I’d say that I’m sorry but I’m really not 😂 Just like the OG Gameboy, Steam Deck travels with me everywhere now. I’m always on the move and I pretty much built my life around being active. Apart from the time when I ripped my rotator cuffs in 2023 - combo of pain, strong meds and being immobilised for few months got me back into gaming and helped me cope with whatever’s next. I wasn’t sure I’ll be able to do anything with that arm at that point. Games, just like books for folk who can focus on one thing at a time, are excellent way to detach and unwind. I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling with health :(

@ Thank you so incredibly much for your kind words and sharing your experience- I’m so sorry you went through that. And you mentionwd reading… that’s my other passion - books help me escape! Always have a book AND an audiobook And have in on throughout the day while doing everything ( escapism!). That’s a major reason why I was so interested in the shokz openswim! Listen to books while swimming! lol! I always have one on. Honestly, thank you so much for being so helpful and always making me smile ☺️ I hope you are completely recovered and no long term effects. Now I need to figure out how to get my hands on one of these! lol 🤣

Much appreciated mate! Thanks 🤙🏻

Yeah you need a totally different camera for that, not an action cam bud.

It's awesome!

Yeah, turns out, just like my dog, likes dipping in the water 😂

Ah I’ll pin that in the top comment! It’s always set to Ultra Wide on both cameras.

Oh I know but it gets helluva shaky when you do - did that in the clip from Cape Town (kitesurfing comparison clip that’s mistakenly marked as “rocksteady” on the Action 4. RS+Boost Lens provides a nice balance of stability and fov

The point here is that it’s a wider POV that’s the advantage, with little fish-eye effect, I thought I’ve made that clear 😂 More FOV = better for POV footage. If you’re recording someone else then the linear mode makes more sense. Having said that, most action cameras kinda suck when recording another rider unless you’re up close… had some decent bruises from doing that so many times 🤣

@@JakeOski Yeah, the technical part of more FOV is obvious, i was more curious of the practical side of where and when someone how might not like fisheye would prefer fisheye (as a tool) since most creators i've talked to hate fisheye, POV or not. To each there own i guess.

Doesn’t DJI ship to the Philippines?

Yeah totally depends on personal preferences. For the stuff I do it makes sense, even from reframing point of view.

Action 5 with Boost Lens (182 degrees) is wider than GoPro with Max Lens Mod (177 degrees). Nad it should, especially if you shoot in 4:3 and then crop whatever you want.

@@JakeOski If you shoot 16:9? Go Pro just has a different matrix.

@@creativecloud-23 same thing, max FOV on GoPro is 177 vs 182 on Action 5

Thanks dude! Yeah that voice was straight from the camera without the Mic Mini / Mic 2 attached - otherwise the sound would be MUCH better. Also, having the mic under the jacket helps a lot when it's windy - just like a lav mic :)

Nah the wide lens for POV shots is epic! But I’m totally with on the 35mm too for recording others 👍🏻

@@JakeOski ha ha ha can not wait for the booost to really get going

An anamorphic lens would be sick

Can’t speak to the durability of Suunto but the Wing are still going strong and I’ve just kicked the life out of Suunto Aqua (review soon) and they’re pretty awesome too. What happened to your Shokz if you don’t mind me asking?

In a way but then it doesn't really avoid any obstacles - just stops. At least Neo did its best to go around stuff. And as I said - as a basic package it's a good deal. As a fly-more... not so much.

@ Yeah - agreed. Hopefully they’ll add Bypass in a firmware update. The drones for loads of potential- just not quite there yet

@@brianbathgate4944 Hopefully! In its current state I wouldn't send it down behind me at Angry Sheep in Inners ;-)

@@JakeOskiHa ha - nope! Maybe Twitcher at GT. Doubt it’d make the first S bend. Might take out Care Refresh and give it a shot 😂

@ had some epic crashes there with most DJI drones filming mates… let’s just say tracking doesn’t work on any drone there so far 😂

Shoot! I forgot to mention this, yeah the DJI Boost Lens works on the DJI Action 4 too!

@JakeOski That is great news for me ! And I would also send kiteloop like you !

@@Baptiste_L Stoked I could help mate! Kiteloops are mostly just a mental thing - having said that, I'm still pretty shit at these... that bike crash that took my arm off kinda made me slow down with some of the stuff. But in general, all you have to start with is trying to jump vertically without much horizontal drift and practice spinning your body to face the kite. Contrary to old YT videos you don't need to go high anymore provided you've got some fairly modern kites. You're absolutely fine throwing a loop at 3-4m and ideally when you're not lit on your 9m or 10m kite. Just crank the bar and you'll be surprised how easy it is :) Good luck dude!

@JakeOski thanks a lot ! I read some info about the lens and DJI says that tou can use it at 5m below water. Do you think it is safe to use for kiting ? I don't do kiteloop but I still crash hard 😅. And I know that a big crash can cause big water pressure on the cam.

@ you should be fine bud :)

Ah dude, sorry to hear that! Yeah it sucks big time when the nerve blocker wears off. Definitely get some sort of a wedge at least, as steep as you can as sleeping on your healthy side will still be painful and it's hard to turn and get off the bed that way. I think I've started sleeping on my healthy side after 3 weeks or so. You should be able to play on PS5 with no probs just lift the controller up the fixed arm and don't move it in the shoulder. It blows but it'll get better! 💪🏻

I was in the same boat but now I've fully switched to DJI - the stabilisation is on point and picture quality is epic. GoPro had a bit more lively colours straight out of the camera which I really liked but it's easy to tweak that in post. Horizon leveling works well but I seldom use it as the camera is usually on my bite mount. As for robustness - so far so good!

@ Thank you for the info, feels like the GoPro is going on ebay.

@@bring_everything the fast charging on the Action 5 is the bomb too! Getting it to 100% when taking a piss break in between the sessions helps a lot :)

@ So how does the DJI battery compare to the GoPro Enduro? The White one.

@@bring_everything depends on your settings, 4k 50fps in Standard bitrate it's around 4h, in high bitrate it's about 2.5h

Two things - look up "conflict of interest" because you're not using it right. Look at 10 minutes for microphone test, I've even made a chapter. Here, served on a silver platter.

Stoked it helped!

I’d say so! The Pro is fine for colours and I’m now experimenting with new iPad Mini too but the RM2 is still my favourite note taking alternative to a classic notebook

@@JakeOskihave you tried out the new supernote that I see everyone raving about? If so, do u still prefer the rM2?

I think you need to adjust your screen - ND16 on "Auto" mode is darker, look ash highlights in the grass on the right vs ND8. And the mention blur + highlights difference in ND16 when flying with goggles.

@@JakeOski 1EV difference must be a lot more pronounced. It is quite possible for cheap filters that real ND is not exactly as stated

I haven't tested them in heavy rain but they fared OK in the standard Scottish drizzle. They sound cleaner than the standard bone conduction headphones but the downside is that their IP rating is lower.

Stoked I could help! I still often use Mic 2 for the 32 bit float - e.g. when recording via shotgun that's connected to the Mic 2 transmitter and then doubling it up with receiver on the camera so I've got choices if I mess settings up. But that Mic Mini is epic, just don't overcook with the preamp settings in camera to avoid clipping :)

It's a nice little drone if you stick to the basic package. If you're looking at Fly More Combo then I'd add about 20% of the budget and get the Mini 4 Pro. But at the base price of the drone + battery + controller - it's really decent!

I hear ya! It's great for messing around in FPV or quick shots when I don't want to carry my large drone around - or even the DJI Mini 4 Pro as it needs setting up. Every additional step kinda limits my willingness to do stuff because... of laziness 🤣 Neo lives in my camera bag as it weights nothing.

@ why wouldn’t they just stick a really good 4k cam in it, not sure I understand why they kept it budget quality on the cam when they have some great cams to use

Haha massive thanks, means a lot! Got some Apple content coming in soon too :-)

That’s pretty much what I said - if someone’s thinking of going for the DJI Flip Fly More Combo it makes more sense to get the DJI Mini 4 Pro for sure. At a base price though it’s a decent drone for someone who doesn’t own any yet. Can’t wait for Mini 5 Pro though! A bigger sensor and I’m defo sold!

Fly more combo in Mexico is almost 1000 usd, went with the basic that was here 450 bucks, I'm buying extra batteries and bag from other shops and is super cheap this way @@JakeOski

The DJI Mini is epic when you want something more concealed :)

I'd say so - it's gonna be a bit less resistant to the wind but overall it gives you more options plus being able to film in DLOG-M.

@@JakeOski same issue. My mini3 is still in the package. I have never flown drones before, and I am a bit afraid of losing it. Would you go for the Flip? Thanks!

@ can’t make that decision for you but the Flip is an awesome first drone. And don’t stress too much about small things, just get out to some large open area away from people and get flying!

@@Viajarlocuratodo1 I exchanged it for flip and I'm liking it so far. One thing would do different is, go for 2 batteries.

It's basically a stripped-down version of the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Not their best product but it has it's advantages for someone who doesn't own a drone and want's something cheap and cheerful with much better picture quality than the Neo.

@JakeOski but mini 4 doesnt suffer from wind as much, so they have stripped the wrong parts

@ nope but it's also quite a bit more expensive. That's the point in having different product tiers.

Absolutely agree.

If only! They need to make a Samurai Drone, I'd be all over it!

Nah you don't need one, I never use one either. The sound is really decent for the type of headset and it stays on your head in most scenarios - mine has not fallen off yet and between surfing and kitesurfing that's a decent score!

Got to try this on my headphones today and it works! Bloody awesome :) You just have to remember which songs are in which folder! To shuffle between the normal/shuffle/repeat modes without using the phone press Volume+ and Multifunction button (on the side of the speaker) for 2 secs.

@@JakeOski So glad it helped! Also if you have trouble getting the songs to play in the same order as on your computer if you batch drag to the shokz, I found this on shokz site. It makes sense- usbs and other things rearrange it too do to how they work. This should allow you to have the songs in the order you want. If it doesn’t work, do stem 2 kind of in reverse ( ie at step “2)” Click to select the first file. Hold down the shift button on the keyboard and click to select the last file. At this time, 1~20 are all selected). Still scared to open mine and not sure what to do or if I should swap- feel horrendous as they were a gift. Just scared it may get tiresome sorting things Links I tried to put in were seen as spam so just search “int help shokz how to lost track order on openswim formerly x trainer” & “en help shokz Name how to list tracks order “ . Hopefully it will come up

@@JakeOski oh it’s also very easy to batch rename a list of songs 01 to 30 et …

@ ah! Have you tried to stream music from your phone via Bluetooth to the Suntoo aqua headphones while swimming ? The shokz apparently can a little so wonder if the suunto aqua can too?

@@PaigeEscapes only when neither of the devices is under water - BT doesn't penetrate liquids so it cuts off. In theory, if you keep your head above the water you're fine but as soon as you dive to make a turn it will cut off.

That's really weird - have you got in touch with warranty team? Has to be a faulty model...

@@JakeOski I'm very close to return it or call customer service. Thanks for your feedback.

@@sandralee7862 Defo get in touch with them, I've had them a while now and they're still going strong!

@@JakeOski thanks. They are considering replacing a new one. Thanks.

Is this only for swim? Or can it work for run too?

Just got the Suunto Aqua and testing them right now - great headphones with one big (IMO advantage) over these, I'll get it published in the coming days :)

@ I just got shokz for my birthday 😣 I feel like I should have got these now and feel terrible

@ nah don't, it's just option to make playlists with mp3's. In the first version of Openswims we've had an option to switch between the folders which was taken away in the Pro's for some bizarre reason. Both sound very similar as there's only so much you can do with bone conduction tech. I've been using these since the release date (bikes, runs, skateboarding, kitesurfing) and they've done awesome. So don't get FOMO over small things :-)

@ gosh! Thank you!! So keep the shokz? They are still the best? I still can have folders but just not switch them in the mp3 mode? And I made a comment about folder switching- found it on reddit ☺️ Someone apparently fixed the folder issue…. “SOLUTION: How to Change Folders in Shozk OpenSwim Pro I solved the folder problem by switching to shuffle mode, then changing a couple of songs until I recognize the other folder, and then switch it back to normal mode to select previous and next songs from that other folder. I did several tests and always switches between folders at 2nd and 3rd try. Unfortunately this is the only alternative solution since the OpenSwim Pro does not have a folder-switching function as indicated by customer service and confirmed in the user manual.”

@ I am SO sorry again! Can you actually change folders on the headphones when I’m mo3 mode? Understand you can create playlists on the app but swapping folders/ playlists easy on the headset when in mo3 mode? I just read that it is not possible

Glad I could help!
