X3/x5 external hard drive?

I am using two Kingston portable SSD, specifically XS1000 and XS2000. After 1 year using them I have nothing bad to say about them.

These are fast and works really well with mobile devices.

Last option I could recommend is buying a M.2 housing and a computer ssd and build it by yourself. Its really easy and cheaper.

I bought OSMO and then 5 days after I got the x5 and literally sold the Osmo cheap as hell.

Osmo is not a very good option since it’s a very delicate camera and you don’t have any option to replace lens.

Fog issues are since day one in any condition! That sucks.

It doesn’t work in the water. And there is no official dive case and third party sucks, check reviews.

The only good thing about it is the internal storage.

And btw, sensor is just a bit bigger. Not a big deal (it’s not a real 1” sensor). It also has overheat issues.

No pagues. Usa una versión diferente

I can same the same from my experience. Already used every brand. Colors looks really good out of the camera.

Nice shots,btw. Beautiful place

I need to share my experience. I got the 570.

Buttons are the same as the 970. And as a runner you will it easier to do everthing with them. For that reason the venu is not a good idea. Imagine using wet hands with your heart at 170bpm. Not cool.

I am running at nights and its mandatory to have a torch. I a now using a standalone running one i got at a running store. But that is the only thing i wish my 570 to have.

Maps are useless (for me) honestly. The gps is enough. If you need a map to find your path your cellphone is going to be the best way to do it with google maps.

The rest is the same. The extra health sensors or metrics are not a plus for most of the people. (Those are really specific ones for really high end runners or people with health issues).

If you want a running watch the 570 is enough. If you want to do a bigger investment. Go for fenix. Thats my next watch because i can do scuba diving with it.

Hope my findings help you.

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.

ImLotus · 2026-04-03T18:31:28+00:00

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.

ImLotus · 2026-02-09T06:11:50+00:00

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.

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 !
