The Insta360 X4 is my go-to camera for capturing 360-degree videos.
Thanks to its ability to record everything around me, I can create immersive content that makes my viewers feel like they are there with me. Plus, I can choose the perfect angle in post-production without worrying about the right framing during difficult mountain climbs.
The 3m invisible selfie stick is an incredible accessory: not only does it allow you to get unique shots and spectacular perspectives, but, thanks to the automatic stick removal technology, it seems like the camera is floating in the air. This adds a touch of magic to my videos, making them even more immersive.
Ideal for breathtaking mountain views, it allows me to capture the essence of each landscape.
