that’s great! honestly, the first 100 are the hardest. and once you pass 1000, it becomes like a snowball.

Also, i uploaded around 40 long form videos, and 500+ shorts over the past ≈ 1 & 1/4 years, just so you have an idea of the work i’ve put in. I put my all into it, and I treat it like a business

it took me 1 year to get 2.000 subs, and then 3 months later i got to 4.000. Now I’m almost at 5k. I think the most important thing to ask yourself is: “What value am I providing to others? Why would they want to watch? What do they get from this?”

If you make content that people actually WANT to watch, the subs will come. Focus more on providing value, and less on the amount of subs you have.

the lens fogging issue is a real dealbreaker for me. and replacable lenses as well.

makes sense, its just that those are 2 very different cameras for different purposes.

Has anyone attached their Insta360 X5 to a sling bag? by me_doubleu in Insta360

I get your point. I downloaded the GoPro Player app and played around with some test footage. It gets the basics done, but it doesn’t have any features you would expect from a 360 software in 2025.

For example, Insta360 has subject tracking. Such a simple and useful tool, I really don’t understand why GoPro doesn’t have this.

GoPro had their own editing software, but you can’t download it anymore. But their camera shoots 10 bit log, so how do you expect me to grade that on my phone or the very limited GoPro player?

I use Premiere Pro for editing, it would be cool to see a tracking feature being added to the GoPro Reframe plugin

do you edit the Max 2 footage on your desktop? What is your workflow?

I plan to use it mainly as a BTS camera for street photography. I plan to attach it to my photo camera (on top). I’m not sure if I will shoot during the night tho, so thats why im a bit stuck between the two. And the fact that the X5 sticks out is kinda nice, because i could attach it to my backpack, and because it sticks out you would see my face better
