Hey guys, sorry for the massive delay again. I got a bit sick during the week and wasn't able to edit properly. But hopefully now video output SHOULD (i pray) be picking up. We have a lot of content coming. And for a sneak peek...we will be looking at M4 iPads, a massive thicc phone, and a 360...phone? But anyway, thank you for your recent support.

Personally for me after scratching the x2 lens once I no longer wanna get a 360 camera. And to make things worst mine had the premium lens guard on which pop open upon impact when the wind blow the tripod down

@@YoutiaoVlogs Yikes. That doesn't sound good.

[@YoutiaoVlogs]

@@TopGadget_ the worst is that I got it for one month and that happened, and then it took like 3-4 months after paying $250 to change the lens because they don't have stocks

Thank you for this video! I am mind-blowing that I am the 333 subscriber. You both, are hilarious. Excellent content, while thoroughly and honestly explaining the pros and cons. The icing on the cake, the montages.😅😂😅😂. Keep up the great work. 🙏🖖✌

[@TopGadget_]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tubeit365]

@@TopGadget_ Totally. Also point to ponder: I'm a older than 45 year old gen Xer... LOL which I'm sure is outside the predicted demographic. That I found this entertaining, means a lot of others will too...✌

[@HansKeesom]

It is a camera that is good in some situations, like unexpencted and dynamic ones, but not good in others, like lowlight and expected situations. In the later you can still use your iphone of a better camere with a zoom lens.

[@CoolStoryBroWhoCares]

Did they sponsor this and tell you noy yo let us know this wasnt sponsored?

[@TopGadget_]

No. That's why I made the joke with the laser pointer.

[@sgct89]

It's not sponsored, it's just sponsored.

Homie got the Uncle Roger impression down pat

[@eisenklad]

from what i heard/read, people who already have X2/X3, they were hoping for better low light performance. but i guess they didnt want to diminish their own One RS 1-inch360 sales. now only if older accessories work straight out of the box with the new camera.

[@HansKeesom]

the 1 inch has 4 times bigger chips so no wonder it does better in low light. Nothing to do with marketing although I can't wait for a 1 inch version with a x4 style but bigger body

[@Rollerlife]

SOOO Happy I found this channel, 307 subscribers... keep posting videos like this (funny, informative, and true) and this channel will blow up big time in no time! thanks for this video, loved it. Plus, great name! just one little recomendation, audio is a bit low compared to most videos in the platform, make sure to put some compression (dynamics) and push the audio between -6 and -2bd. that would make it perfect! hope to see more, new subscriber!

[@TopGadget_]

Thank you! Will do!

[@azizhirkani7043]

Are we paying for the hardware, or for them to run their servers. What type of question is that? OF COURSE we are partly paying for that...wtf?

[@TopGadget_]

I think I should've elaborated more on it. It's more to do with how Samsung and Google have been pushing AI, hiking their prices, and making it the selling point, where we do know how long these services will last. Allegedly, Samsung is dropping support for Galaxy AI for the 24 series 2025 (we don't know what features in specific) and it feels the same way. Yes, this is more so to do with phones, but both products had a substantial price hike, which I'd personally rather a subscription model be placed instead of oh here's some AI editing tools.

Nice video

[@atdez]

I have been looking everywhere for a comparison with the iphone. I am looking to shoot house tours for real estate. Slow motion stabilization and better image / video quality then my phone. Do you feel the insta would provide that. HELP! Lost. Lack 'tech" nology. :/

[@TopGadget_]

If you require to crop in, I don't think the Insta360 will suffice. There's so much loss in detail. It's kind of like comparing phone 1080p footage to a full frame's 1080p output. The Insta360's pixel size is just too small when cropped. Shooting in ProRES Log and then colour grading on the iPhone will yield much better quality than the 360 camera. Do also bear in mind that the Intsa360 X4 is an **action** camera. While the 15 Pro Max in all its marketing is trying to emulate being a professional camera. So, there are already two very different philosophies.
