Positives: 1. Very bouncy 2. Very fun to wear 3. Very fast 4. Widest toe box on a carbon plated shoe so far! I wore the Hoka Tecton x2 over winter, slightly firmer ride which I find trickier on loose stony paths and more likely to roll my ankle on. However speed wise there is no difference. Hoka is a much better colour for trails. I swapped to the ultrafly this summer as they are wider. I have uk size 11 4e feet. For fast running these are the widest shoes I can buy. (being wider than the carbon plated altra). I just squeeze in a uk size 12! They are still not wide enough. Could someone please make a 2e or 4e wide carbon plated shoe?

Currently working on a studio space so once that’s up and running I’ve got plenty to catch up on :)

That shot in this video is shot with my mirrorless camera which I use for all my sit down style shots. I’d need some bigger biceps to use that as a vlog camera 😂

In terms of vlogging, I’m talking about when I’m genuinely walking around/on the go where the portability for me outweighs say deep of field but will change between the two given the situation

Hope you get on well with it! No codes I’m afraid but I do have an affiliate link in the description :)

So handy right! People often thing I’m running along with a massive dslr but no it’s just this little guy 😂

I’ve only used the GO range from insta360 purely because of its portability for me in races. The quality as hopefully you can see is definitely a step up but can’t compare to the ace pro as haven’t used that product :)

@@BenIsRunning Thanks for the reply! I totally understand the appeal of the GO range for portability, especially during races where every bit of convenience matters. Your footage looks impressive, and it’s great to see that the quality is a step up. I might need to try out the GO range for those times when carrying the Ace Pro is just too cumbersome. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your insights!

For sure, totally respectable point…as the description reads “This camera was sent to me by Insta360 for the purpose of review however all my thoughts and opinions shared are very much my own. This is a product I genuinely use daily so this was a great opportunity to share hopefully some insight into how.” The video also clearly has displayed on screen “this is part of paid promotion” inline with KZbin policy so by no means intending to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes 🫡

@@BenIsRunning You describe it as a review but it's an advert. You have a relationship w/ Insta360 so how can it possibly be an independent review? Many KZbinrs think their subscribers are daft.

Its probably why people generally appreciate the likes of Ben Parkes more in terms of reviewing anything since he buys everything with 100% of his own money, whereas its a mixed bag elsewhere. Not saying it would happen, but if Ben Felton gave a really bad review of Soar or Adidas, do you think they'll send him free gear again in the near future? 🤔

It's said that the changes are minor... It's like buying a new IPhone each year... do you absolutely need it ? No, but you buy it because it's the latest in each category... There are already some comparisons out there if you want to watch

Take a nap, you’re cranky. Ben rules.
