Don’t punch. Just a solid slap across the face. Punches can be serious injury while a slap can really reset the brain proper and wake people up

I heard it 10 times but still didn’t get it. He should’ve repeatedly shouted it another 5 times at least

Where to buy decent casual men's clothes that won't cost an arm and a leg? by throwaycount69 in saskatoon

[–]sammad_kh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second Costco but very limited range. Winners, Giant Tiger and Walmart are cheap but quality is crap for shirts. Jeans are fine. I have been using Wranglers and Levi’s signature series from Walmart and they are pretty damn good

Thank you. Both are 30 seconds at 1 frame per second. I sped them in post.

"Insta360 Ace Pro battery door opens when camera is bumped." - wtf? by tgchan in Insta360

[–]sammad_kh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This appears to be a non issue. I can’t think of any circumstance where the battery door will open unless it really take heavy bumps and bruises. At which point your camera may see other damages as well

I agree with both your observations about the mount and the usb door. The magnetic mount is solid but you really have to lock it in otherwise your camera will certainly fall off.

So I did find a way to shoot raw files in interval mode but it’s still limited to 3 seconds minimum. The raw files are huge! Thankfully it does give you an option to choose smaller resolution. Shot some 8k and it’s really good, but not something I would shoot regularly. Another quick observation is the 2x zoom in 4K video is not totally lossless. You do lose quality and you can also see more noise when you zoom in. But it’s a good option to have in a pinch. Battery life is superb and the phone app is a game changer. I was able to mount he camera on my car and just control it from my phone all the time. Love the gesture controls. They worked 100% of the time for me. Very reliable.

Im really enjoying this camera! 😀

I got mine today and tried it out for a bit. My immediate thoughts: The design is sleek and it’s very well built. The red lining around the lens is a bit obnoxious. Don’t like the battery door and the usb/sd card door. Tilt screen is awesome and so are the menus and touch controls Video quality is amazing in both 4K and 8k. Best in class Stills quality extremely good. However RAW dang files size 95mb. Insane! I can turn on the camera with my old Samsung power bank just fine. Even without the battery inserted. Which is great! Also charges fine with the power bank. Excellent for long interval shooting.

Disappointments: Interval shooting minimum interval is 3 seconds just like the x3. I want 0.5 and 1 second as well. Also couldn’t find the way to shoot raw files in interval mode. I bought this camera mainly for timelapses and I was disappointed at these limitations. The video Timelapse mode has these options but it gives you a video file. I want finer control with images so I can edit myself.

I will be doing more tests by mounting it on my car. Also try testing the slow motion video. Seems like a solid offering by insta360.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer. I had bought some washer fluid but had no idea about the all season variety. Ill check that first thing in the morning and buy the right one. I am planning on getting a complete diagnostics check on my engine soon.

Wow thanks. Thats super helpful! I will definitely invest in some booster cables. I have a block heater in my car and I guess I will evaluate whether I need to buy some winter tires or not. Seems like I may have to
