Insta360 X4 Air: The Compact, Affordable 8K 360° Action Camera You’ve Been Waiting For!


Insta360 X4 Air compact 8K 360-degree action camera in black and white finish with dual lenses and sleek portable design.

Insta360 has surprised action-camera fans again — just months after dropping the flagship Insta360 X5, the brand has introduced a lighter, smaller, and more budget-friendly alternative: the Insta360 X4 Air.

Designed for creators who want 8K 360-degree video performance without paying premium flagship pricing, the X4 Air delivers high-resolution capture, upgraded sensors, and versatile shooting modes — all in a compact and travel-friendly design.

The camera is now officially available globally through Insta360’s online store in Graphite Black and Arctic White, with US/Canada availability coming soon.

Performance & Camera Specs

Despite being more affordable, the Insta360 X4 Air still packs flagship-grade features:

  • 8K 360° recording — 30fps
  • 4K 50fps, or 120fps at 1080p in single-lens mode
  • 29MP 360-degree stills
  • Upgraded dual 1/1.8-inch sensors for sharper detail & richer color
  • Insta360's powerful stabilization & AI video stitching

While the X5 does offer higher photo resolution and better low-light ability, the X4 Air retains serious shooting power for vloggers, riders, travelers, and FPV drone users.


Creator-Focused Features

The X4 Air stays true to Insta360's user-friendly and creative DNA, offering:

  • Replaceable lenses — swap instantly if scratched
  • Lens guards compatible with original X4 accessories
  • Hands-free recording
                            1.  Hand gestures
                            2.  Voice commands
                            3.  Motion trigger (selfie-stick twist)
  • Invisible Selfie Stick support
  • AI-assisted editing in Insta360 app

This lineup makes it a great fit for:

  • Motovloggers
  • Travel vloggers
  • Adventure sports
  • Biking/Car POV creators
  • Cinematic FPV drone shooters

Battery & Build

Smaller buid = slightly smaller battery, but still impressive:

  • 2,010mAh battery
  • Up to 88 minutes at 8K / 30fps
  • Lightweight at 165g (30g lighter than X5/X4)
  • Compact design for pocket-carry
  • Waterproof up to 49 ft without additional case

Global                                         $399.99
US / Canada                                         Coming soon

Colors Available: Graphite Black and Arctic White

At $399, it undercuts GoPro and Insta360 X5 pricing — while offering flagship-level 8K video — making it one of the most value-packed 360 cameras in 2025.
