Tired of missing those must-see moments because you couldn’t get your phone camera pointed in the right direction? 360 cameras are about to blow your mind. These gadgets capture everything around you, letting you edit the perfect shot after the action’s over. And with leaked specs suggesting an 8K successor to the Insta360 One X3 is just around the corner, it’s time to get excited.
Insta360, the reigning champ of 360 cameras, just announced an April 16th event promising “The 8K era is here.” While the teaser is short on specifics, leaks from the reliable @Quadro_News reveal a likely contender: the Insta360 One X4.
If the rumors hold true, this upgrade could be a game-changer:
- 8K/30p 360-degree video: More pixels mean sharper crops and smoother slow-motion.
- Bigger battery: Longer life = more time to capture those epic moments.
- Similar price to One X3: If accurate, an 8K camera at the same cost is a bargain.
GoPro, a big name in action cams, finally teased a GoPro Max successor last year… but details have been scarce. While Insta360 has been steadily improving its cameras and software for years, GoPro has some catching up to do. Could the Max 2 have some groundbreaking AI editing tricks up its sleeve to counter Insta360’s 8K resolution? We’ll have to wait and see.
Here’s the deal: It’s about capturing everything, then focusing later. Think epic landscapes, crazy stunts, or even just unpredictable family gatherings. No more missed shots because you were fumbling with your phone.
The Catch? Editing. Since you film in all directions, choosing the best angles afterward takes a bit of work. Insta360’s software keeps getting better, but it’s still something to consider before making the leap.
Insta360’s One X series is already beloved for a reason, and the rumored One X4’s 8K capabilities sound fantastic. We’ll know for sure on April 16th if this leak is the real deal!
