Why Garmin Should Buy GoPro
Now that GoPro have launched the Hero 13 Black we can see what direction GoPro is going with its product development. In this video I share my thoughts on why you should be as concerned about GoPro's future as I am, and what they can do about it.
Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching.

    I'm new to the avata 2, I agree with you about having more fun flying low level hitting gaps and spaces, keep your crashes in the videos it's real flying and also entertaining. you have the goggles so you can pair it with Mini 4 pro and motion 3 controller. this is the first video i seen from your channel so yes drone vids is why I subbed and liked..

  • @gunn1ng
    @gunn1ng День тому

    Great video. You kind of forgot about APS-C lenses for travel with your A7CR. The Sony E 15mm f1.4 G is high quality, tiny and gives a full frame equiv. of 22.5mm and F2! It's not the 24GM, but man is it luggable for travel at 219g vs 445g.

    • @ThisIsJulianC

    9:04 Some good choices. I don't have an a7Rc, but I'm tempted. However I'm just about to buy an a7Rv instead (better ergo, dual cards, full HDMI etc). Like you I have a lot of glass and can't carry it all, especially for travel. Anyway if I was using an a7Cii or a7Rc for discrete/compact then.... a) I'd lose the 16-35 GM. In fact I just sold mine before mkii announced. I may yet buy the mkii, but I have a (travel friendly) PZ 16-35 f4 G. It's a fraction the size/weight of GM, prob just as sharp in real world use. Also most landscape or architecture doesn't need f2.8. All that said, I might still leave the 16-35 at home and sub in the superb 20mm f1.8 G prime. That will look discrete, handle landscape, astro, night, architecture, video etc etc. b) My 2nd lens would be the 35mm f1.8 G. It's super sharp, pretty small, fast etc. Would be ideal for street, environmental portraits, landscape, night and is 1+ stops faster than the 40mm or any mid range zoom. I also have and prefer my GM f1.4 35mm, but for light travel I'd pack my f1.8 G instead. c) I also have/like the 55mm Zeiss for it's quality and speed and superb quality. IMO it pairs well with a 35mm (maybe better than a 40). I also have the lovely 50mm f1.4 GM and a 24-70 f2.8 GM mkii - both of which I use more than my 55 Zeiss. But for light travel the 55 f1.8 Zeiss is the 'no brainer' choice. d) If I still had space then I'd consider also packing the much underated 85mm f1.8 G. It's pretty small, fast, affordable and I'm going to keep mine even if/when I buy the new 85mm f1.4 GM mkii. Depending on the travel size constraint or anticipated subjects, then I might take an 85mm f1.8 instead of a 55mm. But it's a hard choice. Given an a7Rc then 61Mp gives a lot of cropping flexibility. So a 55 or 85 could be cropped to something like an 87mm or 135mm equiv in APS-C mode. Equally a 20mm could do service as a fast cropped 30mm equiv (great street?) or a 35 f1.8 could then sub for the 55mm Zeiss. In lieu of a tripod I might try and squeeze in a small good quality table pod, Plattypod, or other custom clamp. But IBIS and good technique would go a long way to obviating the need for any pod. In summary IMO a 20mm f1.8,G + 55mm f1.8 Zeiss (with an APS-C crop option at 26Mb in camera or post) would make a 'killer' combo. If 3 small lenses permitted, then I'd appreciate either 20 + 35 + 55 or 85 mm (all f1.8). Might any of above modify your, otherwise quite similar, opinions?

    • @ThisIsJulianC
      @ThisIsJulianC 19 хвилин тому

      Those are great choices. I hear a lot about how good the 20mm 1.8 is, it is on my list. For any landscape travel I still use the Manfrotto BeFree Carbon tripod, I had a Platypod from when they were first launched but didn't take to it. I could try your combo on my next trip but I think I would miss having one zoom lens with me. I recently bought the G 16-25 2.8 as an alternative to carrying the 16-35 2.8 mk1 around. I'll travel with it and see if it makes a good alternative. That plus the two primes you are thinking of would still make my camera bag larger than it should be, but will be a lot lighter than it is today once hat 16-35 is out of it. Maybe I should just try your two primes!

I struggle starting to cycle again in the spring after the long cold winters here in Idaho and a Wahoo Kickr seem to be a great trainer to at least try an maintain my fitness level. I'm not sure about the Zwift program but it sounds like it can be at least more entertaining than staring at a wall. Found an unused/unopened V4 kickr that's in my price range that may be the way I go! Thanks again.

    • @ThisIsJulianC

      Glad it helped. You don’t need Zwift but it does give you a much more immersive experience. I am usually watching something on a TV so I don’t pay too much attention to the avatar on the Zwift app, but it gives a feeling of actually cycling with other people. And I use it for the workouts that I do. Enjoy it! 👍

    I'm a senior on a fixed income, so I can't afford your camera gear, but when traveling light, I will go with my Sony A7riii, Tamron 20mm f2.8, Sigma 65 f2, and Sigma 90mm. All are very sharp and small, and I can pack them in a small over-the-shoulder camera bag. I am most amazed at the Sigma 90mm f2.8...truly one of the most miniature lenses I own. It's one of those great Len's secrets that few people know about. Amazingly, such a small lens is 90mm. Sometimes, I will also take my Sigma 16-28 f2.8 lens. I also have the Sony 85mm 1.8, Samsung 135 f1.8, an old, banged up, dented Sony 24-70 f2.8 GM, and Sigma 100-400. They all serve a purpose and still give me excellent quality, though not high-quality gear.

    Great camera but completely agree re the position of the On-Off lug, drives me mad! Got used to the SD card position now. It's amazingly powerful and competent camera in such a compact body. I bought it for lightweight touring on a motorcycle, the ability to crop in saves taking long lenses. I carry an 18mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.8 and a Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 which will also close-focus plus an Insta360 X4. Sometimes I will take the Sony 28-60mm f/4-5.6 if I'm traveling in 'dodgy' areas. I also have A9 and A7Riv bodies for studio, sports photography etc. Keep up the good work, just subscribed.

Should be able to see the horizon ahead and get some indication of the steepness of the climb. Stay as central over the bike as you can, if you are swaying left to right while climbing it would be a difficult clip to edit.

    If the radar prevents a collision from behind… Why the need for a camera ? In case of an accident, THEY need to miss your light and YOU have to ignore their approach. If there is a collision after that, you might as well call it an attempt on your life ! 4 to 6 hours is not enough for me anyway. And keep in mind that battery life never improves and only deteriorates over time. And it is not replaceable.

    I don’t get how people get such battery life the only time I’ve managed over a week is on holiday with no activities logged with loads of lux hours. Usually get a week at most with 4/5 activities tracked. It’s a Fenix 7 x Solar and only 9 months old.

    • @ThisIsJulianC
      @ThisIsJulianC 16 днів тому

      That sounds very short for a Fenix 7X. Mine is now 2.5 years old, 6-8 hours of working out each week, I generally charge it every two weeks and it is at 30-40% battery. Yours will still be under warranty, you could have a call with Garmin tech support to see what’s going on.

    Thanks for the review. I’m curious, when you run with the camera are you holding it all the time? Do you store it anywhere when you’re not using it on a run or race and then bring it when you do want to film something? If so what do you use to keep it secure. I can’t imagine running a half marathon or a long run holding a camera the whole way, for me that would be a bit uncomfortable. Thanks

    • @ThisIsJulianC
      @ThisIsJulianC 16 днів тому

      Yes, I hold it throughout. With X4 I put the lens cover on if I know I am not going to film for a mile or so. For longer runs (over 8 miles) or races I do not carry a camera.

    GoPro been public is its biggest problem now a days. Like to many American companies this leads to little money for RD and innovation. It's not its only problem but just one of many.

      If it was in private hands again maybe there would be more focus on R&D and innovation, although there is no guarantee that would happen.

    My travel kit : A7cR + Sony 16-35 f4 PZ + Tamron 50-300 + Samyang 35mm F1.8 All have very very good feedbacks in the tests for their Image quality on A7RV and are compact in their categories.

    I dunno man... I bought a $3000 Sony 12-24 GM F2.8 last night... and just the preliminary stuff ive seen with it is mind blowing.... My camera gear was all 20 years old, I had one high end canon lens left, and I just decided I wanted to drop the cash for another 20 year set up

    • @ThisIsJulianC
      @ThisIsJulianC 10 днів тому

      Modern lenses especially Canon RF L and Sony GM are going to compete very well even with older Canon EF L lenses like these. A lot of progress has been made with lens element designs, glass coatings and fast autofocus motors. Glad you like the 12-24 too 👍

    Thanks for the video. It’s saved me so much time clearing up my brain from the noise and confusion of a gazillion options. I like your practical grounded video. I just bought my first Garmin (Epix Pro). I love your blue/orange which I just ordered. You have a silicone teal one in your video, is that one an Ancool one, I cannot find it.
