100% ! Glad you got it sorted 💯

You're welcome! 😊

Sweet! Thanks for watching! 🙏😊

You're welcome! Gals it was a help!

Hey, thanks for the question! The vest is purely designed for crash protection not for flotation. It does help a tiny bit in terms of flotation but next to nothing in comparison to a life vest. Hope that helps!

Thanks 👍

Hmm, that is odd. It should... Have you made sure that your camera is NOT in power saving mode?

@teagan_bok_kiteboarding oopsss sorry I just realized that I set video mode to extended battery instead of highest quality..🫣😅 now everything is good👍🏼

@teagan_bok_kiteboarding aha.. its bc i set video mode to extended battery instead of highest video😅

Ah nice! Glad you got it sorted! 🙌

Thank you!

100% ! Thanks mate!

So comfortable to use! Can't think of a better design.

Yeah, agreed 100% !

Thanks Dave!! 🙏

Thanks for such a detailed comment and approach 🙏 The HEVC is pretty stupid if I'm completely honest. (Unless you're on Mac I guess) Cheers mate 😊

Awesome! You're welcome! 🙌

You're welcome! 🙌

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

Hey mate, thanks for the comment 😊 I was hesitant to touch on this too much and tried to rather allude to this in the video (to avoid bashing the older models) but with the new designers on board, the new V4 is a HUGE improvement on the older models (and the reason I was keen to partner with the brand). Honestly a '5-6 year equivalent' improvement in terms of build quality and performance. In my opinion, I'd say Lacuna has changed their value proposition, rather than lost their value proposition. I'd say their value proposition previously was 'cheaper gear at the expense of performance and quality' to make the sport more accessible to the average South African. Now with the new designers / owners on board, they are aiming to reposition the brand's value proposition more towards high performance, well thought out and well built gear putting them in the North ball-park (which obviously comes at an additional cost). This transition period will always be a bit of a tough position to be in as a brand and the only way to really convert people is through them giving the gear a try. It's very difficult to really portray this through a review video. If you ever get the chance, definitely give the V4 a try 😊 This is my opinion on Lacuna's situation as a brand but have asked one of the designers / owners to chip in here as well. (and correct me on anything here if need be) I am also working on the bar review video at the moment, so keep an eye out! 🧐 Cheers mate

Hi @RhinoRhinoGiraffe, thank you for your interest in Lacuna. Pricing and brand positioning are always a big topic, however we feel the current prices for Lacuna reflect a price that is very reasonable for equipment that will last you a long time in terms of both design and build. It is hard to compare past prices to the current ones, a lot has changed in brand since it was taken over by the new owners almost 2 years ago now. The last range under the previous owners - the V3 collection was ordered in 2020. If you combine 4 years of factory cost increases and the decline in the value of the Rand to the Dollar in that time there is no way the V4 product could be at the same level. Also you are comparing a discounted, last season product ('24 Orbit) to a current season product (V4 Omega), I think you will find the new season gear across all the major brands to be much higher coming into the season. As always at Lacuna we try hard to keep our costs/overhead low and try to provide quality equipment at a price that is sustainable for everyone involved - factory, brand, dealers and of course the stoked riders who are out there using the gear. But more than anything, we would love for everyone to try the gear and see if it is right for them. The most expensive kite is the kite you regret buying because it didn't meet your expectations or doesn't suit your needs. Thanks, The Lacuna Team

Thanks guys! 😊

Hi there, I'm not quite sure... I got this at the end of 2023 so perhaps was the 2022 model?

Thanks Dave! 🙏

You're welcome!! 🙌😊

Hey mate, thanks! It's usually best to get a slightly bigger board as a beginner (137-140cm). I don't have much experience with Ozone kites at all. I ride for Lacuna kites and the Lacuna Omega V4 (latest version) would be a great and safe kite to learn on. You'll be able to progress on this as well so won't need to buy another kite once you start getting a bit better. Otherwise I'd recommend going for a Cabrinha Switchblade. Hope that helps! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Ah I see, sorry to hear...

Interesting approach! Thanks for sharing! 🙌

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding Thanks. I'm extremely inexperienced with DaVinci Resolve, so ended up here looking for a solution. Couldn't get it to work (probably didn't follow the steps properly) but then had a lightbulb moment! Pure luck! 🙂

No stress at all, thanks again for sharing 🙌

Thanks mate! 🙌🙏

Thanks mate! Appreciate it 🙏

Hey Miguel! Awesome to hear man! Keep pushing, it only gets better from there 💪 Appreciate the comment mate, definitely will do 🙌

Thanks for your kind words! 😊 Super stoked you found it useful 💪

Thanks mate! 😊

Hey Nick :) Its Wriggleswade dam

You're welcome! 🙌

You're welcome!! 🙌

Haha 🤣 🤣 Thanks mate

Try following the pinned comment in the comments section if this method is too tricky. Download the arrow with no background and drag it straight into the timeline. You won't be able to change the colour of the arrow doing that but should work for you. Hope that is easier for you :)

Hey! 😊 From my experience any views that are generated on a channel will count towards monetisation. The key with enabling RUclips advanced features (Level 1 and 2 of the 3) is that without having this enabled, you can't use certain features such as uploading a custom thumbnail, uploading more than a certain number of videos per day, not being able to put links in your description, etc. My recommendation here would be to verify your channel as early as possible so that you have access to all of these features but I don't believe this should have any impact on monetization.

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding You’re awesome! I won’t forget this kindness. Thanks.

No stress! You're welcome @claragomezb.7849 !! 🙌

Hmm, interesting... Perhaps try 4k and see if that makes a difference at all... It's always tricky to work around the compression though.

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding I have tried that too. I've done various things by looking up tutorials on RUclips but nothing has worked

Ah jeez ok... I'm not really sure what to suggest there then...

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding I saw in a video that adding film grain works but does it really?

I think I've actually tried that as well but didn't help much at all...

Hey! Yes, I used a regular sewing needle and fishing braid as this is made from dyneema (same as kite lines) amd is super strong. Don't use dental floss as I doubt that will last in the sun and salt... You should be able to get a small piece of braid from any fishing shop, otherwise just use regular sewing thread (as thick as possible). Hope that helps 🙏

Not sure about punches and kicks, haha but definitely makes a massive difference for crashes and impacts to the ribs 👍

​ Sounds good, wanna use these for more safety by fottball games and all this stuff, fans and above all the police goes hard in, sometimes without reason or while there looking for stress, and i dont wanna get again broken rips by police brutallity or something XD

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding thanks for the answer

@FieberTraumBilligReisen OK, yes makes sense 👌

Hey! From my experience, what you film in doesn't make too much difference, it's what settings your export from your editing software follows (which I'm assuming you use) that makes the difference. I find these settings to give the best results: Resolution: 1080p Frame Rate: 60fps Codec: H.264 codec / .MOV Bit rate: 10,000 - 15,000 kbps video bitrate Length: sub 60 seconds Ideal file size: 15MB Upload from a mobile device (not desktop) Hope this helps! :)

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding thank you so much. Don't usually get any replies so will subscribe for sure. And Will give it a try soon as I can.

Awesome, thanks mate! Appreciated 🙏 Let me know how you go

​@@K1NG_EDWARDis this settings works for you ?

@@SahilSambyal-w6w I still haven't tried it yet. But if you try it, let me know how it goes 👍

I'm not sure there... make sure that the Fusion composition is in the top video track and that the little effects button (colorful ring) in the top right corner is turned on. That should hopefully fix the issue.

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding Wow, quickest response I’ve ever gotten. Thanks! Will try!

Awesome to hear! No stress 🙌 Let me know how you go 👍

Thanks mate! Haha, definitely been there 😅 Try and swing under the kite as much as possible. The more you swing under, the less aggressive the loop should be.

You're welcome!! 🙌 😎

Awesome to hear! You're welcome 🙌

Still working 100% 💪 haven't had a single problem with it 👍

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding Nice, i was impatient, and bought a slim profile "right angle mount" from Amazon out of alumnium, its decent. I had to cut into my foamy and its a bit of a fight to line up the gopro with the bracket, but it works

Ok awesome! Yeah, that will work as well 👌

Yes, I 100% agree. They added that feature to the Hero 12

@@teagan_bok_kiteboarding thats not fair

Haha, I know. I was also pretty bummed when I saw that 😅🤣
