There is Air in laptops, and more recently, in phones. Now, Air, the universal code word for “thin and light”, has arrived in the action camera world. And not just any action camera, but one that sees everything. For folks who think the regular Insta360 X5 is a little too chunky, Insta360 gives you the X4 Air, an ultralight 8K 360 camera that’s as portable as it is powerful.
Weighing just 165 grams, the X4 Air is practically a feather with lenses. It’s smaller than your power bank but somehow manages to pack dual 1/1.8-inch sensors, 8K 360 video capture, and AI-powered tools that make editing a walk in the park. It measures 113.8 mm tall, 46 mm wide, and 37 mm deep, so it’ll disappear in your pocket—unless you pair it with the Invisible Selfie Stick, in which case it’ll disappear entirely from your footage too.
The camera uses AdaptiveTone and Active HDR to handle tricky lighting and Portrait Mode to make sure your face doesn’t look like a vampire in daylight. It’s also built for the real world, with replaceable lenses, ultra-hard optical coating, and waterproofing up to 15 meters (49 feet). So yes, it’s tiny, but it can still handle a good dunk or two.
Shooting is a breeze with Gesture Control, Twist to Shoot, and Voice Control—ideal for creators who prefer not to poke at screens mid-flight, mid-wave, or mid-wipeout.
Available in Graphite Black and Arctic White, the Insta360 X4 Air starts at US$399.99, with the Starter Bundle (which includes the 114 cm Invisible Selfie Stick, lens cap, and extra battery) going for US$439.99.
