I think you were being a bit harsh on the quality of the bike. It looks good to me with regard to the brakes and gears which are excellent for a folder and won’t give you any problems that regular servicing won’t cure. It looks like it’s got a lot going for it and It’s certainly on my radar. The only way you can really comment on the quality is when you have ridden it for a couple of months on a regular basis and put some miles on it to see how well the plastic parts hold up.

@alaskanfrogman Жыл бұрын
The reason your ISS (image stabilization system) was jumping around is because you probably had your camera mounted on a tripod. Camcorder Image stabilizers struggles with and have conflicts if the camera is already stable. To use your camcorder on a tripod, disable and turn off the Image Stabilizer before filming. The issue of jitter and jumpiness should go away. It could also be that the stabilizer appeared to be jumpy because your lens setting auto-focus feature was enabled when you were filming your shallow depth of field shots. Setting your lens focus to manual will eliminate this problem if that's the case. When shooting macro, or shallow depth of field, auto-focus struggles because its focal point is moving, so the auto-focus is automatically adjusting to compensate for the lens movement on your topic or subject. This sometimes creates image stutter and jitter issues, thus making the footage appear jumpy. Turning off the auto-focus is the best and only way to correct auto-focus issues. When filming shallow depth of field, or filming macro, or close-up shots it's always best to shoot or film in manual mode anyway. To ensure your subject is in perfect focus as you film, manually zoom in and focus on your subject until it, she, he, or they are in clear sharp focus 'before filming' begins. This way you are in focus for the duration of your shoot. Some camcorders has a "Focus Assist" feature builtin to the lens barrel. The Focus Assist can be activated even in manual mode and will ensure that the camera's lens is properly and correctly focused on your target and subject matter of your shoots. Once in focus, the moment you release the focus assist button the lens reverts back to full manual mode. The focus won't change until you decide to change it. Often times a camcorder will have serious imaging issues because of the combined image stabilizer and the auto-focus feature, especially if a camcorder is mounted to a tripod. By using those features in manual mode (focus and stabilizer), the camera has a better chance of producing clear and sharp, steady images without issues of stutter, jittering or jumpiness.
