Durability
Durability is a key consideration for any action camera, and the Insta360 X4 excels in this area. It is waterproof up to 33 feet without needing additional casing, giving you the freedom to shoot underwater footage straight out of the box.

Additionally, the X4 is built to withstand harsh cold-weather conditions, capable of operating in temperatures as low as -20ºC.
