    Pincushion distortion is a thing eh. I guess I agree, the resolution could highly improve the picture when you destretch the image during editing. I like it that insta constantly improves their products with mostly very useful things. What about the stability? Are you happy with it?

    That integration with the data analytics from the watch is a sweet feature. A few years ago Dale did a few videos where he jerry-rigged something similar, but I understand it was a lot of work. Heart rate integration was especially cool. Personally, I really like the perspective these 360 cameras offer, especially when on the steeps. I know some people get annoyed with peripheral distortion, but that doesn’t bug me personally. On that front, if I’m not mistaken, it seems that the peripheral distortion is lessened with this new model… would you agree? Or does is it just that it doesn’t bother me?

    • @VanCan
      @VanCan  2 місяці тому +2

      With more resolution you can crop in a bit more
      And reduce the distortion, which is what I’ve done a bit more in this video

      Seems to be in that I do the same thing with the X4 as I did with the X3. That is, I usually find the angle I want near the beginning of the clip, but a keyframe there, then export.

    OK I’m gonna start by saying I liked your video button liking your video. I saw the little picture on the screen it looked like it was a guy with a catchers mask on. I thought I was gonna get to see 8K 360 breaking balls or curveballs or knuckleballs I didn’t get that I got a guy riding a bicycle made my hind end pucker! OK that’s all forgiven because it was a really cool video I did subscribe and I don’t do that nilly Willy ?? But I still really want to see one attached to a catchers mask don’t even have to be a good picture just saying.
    Lol? Sorta.

    Ive been looking forward to this kind of update in the 360 space. How does it do in low light for riding. Something more typical of North Shore riding. I never use my One X for riding because the low light performance is not good. Im south of the border from you so i often get similar lighting conditions. Grey gloomy days in the woods. Its tough to shoot in those conditions, but my other action game does just fine.

    • @VanCan
      @VanCan  2 місяці тому +2

      the X4 is much better than the one X in low light. The wood skinny clips are in Squamish and that forest is relatively dark.

  • @piotrjanik
    @piotrjanik Місяць тому

    Unpopular question: is ruining the quality of your footage, and thus your channel, worth the sponsorship? Let's be honest, this is nowhere near the quality of a GoPro or any other decent traditional action camera. It's actually a bit awkward and tiring to watch long-term. I agree 360 cams are cool and have their uses, but frankly, biking looks like the worst application for them. There is barely any advantage to 360 footage, and the quality in high-contrast forests is just painful. The dynamic range and all the beautiful lighting you can get in the forest are actually detrimental to these cams. And I'm saying that after actually buying the X4 and trying it myself. I'll probably keep it for skiing and experiments, but I'm not impressed so far.
