Insta360 has just unveiled its sleekest 360° camera yet. The new Insta360 X4 Air offers 8K recording, smart shooting modes, and a compact build that clocks in lighter than most smartphones, making it the most portable 8K 360° action cam in the company’s lineup.
Insta360 X4 Air brings a lightweight design without cutting corners
Weighing just 165g, the X4 Air trims down from the original X4’s 203g chassis while keeping the same compact footprint, 46 x 113.8 x 37 mm. That means better portability for action shooters, vloggers, and creators on the move.
Despite the slim design, Insta360 packs in serious hardware. The X4 Air features dual 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensors, tuned for detail and vibrant colors, along with AdaptiveTone, the brand’s intelligent exposure algorithm.
DJI Neo 2 lands globally on November 13, with fresh price leaks for the US, UK, and Europe revealing three bundle options.
8K 360° recording and up to 100 minutes of runtime
The camera can record 360° video at up to 8K 30 fps, with a maximum still image resolution of 29 MP via its f/1.95 aperture and 6.4mm equivalent lens setup.
Even more impressive: the 2,010mAh battery delivers up to 100 minutes of runtime when recording at 6K 24 fps, or about 88 minutes at full 8K 30 fps. That’s solid longevity for an ultra-portable rig.

And with compatibility across most X5 accessories, existing Insta360 users won’t need to reinvest in extra gear.
If your gear bag is already overloaded, this might be the 8K camera that finally earns a spot.
