Overview

The Insta360 CINSBBMJ Fast Charge Hub is a purpose-built three-bay battery charger for the Insta360 X4. For X4 shooters who work across a full day of coverage — events, outdoor expeditions, real estate walkthroughs, travel content — managing battery state is one of the primary logistics challenges of the camera. The hub solves it directly: all three bays charge simultaneously, and with a USB-C PD power source, each battery reaches 80% capacity in 26 minutes. That's a functional charge in the time it takes to debrief a shoot, eat a meal, or take a car ride between locations. The 80% threshold is also where most of the usable runtime lives — the final 20% charges more slowly in any lithium battery system, so the 26-minute figure represents genuinely usable power, not just a partial fill.

The hub's intelligent charging management system handles each bay independently, with individual overcharge protection per slot. This means you can drop partially discharged batteries in alongside empty ones without worrying about overcharging the ones that were fuller to begin with — each bay monitors and terminates its own charge cycle. At 3.84 oz and approximately the footprint of a large smartphone, the hub fits cleanly into a camera bag pouch alongside the X4 and doesn't demand its own dedicated compartment. The single USB-C PD input aligns with modern power adapter and power bank ecosystems, reducing charging infrastructure overhead when traveling. Note that the hub is X4-specific — it will not accept batteries from other Insta360 models, and batteries are not included.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Charges all three X4 batteries simultaneously rather than sequentially — a full three-battery set is ready in a single charging session.
  • PD fast charging to 80% in 26 minutes is fast enough to top up during a subject break or transit between shooting locations.
  • Independent overcharge protection per bay protects battery chemistry when you leave batteries charging overnight or during extended breaks.
  • Compact and light at 3.84 oz — the hub adds minimal weight and volume to a travel kit dedicated to X4 shooting.
  • Single USB-C PD input means the hub works with the same adapter ecosystem as your laptop, reducing the number of dedicated chargers you travel with.

👎 Cons

  • Power adapter is not included — achieving the rated fast charge speed requires sourcing a separate USB-C PD adapter capable of sufficient wattage output.
  • Batteries are not included, which means the total system cost for a three-battery setup is the hub plus three X4 batteries — a meaningful additional investment.
  • Compatibility is locked to Insta360 X4 batteries specifically; it will not charge X3, ONE RS, or other Insta360 battery types.
  • Three bays are sufficient for a typical day's X4 shooting, but photographers shooting extended multi-day expeditions without reliable power access may still need additional batteries beyond what the hub can hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

All three bays charge simultaneously and independently. Each bay has its own overcharge protection circuit, so a battery that reaches full charge stops drawing current regardless of what state the other two bays are in — you're not splitting a single power source across three batteries.
Yes. The hub supports USB Power Delivery (PD), which requires a PD-capable USB-C power adapter to unlock the 80%-in-26-minutes charge rate. Using a standard 5V USB charger will charge the batteries but at a significantly slower rate. The power adapter is not included with the hub.
No — batteries are sold separately. The hub charges only Insta360 X4 batteries; it is not compatible with batteries from other Insta360 models such as the X3 or ONE X2.
The hub draws power from a connected USB-C PD source. A laptop USB-C port or a USB-C power bank can supply it, but you'll only reach full PD fast charge speeds if the source delivers adequate wattage. A high-output power bank (45W+ PD output) will maintain fast charge rates; lower-output sources will reduce charging speed.
All three bays charge simultaneously from the moment batteries are inserted — there is no sequential prioritization. The intelligent charging management system manages each bay independently to optimize charging and prevent overcharge, but all three run in parallel.
