EUR! Right. I guess I was thinking Black Friday was just a us thing. X5. It’s not just the battery life and low light but also the detail. It lets you zoom in more on the fun accidents.
I’m not a fan of the air because of the battery life. Not that I’m selling you on an x4 but the lens guards work fine. The stitching is fine. I use an x4 as a dashcam on my bike helmet. That and also for snowboarding and rock climbing. So same kinda thing. I just edit vids of friends and family.
My friends have GoPros and we edit the vids into one. The x4 is impressive because it captures every accident. But I do wish it had more detail for zooming in. So the X5 might be worth it. Forget the Osmo. DJI’s software isn’t there yet.
About the editing. Once you get it, it’s easy. But the refraining is still an additional step. I use the giro in my phone to record the framing. There are several ways to reframe and the software is impressive. But it’s hard to offer all that without making it fiddly.
I got the x4 for $320. My guess is insta will have a better deal than 389 EUR soon
If it’s your first just go for the x5. I’ve used the x4 for more than a year and as long as it doesn’t break there very little incentive to move to the x5 on the basis of low light performance
I have a insta 360 x4. Absolutely love it. Designed for extracurriculars so the stabilizer within the camera is the best! Ive used it while jumping and everything and it really gets good footage, also shoots everything around you so if something is happening behind you, you will have it on film!
I use an Insta360 X4 with motorcycle mount on my R3. It has decent night time videos that I have posted on YouTube. 5k resolution downgraded to 1080p because I use a freeware clipchamp.
I have an insta360 x4. It’s cool but it’s pretty bulky and doesn’t do great with up-close footage (because of the stitching, you can see the line) and uses lens protectors that are finicky to deal with so i would probably just get the best/newest used GoPro you can find, an extra battery or two, and the accessories you want.
x5 may also be worth it for the easily replaceable lenses. If you scratch the x4 lenses you have to mail it in and pay a lot.
saying that as someone who bought an x4 and hates dealing with the foggy lens protectors but is too worried to use it without them. A few months later they came out with the x5 🙄
with the dive case that may be less of an issue unless you plan on using it for other things like i do

Great low-light, mic integration; watch out for lens flare.
