with overwrite; plus Direction Lock, impact damping, and automatic license-plate blurring.

• AquaVision 3.0: automatic underwater color correction.

AI editing and the cloud

• AI Framing — picks the best shots from raw 360 footage.

• MultiView — split the screen into multiple perspectives from one take.

• Shot Lab — 30+ tap-to-apply effects (AI Warp, Sky Swap, Fly Lapse…).

• TimeShift & Timelapse — from hyperlapses to golden-hour time-lapses.

• Insta360 Studio (PC/Mac) — streamlined desktop editing.

• Insta360+ — shareable 360 links, auto-backup, plus cloud editing & export.
