The embedded player is convenient for previewing the video, but interactive look-around controls can be limited in some browsers. Open the original on YouTube for reliable 360° controls. If the picture looks soft, use Settings → Quality and choose at least 1440p, ideally 2160p or higher when available and your connection can handle it.

About this recording
This page preserves an original 360 Tour recording from Rizal Park, captured on July 4, 2024. The 32:09 recording is part of the site's walking tours archive.
The website version adds searchable place, date, route and collection context around the original YouTube upload so the recording can be explored alongside related videos instead of as an isolated clip.
June–July 2024 trip context
These recordings fall within a series of short Luzon trips made while family friends from Europe were visiting in June and July 2024. Rather than one long trip, Subic was used as a base for several one- to three-day mini-vacations, making it possible to explore different destinations without turning the visit into one continuous road trip.
The most important part of the period was spending time together and sharing places in the Philippines. Some destinations were familiar and could be shown to the visitors from local experience; Pangasinan and the Hundred Islands were new to Kris as well, so that part of the trip was a first-time experience for everyone traveling together.
Traffic delays were not a major concern during these outings because the group was traveling in vacation mode rather than trying to commute on a schedule. Videos recorded on the same date often belong to one continuous outing and are linked together on 360tour.tv where the recording data makes that relationship clear.
First-hand Insta360 X4 experience
The X4 replaced an aging Insta360 ONE X2 as part of a normal two- to three-year gear upgrade cycle. The reasons were practical as well as technical: batteries age quickly in a hot climate, while the X4 brought larger sensors, higher resolution, Active HDR and more AI-assisted features.
Although 8K was tested, 5.7K Active HDR became the more useful everyday mode. In practice, the extra dynamic range and low-light improvement mattered more than repeatedly producing very large 8K files that YouTube would often deliver to viewers at a lower effective quality after processing.
