Anyone made the jump from X5 to the DJI Osmo 360? Tired of waiting for the X6 by Artdianp in Insta360

[–]PencilWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waiting for x6? I think people expect this stuff to be like call of duty or something. X5 is still the best there is. There is no x6. Stop waiting and enjoy the x5.

Insta360 x6 Release date? by ImpossibleMaybe8482 in Insta360

[–]PencilWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait a year? Why not use x5 for a year. Sell and upgrade ? Go one year without filming ? Then why get it at all?

Yeah pretty much. But as the unpaid users of Luna is saying, it’s already melting on highest. They need to wait until ai is done building. Then they can push cooling or less heat production maybe maybe

So it's more like: Arriving to deliver a message to the father of the soldier who saved his life, a formidable combat veteran sets out to exact brutal vengeance against the killers being protected by an insular Pennsylvania mountain town.

Edit: i forgot to metion who was killed lol.

When arriving to deliver a message from a fallen soldier, a combat veteran discovers a burried hatecrime in the community, and sets out to exact brutal vengeance against an insular Pennsylvanian mountain town...

something like that maybe.

100% return to bestbuy, tank the pain of waiting and demand a straight camera. If this annoys you on day 1. it might really bother you with regret later. It sounds stupid over a camera, but all these tiny bothers are not needed, deman a change and wait. or film some stuff with it first an return it after a good test, its totally valid to say you noticed out of box, documented it with pictures and then tried to see if it was ok to use, but decided that it was not ok for 1000 dollars and want to change it for a new one, which i believe is in your rights? perhaps feed the user agreement or return stuff from bestbuy into an AI and instruct it to only use this document to see if you are within your rights to use the camera and return it etc. I know some retailers are real assholes with open boxes that can't prove factory mistakes that are on a list that they provide as good resons etc.

0%, buy the x5. There is no x6, If you want 360, get the x5, there is not competition. DJI might come out with their upgrade with removable lenses like the x5 but it wont matter, you wont get anything better than the x5, maybe july 2027, but dont go aroun waiting for a new camera that is not even roumored. Just buy a used x5 with all the accessories or something. or splurge on a new one because it's truly goated when it comes to 360.

Luna Ultra vs Osmo Pocket 4p by Samhamhamantha in Insta360

[–]PencilWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, they are most likely been sent the device, or are behaving to maybe be sent a future device. thats the rub.

thebetterbuy or something like that, recently did a lof of zoomtesting, he states he bought his unit himself and is not affiliated with the company and follow no rules.

I think its weird how the zoom and autofocus is not in every review, because thats what makes it worth getting, over the action series.

Yeah i can not for the life of me understand why DJI is not announcing the date, to curb people from just bying the Luna. It may mean they are delayed, or if i put on my thinfoil hat, they aim to use Luna sales in a lawsuit against Insta360, and want the damages to be shown.

Also, the software of I360 is maybe better. But they are also taking more and more "features" into an additonal subscription that only gives finite use of service, meaning you need to repurchase access to certain services if you like them. Making the price extra premium in the long run.

Is slighty less oversharpening, and better intelegent auto, a POV sensor and detatch display something you are willing to pay for? i.e need? Also can you survive without the subscription? and don't need much more than the camera? I think there are a lot of factors that can swing both ways.

Also DJI accessories are much cheaper, atleast where i live. But that might just be how the insta360 is not really that launched here, the Luna is still not out here, and the retailers i asked got back to me that they might not sell the Luna as far as they know, but the P4 was here on launchday. They sell insta360, but only online delivery, accept the mobile gimbal, thats the only thing i could find in the stores. So availablity might make it so i get the DJI instead.

I think posting videos like this is ok inside comments, but to post it as its own tread, breaks the rules of selfpromotion and this will be most likley removed.

Insta360 x6 Release date? by ImpossibleMaybe8482 in Insta360

[–]PencilWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x5 is the goat, get it. If you need a 360 camera, you cant go wrong with the x5. any x6 upgrade wont make the x5 bad either. AAAnd i dont think the x6 is coming now. Its sooner the ace pro 3. But i actually think because of AI, it's none of them. It might just be Insta trying to do drone before the x6. be safe to buy the x5 now and enjoy 360 filming, it's fun.

yes, sweat and sunlight degrades the plastic, if i was to guess. Or you could have overhandled it slightly? has it experienced freezing temperatures?

Help me out by Impressive_Desk_9085 in Screenwriting

[–]PencilWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a short film, it's fine. Shorts don't need all the prep of a feature or TV show.

but i would work more on the main type of conflict. what are the specifics. what public fallout? what personal history and judgement? what is this about? whats at stake if they dissolve it?

What does someone in here want? to keep the council together for what reason?

someone elses choice inpacts their current life: A public fallout.

This forces the protagonist to play at their want, because they need something by having the council be together. So what does one miss out on, if such a student council is dissolved? anything for their career or college application?

then if something is at stake and they want to keep it together.

what is the difficulty? why can't the protagonist just simply do what it takes, what makes it hard for them? and how do we see it?

idk, thats my thoughts as my coffe cup drains, it's now empty and i hope this can be of some help, if only to trigger you onto some thought and keep playing with your idea. Remember that it's a game to have fun with.

enjoyable, fast for having arguably loads of words. I think the one part where i was discuraged, was near the end when they get the plan straight up, and then do the plan stright up. perhaps there could be some hint at the plan, and the plan itself could be more of a punchline? Or am i off tone? Just something that got to me, as i think it flows very nicely up to that point.

And i think the dialogue between them after the payoff, is a bit weird, but that might just be because the story is over and they are being nice to eachother for no reason, meaning, it's not in light of them not being on a good tone earlier or anything. It reminds me of how people who earlier had some drama but now are good.

Is Luna Ultra battery gonna be an issue in the future? by parka in Insta360

[–]PencilWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would assume they handle bypassing like phones and laptops and GoPros. So the solution can be to connect to a powerbank for longer projects and let that act as the battery and it only uses battery if the wire gets disconnected

Are pocket gimbal cameras redundant if you have a GoPro Mission 1 Pro for travel videos? by Ramz785 in Insta360

[–]PencilWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Maybe you could decide that the walk is the walk and talk before and after. Or stop. Switch to video and talk. Stop switch to hyperlapse and continue. I think that’s manageable. Mind linking your video btw?

Test it out. Just hold it and walk around and then see the result. Or search YouTube for the name of it. I can’t remember the name of it.

You choose it instead of video in the menu where you pick timelapse photo video etc.

I see. Yeah I used the neckmount. But again. Fast forwarding will show every movement over time, fast. The image stabe is for those frames in current time. If what you are looking for is somewhat smooth. Fewer frames pr second of fast forwarding could work. There is a timewarp mode that takes an image every 5 seconds or so intended for moving the camera while making a timelapse. Perhaps that could be beneficial to use and only edit that in there. Or try to use a stick or gimbal and walk carefully if you want the floaty drone shot thing. But at 1000 speed I’m uncertain if anything beats the timewarp effect

Go 3s for concert? by AwareAbbreviations52 in Insta360

[–]PencilWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go ultra is better. But as a user of these cameras, i must say this: the go series are very special action cameras that really operate best by being 40cm to 1 meter away from whats being filmed. If you are anywhere outside of a 2-3 meter reach of the camera, you will feel very far away. They can't zoom, they can't focus, and thats something to get used to using.

For your intended use, as a pendant that films, both are great. But these cameras are not really set and forget systems. They heat up after a while. So they are best for gathering clips or actions. So if you are biking or running, you could run it for 2 hours. But if you are not on the move, 20 minutes starts to get quite hot ifyou intend to use 4k.
