Just got one and having the same issue!!! 😢 not working
Nice review. I thought on getting the 360 2 in 1, but I was afraid the plastic on the right side would feel a bit uncomfortable while writing with the pencil.
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching! 🙏
nice job.
Thanks! 🙏
would a mage batt and DJI Mic fit
Yes. SmallRig has a USB adapter specifically for audio which can be used with the DJI Mic.
can you fit a wireless mic?
Good reviews bro, I think I need the protection of that supcase one. Thanks!
The SUPCASE is a good choice for that extra bit of protection; you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for watching! 🙏
I think the Ai module is not compatible with the older models yet. Sounds like a software update would make it so. But only time will tell. 🤔
Unfortunately the AI module is not compatible with previous versions of the Smooth 5 or 5S. Thanks for watching! 🙏
I really like the sound of your voice! And thanks for showing the installation-would’ve taken me a heck of a long time to figure it out on my own.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind compliment ☺️ I’m glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Hello! I just got my Vision Pro and I’m considering this! Can you give an update? Do you still use it? Thanks 👍
Still using it since I enjoy using the open face system more. It will keep pressure off your face as intended with the light seal. My only issue is that it needs to be removed when packing it for travel with the existing bags I own and reviewed in this channel.
After searching almost 100 Leather strap for my Ultra 2 finally after watching this video I found what I need - Thanks brother my search is complete - ❤
Awesome, glad you found this useful! The SANDMARC leather strap is great!
dose this gimble have motionlaps?
You can do motion timelapse with the ZY Cami app.
Great video, thanks for going into so much detail on it.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful fireplace. Did you install it? What brand is it? Thanks for the tutorial, Rey!
Thanks! The fireplace came with the house. I’m glad you found the video useful. 🙏
I just bought a gen 1 by mistake and I’m returning it tomorrow and trying to find a gen 2 locally
They are easy to mistake for one another.
My Aqara doesn't work as it should at all. It doesn't detect any motions and then the batteries died after 1 week. I replaced the batteries and then the alarm went off. Now the batteries ran out after a week because the alarm was sounded 12 hours without notifying me. I NEED help. Who can help me? a
Are all the updates applied? I would reset and reconfigure everything.
"Apple doesn't want you to bend"" ??? you could have made this video much shorter but the slow movement and nonsensical comments throughout made this a 15 minute review. yikes! i'm a no body so this comment will get buried anyway but i chuckled with all the side comments of this video...
Thank you excellent setup and demonstration.
Glad it was helpful! 🙏
And how you gonna miss place your damn bag with your fucking Apple Vision Pro in it it’s supposed to be the AirTag for when you get your shit stolen. The Apple vision itself thats if somebody takes it out of the bag. Why would you put an AirTag on the carrying case of an apple Vision Pro serves no purpose something that big you’re not gonna misplace it
You ok? I hope better days are in front of you. Take care! 🙏
He’s a terrible salesman if he was selling this to me this is terrible
👍
I have never been more infuriated with a product than the Backbone. Imagine making a device for mobile gaming and not taking into account that people would want to play without removing the case. Dumb as f**k. You can tell it was an American design. Thick as f**k
Does the Vision Pro fit in the Spigen case with the Annapro strap attached?
No, it will not fit in any case for the AVP that I’ve reviewed on my channel without removal. The cases can be forced closed with the strap attached but I wouldn’t recommend it as it could cause damage.
Did you format the card as aps
Format of the card didn’t matter in this case, it was a faulty module.
I didn't know you could actually "touch" the apps and stuff in the AVP environment. Cool. Is it easier to interact this way or with the hand gestures?
@@appl35au53 After using it for a bit it is easier to just keep your hands at your side and use the gestures. The “touch” capability would be more immersive/interactive if Apple developed some haptic “gloves” or similar.
@@ReyG_HKSH Controllers would be great too for the AVP.
Nice case but the Apple one fits my needs just fine and fits in my 30L backpack along with my camera gear when I travel.
The Apple case is a great choice but for those of us with smaller backpacks this case from Waterfield will do in a pinch ;)
The Apple case is the best one. Everything else is 🗑
@@appl35au53 All cases offer something. This Shield case is great if you want to travel with the AVP and keep it in an existing backpack.
This is great, thanks for putting it together! I have a DJI Osmo 6 and I hate that thing. Got it for compactness but I never use it because it doesn't behave like I expect a gimbal to behave. I like that I'll be able to track using the Blackmagic app like you show in the video. I'm actually ordering one via your Amazon link now.
THANK YOU for supporting the channel by using my affiliate links, it is MUCH appreciated! I think you’ll be happy with the purchase, this mobile smartphone gimbal is the gimbal I think a lot of us have been waiting for. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Nice video! Very helpful. I want to know where can I order the magsafe stand from?
Unfortunately the MagSafe stand from Benks seems to be discontinued. They may have suitable replacements available. Thanks for watching! 🙏
The USB-C Adapter only works for a mic, no ssd no battery pack!
Very detailed review. Much appreciated! Does this come with any type of selfie stick attachment?
It only comes with the tripod attachment but there is a mount on the bottom so you could extend the reach if needed. Thanks for watching! 🙏
@@ReyG_HKSH Appreciate the response. Thank you so much.
У меня прозрачный чехол от apple на нем не работает анимация когда надеваю на iPhone как это исправить?
Great review!!! Appreciate the time you spent. I’m considering buying to record my daughter’s basketball games. Likely to be in the bleachers mid court. Do you think the tracking could follow the action maybe half court to half court? I really like that I can keep it in Apple cam because we make cuts to the notes app. Will likely use it to splice and send to teammates this year while coaching in the regular season. Yay or nay sir?!?!
It could work for your use. You may need to monitor and (re)select her for tracking as she’s running up and down the court. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Dope, good review, thanks. Thinking about getting one, is the extra stuff with the pro version worth it?
Thanks for watching!🙏 It depends on if you need an extra fill light and/or carrying case. I just brought the gimbal with me on a trip and the case was pretty useful, so for me it was worth it.
@@ReyG_HKSH I was wondering the same. The case looks protective but is the the extra fill light needed since there is one already on the gimbal? Good review.
@@appl35au53 Yes, there is a full light built in. It helps if you find yourself vlogging or shooting a lot in the dark or poorly lit environments. It will be personal preference but it’s nice to have.
Can you attach non-magnetic 52mm filters to the mount? Or does it only work exclusively with SmallRig filters?
The filter mount is not threaded.
Great overview of this gimbal. Thanks
Hope it was useful. Thanks for watching! 🙏
I enjoyed traveling with this case along with their Air Porter backpack. This combo counted as one bag and fit under the seat even when stuffed. Now there's a backpack specifically for the AVP at Waterfield. I would've opted for that had it existed earlier but it seems best for local commuting/meetings. I keep my AVP in the Apple case at home.
Wow, just checked and that Waterfield backpack for AVP is $400+! I'll stick with the Apple case, I can fit it in my 30L backpack which I always bring with me when I travel.
@@TheLillianYoung I also mostly use the Shield Case when flying but if it’s a road trip or similar, I’ll pack the Vision Pro into the Apple Travel Case. I find it meets most of my usage. Thanks for watching!🙏
Spigen ultra hybrid vs esr hybrid which case provides better drop protection
Between those two, it’s a toss-up. Pick one and enjoy your iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Hey there! Great video! I was wondering if the iPhone 15 Pro Max fits vertically if there’s an apple watch below and the puck is up and not laying down flat?
Yes it does, but you don’t get the useful StandBy mode.
Using your link I ordered mine today, and I plan on using it with an 11W light seal for the widest field of view.
Awesome! I’ve been using this mostly without the light seal as an open-face system when I want to be productive. Still use it with the light seal for full-immersion when watching movies. I’d be curious to hear your experience once you’ve had the chance to use it a bit.
@@ReyG_HKSH so mines finally arrived today, I’ve tried using it the way that you said without the light seal. It seems somewhat comfortable, but there are some drawbacks to accuracy. I’ll give it a little more time, but my instincts or to put back on the light seal.
@@dlsme If you’re using it with the solo knit band make sure your band is in the same position as when you have the light seal attached before tightening it down.
Not everyone likes to show off their phone. This natural titanium is too bright that you want to mute it down with dark colors.
does backone have button for touchpad on ds4 or dualsense controller ?
For touch pad, you can use the on screen controls.
I just ordered one. Can’t wait for it. Also looking forward to your detailed review after using it for a while. 🎉
The open face system is great with the ANNAPRO and is how I’ve been using it the most. Thanks for watching! 🙏
They should have done it from day 1 as cases aren’t a new thing. Not risking taking my iPhone 13PM out every time to play PS5. Portal it’ll have to be.
Agreed, but if you ever upgrade to a USB C iPhone, it’s worth it.
What I don’t like about this case is that you have to bend the audio pods and it’s not a hard shell (and you have to remove the strap). And you have to pay the same price as Apple’s travel case 😂 Anyway thank you for your video 👍
I’m not sure the straps/audio pods are bent more than they would if strapped to your head, any bending seems minor. Agreed, on the price, a bit steep, but craftsmanship and materials are great.
The encase is for me.
Intresting🎉Thank You
Hi, veey informative. We dont have homekit or any other cloud storage. Will the recording stop oncebthe se memory is full or it allows us to empty the recording and atart fresh? Thanks.
The older recordings will start to be written over to accommodate new recordings.
What’s the thinnest but with magsafe
Hi what is the weight?
Does this mean that Gen 2 will not work with iPhone 13 Pro or is there a Lightening port version of Gen 2? Pls clarify
There is no lightning gen 2. If you want to use an iPhone with lightning port you will need to purchase that version.
One thing I really dislike that you can't use SSD and Sound same time
You can try using a USB-C hub and attaching everything to that.
This was super easy and now I'm all set - thanks for the great video!
You're so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to let me know you found it useful! 🙏
@@ReyG_HKSH All the locks in my home use a Schlage 6 pin C key way. Can I use a 6 pin C key way cylinder in the Encode Plus lock?
