Thanks Otto for a terrific presentation. I’ve only had my Action Cam a few days so it’s been so helpful. Cheers from an Australian fan.

[@OttoJulian_]

Good one bro ☺️

[@OttoJulian_]

Thank you so much 😀

[@veroicakalinn563]

Mr.Otto. could you also please help me with my confusion. I am getting confused everytime I watch videos on youtube whether to use in built slow-motion mode in DJI pocket 2 (or action 2 or DJI OM 5) or simply shoot videos at 4k 120 FPS and slow it down in post? Could you please make a video on this topic as well. I m sure many of us have this confusion. Thanks in advance Mr. Otto. We just love your videos and the way you explain.

[@OttoJulian_]

thank you Veroica. Short answer, the built-in slow motion is for people that will not be doing any post edition, and the file you get is already a "slow motion" file (you can't go back to 120fps on most cases. If you "manually" do the slow motion, at 120fps, you get more flexibility in terms of speed (interpret footage at 24fps and then play with different speeds, speed ramps, etc)

[@veroicakalinn563]

Nice video Mr Otto. Please make a cinematic solo b roll tutorial with action 2. Also please note that, whenever you make any cinematic tutorial video, please make longer length clips because I just love to learn and its easy to learn when the clip is long. Also it help increase the length of the final video which would be great to watch and learn. Thanks in advance

[@OttoJulian_]

thanks for the input Veroica! Will try to do that as suggested, my only concern is that most viewers don't have a lot of patience to watch longer clips of the same, so finding a balance is not so easy. BTW, when you said "Solo" B Roll Tutorial, what did you mean by "solo"? one person film crew?

[@veroicakalinn563]

@@OttoJulian_ yes just one person. As most of the time we are alone when we travel and we hardly have anyone to help us shoot our cinematic videos.

[@modesdecoyanza9192]

Buen video Otto. Pero para poder seguir tus instrucciones y comentarios traducidos al español, y estar atento a las imágenes... hay que verlo varias veces y continuamente parar el video para leer tus instrucciones y volver a ver con atención las imágenes. Muchas gracias por enseñarnos. Solo una pregunta: ¿para manejar la cámara es necesario descargar en el móvil la aplicación, igual que sucede con los drones (tengo el mini-2)? Un saludo desde La Coruña (España).

[@OttoJulian_]

Hola, la cámara se puede usar sin la aplicación. Pero la aplicación Mimo se necesita para activar la cámara la primera vez que se usa. saludos!

[@sugboanontheexplorer9722]

Nice video ❤

[@OttoJulian_]

thank you so much!

[@WM-eg4gh]

I'm happy to say I own one :-) I hope they improve the lanyard because I feel like my movement is very heavy and rapid. I have yet to test it. No sign of having it dropped yet and then again, I don't plan to drop it anytime soon XD very high quality built. I love the voice control on it to shutdown. Wish they also enable it for Power On. I'm getting lazier.

[@OttoJulian_]

hello test test! I do believe it's a little great device, but people are not quite happy about it quickly overheating...

[@WM-eg4gh]

@Otto Julian true true it was either this, GoPro Hero10, or insta360. I guess for me, it was this. Now GoPro Hero 10 has improved their firmware since their release as well as new battery, it is better for those wanting to record for longer action. I guess for me, my use-case is something super super small, compact, portable than GoPro and Insta 360. This fits the bill but at a heavy sacrifice due to such a design without appropriate cooling. I guess they will improve this in their next device or hopefully a new modular attachment that can cool this Action 2. Though I can only imagine.

[@ayazhov5559]

Hey Otto, is that possible to attach the magnetic part to the necklase board in a vertical position? (is the entire surface of the board is magnetic?)

[@OttoJulian_]

Yeah the entire surface is magnetic

[@soamjena]

And how fast is the QUICK CAPTURE ? Like in GoPro, it takes 2 seconds to start shooting when you hit quick capture button

[@OttoJulian_]

yeah there is a delay on both devices. After you press the button, The Gopro 10 starts recording exactly at 2.8 seconds. The Action 2 at around 2 seconds.

[@Ozpeter]

@@OttoJulian_ ... if it works at all. Often, mine says there is no SD card. Then you have to press the button again to start recording. Now that could be the SD card I use, but there's no other card-related error.

[@OttoJulian_]

@@Ozpeter I've tested this about a hundred times now with the internal memory and a microSD card and I don't get this kind of problem. The only problem that I ran into a couple of times was not holding it long enough and therefore powering on the Action 2 instead of triggering the "quickcapture" (They call it Snapshot)

[@snithereens]

Thanks for your review! Otto: did you hear anything about a possible successor for Insta360 One X2?

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi, you are welcome! not really, all I know is that the insta GO2 now has 64GB of internal memory

[@OttoJulian_]

Do you know anything about it??😁

[@snithereens]

@@OttoJulian_ oddly, my reply from yesterday seems to be vanished... I was asking you about the iPad Air4 64 GB as being suitable to do postproduction with Insta360 Studio. Does the 64 GB flash have an impact on the workflow? Is there any reason to buy a 256 GB, as long as I´m sure to be able to store my daily project on an external SSD? Would I need the bigger model? How many minutes of 5,7 360 raw material could I store on a 64 GB iPad?

[@OttoJulian_]

Maybe it went to the spam. You can use the 64GB without any issues, but yeah having an external SSD DRIVE is recommended. Right now I don't have the data of how much you could store on those 64GB, it's a lot of files even at 5.7K but that will depend on the duration as well...

[@Luidoly]

Hi Otto: Can you charge this camera WHILE FILMING THRU the USB C PORT on the power module or Dual combo I have been looking at some videos that now have charging cages, I would appreciate a response Thank You Luidoly

[@OttoJulian_]

hi, yes you can

[@Luidoly]

@@OttoJulian_ Thank You Otto, that is a deal breaker for me, to be able to have a power bank attached for continuous charging while filming. That clears up a lot of things. Luidoly

[@KolkataRealEstateProperty]

Hi I just purchased the device a day back. When i record in 1080 or 4k @24fps, observed screen flickering couple of times in low light. Is it happening in all devices or mine only. Secondly if I play a clip there is no sound. How do I adjust volume

[@OttoJulian_]

hello, on the settings you can select the anti-flicker to match your region, or you can set it to auto and test it out. When doing the playback, there is a speaker icon on the top-right, double check that it's not muted

[@DarioPanara]

Your review should be illegal HAHAHA... anytime I see something reviewed by you, makes me wanna swipe my CC !!! Good things this time I already have the Insta360 Go2 😂 Btw... as always great job done Otto!

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks Dario!! I'll have my test results soon!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, let's see if the next video makes you sell the Go2 lol

[@DarioPanara]

@@OttoJulian_ I'm already on the edge of selling... but still, the stabilization of insta360 is epic

[@OttoJulian_]

@@DarioPanara if it is like the one on the X2 (which I assume it is) then you are right!!

[@stevenritt5689]

Otto when I used the lanyard it only goes on tight upside down, photos I've found show it upside-down, problem is its shooting upside down with lanyard is this right? If so how to I flip the image? What am I doing wrong ? Spent a long time trying to make magnets working rightside up no luck.

[@OttoJulian_]

yeah the camera goes upside down on the lanyard. You can flip the image in post. To avoid having the video upside down you need to start recording with the camera already in the position that you want (If you start recording with the button upwards and then flip it around so the button is at the bottom then it will flip the image) hope it makes sense

Hi. It's a regular video mode, but with a time limit. You can set it to 10, 15 or 30 seconds

[@soamjena]

@@OttoJulian_ but is it accessible from quick capture button without switching on ?

@@OttoJulian_ and is there a 9:16 mode ?

[@OttoJulian_]

you have a nice budget, I'd look into a mirrorless camera, from Canon or Sony. Highly recommended the A7III, which is a bit older now but still very good, or the Sony 7C. By the end of the year they will have the new A7 IV available for shipping towards the $2.500 range.... hope this helps
