Happy to hear that you guys! I hope I wasn't too harsh on you :)

That would be interesting, and it would totally be possible if they'd allow for customizations. I think the navigation is already showing your speed, too. But I haven't really tested it. Reddit users did say though that you have to keep your phone screen on for navigation to work, which makes it kinda useless.

Hey there! That's awesome, I hope you get more use out of these than I do. I'm sure that for some people these are really useful. Let me know how it goes when you get them!

So, that's actually an often asked question, without an answer. Even Realities has - to the best of my knowledge - not released what type of AI runs these glasses. But from my testing, it's definitely a language model, and it's a bigger one for sure. It even has internet access (or pretends to), as I for example asked it for the most recent U.S. election pools and it answered. All answers I have gotten are 3-5 pages long, that you need tap through, yes. There's something very annoying that happens though, and that is that the AI tries to "format" the out, with markdown. # Weather in Dubai **Today**: 32 degrees Celsius Something like this, which the software wasn't able to interpret at all, and it's wasting space. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

@@TechWandererYT When you press the button and ask questions, how well can the glasses capture your voice? For instance, will a soft whisper or murmur in a quiet library be captured?

So, I just tried whispering and they did pick it up, no problem. Despite the phone being in another room, so I have to assume that they have at least one microphone. Fun fact, I also asked it if it is based on ChatGPT, and it said no, it is in fact based on Perplexity AI.

@@TechWandererYT awesome! Thanks for sharing this!

@@yl9739 Any time, let me know if you have any other question!

Agree, I hope that in my lifetime we'll get something closer to 'contact lenses' that we can put in or something. Long shot, hah! But that I'd see myself wear more than these things.

That's my feeling exactly, and I wish all these positive shills on KZbin would have been more honest. I guarantee you that none of them are still wearing them. Excuse my language, but it disgusts me that people 'trick' others into buying things for their own gain. These glasses are really cool tech, but as you said, they're a gimmick for 99% of people. I have no doubt that the 1% will find them very useful, for let's say talks, presentations, etc - but the way they're marketed (everyday smart glasses for everyday people) is misleading, and will lead to bad customer sentiment over time. Just like you, if I was able to return them, I would. For both of our sake, I hope that they will push a lot of firmware updates in the next months that may make them more useful. Thanks for watching, John!

Hi Jake! I've only tried them with myself if that makes sense, as a German-native. I would have to agree with what other reviewers have said - just like the Teleprompter, they're not 'real time' - things move but it takes a second or two I'd say. There's zero chance that you could pick up a real conversation with someone that doesn't take breaks in speaking I think. The biggest problem is that there's only two handful of languages. My wife is Polish, for example, which isn't supported. Having said that, there's two translation options. One that is included (at least to a certain extend), and one that is paid. Maybe the paid version is better/faster? If you're truly interested in this, let me know what you'd like me to test and I'll make a quick video. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

@@TechWandererYT I'd LOVE to see a good test of the translation. There are pretty much ZERO videos on youtube that go over that part in detail (the best I found was a single video that mentions the slowness). Personally, I travel a fair bit and being able to pick up on conversations at least enough to understand would be 100% worth a paid sub for me if it worked.

That is a very interesting detail that I was unaware of - thanks for pointing it out! Based on the INMO Go's, I did assume that they use manufacturing in Shenzhen somewhere, but I wasn't aware that there's more than that. There's probably even more of them. This makes me think that Even Realities is merely better at designing and marketing. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Nikolaos 👋🏻 I'm glad you found this review fair and useful. I do think this is the future, and that this is just the first version. And to be fair, the battery life is amazing, and they look good. I believe that, should Even Realities survive for a few years, they will come out with versions that potentially fix all of these. If they had microphones and speakers, I maybe would end up using them. They don't necessarily need to add a camera, and this may be a key differentiator for them, but they should improve the way we actually use them. The user experience is just not great. Thanks for watching!

@@michaelhabada3493 Hi Michael! That’s a very interesting question. I don’t think the teleprompter would move fast enough. Plus, the feature must really hear you as it recognizes the words and then moves forward in the text (or lyrics). In a loud environment this might not work. Honestly I’m not even sure if a word they is sung would be recognized. If you’re really interested in this, I could test it for you.

Hi Jet Martin 👋🏻 Thank you so much, your words mean a lot. This video was easily 25-30 hours of work but I thought it was very important to have a more balanced video on KZbin. There are SO MANY SHILLS that say nothing but positive things (which is why I bought them myself). Not here, hehehe. Nothing but brutally honest videos on my channel. I don't really care what Even Realities thinks (though I hope they take the feedback to heart, and I am happy to help them and provide more feedback if they'd reach out). But people like you that view and get value out of this video are the top priority. As for prescription, no, they are the "normal" glasses. I did wear glasses until a few years ago, when I had LASIK done. Since then, I'm almost 20/20 and happy that I did it to be honest. It was such a quick and painless procedure, and I wish I had done it earlier. Hope it helps!

@@SomeJohndoe that sounds like a plan! I think as long as you order them while being able to return them, that’s good. I had to import mine from the U.S., so there is no returning mine. I do hope that they push all the updates in the world, but only time will tell. Thanks for watching!

@@islamyutube thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! It will be a very interesting experience coming from the Ray-Ban’s to the G1’s. I hope you enjoy them! My biggest problem honestly is that, to make the most profit, they market them as being a mass-product. But in reality, they’re useful for a small niche of people. The rest will without a doubt be disappointed. Since battery life is an issue for you (which totally makes sense!), these might be a good fit for you!

Agree they look the best. And many issues can be fixed, while some can. Nevertheless, I review what I have on hand, not what may come in the future. The company for all we know can go bankrupt tomorrow (it probably won’t, but it could). Plus, by that time, these updates come, there may be a version 2.

Hopefully not quite that long, hah! With Meta's Orion on the horizon, I'm guessing 2-3 years before we have something most people are willing to wear regularly (but too expensive for the masses), and in 4-5 years maybe we have tech that many people can afford and is comfortable and powerful enough. Here's hope! 🤞🏻

Thanks for watching and commenting, Michael! Many of these issues can indeed be fixed or at least improved with a firmware update. The most important once can't though. No speakers, no vibration feedback, clunky controls - all of which make this somewhat unusable for 'everyday life', but potentially very useful for 'special occasions' (like meetings or presentations). It is indeed a first version and I tried being as fair as possible, while also giving a real review. There are so many over-positive, clearly sponsored "review" videos on KZbin, it was time that someone puts in the work and talks about how they really feel. I hope that Even Realities improves a lot with software, but like Marques (MKBHD) always says, you buy a product for what it can do today, not what it may be able to do tomorrow. Thanks again for watching!

Glad it was helpful, Raymo!

Wow, that's a wild use case! Do you publish this stuff somewhere? I never looked outside of a crane. 😅

I agree! Much much better overall.

Hi Iron Fur! Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and sharing your product designer experience. Here are my thoughts on this: A good amount of people would pay more for a camera that delivers better results, see the Pocket 3 for example. While the Sony RX0 had a 1" sensor, it lacked a lot of other things. No front display, no slow motion, no ecosystem or good app, and worst of all: a 35mm equiv focal range. Unusable for vlogging! Especially when compared to the Pocket 3 with 20mm, or the Action 5 Pro's maximum of 10mm. Given the chance, I think a lot of people would buy a Pocket 3 without a gimbal in an Action Camera format. It would have to be marketed differently, for sure, as the traditional action camera folks would absolutely hate it. And that's probably one of the big issues here.

@@TechWandererYT I think a lot of people were expecting a pocket 3 camera within the action 5 Pro. Hopefully they will eventually do something similar.

​@@TechWandererYT The RX0 ii has a flip screen that can face front like the Insta 360 Ace Pro, could take video up to 960 fps(albeit low resolution) 1080 @ 120, Focal length was 24mm, a bit tighter than the 20mm of the Pocket 3 The app was bad though, software is not Sony's strong suit. It wasn't perfect but was positioned to be a "premium" Gopro using a 1" sensor that people are still wanting today and they did it 7 years ago. The technical issue with a 1" sensor is the DOF actually becomes shallow enough to be noticeable, neccesitating an autofocus. Problem is once you start shaking moving elements of the autofocus mechanism (say attaching the camera to a motorbike) it gets blurry, Sony compromised by having the AF lock once it started filming. I think the main reason we haven't seen 1" sensor action cams besides the RX0 is the focus issue. I think it will be solved eventually, just depends if that is DJI, Gopro or Insta 360.

@@ironfur9150 I'll add just two things: the RX0 has a 24mm focal length, that's a 35mm full frame equivalent. Honestly, that was probably the biggest issue with this camera. And when it comes to the DOF, that would be a benefit for a lot of people that take video 'more seriously'. I do agree though, once of these companies will solve it. For example, the latest Huawei Mate-XT (the triple-foldable phone) has a variable aperture lens, which can switch between f/1.4 and f/4.0. The latter will still not make everything in the back visible, but it's a huge step into the right direction. I honestly can't wait for this!

Based on how this video is doing and the comments, we are definitely not alone. Hopefully they’ll take note. 👀

Hah, I take it you wouldn't want one like this?

you and me both! 😂 Thanks for watching!

Please do, it's an open discussion!

@@TechWandererYT - first is physical...a bigger sensor in an action can will hardly get wide enough when it's easy for a small sensor, and heat dissipation. - then there is the bokeh problem, action cam are here to get all the juice of whatever is happening, with bokeh, you now need an AF system..wich can miss the scene. - the AF system becomes a weakness, because of mobile parts needed to make it work, so now your action cam cannot take big falls. in short, action cam are made bcause it answer those 30 % who actually use it as such....innovation is welcome of course, but it will be really hard.

Good points, thank you! I have faith that with enough competition, they will figure it out. I think a camera like this may need to be marketed in a different way (not for Action) for the reasons you mentioned. That should take care of most of the issues, as vloggers, travelers and people at home with family and friends probably won't throw the camera on the ground with 50 miles per hour speeds, or record for hours on end. Hopefully we will be given the choice! 😅 Thank you so much for commenting and watching!

@@TechWandererYT ur welcome ;)

That sounds like a case for a) a refund yes or b) the DJI support. This doesn't right despite my critical take on this camera. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that an iPhone 11 overall for everyday situations will be better or at least as good as the Action 5 Pro, unless you want to do action stuff.

@@TechWandererYT it was the low light footage capability I was attracted too as my osmo was overheating at 4k and my insta360 was broken and sent for repair to China I recorded footage and don’t want to mess with studio adjustments and it was so fuzzy I released a video and took it down after a few days. My next video with the horizon lock made me feel sick watching it back as if I was in a fishing boat I will need to contact DJI about this also I feel. I took the service cover insurance at purchase

Hi! Which links don't work for you so I make sure they do. Cheers!

@@TechWandererYT Hello! Thanks for getting back to me. Mainly all of them besides the Spigen ones, I believe.

@@zk666e I just tested them, they all work for me. :( Where are you based? These links are geo-enabled, so they forward to your country's Amazon. If they don't pop up, they might not be available there unfortunately.

@@JoeBleaux69 thanks for watching! I’d love an action camera that has background separation, waterproofing and some ruggedness. Imagine an ultra wide angle lens with a Pocket 3 sensor, but in an Action 5 Pro body. You’d sacrifice the gimbal, but you’d gain being able to use it anywhere. Even under water. Imagine being able to have that time of quality underwater, or in the dark while it’s raining. Cinematic video in your pocket!

1 inch sensor for better low light, autofocus for close shots and background separation would be almost enough. The same or almost the same body electronic stab when it's bright outside, maybe even optical stab. They might even release special compact gimbal for night filming so you can turn off EIS completely. Yes it won't be as durable, but in this body it will easily survive just some occasional drops. HDMI output or 1080@60fps in UVC would be cool too for IRL streamers i would buy one for sure. And if you need a real action camera there might the version like we have now

that would be the team!

@@JoeBleaux69 I’d LOVE that. But Apple is not in the camera business. Yet. iPhones overall are actually really good. But we burn through the batteries so fast, and if you’re in warmer climates like I am, the iPhone overheats too. Otherwise getting a sensor like the iPhone into an action camera would be superb!

That would definitely be a huge step forward!

Happy to hear it. Though I know that a lot of “traditional action camera” user will be unhappy with this. As the demographic changes, they become less important though.

I actually thought about getting the RX0 recently. I saw it used in China while traveling. Should have bought it. 🤣

@@TechWandererYT you will do good invest definitely 👍

@@HakimeEdel I think the best thing about the 8k is a crispier 4K image, hah. And the zoom that you can do into the sensor when recording in 4K. Both very valuable for the right people.

It's actually useless regardless. Because there's *so many artifacts* in the 8k footage it's really not wroth it.

@@KindOldRaven yeah, i think same

@@KindOldRaven the image is more forced to 8k, as if it was stretched from 4k to 8k by software

@@HakimeEdel oh don’t get me started on GoPro 😭 I have no idea what they’re doing but there’s plenty of videos on KZbin discussing their downfall. Sad really.

@@TechWandererYT I've been studying all those cameras for years, and gopro seems to have been lost, it clings to its old glory and hopes that marketing will retain and attract new customers, basically they have the highest bitrate, but the high bitrate for social networks is also pointless, and 53-68 Mbps is and quite enough for high-quality 4k video and higher framerates on KZbin

@@TechWandererYT the only thing I see is the best ratio invested and obtained with dji, however, there is no perfect action camera, neither 360 camera nor pocket camera, but dji at least makes some changes that are more important and useful for most people, and still has an affordable price compared to the competition

@@HakimeEdel DJI and Insta360 I’d say are both amazing for consumers. More competition, more changes. That’s why I still hope GoPro gets their act together too!

@@innmotionmedia22 can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thanks for watching!

@@HakimeEdel generally agree, minor changes year on year. Indta360 Ace Pro 2 has decent upgrades. Definitely a better upgrade than the Action 5 Pro to be honest. But neither are “must have”’s in my book!

@@TechWandererYT if we ignore the 10 bit disadvantage, then it is definitely the best purchase for the highest quality or profit, the gopro is only better on a clear white day, as soon as it is night or dark it becomes ridiculous with 1.9 compared to insta360 or dji

@@HakimeEdel thank you and thanks for watching!

@@TechWandererYT I think you made a good video, and a good question, even though a lot of users complain, and there are a lot of videos on youtube or other networks, the producers seem to not care about customers or users, and they spread to more that it is ok to have a choice, but the problem is that they ignore what is important, what the users want or need

@@tommyli8726 first of all, thanks for watching. Generally the more “pro” you go, the more background blur you want in your video. That goes hand in hand with more editing, too though. You’d have to then put other clips over yourself (b-roll) which makes things much more cinematic. No blur is more for out and about, minimal editing, more “raw” videos. But everyone has their own preferences. I wouldn’t call one or the other “a joke”.

@@tommyli8726 I think that the dji osmo pocket is the best purchase up to 550 usd if we ignore that it is not an action camera, and that it is not for all weather conditions, but for such a small camera and even with a gimbal, senozor 1.0 and 10bit is something incredible not only for beginners, but also for professionals who don't want to pay several thousand dollars for a more expensive, better quality camera, and for social networks, KZbin itself has unbeatable image quality compared to all other action, 360, pocket cameras in that range

@@NishakaWickrama well, actually you can. Just look at the footage of the just released Insta360 Ace Pro 2. It blows the Action 5 Pro away in low light. I’m happy the footage and camera works for you. Genuinely happy, as you’ve spent your hard earned cash on it. This video isn’t targeting people that have it already, but the ones that have yet to decide to buy it. And they should be aware of the issues.

It’s a decent light for sure, I don’t use it anymore since I wanted something bigger after a while, but it the 60 watts is enough for you (in controlled lighting), this is a banger light. I’d consider getting the bigger light some too if so.

Imagine disagreeing with someone and wanting to block them for it. 🤣

@@MrZACATECANO100 no settings changed. Will make an update video testing them again with the new firmware update. Hoping to do it this week!

@@MrZACATECANO100 he didn't put it in Super Night mode 🤣.

@@abdeslamadli750 thanks, but the purpose of this video is “out of the box” for most consumers. Not edited or heavily changed settings like everyone else.

Hey 👋🏻 Awesome to hear from you guys. If you shoot me an email to [email protected], I'm happy to send anything your way. But here's what I know right away: Action 5 Pro and DJI Mic 2 (tx and rx) both had the latest firmware I've just now (minutes ago) updated to the last firmware, but happy to provide anything to help make this better via email.

DJI, can you tell me why the DJI 5 Pro has a more cropped Ultrawide FOV than the DJI 3? The DJI 3's Ultrawide FOV is much wider, yet it should still be 155°. How is this possible?

@@damondersonne We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The cropping frame and the actual final FOV (Field of View) employ different streaming strategies. Please refer to the final output for the actual effect. We appreciate your support.

@@DJISupportGlobal DJI , please bring a firmware update for enable and disable HDR

@@uvodipbhadra7453 Hi there. Thank you for your feedback. We will forward this to the relevant department for further evaluation. Thank you.
