For underwater adventurers and action camera enthusiasts, protecting your valuable equipment is paramount. The Insta360 X4 Dive Case (CINSBBMG) promises robust protection for your Insta360 X4, allowing you to capture stunning footage even at significant depths. After several weeks of rigorous testing, both in a controlled environment and during actual dives, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

The Insta360 X4 Dive Case boasts a range of features designed for underwater filming. The most significant is its impressive 50-meter (164-foot) waterproof rating (IPX8), making it suitable for most recreational diving activities. The scratch-resistant housing, coupled with a hydrophobic coating, ensures your lens remains clear, even in challenging conditions. This coating effectively repels water droplets, preventing blurry footage from water clinging to the lens. The package includes the dive case itself, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and a one-year warranty, which offers peace of mind. It’s designed to be used with the Invisible Selfie Stick for those impressive third-person perspectives.

I tested the Insta360 X4 Dive Case in both a pool and the ocean, reaching depths of up to 30 meters. The case performed flawlessly, maintaining a watertight seal throughout. The clarity of the footage was remarkable, with no noticeable distortion or water spots. The hydrophobic coating did exactly what it promised; the lens remained exceptionally clear, even after emerging from the water. The build quality is solid, providing a reassuring sense of protection for my camera. I found the case relatively easy to use and secure, although I did find the initial latching mechanism took some getting used to. Ensuring the camera was seated correctly was also important to prevent any leakage or fogging. Overall, it exceeded my expectations for both functionality and image quality.

One minor point to note is that there is a slight reduction in light transmission due to the lens of the case, but it was by no means enough to compromise the video quality in well-lit conditions. In low light scenarios, I would recommend utilizing external lighting for optimal results.

Pros:

• 50m waterproof rating (IPX8)
• Scratch-resistant and hydrophobic lens coating
• Excellent image clarity
• Robust build quality
• One-year warranty

Cons:

• Slight reduction in light transmission
• Latching mechanism may require some getting used to

The Insta360 X4 Dive Case (CINSBBMG) is a superb investment for anyone serious about capturing high-quality underwater footage. While there are a few minor drawbacks, the exceptional waterproof protection, scratch-resistant lens, and ease of use make it a top contender. It seamlessly integrates with the Insta360 X4 and significantly enhances its capabilities. I highly recommend this case to anyone looking to expand their underwater filming opportunities.
