    The bread at 2:50 looked and sounded very delicious. When you took a bite, the crunch was so clear. As for menemen, in my opinion, just tomatoes, green peppers, and eggs is sufficient for a great menemen. With a steaming cup of tea and some good bread you have a solid breakfast. All the best.

    Thanks so much, that's too kind!! I have never used Insta360 products, so I really can't say which is better, but personally I have always loved using the DJI Osmo Pocket cameras (and especially the Pocket 3) because of the mechanical gimbal stabilization. I've heard the Ace Pro is great too though. But you definitely can't go wrong with the Pocket!
