[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D_VXlsCLi0) · MountMedia · 2025-05-30 · 0:33 (YouTube Short). **Music-only Short:** YouTube's English captions contain only the lyrics of the background song, so this note was written from video frames, on-screen text, and the description.
## Outline
- **0:00 – Setup.** The Insta360 X5 and Insta360 X4 sit side by side on a dual-mount bar on an Insta360 selfie stick, on a dirt path with mountains behind.

- **0:18 – Split-screen results.** A four-way split screen: X5 on top, X4 below, **Walk** on the left and **Run** on the right, all on the same vineyard lane. The video doesn't declare a winner.
