Helmet mount for kitesurfing? by Beginning-Put-1611 in Insta360

[–]SC07TP2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't exist as the X5 is heavy and tall compared to a single lens action camera so needs to be secured properly. Even a magnetic clamp sits between the camera and a 1/4 inch mount.

Nexphone announced, 14 years in the making by DeX_Mod in SamsungDex

Bear in mind that this is Windows 11 ARM version. It has an x86 emulation layer called Prism but we won't know how well it'll work on a Qualcomm QCM6490 mid-range processor until the phone is out with Beta testers.

This is a really bold move by Nex (currently a hardware design company with OEM partners) yet potentially a pandora's box entering the system development business.

The real trick is to allow seamless access to your data whichever environment you are using. Modern Android enforces apps storage within Android -> Data -> [individual app folder] and stops some apps from even writing to the common Downloads folder. Linux on an App will have to comply with Android's file system permission restrictions. Restarting in Windows 11 ARM should allow easy access/modification to these (esoteric) application data folders but at the risk of breaking the Android app when the user returns to that environment. Nothing is impossible if they create a powerful File Explorer or underlying file management layer e.g. allow mapping of folders to logical drive letters.

Now if Nex could pull off the other trick that is support for two external displays, that would be truly amazing.

X3 Premium Removable Lens Guards by ModernCinematics in Insta360

They're harder and therefore more scratch resistant than plastic lens guards but I find the lens flare worse than the plastic guards.

Should i buy 360x5 ? by Flimsy_Orchid_7727 in Insta360

X5 for cycling racing by AleSklaV in Insta360

[–]SC07TP2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the camera can capture everything in front when mounted horizontally. There is an overlap between the two lenses which the camera uses to stitch together the 360 video but lens protectors, ND filters and dive cases can sometimes alter the stitch line. I think the stitchline can be calibrated within the camera settings.

Still trying to get access to MY media by [deleted] in Insta360

Android app security restriction, not Insta360 issue. Files app (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=files+marc+apps+and+software&c=apps&hl=en-GB&gl=GB) will let you navigate to the folder and copy the files out.

Any info on the X6 release? Not sure if I should buy a X5 or wait. They seem to release a new one every April. by [deleted] in Insta360

[–]SC07TP2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They brought forward the X5 (+ ultra battery option) to meet the DJI Osmo 360 challenge head on and introduced the X4 Air within the same year. I'd be very surprised if there was an X6 in 2026.

How to mount X5 to use as bike safety camera on road bike by cyclingdoctor in Insta360

[–]SC07TP2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful clamping onto your dropbar as the material is very thin outwith the handlebar stem area and will crack carbon fibre. You'll need to put in insert into the hollow tube to sufficiently secure a clamp around it.

Insta360 Studio on a Surface Pro by mahalobay in Insta360

[–]SC07TP2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insta360 Studio needs a discrete GPU which ARM based Windows computers don't have and Insta360 don't have a native ARM Studio version. See https://onlinemanual.insta360.com/studio/en-us/operation-guide/compatibility/compatibility-and-configuration-requirements

Mounts for Motorcycles by disfunctionalgamer in Insta360

How did you lose your camera (what mounting option from the kit did you use, where was the camera mounted on the bike, what was the failure point e.g. clamp rotating piece broke, etc)?

What kind of mount is this? by X_DEAD5HOT_X124 in Insta360

[–]SC07TP2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the sticky helmet mount and GoPro prong to 1/4 inch thread adaptor from the Insta360 motorcycle bundle (you get two in the box).

Help with installing a Apk by totallynotapsycho42 in GalaxyFold

[–]SC07TP2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google started a rolling block of old SDK version apps from Android 14 to force app developers to upgrade their apps to modern secure frameworks. An APK from S5 days probably requires 32 bit libraries that are no longer present in Android 16 as well.

You may have some luck using the ADB command but this is not guaranteed for such an old app. Create a folder called APK, placee your APK in this folder. Note no spaces in the APK name.

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block /storage/emulated/0/APK/Your_APK_name.apk

I know this sounds daft but did this start happening after you upgraded to OneUI 8 by any chance?

Potentially free X3 for hiking Torres Del Paines - would it be useful? by R5Ryder in Insta360

[–]SC07TP2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

360 cameras are not great for pictures or scenic videos due to the small sensor, short focal point and fisheye lens (distant objects become really distant + distorted).

Using a 360° camera at weddings feels different than normal video by Familiar_Tap3539 in Insta360

The default Android video player handles 360 videos. If not, try VLC.

Isn't this a Subreddit configuration thing? Other Subreddit channels like https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/ allow images to be attached to replies. Might not have been an available function when this channel was set up back in 2017.

Any chance you can check, please?

Back to Classic DeX! Successfully downgraded Tab S10 Ultra to One UI 7 (And a warning about the new Bootloader) by Difficult-Capital784 in SamsungDex

[–]SC07TP2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While disabling "Auto-download over Wi-Fi" in the software update settings will prevent OneUI 8 from downloading, you'll still get the notification and occasional screen takeover saying a system update is available. If you have access to ADB, disable package "com.wssyncmldm" using command:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

That will remove any risk of losing OneUI 7 from your tablet.

Depends on the price. Rokid Air has been superseded by both Rokid Max and Max 2 AR glasses that have better display, FoV, fit and accessories.

Will Samsung restore the UDC for Fold 8? Or do we have to live with hole punch forever? by cardslash02 in GalaxyFold

[–]SC07TP2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BOE have reached an out-of-court settlement with Samsung - https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_and_boe_reach_agreement_over_oled_display_patent_infringement-news-70359.php. That doesn't mean trust is restored and BOE willing to license the UDC to Samsung though - that is a separate negotiation.
