Given that I consider that you have influence at Insta360 due to your experience, what do you think about the feasibility of a 360 cam for drone, like the Insta360 sphere, but with several brackets? The original Insta360 sphere was built only for the DJI Air2 and Air2s, but in the meantime we have several new drones. If I would be insta360, I would build kits where the bracket is just a passive part to fix the two halves. This would allow manufacturing several brackets for many drone models, and the possibility to purchase a mix’n’match of camera modules + the fitting bracket. I’m owning the Mavic 3 and still waiting for a 360 solution for it…and I’m sure there are many who would shoot 360 videos with other drones than the Air2x

Yes, that’s true. My XPhase Pro isn’t all that bad in a small room, so the big question is how am I going to spend my money? … Waiting for tomorrow 🙂

1.Overheat is a big issue for me. So, hope the new insta 360 will overcome this.
2.Would be nice if they give cloud storage & wifi capabilities .Doesn’t make sense to waste several hundred GB storage then just pick some video clips as the final result.
3. Possibility to receive firmware update
4. Of course : 8k record , 1 inch sensor , reliable lens protector , waterproof, easier software post production . Smaller size..and detachable 360 camera (like go3) actually a good idea , err ….too much ? ????

Unfortunately not.

They asked for a quote to do a video tour of a factory, some pieces to camera, stitch, edit and motion graphics. No one baulked at my quote, and I was led to believe it was all going ahead. I bought the X3 as they wanted video, and I’d heard too many bad reports about the unreliability of the RS 1″. Also, I have a GoPro Fusion, so at least I’d have a backup.

The week before I was due to shoot, they cancelled, saying they didn’t have the budget. I asked what budget they had in mind, and they said £700! Seeing as the client was a big-name retailer, I wasn’t expecting them to lowball me quite so much. Lesson learned I guess. Get confirmation in writing before going out and buying gear!

Hi Ricardo,

I’m also more intested in 360º photos, but it seems that the aperture and maximum resolution of the X4 is exactly the same as the X3. So we need to wait and see… 🙂

The design is slightly improved for the lenses and the tripod mount though.

Not interested if it’s not VR180

Hi Mic
I’m an avid traveler and absolutely love my X3. I’m in Guadalajara Mexico going to a museum and shooting with it today. Last week I was four wheeling in the cinder ashes of a volcano in Flagstaff Arizona. It’s hard to believe we could get much better than the X3 but, this new camera sounds amazing and I would love the opportunity to be able to shoot with it on my adventures.

I am still waiting a new Insta360 EVO but I bet this will not be the case. I think it will be just a new 360, and we can call it X4.
CANON where are you ????!!!
