| 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 Performance
- Compact Size
- Replaceable lenses
- Waterproof design
- Amazing value at $399
Sure, it drops some photo resolution and slow-mo capabilities compared to the X5, but for most creators — especially travelers, vloggers, and riders — it hits the sweet spot between power, portability, and price.
