Con un alto rapporto qualità-prezzo, Insta offre sia una camera 4k che una 360°. L'idea di avere una camera modulare è innovativa e la consiglio soprattutto per chi cerca una cam da usare in vacanza, per turismo, vlogging e fotografie. La modularità la trovo un po' meno pratica per chi vuole una action cam per riprendere le discese con sci e bici, ma se non si vogliono montare e smontare i moduli, tenendo un solo modulo è un'ottima cam anche per chi fa sport.Nonostante sia modulare è molto robusta e tiene bene l'acqua. L'attacco tra batteria e moduli non dà molta sicurezza (c'è uno spazio di 1-2mm), ma provandola posso assicurare che tiene molto bene l'acqua ed è resistente. Il modulo 4K non ha nulla da invidiare a GoPro, la qualità video è ottima. È possibile fare foto in HDR e la stabilizzazione è fluida in ogni situazione dove la cam vibra vistosamente. Un po' meno di qualità l'audio, ma è possibile comprare un microfono esterno da aggiungere. Fare video con il modulo 360 è divertentissimo ed editare i video tramite l'app è semplice e pratico. Con un buon telefono è possibile editare i video e la cam si presta molto per condividere i contenuti con i social.La durata della batteria è buona e se ben usata può durare una giornata.

Well nearly everybody has a thing about the power, it sucks and you have to have the power tank or power outlet Period, It will drain the batteries is less than 30 min. Also no storage case for transport, So be really carefull. I found a soft bag for $200. and if your going to a star party or taking it out the back woods you should had one. So the telescope and optics are not bad, I bought the CCD device so I could take pictures, Wish I could come back and review after a year of use. thats when the real problems come out of a product. I think its a little expensive, but they have made it easy once the scope is alligned its a star party after that, woo hoo!. They have a pro model for only $300 bucks more and after checking it out I which I bought it instead, also the connection to a pc is a serial port (Gosh IF you can get an old compaq laptop that run MS-DOS but of course it wont run the software) most bargin laptops dont have a PCMCIA port so you can add a Serial port to your new laptop which by the way runs the software that allow you to connect to the telescope you will need this after looking and all the planets in the first night). Today in this modern world we use the (USB) port, printers gave this up about 10 year ago, hmm I wonder what else they use in here that 20 year old technology, (stepper moters, they slew the tube) yep thats why the power consumption is so bad (Who in there right mind would do such a thing), NOT a green product, you will go through a 20 pack of batteries in a night. Each time the batteries die you have to go through the same 5 minute alignment procedure, hopefull your not viewing a star of thats fading on the horizen as it will be gone before you can get back to where you were. Totally frustrating (How about D Batteries, er 2 car batteries ?), oh go back in the order that power tank or better yet pull the car up and drain its batteries then your stuck in the field, try to get a jump in the back 40 at 4:00am (What a story!, look for my adventure book on amazon.com)If your casual user I would try the little one for about $500 bucks. if your an astronomer then go on the pro series. GOD Please dont forget the power tank, its mandatory PERIOD.

I'm a filmmaker so this review is coming from that perspective. I've used the GoPro 4 Black before so I do have something that this can compare against as well as an iPhone 6s+ (mobile SOC and such).The first thing I'd like to say is that the sound issue is fixed! I received mine 1.5 weeks ago and the sound works very well. They recently updated the firmware on both the app and the Cube+ so I'm not sure if that fixed it. Below is a clip that I've attached straight from the camera.In terms of image quality, this doesn't match the GoPro 4 nor the iPhone. But it's also significantly less than either. There's more macro blocking and compression issues that are apparent. There's not a ton of manual controls either, just frame rate and resolution. I hope that in the future we can adjust so it can shoot 23.976 along with a selectable shutter speed. I'm primarily using this as a BTS cam which is excels at!The matte rubber build is excellent! I or one of my crew members have dropped this (albeit not from great heights) and it's still going strong. In addition it's a lot smaller than the GoPro. Incredibly tiny. The magnetic bottom is very useful and powerful enough to allow this to stick to a lot of materials. For somewhere it doesn't, rolling up tape will work though. One thing I'd like to note is that 1440p is 1920x1440p not 2560x1440 as I would have expected.As I mentioned before, the audio isn't something spectacular but I was still surprised at the quality coming from this Cube+. It's better with the example I've attached.Overall this is an excellent camera. Particularly great for BTS. Though one improvement they could add is more manual controls. I received this in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

5 month update: lock works perfectly without issue and the battery life is excellent. Gateway another story... check your gateway often to be sure it's communicating well with lock, if not, exchange it. I have 2 gateways now that can support 2 locks each and one supports 2 lock almost 25ft apart. I've had other gateway that can't even support a lock 7ft away. Again test often while new and exchange it if it doesn't perform. Will save you lots of frustration. Gateways not made by Sifely and some are very sketchy connection.I have a vacation rental with a mechanical combination door lock and my property manager manually changes the code monthly. I always wanted to be able to remotely change the combination with each new guest and the code is only valid on the days the guest is staying in the unit.I started my research on what people didn't like about their smart locks, what absolutely frustrated them. And whatever bothered owners with the E models appeared to be fixed in the model X (I hope). I looked at the installation video for the Sifely X before I even bought it and that's a nice touch as it was really as easy as it was in the video. Every screw was pre-marked in its own plastic bag so you don't mixed them up.When I received this lock, I tested for 2 days to be sure all the functions work, unlock and lock from cellphone, key, finger print, combination code and smart card. No problem whatsoever. The fingerprint is very accurate as it works seamlessly.Then I tried to add a code while I was away from the house and got an error message. I tried to unlock the door and gave me error message. The error message is... must be within 2 meters of lock to perform this function. Did some more research and it turns out I need a gateway in order to do anything remotely. That wasn't clear to me when I bought it. Now questioning why isn't the unit sold with a gateway as remote management is a must or at least have 2 options, with and without gateway and explain what the difference. I didn't expect to spend additional $39 but let's see if the gateway will impress me when it arrives. If you don't need remote management of your smart lock, this lock is great... but what smart home doesn't need remote access???

I have to say, that While I haven't had an X2, I stopped using my X1 as I like the GoPro 360 MAX much better, even without the magic floating camera, or erase the stick feature, the GoPro, and its software were just more intuitive and I liked how my video came out more. When I got this and tested it out a few days ago, then went to use the newer 2022 insta360 studio software.... Just wow, major improvements on all fronts. The old software was just terrible, Now I'm not going to say the new one is fantastic, It's still a bit cluncky when running, and it's still missing some basic features that should be no brainers when it comes to any sort of video editing software, but for most serious editors, I'm sure they will just use the functionality of it being able to be an extension in Premiere Pro, so that doesn't make much difference. But for those who just want to be able to edit some footage for fun, and don't necessarily want to learn some more complicated and expensive software, this is miles better than it used to be. I'd say it's acceptable now, as before that was the main issue for me. But just the overall quality and stability of the videos this produces in both regular and 360 mode is just very good... I think best in its class, better than the newer go pros, and it's predecessors. So I'll give it credit that its quite the step up from the previous cameras... I wish I could compare the experience of the insta360 oneR but I never used that series so I can't say with certainty what Id like more. They are very similar price points, and specs as well, but it you dont want a camera where you need to change out parts in order to change video styles on the fly, then this is the one to go for.

Already have KC200 outdoor camera which is good but without all the features of this new model. (No built in SIM facility on KC200) I have switched off the LED lights and IR at the moment as the video is clear enough without them and it does not stand out at night. That said, they are both good. I have spot lights that detect a person on the drive and they provide more than sufficient lighting. The video is recording in colour with just a weak street light and the sensitivity is correctly identifying a person. I have a128gb micro sim which is more than adequate for several days recordings. I have taken a snap shot of 4.15am today and it is good and in clout. When lights come on it’s outstanding. Came with a USA plug power adaptor. (See photo)The cable is USB ended and fits any suitable adaptor or usb socket. I highly recommend this product but get your own power adaptor.

I have to admit, I am a bit of an elitist when it comes to my photography equipment. That having been said I knew I needed a decent flash, as quickly as possible, and having just dropped a significant amount of money on new L series glass I didn't want to break the bank on a flash that will not see much use (as I prefer to shoot sans flash, due to the significant advancements in light sensitivity offered in newer professional DSLR's).So I came across this $40 + change flash. At the worst I figured I could test it out, if I didn't care for it send it back, and no harm means no foul. So it arrives and the first thing I see is the packaging. By trade I am a Graphic Designer and Photographer. This is what I do to put food on the table, and I do so with pretty good success in my opinion. However, as my speciality is in commercial packaging design, I understand a couple of things:1) Good packaging design means a solid hand feel, and quality materials.2) It must show up good in photos, for use in advertisements.This little flash hits both spot on. Moving onto the flash itself it has a very solid built construction, very much equal to the feel of the Canon flashes currently available (across the entire line). It comes with a very effective tension disc, located above the hot shoe mount, that screws down to firmly secure the flash in place, and protective and very thick velvet storage case, easy to read instructions including diagrams of what does what on the flash itself, a slide out diffuser and bounce, and way more features than anyone would expect for the price.I just finished coming off of a weekend of four photo shoots; 2 product shoots, 1 in studio portrait shoot, and 1 shoot for a wedding reception. I utilized a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, and a Canon EOS 60D, for these events, and used either a Canon 70-200 f2.8L II IS USM, or a Canon 85mm f1.2L II USM. The results were perfect, and very much compensated for where the ISO and Aperture of the lens could not. I have more than enough very tack sharp, well lit, images with virtually 0 noise visible at 24", and am glad for the purchase.My thrifty little $40 buy has earned a permanent spot in my gear bag.

I'm not a professional photographer, but as I've looked more into some of the very affordable bits of import photo gear that are popping up on the market, I'm discovering more and more really incredibly useful. This thing clamps on to a pole or post, some rigging, a bar, a pipe, something round … and it gives me a fairly flexible way to mount a light, a camera, a mic, whatever a small screen … whatever I need, as long as I can manage to keep the laws of physics sort of in mind when I use it.When you can't keep the laws of physics in mind (need to put a boom on the end of this thing with something on the end of that while it's clamped to a vertical pipe that's kind of smooth) it does have its limits. But otherwise it's the kind of thing I'd want to have a couple of on hand for when I find I need one.
