From city commutes to countryside rides, if you're heading out on your trusty two-wheeler, you should have a cycling camera that goes with you wherever the action does. Luckily for you, Insta360 X4 lets you pedal through life and capture it all in immense quality as you go. Here's 10 wheely-good (see what we did there?) reasons why X4 is a must-have for cyclists. Check them out!
1. You'll capture the most scenic rides of your life.
If there was ever a need for cycling cameras, it's this! Insta360 X4 shoots mind-blowing 8K 360º videos for super crispy, ultra-clear, top-quality shots of your ride from every. single. angle. There's also 5.7K at new and improved 60fps for smooth, sharp action. Slow it down by 2x for cinematic shots as you fly through puddles or make a sprint for the finish line. You've never seen rides like this before!
Once you're back on two legs rather than two wheels, you can easily reframe your 360º footage in the Insta360 app and choose your best shots after. You have every angle to play with, meaning infinite ways to edit one video, and it slots nicely into footage from other cameras with no compromises on image quality. The possibilities are quite literally endless.
2. It doubles up as a 4K wide-angle camera.
By switching to Single-Lens Mode and filming with just one lens, X4 transforms into a rugged, wide-angle action camera with a more traditional "point-and-shoot" look. The best bit? It films up to 4K60fps, which means super-smooth, immersive POV shots. There's also MaxView for ultra-wide 170º POVs up to 4K30fps. Single-Lens mode looks great when X4 is mounted to your chest or helmet and is the perfect way to show off your route and scenic views. So whether you want a 360 cycling camera or something that just shoots straight - it handles both!
No reframing, no quality loss in the edit, no need for any other wide-angle action camera. Ohhh yeah, that's the good stuff.
3. You can overlay stats from your Garmin device or Apple Watch.
Just smashed your PR? Well, you're gonna want to show it off! Thanks to a dedicated integration, you can export your cycling stats from your Garmin device or Apple Watch and overlay real-time data like heart rate, GPS, route and more in just a few taps—no need to sync footage and timestamps!
If you're looking for even more control, the GPS Preview Remote lets you overlay stats and acts as a control center from your wrist or handlebars. If you have X4 mounted out of reach (think near your wheel), you'll be able to live preview your shots and completely control it, too!
4. It comes with removable lens guards for any biffs and stacks.
You wear your helmet, right? Might as well protect those camera lenses too. X4 comes with custom-molded plastic Standard Lens Guards in the box, or you can grab the tempered glass Premium Lens Guards for even greater protection. Both types of Lens Guards are easily removable with a simple twist for full flexibility.
There's also a super strong 2.5" Corning® Gorilla® glass touchscreen for easy operation, clear preview and rugged protection. Ride on without worry, this cycling camera has it covered.
5. You can add motion blur without any extra equipment.
With the Motion ND effect in the Insta360 app or Studio, you can edit cinematic cycling shots without needing an ND filter! It shows a real sense of speed as you race down flats and roads.
6. Your shots will be totally unshakeable.
With gimbal-like FlowState Stabilization and our auto-leveling technology, 360º Horizon Lock, your shots will stay buttery smooth and upright no matter what. No shakes, no bumps, just smooooooooth pedalin'.
7. It can weather the weather.
X4 is waterproof to 33ft (10m) straight out of the box, so there's no need to worry when you get caught in rainstorms or pedal through puddles.
8. You can capture immersive first-person shots...
Mounting X4 to your handlebars means impressive POV footage from right in front of your bike. Did we mention there's a mount for that? The Bike Computer Mount is designed to mount your 360º camera to your aerodynamic handlebars for mind-blowing footage, PLUS it cleans up your handlebars by holding your Insta360 camera, bike light, and bike computer.
You can even add real-time data from your bike computer into your footage with the unique stats dashboard—we're talking Garmin, Wahoo, Bryton, Giant and way more. You can pick up this handy mount for integrated or independent handlebars, or get all the trimmings with the X4 Road Cycling Bundle. Damn, we really thought of everything, huh?
9. ...or third-person views, no camera crew needed.
Want those incredible third-person views and full flexibility? Check out the Bike Tail Mount Kit. With a sturdy, gimbal-inspired design, you can capture follow shots (without the drone!), freely adjust the angle, and reframe your 360º footage to show different perspectives and interesting scenery throughout your ride. With two setups in one kit, you can either take the Bike Seat Rail Mount solo and record the view below the seat, or join forces with the upgraded Third-Person Tail Mount to unleash full 360º views. Whatever you choose, insane shots are guaranteed.
10. It sits nicely on your bike's top cap.
Whether you're cycling the Tour de France or following your kids on a family ride, the new Bike Headset Cap Mount is a must-have accessory for cinematic cycling shots. It sits securely on your bike's head tube, seamlessly integrating your Insta360 X4 for immersive first-person POVs from your handlebars or impossible third-person angles with the Action Invisible Selfie Stick—just swap out your original headset cap* and go! The mount also rotates a full 360° to give you different angles with a quick twist.
*Compatible with all standard 28.6mm (1-1/8in) headset top caps.
