Up to now, the power bank is still working. As it is a first generation power bank, it charges quite slowly for full 10400 mAh capacity.

I haven't tried. I do think that fogging is still a problem even with this lens guard. The heat generated inside the lens guard still has no way out but can be solved by removing the guard when it happens.

@kslam5733 I thought you might say that ,lol. Hence I'm going for the removable ones. And yes, there is an x3 removable ones that recently came out. It's on the official insta360 store. I'm getting that for convenience and use anti fog spray from time to time

The new guard is not sealed tightly as the old one. There may be space for heat coming out but may not be wide enough. Still worth trying because it is removable!

Think about even without this lens guard, rain would still drop on the oval glass and would affect the photos taken. There is no difference whether with or without this vented lens guard. So taking pictures in rainy days is troublesome to not only X3 but all cameras! The concerns are around how to dry out the water sipping in through the 4 vents. If rain is not heavy, rain would not easily get in the lens guard through the small vents. If it rains heavily, rain may sip in through the vents. Simply shake the water out from inside the lens guard first; use air blower to dry it if available; If necessary, may take away the lens guard easily since there are only 4 small pads adhered. Reinstall it is also easy just with the adhesive tape.

@@kslam5733 I'm concerned with this method as I'm filming while riding motorcycle. This afraid dust get in and scratch the main lens

​​@@jasonkwcThe fogging problem of the lens guard is intrinsic. This is because there is no sealing off between the lens and the battery compartment. Heat generated from the battery would dissipate through the edges around the oval lens. If the lens guard covers it tightly as it is advertised, heat has no way out. If temperature inside is higher than outside fogging would happen. There are no other ways round except for giving vents for dissipating this heat. If riding motorcycle, the chance of getting fogging would be higher. Because the wind blown through around the oval lens guard would lower the outside temperature while the inside temperature is building up. I have tried many tests to find out this is the best among others.

Are you using original or OEM lens guard for this? Thank you for sharing.

​@@andrewwan3406I use the original which is quite crystal clear. I haven't used the OEM guard. As it is closely related to the quality of the photos taken I prefer invest more on this.

Not fully understand the text translated. The thickness of the threat depends on what you want to sew. From my experience, use good quality and not too thin thread is the golden rule. The thread needs to pass through many edges of the machine, It is easy to break. You also need to use proper size of needle and right thickness of thread, they need to match. All these should be learned through practices by yourself.

You would love it more if use it more in your daily life. Thank you for giving this wonderful feedback.

I’m having the same problem, have you figured it your yet?

Thanks for your idea. The bobbin driver is guite hard to be pulled out by magnet. As it is not always needed to move the driver out, using plier just once or twice does not matter.

1. Tighten the small flat on the side of the bobbin. 2. If not work, tighten the upper thread knob. The result is the bottom thread cannot move the upper thread too much. Bottom thread would be tightened then.

@@kslam5733 thanks. It’s working now

My top threads tears when I sew leather, it’s fine with nylons. What did you do to stop it from tearing your thread?

@@TheBrad605 may be the thread is too thin for leather. use thicker thread would solve.

The tape is heat resistant and so it is good to use in this temperature sensitive environment. I don't know how it is called but we call it 'gold 'tape. If you DIY, you can use quality cells. Certainly the price would be higher than those of new power banks as they would usually use cheaper cells. I used quality cells so the price is a bit higher. I enjoyed the DIY process and would not consider the price as this MI power bank is my first bank bought around 2013.

Normally, using needle 14-16 is quite good for soft leather and greater than 16 for more thicker leather. I often use 16 for my daily repair works - shoes, belt, bags. The thread is usually TEX 40. Thread and needle need to be paired: thread should be slim enough to fit the needle groove. If not, it will break when it jams with the needle going through the hole on the metal plate. Even if it can go through the hole, it will not form a loop for the bobbin hoke to catch and wrap around the bobbin case due to thight friction.

Do you mean the iron flat plate on top of the bar? the hole comes with the plate because the plate can be used both sides, it is for fitting onto the extrude point for fixing the plate. My bobbins do not have holes on them. If there is, it is for easy threading of the bobbin.

You know the ways how this little wonder works and describe in words clearly. Hope you can find more from this 'museum collection' item. Thanks for watching.

I hope so, but at this moment I am quite indulged in other interesting things such as electronics and 3D drawing. I would take it up when time permits.

you are welcome.

Thanks for your encouragement. Hope you can find fun in using the little machine.

Thanks for comments. Hope you can get the best from my videos.

Nice to see my videos still play a role in solving the sewing problems when using this little machine. Thanks for watching.

You are welcome. Happy to see you can find hints to the issues you encountered after watching the videos.

@@kslam5733 Thank you sir.

This google translated Chinese is not up to my level of understanding. I cannot catch what your issue with the machine. Still, thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching. The cell phone compartment is the main reason why I DIY this small bag. I could not find one suitable for bringing all my personal stuff such as ID card, credit card, cash, keys and above all the cell phone in the market.

I bought them from Chinese e-shop, the link is as follows : czcams.com/users/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazNxc2pPTDhRTFQzZmlKLUlUa0pGNEZhLWN5QXxBQ3Jtc0trTnZkYzdTcUhNMGxLNGhwempxNzQ0MWh0S1RTRDl3a0M4NHFfTVFnMklGN1RYX2ZLa21WREZyUk9TUVFtNDY5bkdwMERDTF94MTJEb3pVaHZud1pORDZPN3p2RkxFQjR0VXhpb2tZNV9uWk4xQmdvdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fitem.taobao.com%2Fitem.htm%3Fspm%3Da1z10.5-c-s.w4002-16115355381.42.24505c5alakYoy%26id%3D529266903125&stzid=UgzhtghmsSJReN5S1TB4AaABAg.9NLmPx0AHcJ9NM7cKLc7Fr

Thanks, hope that it helps people understand more the machine, and more confident they can be to deal with any issues happened.

Only by hand: move up the presser foot (disable it), move the fabric each time to a suitable length, then turn the needle down to sew.

Do you mean "get the foot to work" again ？ Describe more about the issue you are encountering.

There are many reasons for buying the patcher if DIY is part of your life. It is indeed a basic tool like those screwdrivers, pliers and hammer. Thanks for giving your words of appreciation.

thanks for your feedback. If you use thicker thread, the gap the magnetic guide raised would not allow the thread jam inside so this would help eliminate the problem. Thanks also for your suggestions using rubber band to reduce the magnetic force.
