Insta360 has just unveiled its latest 360° action camera — the Insta360 X4 Air, a lightweight yet powerful addition to the brand’s X-series lineup. Marketed as the company’s lightest-ever 8K 360° action camera, the X4 Air combines premium imaging hardware, long battery life, and a sleek, travel-friendly design.
Sleek, Lightweight Design
The new Insta360 X4 Air measures 46 x 113.8 x 37 mm and weighs just 165 grams, making it the lightest 8K 360° camera from the brand to date. For comparison, the original X4 weighed around 203 grams, meaning the new model is nearly 40 grams lighter while maintaining the same compact footprint.
Available in Graphite Black and Arctic White, the X4 Air looks minimalist and modern — perfect for vloggers, travelers, and content creators who prefer portability without compromise.
8K 360° Video with Dual CMOS Sensors
Under the hood, the Insta360 X4 Air packs dual 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensors capable of delivering detailed and vibrant visuals. Each lens captures footage at 29MP resolution, featuring an f/1.95 aperture and 6.4mm equivalent focal length, ensuring bright and crisp images even in challenging lighting conditions.
The camera can record 360° videos at up to 8K 30fps, delivering incredible clarity and dynamic range. It also supports Insta360’s AdaptiveTone exposure algorithm, helping balance highlights and shadows automatically for professional-grade results.
Imaging Modes and Stabilization
Despite its lightweight form, the X4 Air offers nearly all the shooting modes from Insta360’s flagship X5, including:
• 360° Video
• Active HDR
• InstaFrame Mode
• Timelapse
• Loop Recording
• Road Mode
For smooth, shake-free footage, the X4 Air features FlowState Stabilization and 360° Horizon Lock, ensuring your videos stay perfectly level even during intense motion.
Users can also take advantage of gesture controls for hands-free shooting and edit their clips easily via the Insta360 mobile app, which supports auto-editing, exporting, and sharing in just a few taps.
Long Battery Life and Accessory Compatibility
Powering the device is a 2,010 mAh battery, capable of delivering up to 100 minutes of runtime when recording at 6K 24fps. Even at the highest 8K 30fps setting, the X4 Air manages a solid 88 minutes of continuous recording.
The camera supports user-replaceable lenses, and it’s also compatible with most X5 accessories, offering great flexibility for existing Insta360 users. Additionally, it’s water-resistant up to 15 meters (49 ft), making it ideal for underwater shooting and adventure sports.
