I bought the 3 years accident policy since I figured I'll probably be buying new camera by that time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the speed max in active track but my speed max of 11ish mph was in the range posted in the Spark forum. "When forward obstacle sensing is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, max flight attitude angle is 15 degrees with a maximum flight speed of 6.7 MPH. When forward obstacle sensing is disenabled, max flight attitude angle is 15 degrees with a maximum flight speed of 13.4 MPH.” https://sparkpilots.com/threads/spark-max-speed.4490/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Eisenman Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 @Marty Backe Spark has something called 'sport mode' which goes about 2x+ faster but with fewer flight safeguards. There is one YouTube where the poster claims vehicle tracking in sport mode in the mph range you're suggesting. I haven't tried sport mode + active track but my Spark was up to 25 mph in Sport mode just trying it out for a short distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Stern Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 9 hours ago, who_the said: @Alien Rides shoots Rylo for the majority of his work. The stabilization was groundbreaking, though others are catching up and close now. The founder's PhD thesis was on stabilizing video, then he founded the company. He founded another company first that was sold to Instagram. The software became their stabilization engine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrelwood Posted October 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2018 @Marty Backe, I must say I’m very happy that you got a 360 camera! Your videos are always done well and with a classy taste, not to mention the sceneries... But your previous system limited the view a lot. (And the pole rattled... :op) I really like these clips where I can see how the whole rider moves around, and can’t wait to be further mesmerized by your forthcoming 360 mountain riding videos! Same goes for all 360 video shooters, just be careful with the distorted fish-eyed angles and I’m sure there are others as well who’ll enjoy a lot joining you on your marvellous rides and sceneries! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Coast Guard tells Boston 25 News that a call came in around 10 a.m. Saturday for an "overdue diver" roughly one mile south of Nahant. The captain of charter boat Keepah said the 37-year-old diver did not surface when expected." https://www.boston25news.com/news/coast-guard-searching-for-overdue-diver-off-nahant/856557548 (Nahant is the left of center land form) A news report says the diver went missing near 'Swallow Cave' and TV news says the diver and his friend drove up from Philadelphia for a scallop dive. http://www.strange-new-england.com/2015/10/22/swallow-cave/ Of course Philly holds a special place in my heart, a city where my 2 yrs of graduate studies went unrewarded. I lived in 4 different apts, one of them on Juniper street where my Catholic GF and her 4 year old daughter would sometimes visit. When not with her daughter we dated like bff's until she graduated and I dropped out and disappeared into the private school system of New England. The GF story has a good ending. The GF later remarried, the daughter , years later, went to a prominent Washington area college, she married and had 3 kids and her father finished his medical school / surgical studies becoming a private pilot as well if I'm not mistaken.

Do i have to change any settings when i load it up on YouTube @eddiemoy @Marty Backe The Insta360 ONE output is closer to 720P which looks good when viewed on your phone but horrible when viewed on desktop. The ONE X on the other hand has 50% more resolution allowing for output closer to 1080P which looks good on smartphone or desktop. Technicals aside, your video looks great especially with the fall foliage. Only one suggestion which is to get a longer selfie stick to reduce the fisheye effect. One trick is to buy another of the selfie sticks and screw them together. That extra one foot makes a significant difference if you don’t extend both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't exactly say "horrible", but clearly these videos look more pristine when viewed within a smaller window. It'll probably take 2-3 more years, but I can't wait for 8k video capture in this 360 cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another @eddiemoy convert (or independent discoverer). He's clearly using an extreme selfie-stick. I'm convinced that the 360 videos look best when shot with a 9-foot or greater pole. It minimizes the fisheye effect and looks best, IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankFilmer Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The first video is the full definition version of the earlier short clip. The stitching is far from perfect but I'm very happy with it. The second video is after I just got done riding through a thick fog bank up on the hill above the beach. Much like in Eddie's early insta 360 test also in fog, the stitching went to crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a Ricoh Theta S. I used it a bit then stopped as quality was not really good (full HD in 360°). Now quality has improved a lot so I recently got this Insta360 One camera, and should receive the new one (One X) this week. Viewing others' videos also contributed to this choice ( @Marty Backe @eddiemoy ). In the video I use a long selfie stick (Telesin 106") attached to a folded tripod. Around 3m long altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
