it took me 9 mins cycling on my java j air fuoco gold road bike from punggol park to lor halus red bridge

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I have cycled to lor halus (google map) from punggol park (google map) a couple of times and was wondering how fast can I ride straight without stopping on my new Java J Air Fuoco road bike. I'm not a pro or even young. I have two bad knees and a slipped disc. My tummy won't allow me to go aero.

I'm still new to the bike and playing around with the 22-speed while cycling. I do cycles on my mountain bike to and fro from my house to work daily. So, I at least have some level of fitness. According to my Strava, I managed to reach the bridge which is 3.51km within 9:08 mins.

I do believe someone younger and fitter could get even lower timing. But, you'll have to be careful and watch your speed sometimes because there are many other cyclists and joggers blocking your way. Some like to hog the lane as if they own it.

My stats on Strava shows that my average speed was 23.1km/h. Avg Power is 207W. Frankly, I didn't really want to push myself harder as I've said, I'm not a pro or young. I have to take care not to hurt my knees and back further. That's why I believe someone could do a better timing.

If you're wondering, I used my GoPro Hero 10 to record this video. Someone asked me about the action camera the other day and I'm totally recommending it. I've had no issues taking videos and even pictures. You can check some of the videos I took on my youtube channel here.

I also told the guy about the Insta360 camera. He wasn't really interested in it. His mind seems set on the GoPro. He told me that some people complain about Hero10 and some say stick with Hero9. I told him, not to listen to what people 'think' too much and just go for whichever camera he wanted.

The fact of the matter is that every product has its pros and cons. You work through those. I had fun with my GoPro but then I did the mistake of putting a bloated battery inside it and got stuck. I did get it out but now it's not working. I'll send it for repair later, one day.

I decided to get the Insta360 because I was intrigued by the ability to hide the selfie stick. I didn't understand how it work at first as the holder keeps showing and blocking the view. I thought I needed software or the stick I got was a cheap fake. Turn out, I needn't put an extra camera adapter on it.

You just need to put the Insta360 camera on the stick and you don't even need to turn it towards you when taking video. It'll take a 360 view of the surrounding area and you can choose and edit the frame later. You don't need to take several different views or angle shots. Really cool!

My friends and family were asking and wondering how I took a back-view video of me cycling. Of course, I just need to put the selfie stick behind me by using the bike frame clamp. The way the 360 camera works, the blind spot under the camera won't show the stick. Voila!

I'm really beginning to love the Insta360 X3 camera. And, there's even free video editing software and more free cool features you can add to your video. They have several other products too. Depends on what you're going for and need. I'll be making more videos with the X3 so subscribe to my channel!

Insta360 X3 Cycling on my Raleigh mountain bike to the Japanese Cemetery Park

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to get myself the Insta360 X3 action camera because my GoPro Hero10 went dead on me. It's my own fault as I forced one of the bloated batteries into the battery compartment without thinking. Something happened while prying it out and now it wouldn't charge or turn on again.

I'm going to get it repaired, someday. Meanwhile, I'm glad I got myself the Insta360. I've been considering it between the GoPro back then. I'm glad I waited as the X3 is super-awesome. The main reason I wanted it is because you can hide the selfie stick view in the video. Which is a cool feature.

Someone asked me about my GoPro Hero10 the other day. He has been pondering about getting it for years. I told him, it took me a while too to finally get it. And, I simply love it. My friend even commented about how good the quality of the video I took.

I did tell the guy about the Insta360 camera. But, his mind seems set on the GoPro. It's a brand name that people associate with quality videos. And, he's right. But, the insta360 offered something more and something different. Especially, for a cyclist who likes to make videos like me.

Now, with an Insta360 X3, I don't need to keep asking my nephew or anyone else to come along with me to go cycling or hiking. I can go solo and record myself. People won't know that I'm actually using a selfie stick. Just a moment ago, my friend asked how I record myself riding from behind? Lol.

I showed my niece a bit of my video on my insta360 yesterday and she was wondering where did I mount my camera. I told them all that you can basically mount it on any part of the bike. I also realized, I need another camera mount to support the stick as using one main isn't strong enough to support it.

If you want to mount your selfie stick on your bike, you need a good strong holder. The insta360 camera is a tad heavy and your selfie stick will probably slide down. That's why I decided to buy another mount with a double clamp. That'll hold it up. 

When going out cycling, most of the time, I'll carry a backpack. Yesterday, I got the idea of putting the selfie stick inside and there's actually a small holder that I can use to hold the stick straight up. I think it's supposed to be used as a key holder. That's a plus. I got a good top-down camera view.

The Insta360 X3 desktop and phone app is very good too. You can also watch some tutorials and videos from other users. I found the editing software to be simple, fast, and easy to use. I didn't understand how to use the keyframe at first but once you know how, you're set!

You can export your video to your favorite video editing software and upload it to your youtube channel or wherever. I'm not sure if you can edit direct without taking the MicroSD card out from the camera. I decided to use an adapter and transfer it to my MacBook after a few tries.

The video I uploaded on my youtube channel is the first one I took using my new Insta360 X3 action camera. And, it's been a blast. I love how you can set it to your choice keyframe from just one video. It is a 360-degree camera so you can choose from various points of view. Cool!
