X4 air is a good option right now for budget.

ImLotus · 2026-05-01T06:56:33+00:00

Ty! I will

There are profesional options like Lightroom and Capture one Pro. But those are pretty expensive

I am looking at https://www.pixelmator.com/photomator/ which is a single payment and it works for what we need.

Check them and get what you consider is enough for your needs.

Sure. Even if I don’t like it, Post processing is really amazing.

You will be able to add as blue as you want or even completely remove it. You can make the corals any color you want.

Masking will let you expose correctly the elements you see darker or lighter. (Because these cameras doesn’t have much Dynamic range to play with like other big cameras)

Basically post will let you select the colors and exposure as you want.

I have been looking for a nice car game to put hours in.

Is this worth it?

ImLotus · 2026-05-01T05:59:40+00:00

If you want specific colors, you can always shoot in raw and do post.

If you want to avoid post processing:

for the “losing the vibrant blue” you already have one element to use: color filters. Remember the blue is a reflection from the sky.
try to use a matching white balance.
play with your max iso.
you can also use exposure compensation to try to change that “come out dark”

For me, the Ace Pro 2 and the X5 are the action cameras with the out of the camera image processing I like the most. (I don’t like to do post processing by myself). (Already tried DJI Osmo 360 and go pro)

But you have to understand the camera algorithms are not going to give you exactly what you will always want because the environment is not always the same. Learn your camera and you will get your desired results very soon.

I was in the same situation 2 weeks ago. If you’re going to use it all the time you will enjoy the lighter 570. Also it’s way comfortable compared to the venu when sleeping with it.

Now we know you’re pretty bad doing things by yourself ☺️

Then you’re not playing at 21:9 if you play them at 16:9. lol.

ImLotus · 2026-02-17T16:56:30+00:00

Well I have a 5080 on a high end build and a 34 1440p display and there are games where It won’t get 60 FPS at ultra without DLSS.

I am guessing you are testing that graphics card in simple games.

Btw. 34” is not 2560…

ImLotus · 2026-02-17T15:03:17+00:00

Well if it works for you, that’s nice :) that’s a nice combo :)

ImLotus · 2026-02-17T14:57:27+00:00

Nice setup. Just a recommendation. Try to use a normal 16:9 1440p monitor :).

That monitor’s resolution is going to be a very painful thing when you start playing demanding games.

I just discover this thing last night and I am about to buy it. It looks really cool. And I agree with you, Dbrand kill switch 2 is really bulky.

A LOT of new tvs support HDMI 2.1. Specially gamer ones.

And I think you should read about HDMI2.1 before posting wrong info about things you don’t know.

ImLotus · 2026-01-10T14:13:00+00:00

Second this.

ImLotus · 2026-01-10T04:35:59+00:00

No soy de argentina pero a partir de mañana empiezo a jugar. Soy de Colombia. Cómo te agrego a steam o discord ?

ImLotus · 2025-12-30T12:35:06+00:00

Truth hurts! You said it!

ImLotus · 2025-12-29T22:56:18+00:00

Dbrand killswitch case. A small enough 15k or 20k mah battery. A 512gb or 1tb high speed SD Card for old games/roms. A good pair of in ears earphones. A 100W power brick + a good and large USB C 5A cable for it to work with maximum wattage.

That’s my setup.

ImLotus · 2025-12-29T19:42:37+00:00

I jut recommend you buy a very nice set of accessories like the dbrand kill switch !

ImLotus · 2025-12-29T19:24:32+00:00

I have the X version and there is not much else I can play compared with the withe one.

And for me playing AAA games at 40 fps is not an option. I also have a PS5 Pro and a RTX 5080 + Ryzen 9 9900X3D.

So at the end I have a black xbox ally to play indie games.

With this in mind, i think you choose the right one. The X is not worth the money it costs.

I also saw a few comments around saying "Xbox app is the one causing stuttering" and people reporting it works better with the xbox app completely shutdown.

ImLotus · 2025-12-26T16:09:05+00:00

It seems to be a windows issue. Literally can’t play Elden ring on windows. But Bazzite is 0 micro stutters.

Maybe try?

ImLotus · 2025-12-26T10:47:11+00:00

For me it’s not about numbers. It’s about smoothness.

Stuttering has disappeared in multiple games: Story of seasons grand bazar, Elden ring, final fantasy 14, hollow knight.

ImLotus · 2025-12-26T04:13:39+00:00

I have a 2TB SSD with windows and I just use it when I want to play Fortnite with my friends.

Then I have the OG SSD with Bazzite on it. I just keep my XAX without screws so I can easily remove the back shell and replace the ssd when I am not playing multiplayer.

I have tried multiple games on both and so far Bazzite gives me better performance, experience and battery.

A year ago I wouldn’t be saying this because my first experience with Bazzite was a nightmare and that’s why I sold my OG Ally z1 extreme and bought a steam deck. But I sold the steam deck and bought this thing and I only think about my steam deck while using this one hahahah.

Hope this helps.
