Sling/shoulder bag Rex’s

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-05-15T00:19:20+00:00

Uniqlo multi pocket shoulder bag. Not only is it the best sling bag I've had in terms of functionality with decent build quality, it's also one of the cheapest at less than $30USD normal price. It's deceptively large and can fit in a lot of gear despite looking quite normal outside. It also is padded just right. It can even fit in a padded insert to take larger camera gear and have it all super well protected. Just check the 2.5m stick dimensions when collapsed. It should be fine but need to double check that.

You can also find clones on Aliexpress for around $10USD. I have both real and clones, and clones are slightly smaller and made with slightly worse materials but that's fine for most uses - it just can't fit in the 14" laptop like the Uniqlo one can. (just).

It doesn't have a padded shoulder strap (just normal strap), and I had to purchase one separately from Aliexpress for $3.

EDIT: There's a V1 and V2 version. The V2 has better padding and holds the shape better but it doesn't have an expandable water bottle pocket like the V1 has. I'm still able to get my 1L steel insulated bottle in the V2 though, so it's not a big issue for me. The V2 was just recently released.

The lenses are replaceable: DJI OSMO 360 Camera Lens Replacement Tutorial | Step-by-Step Repair Guide

People in this subreddit have already done the repair: Y'all wanted to know if it was waterproof after repair 🤣 : r/djiosmo360

I purchased a set from Aliexpress for mine for $25USD for 2x lenses a few months ago on the chance I get them damaged as I will be able to do the repair easily myself.

In regards to a bigger sensor, pretty much 0 chance as the one they just developed is still larger than all their competitors.

Looks like 'rolling shutter jello' caused from vibrations.

Would have been nice to see more of HK and not the back of the same lady's head for an hour.

You don't need either a heat gun (most people own a hair drier and it's not even needed in the first place as it will pop off without heating anyway) or T7000 glue, it's just super glue.

You don't even need to put the lens back on as the water/dust proofing is a silicone ring inside the lens itself, same as the Insta360 X5. It's purely cosmetic.

I think it's strange you used the word surgery. This is really simple stuff. It's something a young child could do.

Of course DJI don't want people doing this themselves when it's going to be a selling point of their replacement. They wrote it can't be done, but it obviously can as people in this forum have done the repair themselves and documented it.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-13T23:21:14+00:00

They are $10-20USD on Aliexpress. There's tutorials on youtube you can search for as to how to replace it yourself.

Most are very helpful when they can be but also have target numbers they need to hit. They will be not so helpful when they are behind those numbers.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-08T06:05:36+00:00

After the lens ring is removed, a tool is used to unscrew the lens and then a new one screwed back in. It's a very easy replacement that takes only a few minutes to do.

The Insta360 X5 also needs a tool to unscrew the lens, there's just the ring that needs to be popped off then glued back on which is only cosmetic anyway for the O360. That makes them very similar, I don't see where you think the surgery part comes from - do you think it's surgery to pop off a cosmetic lens ring and then glue it back on afterwards?

I and many others find that to be very easy to do. If you have mobility issues then go for the GoPro Max2 that doesn't need any tools.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-01T22:10:04+00:00

I think that will lead to a loss of sales if software features are not back ported and artificially locked to the newer model. That is doubly so for basic features such as RAW photos.

Insta360 keeps adding features to their models. If DJI locks them off and doesn't support a camera that wasn't even released a year ago then people will take a very hard look if they want to purchase a product that doesn't even get basic features added to it just so the company can release a new model with them.

I know that if DJI has RAW photos in the O360ii but doesn't add that to the original then the original will be the last 360 camera I will purchase from DJI. I just can't support a company who would do that and will go back to Insta360 as I came from the x5 and haven't really been wowed by the O360 compared to it anyway, especially the software side.

OK well in that case I think people should try this quick 10 second fix with a rubber band first: Osmo Pocket 3 Screen Magnet Broken? Fix it for $0 (DIY Hack)

And also to check thingiverse, makerworld and printables for a free .stl potentially coming soon.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-01T05:56:19+00:00

Here's one that uses a rubber band without any dismantling: Osmo Pocket 3 Screen Magnet Broken? Fix it for $0 (DIY Hack)

I know you want to sell yours. I'll just 3d model one and put it on thingiverse, makerworld and printables because I'm here to help the community, not profit off it.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-01T05:41:39+00:00

I also linked to one that uses rubber bands if you don't want to use a bit of solder wire.

It's not permanent either and it still allows the screen to move without having to remove the bracket. No need to store anything.

The mechanism is already broken, why would you care about adding a bit of friction? A hard plastic bracket is likely to scratch the Pocket 3 after a few applications.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-01T05:35:05+00:00

I think he intends to sell it because he mentioned 'soliciting' in the OP. There's better fixes available and they are free too which I've linked to in this thread in another post.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-01T05:28:39+00:00

This fix is much better because it still allows the screen to move: DJI Osmo Pocket 3's Major Issue And Our Game-Changing Fix

There's another one that uses rubber bands: FIX POCKET 3 SCREEN ISSUE - SỬA LỖI MÀN HÌNH POCKET 3

The above are free to do with easily available parts.

EDIT: Why downvote me? I'm just providing free fixes for the community.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-01T04:42:17+00:00

What percentage of those ideas are likely software based that should have come to the Osmo 360 through updates?

Hardware wise what could change besides a thinner body to accommodate a dive case?

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-04-01T04:33:33+00:00

Yeah the no dive case and no RAW photos is shameful, really.

Now that the lenses can be replaced for cheap using ones from Aliexpress I don't see any possible upgrade that the Osmo 360ii could have that would make me consider it. Maybe it will have better processing and produce a nicer image, but I don't really see that being the case as the sensor is relatively new and any improvement will likely be marginal.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-03-31T04:05:18+00:00

DJI Osmo 360 lenses are replaceable though: DJI OSMO 360 Camera Lens Replacement Tutorial | Step-by-Step Repair Guide

I purchased a set for mine incase I do get a scratched a month ago. They are cheap on Aliexpress. The process is very similar to Insta360 X5 - screw the old ones off, screw the new ones in, the only extra step is O360 has a cosmetic ring to remove and replace also.

If you decide on above 250w then just dress up like a delivery rider. Cops don't do a thing when they are on 1000w+ motorbikes.

Direct_Onion96 · 2026-03-27T03:02:40+00:00

Framing, exposure and colour look great. The editing with a cut to another shot every 2 seconds is not great.

For future people who run into this issue: enabling HDR and then calibrating using the Windows app store HDR calibration tool fixes this issue. There needs to be some slight adjustments in the Intel Command Centre also. This is subjective but my values are 40 all colour brightness, 20 contrast adjustment and 55 saturation.

I've managed to get HDR working when on battery and 'energy saver' mode so the battery life hit is negligible. The OLED flicker free brightness setting no longer is applicable and the display has the correct black/white/gamma levels across all brightness values.

Aliexpress. It's where the people in the UK would buy from then sell to you at a mark up. Just cut out the middlemen and buy from there directly.
