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!

cycling biking to coney island beach with my mountain bike mtb GoPro hero 10 black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love the GoPro Hero 10 Black. I've always wanted to buy a GoPro so that I can record while on the go. I've tried it out when cycling on my Java Veloce road bike. But, I didn't use the chest mount as it is kinda cumbersome.

Before I had the GoPro, cycling to Coney Island, I thought to myself if only I had an action camera. Now, that I finally have it, using it to record my ride on the little island. Which is excellent for mountain biking. Though, it's not a mountain. It's fun for off-road riding.

You can watch my coney island cycling biking video here. It was my first time using the chest mount and I make the mistake of not testing it out first. So, the first few mins are videos of the road, my legs, and the handlebar. I keep it as it's a different point of view.

After I reach the beach, which is another reason why you want to go cycling on coney island. I reposition the camera again. Oh yeah, I took some pictures with the GoPro and it's actually not that bad. It's great if you want everything to be on the GoPro MicroSD card.

Having all your videos and pictures in one card makes it easy and faster to transfer to your mobile or PC. I'm the lazy type so, I like everything to be in one easy-access place. Though, I did take videos and pictures on my iPhone 13. Especially, when you want to upload the #shorts video.

I brought my Nikon P950 camera along too but decided not to use it. Makes me wonder if I need it anymore since, my mobile phones and GoPro seems already good enough. But, then I thought, I still like using the P950 mostly because of the zoom capabilities.

The problem for me is that I'll be needing a bigger backpack to bring all these stuff and their accessories. Of course, when you go cycling, you want to go light. But, I'm making videos for my youtube channel and other social media platform. So, I need to bring them along.

Yes, I already have bike bags if you're wondering. But, I prefer a backpack so that they'll always be with me and I don't have to worry about them being stolen if I leave them on my bicycle bags. I also don't want to put bike bags on my road bike. 



DJI Mavic 3 Fly More Combo - Camera Drone with 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera, 5.1K Video, Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing, 46-Min Flight, Advanced Auto Return, Max 15km Video Transmission

One day, I might want to get a drone that has the 'follow me' feature. I cycle alone and although there are ways to record yourself riding, having a drone that follows and record you in action will be practical and way cool. I'll need to save up though as they're pretty expensive.

I've played with drone and there are skill sets to master. Also, there are some place where drone are ban. You'll have to be mindful of that when using drone. Technology is good when it's for good reason but when people starts to abuse it's usage, we all suffer.

The pic is my foldable mountain bike. Some don't like it and saying thing such as it's crap. Just because, it's cheap doesn't mean it's not good. I cycle to work with this bike and also when going cycling. The bike is serving me well on my adventure.

Yesterday, I saw a cycler with his big tires type mountain bike. I was wondering why he's pushing his bike when I saw the front flat. His bike looks rather new. Just shows, big tires can easily get punctured too. Another reason why I got the foldable. So, that I can chuck it inside a cab when needs to.

Download Play More Nintendo Switch Games With 512GB MicroSD Card

Samsung (MB-ME512GA/AM) 512GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC Evo Select Memory Card with Adapter

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've bought the original Nintendo Switch in the early days, sold it, and got myself the Nintendo Switch lite. Personally, I prefer the Lite because it's much smaller and portable than the big brother. But, I wish, I'll be able to dock to and play on my big screen Tv.

I have a youtube channel and lots of guys complain in the comment section about the screen being too small to play some of their favorite games. So, I think, Nintendo should make a Switch lite that can also dock. I'm pretty sure, a lot of Nintendo gamers would appreciate that.

Another big complaint is of course the small storage size. I mean, the Nintendo game version today even if it's free-to-play is pretty big. Up to 30-60GB and even more. I've bought the 256GB and finally upgrade it to a 512GB MicroSD card.

I'm already left with 100GB of storage because I kept buying and downloading more games. The special prize is pretty enticing. Especially, now with old popular PC games available for the Nintendo Switch. I don't care if I already have it on Steam, I want it for my Switch too!



SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 160MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-1T00-GN6MA

I'm thinking of maybe one day trying the 1TB MicroSD card on my Nintendo Switch. Hopefully, there'll be a 2TB or even higher version that can be used for gaming on the Switch. Some people might ask what the hell for (someone actually asked me on the comment section before)?

Well, I'm the type of person who likes to buy and download games on my Nintendo Switch. I like the feeling of having all the games to play on the go whenever I want. I do sometimes, get the physical version too. But, nowadays, most of them are digital downloads from Nintendo online stores.



SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 100MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUAR-400G-GN6MA

Another question that I always received in my comment section about the card is why it doesn't show the 512GB advertised storage size. It's an old technical story and you can read about it on Google. Just do a quick search. Although, I've also read that now there is a card that shows the exact size.

Unless the manufacturer does something about it, you'll find when you check the card available left is a little less than 512GB. I think mine is shown to have 475GB. I also think most of them that asked me about this are kids that didn't know or bother to read about the history of the MicroSD card.

Another important thing to note is the read and write speed. I basically tried my luck when I got myself the 512GB microSD card. I got the fastest and the best affordable price. The standard read is 100mb/s and the write is 90mb/s. Class 10 with 4K ability.

There are some cards that claim up to 160mb/s read. Personally, I didn't find any kind of lag or stutters when I played games stored on my MicroSD card. Everything seems to be running smoothly and don't have any kind of weird problem like some others complain.

My advice if you have any kind of problem with the card is to test with other devices. If it works on other devices, probably need to reformat it on your PC. If not, it's probably a bad card. Return or exchange for a new one. Be careful of fake cheap cards!

Nikon Coolpix P950 - 83x Optical ZOOM 16MP 4K UHD - unboxing

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera - Bundle - (26532) USA Model + Color Multicoated 6pcs Filter Set + 2x EN-EL20 Battery + 2x SanDisk?Extreme PRO 64GB Card + Large Case + 12 Inch Flexible Tripod + More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! I got myself the Nikon Coolpix P950. And, I got it for half the price. It's a demo unit but, it's still in pristine condition. So far, it works pretty well. I'm a newbie and this is pretty much my first digital camera. I have used the old camera with film back in the days but even then it's not mine.

I have always wanted to get myself a good camera but never actually get to it. I love taking pictures and videos with my phone. When I saw the P900, P1000, and then P950, I was pretty intrigued with their zooming capabilities. Who wouldn't?



Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera - Bundle - (26532) USA Model + Color Multicoated 6pcs Filter Set + 2x EN-EL20 Battery + 2x SanDisk?Extreme PRO 64GB Card + Large Case + 12 Inch Flexible Tripod + More

I actually wanted to get myself the P1000. Because it can zoom to 3000mm. Why limit yourself when you can go to that extreme? Of course, there're pros and cons. Every product has its pros and cons. It's whether you can live with it or simply doesn't bother you. Everyone has their own 'opinions'.

For example, I saw a channel where at first this guy praises the P950. Later on, he said, he's selling it off or whatever. Like I said, everyone has their own opinion and every product isn't perfect. It's the same with the P1000. Some people might like the zoom but definitely not the size and weight that goes with it.



Nikon COOLPIX P1000 Digital Camera with Essential Accessory Bundle - Includes: SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC, 160 LED Video Light, 60” Professional Tripod, Seller Supplied Replacement Battery & Much More

There's the rumor about the upcoming P1100. Not sure if it's true. But, it'll be interesting if Nikon can fix whatever problem people been complaining about the P1000 and P950. One of the problems I heard is the problem of the camera image with low light. 

I've been testing out the P950 since yesterday and I would have to agree. I tried taking video at night and I see lots of noises. I even worry how bad it'll look if I upload it to my youtube channel. I read from a comment that a guy shot his video in 4K and then upload it to 1080P for better videos.



Caden Camera Bag Case Shoulder Messenger Photography Bag with Laptop Compartment 14", Tripod Holder, Compatible for Nikon, Canon, Sony, DSLR SLR Mirrorless Cameras Waterproof Black

I tried looking for the 4K feature and I can't find it. I'm a newbie so I'm not really sure what's the resolution is. All I know is that I've set it to auto and it's in 1080p(25p). Anyway, once I edit my video and save it to 1080p, my video actually looks a little sharper.

I was a little happier with the night video footage that I've uploaded on my channel. Check out the video here. I'm also open to tips and suggestions for taking better videos and pictures with the P950. In fact, I've been going around watching videos on the camera and even some photography channels.



SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXY-128G-GN4IN

There seems to be a war on SD vs MicroSD in the camera world. The other day, I read that an SD card is much better because if you use a MicroSD card, you'll need an adapter. That adapter apparently is the weak link. Although, I've read both opinions and they both have their points.

Well, yesterday, I went to get myself an SD card and nobody seems to be selling it. In the end, I went back to the camera shop and got myself the MicroSD card. I already got so many adapters so I just used the Samsung version to be safe.



SanDisk 200GB Ultra MicroSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 120MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUA4-200G-GN6MA

I was pleasantly surprised when the camera immediately recognizes the MicroSD card with the adapter. So, I took some pictures and videos. I was really excited and love the zooming capability. I've been dreaming of playing with the camera for a long while. 

Everything was smooth and even the card works great. It wasn't slow or anything. It was also pretty fast when I transfer the pictures and videos to my laptop. My HP laptop coincidentally has an SD card reader. Kinda weird as most laptops have a MicroSD card.

I've ordered myself a camera bag, and an SD card online but I might get a MicroSD card too. Which is actually cheaper. I think the camera manufacture could once and for all solved the dilemma. They should update their camera line by using MicroSD like every other electronic device in the world right now!
