  1. Jacobo V –

    Facile à connecter, mise à jour directe depuis l’application sur le mobile. Utilisation indispensable avec la caméra sur perche. Je suis ravi de mon achat.

  2. Alfonso Faustino –

    lo uso per legarlo al manubrio della moto, per comandare la insta da remoto, per accenderla e far partire registrazione. attenzione che, come detto da molti, al tocco è sensibile, soprattutto coi guanti, se si tocca male si cambiano le impostazioni di scatto da video a foto. bisogna prenderci la mano. Ma come prodotto mi sembra buono, molto costoso come sempre.
    registra i dati gps bene

    The remote itself seems to work well. I have not yet tested the battery life. But overall I can control the camera just fine.

    However there are some oddities for my taste:
    1- You need a proprietary charging little dock. And it comes with USB-A, not USB-C. One more cable to lose…
    2- The mount is also proprietary. They give you two rubber holders. One as a watch, one as a bike type mount. What happens if one if damaged/lost? And the holding of the remote in these cradles is not that secure.
    3- The watch type of cradle has a rather small strap. I am at the last before the last hole setting.

    The product was defective. It does not charge. There is a problem with the charger.

  5. Meghan Ferguson O’Neill –

    Just a great remote controller for X4. With gps and screen it is great.
    It is just a little expensive. As a cheaper solution, there are apps for Android, Apple and Garmin smartwatches.

  6. G. Jones –

    Was skeptical this is a need, but just got back from vacation in Colorado and this was an absolute must. Couldn’t have got some of the shots I did with having to bring the invisible stick down constantly to start filming. This is way better than the iPhone app too, I have no regrets.

    If you’re on the fence, get it. You won’t be disappointed.

    I used the GPS Preview Remote with my Insta360 X4. For the X4 to connect, I had to update the GPS Preview Remote, via the Insta360 Application, in the SETTINGS tab.

    Likes:

    – It puts the GPS data directly to the X4’s videos; so, if you’re using the Insta360 Desktop Software or Telemetry, both softwares will extrapolate the GPS data from the GPS Preview Remote for the gauges in the softwares’ overlays. (Impacts my rating.)

    In my experiences, when using the Apple Watch Ultra’s Activities, in my case Tennis, all the data from the Activities, go into the Apple Health Application — that data is not written into the X4’s videos; hence, when using the X4 video with Telemetry and the Insta360 Desktop Software, the GPS data from Apple’s Health will not transfer over to Telemetry and Insta360 Desktop Software’s overlays. (Doesn’t impact my rating.)

    – Crisp Screen (Impacts my rating.)

    – Touch-screen (Impacts my rating.)

    – Good battery-life — I recorded my Tennis sessions for three hours; and, I still had 75% battery-life. (Impacts my rating.)

    Dislikes:

    – It doesn’t always wake up the X4. (Impacts my rating.)

    – Doesn’t provide as much GPS data as my Apple Watch Ultra, via the Health App, when activated with Apple’s Activities, like Tennis. (Doesn’t impact my rating.)

    – I couldn’t get GPS Coordinates through this device when using the iPhone OS Insta360 Application. The Insta360 OS Application doesn’t show DIRECTION, as an option, in the STATS’s menu. (Doesn’t impact my rating.)

    – GPS connection takes about 3-5 minutes in my experiences — even with no overhead obstructions. (Impacts my rating.)

    – Screen is too small to use when doing fast-activity sports — but, it is a convenient tool for walking, hiking, tennis, and other activities that aren’t fast-paced activities. (Impacts my rating.)

    – I don’t like the charging cable. (Impacts my rating.)

    – I don’t like the charging cradle. (Impacts my rating.)

    – I don’t like the wrist-watch strap. (Impacts my rating.)

    – I don’t like the handle-bar strap. (Impacts my rating.)

    – The price does not justify the performance and data provided by the GPS Preview Remote — as I mentioned, my Apple Watch Ultra, via Health App and Activities, provides the same data as the GPS Preview Remote and more data than the GPS Preview Remote. (Impacts my rating.)

    I will keep the remote; because, I need the data for the desktop Insta360 software — the Apple GPS data will not transfer over to the desktop Insta360 software.

  8. Ed Luft –

    Solo tiene un pero el modo de carga con cable imantado especifico. Lo demás funciona muy bien y fácil de manejar . A ver si se animan y sacan mas soportes para poder ponerlo en mas sitios , no solo en manillares o muñeca.

  9. Thierry T –

    Had one for my X2 and when I upgraded to an X4, also had to upgrade the remote as well. That piece is irritating. On the other hand – the viewing screen, ease of use, easy charging – useful upgrade.

  10. Alfonso Faustino –

    Great addition to my Insta x4

  11. riccardo –

    Easily control your insta 360×4 when it is out of reach, on motorcycle. Can add gps tracking info to your video in real time. Battery time is very good.

  12. Meghan Ferguson O’Neill –

    this is a must have if you are attaching your Ace Pro to a chest mount as there is no way to see the screen to frame your shots. It comes with 2 straps, one to wear like a watch and the other to mount to handle bars or a selfie stick. the features it adds toy your videos are great, it will show speed, distance, visual route that was taken as you ride, elevation. it uses a magnetic charging system which is nice because it makes it waterproof compared to having a usb-c charger. Battery life is great, it can be in use up to 6 hours, i will never do 6 hours of videos in one day. It will turn on and off the camera or both camera and remote together. It is a little expensive, but it is worth it to get the shot you want the first time, and not record something to just see the camera was pointing too high or too low, something I’ve done with a chest mount. The remote will control all the setting for your camera, stop/start recording and take pictures. if you have your camera on a selfie stick you don’t need to bring camera close to record, you just hit the record button on the remote. this ia must have in my opinion.

  13. Ilker A. –

    Just got this yesterday and my X4 arrived today. Such a small remote, worries me a bit, as I could lose an elephant… Nice clear display that packs a lot of features. Just wish my X4 was as cooperative. (X4 has no WiFi to connect to , not xmitting, so not able to really test this device yet).
