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

Better software...
Before I do, I'm not just listing off specs. I'm giving a true representation of both units. You just lied about saying some software features don't exist, even though they do, you just don't know how to use them. You then listed off your opinion with 1 spec that doesn't actually affect any outcome of use.
Well your software points is completely null and void. You think the GoPro software is good because it's so old and crap, that's not what most video editors want. Saying a software is better because it's featureless and old makes you sound old and out of touch with current tech.
Regarding this nonsensical 'true 8k' marketing... If you understood cameras, you understand that it's null and void. Given then your packing that small amount of extra 'true (LOL) 8K' into tiny sensors. Both insta360 sensors are almost double the size making the actual real world results way better.
Ah man, sorry for your loss. If it makes you feel any better, now you have a reason to get a new camera 😁
I got the X5 at the end of last year, my RS One remains my hand mounted camera for grabbing bike share bikes (don't trust myself to attach something to the bike and remember it when I get off). But the X5 is awesome and I love it for everything else.
A lot of components of a product have to work together. Grabbing a sensor off a shelf and plugging it in unfortunately isn’t how it works. If you want a sensor/processor combo it’s a few years of lead time development. X5 isn’t a perfect machine, the sensors are limited in resolution so they have to upscale to reach 8K. Their processors also can’t support 10-bit.
If you are in need of night 360 that’s fine, either instax5 or DJI osmo360 have a larger pixel size.

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