Insta360's range of 360 cameras now offers both a premium 8K camera and this newer, lighter version of the X4. Usually, when companies offer a lesser camera in this space it is the resolution that suffers – GoPro's old Max (1) being a case in point, or the X3 – but here the X4 Air has the same 8K as the X5 and, in fact, bigger imaging sensors than the original X4.
Where, then, is the compromise? Well, it is lighter, so rest assured that I'll be looking quite closely at the battery life (which officially caps at 88 minutes in the lab at 8K)
