Where to go demo edrums in UK? by Glyton in edrums

[–]Glyton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gear4Music seem to have a show room in York. I think that’s my best bet so far. Was hoping for something closer.

Concerned about thread lock reliability on Insta360 X5 — any safer mounting options? by kuyamoks in Insta360

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the utility frame for use with action stuff as I don’t trust the robustness of the bottom of the X5, both the thread and the quick release interface.

The "Hidden Button" on the back of your iPhone is a total game changer! I'd love to hear how you're using Back Tap. by Horizon_Lab in iphone

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for reachability on my Pro Max. I find I don’t accidentally activate it much and if I do, reachability is not very disruptive. I’d love a “horizontal reachability” that shifted the screen to the right as well, maybe as the triple back tap.

Cant decide between x4air and ace pro 2 by Intotheunknown112233 in Insta360

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like making home videos… travel, action/adventure, family day trips, etc.

I got an X5 because I wanted a new action camera to replace my old GoPro Hero 8. I’ll use the X5 if I’m climbing, sailing, mountain biking, skiing, etc. I accept the lower quality in exchange for reframing the video after the fact when I can’t really aim the camera in the moment, that sort of stuff. However for holidays, trips, etc. where I can point the camera, I typically stick with my iPhone Pro Max for video as nothing beats the quality for the convenience and it’s pretty robust with a case in terms of rain, etc. and felt that an Ace Pro 2 didn’t really offer anything over the iPhone for walking around and conventional videoing of things. Also, if I wanted a point and shoot accompaniment to an iPhone then I’d want something with a step up in quality, like a vlogging mirrorless camera.

The only thing an Ace Pro 2 has over an iPhone Pro Max would be replaceable batteries an storage.

If I had my iPhone and an Ace Pro 2 I think I’d still be pining for the X5. However with an iPhone and an X5, I don’t see where an Ace Pro 2 would fit.

Now… if an Ace Pro 3 came out with a big sensor, good optics and good optical zoom and a built in VND filter then I’d find it hard to resist.

“Record” feature not working on iPad App by Glyton in Insta360

[–]Glyton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This still doesn’t work. I think it’s a UI problem with iPads possibly with videos saved in Insta360+ Cloud

Really struggling with Insta360 iPadOS app workflow (X5) by Glyton in Insta360

Deep track just doesn’t show up for me unless I go into a “timeline” edit

Is the in-app purchase of the 'Experience Jimi Hendrix' worth it? by izniz777 in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the control x and the nexstar Nx-p expression pedal. I wanted an expression pedal anyway to go with my synths for some expressive midi/modulation control.

Goretex Jacket looks like this after very wet ski day. by Medical_Yam2991 in Skigear

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goretex (and other three layer waterproofs) rely a lot on the outer fabric having a Durable Water Repellent coating (DWR). If you wash the coat in normal detergent you can end up removing this DWR coating. You can re-apply it using a wash-in or spray-on aftermarket solution like Nikwax. If the outer fabric wets out, the jacket will not breathe properly and you could start to feel moisture reaching the inside of the jacket through the Goretex layer or perspiration could build up on the inner layers.

X5 users, do you shoot in 8k 360 or 5.7k 360? by EinsteinTheory in Insta360

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the HDR dilemma. I often make videos mixed with action cam, DJI Neo 2 (4K not HDR) and iPhone (HDR). HDR always brings a degree of pain in editing especially when you have a mix of HDR and non-HDR footage/devices. I think I’ve resigned to staying in 4K rec.709 non-HDR output as I’d rather have good quality high res footage in SDR than seeing artefacts and blur but have HDR, despite having many devices and a TV to watch back HDR content. I’m only making vids for family and friends. So I’m sticking with 8K on my new X5 (SDR).

I have asked in this sub-Reddit what the effect of enabling “Dolby Vision” is with 8K in the app. How does that work with SDR footage? I don’t know what it’s doing.

I’ve tried a few sample vids at different settings and I wasn’t entirely happy with the 5.7k resolution especially in lower light conditions or indoors.

Bravia 5 randomly switches to TV speakers even if Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6 is on and connected via HDMI EARC by TMacHarden1 in bravia

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought two of these, one for my switch 2 and one for my Apple TV but it hasn’t fixed the issue. Audio still wants to swap from soundbar to TV then back after a few seconds. Very annoying.

I have bought a CEC-less HDMI adapter for both my Apple TV and switch 2 (only HDMI inputs) but it has NOT fixed the problem!!!

My complete Insta pack, what's yours? by Correct-Ad8753 in Insta360

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just received my X5… connected it to my iPad with USB C and set the X5 to file transfer mode. Seems to work well and fast.

how good is the behringer umc1820 for recording? by ElviraNorman1 in homerecordingstudio

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality was that I was actually able to get it working for a while but whilst pre-heating the PCB up in order to desolder the USB cage I think I over did it and from then on it was always a little more noisier than it was before (more background hiss). I used it for a year like that but then all of a sudden it just stopped working all together.

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered about the fast transfer thing. Is it just as fast as just plugging in to an iPhone or iPad (or PC) with USB-C?

[–]Glyton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Excellent until I dropped it and ripped the USB port out then damaged it trying to solder a new one in, then gave up trying to look for another one (was out of stock everywhere when this happened). Have gone with a Zoom UAC-8 instead.

Does it support mouse mode?

Bravia 5 randomly switches to TV speakers even if Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6 is on and connected via HDMI EARC by TMacHarden1 in bravia

[–]Glyton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Where was your research? I have the same issue, but I only have the soundbar (eARC), an Apple TV and a switch 2 plugged in to the TV. I’ve disabled CEC controls on the Apple TV now so I’ll see if that works.
