\u2699\ufe0f Which microSD card should I choose for the Insta360 X4 Air?<\/h2>\n\n

The Insta360 X4<\/a> Air records in 8K at 30 frames per second<\/strong> and up to 5.7K at 60 fps<\/strong> , which requires a UHS-I<\/strong> , V30<\/strong> or higher memory card.
The manufacturer recommends using cards with a minimum write speed of 90 MB\/s<\/strong> to ensure the stability of high-resolution files.<\/p>\n\n

Here are the standards you need to know<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n

Label<\/th>Reading speed<\/th>Writing speed<\/th>Recommended use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
U1 \/ C10<\/strong><\/td>~100 MB\/s<\/td>20\u201330 MB\/s<\/td>Full HD only<\/td><\/tr>

\ud83d\udca1 Tip<\/strong> : UHS-II cards (faster) are compatible with the X4 Air, but the camera won’t utilize their full speed. You can still benefit from faster transfers to your computer. <\/p>\n\n
