At this price, the Insta360 X4 is largely on the table. Even at full price, this is our favorite budget 360 camera, thanks to the excellent 1/2-inch sensor that captures up to 8K video. Apart from the newer Insta360 X5, the dynamic range is very good, which is better. Another major thing you give up on compared to the X5 is PureVideo mode, which does help with low light. Frankly speaking, the X4’s low-light energy is terrible. Still, given that these aren’t a huge sacrifice, you can also save $165 on the X5.
The X4 has good battery life and like the X5, it can be used in single-lens mode, giving you a 4K action camera in addition to a 360 camera.
