Mark Exploring New Stuff
Добавлен 9 авг 2014
I’m a Baby Boomer who has run a successful business but now wants to explore my interests in video, photography and new tech gadgets. I figured, what better way to do that then to start a RUclips channel. It will never be perfect, and at times, messy but we’ll learn new stuff together and have some fun along the way. For all those who have heard the saying, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, join me and let’s prove them wrong.

Insta360 Go 3 - K&F ND Filters - Auto vs. Manual

In this video I demonstrate how the Insta360 Go 3 reacts in “Auto” on a bright sunny day, then show how its would react when using the K&F Concepts ND filter selection (ND 8, ND 16, ND 32 and ND 64). Sometimes a cinematic look and motion blur aren’t a concern and going “auto” works. These K&F Concept ND’s cover a great range and are really super quality.

Great video,Mark! That SSD has some amazing speed with transfer (and editing if used so) Do you find yourself running out of storage space when out recording? The reason I ask is I use the 1TB cloud storage and then AirDrop those ProRes files to my SSD.
lol. Matt, maybe I need to clean out my old files to make room or improve (reduce) the number of “takes” I require. That seems like a good work flow. Thanks for your kind words. Stay well.
too base case and too heavy to use it in vloging
I agree! Protection comes at the price of light weight converience. I usually use the case when storing or transporting the P3 and often remove when vlogging. Thanks for for watching and sharing your thoughts. Be well.
Did you happen to have 32 bit float enabled for this? Or did you have it off on the Pocket 3? Thanks!
I did not have 32 bit enabled. Thank you for watching. Hope the comparison was helpful.
Great job Mark. New Subscriber.
Mark thanks for becoming a subscriber and sharing a comment. I enjoy your channel too.
@@markexploringnewstuff Thanks. We Mark's need to stick together.
Hi!, one question!, is posible to pair with the Insta App without the action pod?
Yes. The camera without the action pod will connect to app for use.
@@markexploringnewstuff Thanks!
Amazing review and tips here!
Thank you so much. Glad you found it helpful.
Excellent review! I'll get one.
Thank you for your kind words. You’ll love it. Stay well.
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad to be of assistance. Thank you for watching. Be well.
Informative video.
Thank you Maestro.
1. Purple Panda > 2. Rode > 3 DJI (My opinion) - Finally DJI wireless itself is also good.
I think the Purple Panda is a super lav at a great price! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Stay well.
@@markexploringnewstuff i have tried all different mics for my motorcycle video - now I will try Purple Panda.

Precise explanation thank you good sire!

great review and handy to know this exists.
Thank you for watching and your kind words.
Getting about 30-40 MB/s transfer rate from the quicker reader to iPhone with insta360 app. This speed normal? Seems slow. It is about the same speed as WiFi transfer. Expected it to be faster than WiFi.
I have been getting around 38 MB/s so that seems in line with my experience. Transfers much faster when I plug into my laptop and transfer files without using insta360 app, reader shows up as a drive. Thanks for watching.
WITHOUT the quick reader, how would you get the video files otherwise? quick reader is an accessory or is it an essential tool? originally Go3S is released without it.
The quick reader is a valuable accessory. The Go3/3s can transfer files via the mobile app, or by connecting the Go3 and Base via a usb c to a computer. The quick readers main function is the ability, on the run, to download from the internal memory to an external SD card and provide a quicker transfer method to move files to a computer
Great video review! I like supporting growing channels run by boomers like me. Subscribed!
Thank you for your kind support. Boomers like Luxury Travel. Subscribed!
Just ordered the Small Rig cage. Nice video. Just got my DJI A4, open box, no cage.
You’re gonna love it. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!
I recently bought the DJI Action 4 camera and tried transferring some footage I recorded for editing to my PC. However, when I play the video, it’s lagging and appears to be in slow motion. I’m not sure what the issue might be-whether it’s related to the transfer process, a compatibility problem with my PC, or something in the camera settings. Do you have any recommendations on how I could fix this? Is there an alternative method I should try for transferring the files or playing the footage on my PC?
Hmmm. Does it playback fine on the action 4? Is the playback frame rate on your PC editing software the same as the frame rate the you recorded at? If you received recorded at 60 fps and payback at 30 fps that would slow things down. Hope that helps.
your dji auto setting or manual setting thankyou
Depends, when just taking quick family pics, I use full auto. When I am doing a planned video, manual 30fps and 1/60, standard color and auto WB. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. Has anyone found a (neoprene or similar?) case to fit these in - the box isn't exactly portable. Thanks
That would be great. I’ve always used the case they come in, which is often lacking. The Telesin comes in a big bulky case which does not fit In your pocket. Thanks for watching.
Do I really need 4 of those filters? What about if I purchase just the 1/16?
It really depends on the brightness surrounding and your desire to maintain the 180 degree rule. I use the ND 16 and ND 32 the most. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching.
@@markexploringnewstuff thank you for your reply.
Great video, as always, Mark! We often forget how good of a camera, both stills and video, we have in our pockets. I might bring my Pocket 3 to Disney next year! A variable ND would be a good solution but having to remember to remove it when you turn off the P3 can be bothersome.
Matt, thanks for your kind words. The P3 is soooo good in low light. Stay well.
How’s the Elgato Prompterworking for you?
So great! Having issues with the voice sync (Elgato working on) but all other features work perfect. Really helpful addition. Thanks!
@@markexploringnewstuff may I make a suggestion? You might want to reduce your margins, because I’m seeing you reading and your eyes are removing quite a bit and don’t make a lot of contact with the family.
What problems are you having with your voice sync
@theoldvideoguy Great idea. I noticed that also. Thanks.
I run Windows 11 and the graphic card crashes when the voice sync additional files are installed. No additional files are needed for Apple systems installs just windows.
An excellent breakdown and analysis. I watched your review of the quick reader previously and I have to say I've never seen someone as articulate as you reviewing these kind of products and I've watched many already since I'm planning to buy the 3s. You remind me of Mr. Kevin O'Leary you sound quite like him not to mention you're both very sharp and pleasant to listen to. Good luck to you I just wish more people stumble upon your channel!
Thank you sooo much for your kind words of support. I am glad you found these helpful. As for Kevin, we also share the same hair style. Be well.
Yooo the RODE Lav 2 for the W!!!! Supreme sound!!! ..and you’re in Bluetooth mode! The internal recording I’m sure is superb!
Thank you for watching and sharing.
i cant remove it off the camera
Hmmm, I have not experienced any problem removing the Zoss product from the P3. I grip the P3 with one hand, grip the Zoss with the other hand and pull apart. Weird suggestion, put P3 in refrigerator for a couple minutes that may help with any expansion and make separation easier. Lastly, reach out to Zoss service, they may have a suggestion. Hope this helps.
Great overview of the features. Sounds like a winner for moto vlogging.
Thank you watching and commenting. Enjoy!
sound great!
I agree. Thank you for watching and commenting.
So AirTag informs a person that an unknown AirTag is following them.. that I think is a problem too. It alerts a thief that the item is tagged.
True. Pluses and minuses with everything.
So if I'm gonna be doing street interviews, news reporter style, its gonna be Md46?
Absolutely! Also look at the Sennheiser Wireless ENG set. I did a video on how well it works with MD46.
I wanna get this for my Osmo pocket 3 but it's a bit pricey for someone who lived outside of the US.. if you know what I mean.. nevertheless it's a good product! 😂 Which one did you purchased? 40$, 50$, or 60$? Also, you remind me of my dad.. he was also a Baby Boomer but so so much into gadget and stuff.. Stay happy and healthy Sir! Much love from Malaysia! ❤
I recommend the Pro version which is $60. Thank you for watching and you kind comments.
Hi mark, I bought only the stand alone. My only problem now is how to update firmware without the pod . Do you know know how to do it?
See my pinned comment above. Users have reported updating is an issue without pod, but historically insta360 doesn’t do any major firmware updates.
Hi , do you find your nd filter really loose and move slightly within filter frame with zero resistance while changing stops?
Sorry, I stopped using the K&F variable ND’s, because I found them too difficult to read/adjust the stops. I really enjoy the Polar Pro Vivid ND collection which offers a ND8, ND32 and ND128 - these are fixed ND’s. I find the Polar Pro Vivid and the K&F fixed ND’s (8/16/32/64) all fit well with no movement. Thank you for watching.
I've seen these. They sound great!
Phil, I really like the small size. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay well.
Thanks for your review. DS2 seems to have some minor flaws. Would you recommend it overall for general podcast purposes?
If your mic is not real heavy, like an SM7B it will work just fine. Works great with the Rode mics. Wish it had a ball head at mic attachment end. Overall, if you need a desk stand I would recommend but it isn’t perfect. Thanks so watching.
Great video Thank you for sharing

@@markexploringnewstuff oohhh. That would make a great RUclips name. Oh yeah.
that’s really cool. I just got an eos m50 mk2 and it’s all I need but i’ll consider upgrading in the future. nice
The M50 mk2 is a great camera, enjoy!
hi Mark! will the camera still work while charging?
When the Go 3 is charging in the quick reader, it can not simultaneously record . When in quick reader can only charge (Go 3 is off) or transfer files (Go 3 is on when attached to Quik reader). Thanks for watching
Hi Mark, do you recommend an additional warranty? If so, which warrant would do you choose?
@@misslee8388 Thanks for watching miss Lee. I do not purchase an extended warranty. Stay well,
anybody know the max storage of sd card that we can use? is it 1TB max?
The max I use is 250GB, but I have seen discussions on Reddit where users say they have successfully used up to 1 TB. May want to check with Insta360 sales support for final answer. Thanks for watching.
@@markexploringnewstuff thank you! I just went ahead and bought 250GB too.
You legend!
Lol.
You're absolutely right Mark! I experienced the same exact thing at Disney this year. Left my ND on in a dark ride at Disney because it's just too much to process with Kids, navigating the parks, queues, lightning passes, etc. I could only see getting cinematic footage if you're VERY familiar with Disney! Great video and great advice!
Thanks so much, Tim. Video lighting changes fast as you move thru Disney.
@@markexploringnewstuff Very fast indeed. Plus, plans could change on a dime depending on weather, wait times, technical difficulties, etc.
Cool!
Thanks for watching.
Why would you even bother having positioning like that. Just buy a low profile boom arm. It’s far from designed to be used like that. 🤦🏼♂️
