👍 What we like
- Class-leading low light — cleaner than the X5 and the Osmo 360 II in dim scenes
- 8K50 with 10-bit color and Dolby Vision: more frames, more grading headroom
- The best 360 software: invisible selfie stick, AI reframing, huge accessory catalog
- Bigger 2,600 mAh battery than its direct rivals
👎 What we don’t
- The most expensive camera in the X line to date
- DJI’s Osmo 360 II counters with native 8K60 and 105GB built-in storage
- Overkill if you only shoot casual daylight clips — the X4 Air covers that for less
