How do I boot from it?
In my model you would boot from an SD card. You can also now boot from these hardrives but if you are planning to raid them my suggestions is just use SD card and raid the two devices so you have access to all of the drive not just a partition. Also, putting the OS on the NVME drives and then raiding is an risk IMO. I prefer just OS on SD card to boot then keeping all the space on the drives for raid. Cheers.
The 12v battery won't power the mini over the included cable. Too much voltage drop over 50ft. You can run a voltage boost converter. But the best solution currently is to get a 24v or 48v battery. No conversion losses.
Yes with the shorter cord I show in video no voltage drop as it's only 3 ft. Cheers
It doesn't overheat. So there's that.
This is true
Great video, this was very helpful, thank you. Incredible deal on amazon right now on the second power bank.
Hey Billy thanks so much mate! I appreciate it. Still blown away by this tech man!
I'm a very small channel and my camera died for no reason (Insta360 go2), which is not great. I don't think my channel matter's at all in the situation though. They replaced it completely free with no hassle, so surprising to see this, unfortunate. there repair service if needed is also nice. I hope to hear better thing's in the future about them also, has been a great camera for what I use it for otherwise.
Yea I'm dealing with a go3 return and it's a nightmare compared to DJI. My 4 month old go3 bricked and I have to pay post for them to decide if they will honor warranty. Not impressed.
@@HillPhantom that's odd, srry to hear that. I'm in Canada and only few months ago, I sent it away, got a brand new insta360 Go2, and they sent it back, all no charge what so ever, completely free, no hassle what so ever, all within 2 weeks. sorry your experience isn't the same. I have never even made a video about the camera, I just use it on my drone because of the weight, and it's perfect for that. same thing with mine though, didn't crash or anything and just would not recharge or connect to the case, I think it was the battery for mine. hope they replace yours !
@@ghostdropfpv great drone videos, don't you just love to fly, I love it! Just subbed keep up the good work man. Glad to here they took care of you, hoping thats the same experience for me, cheers!
@@HillPhantom Oh nice thanksss !!!! appreciate it ! subbed back to, like seeing tech review stuff ! Love flying so much, got into it about year and half ago now and hope to do it for a very long time, wish I started sooner, better late then never though lol. if haven't tried FPV I recommend it for sure, EMAX is good cheap brand to learn with if interested at all. I really hope they come through for you also, and start hearing some positive things about them. if not though very shady and very unfortunate to see, just thought I'd share seeing as I had a really good experience with them, was hoping more people had the same experience because it was pretty nice to have it all dealt with quickly and easily. hope the best for yeah !
Do you think a hardshell case would be appropriate? If you put it in the hydration bladder sleeve but really stuff the pack, will it crack the dish?
Be great I think but these dishes are tough. I'm always amazed to see them in Ukraine in crazy conditions.
No bro your statements are contradictory. Absolutely no idea what you mean
cool I have no idea what you mean either....
How do we know you’re not incentivized by another competitor to make this video?
All I can do is give you my word that I am 100 percent not incentivized by anyone yet alone a competitor. I do this as a hobby and I can assure you I'm honest and not paid by anyone. I'm actually lose money doing these videos :(. But again all I can offer is my honesty and word that I'm not sponsored by anyone...
Actually did a video discussion my delimia....
@@HillPhantom Thanks for the reply. I want an action camera mainly for motorcycle vlogging. I´m planning to do morning and night content. I saw in one of your comment replies that there's a way to make the action 4 take good videos during the night, so I'm not sure if I should go for the ace pro or the action 4. Which one would you recommend?
@@lofdz welcome and thanks you! So I actually think the ACE is awesome in low light and for low light stability its best in class by far IMO. You can make the DJI Action for do a bit better by shooting in manual and D - Log but I still think in low light in regards to stability the ACE Pro wins. I personally like the DJI better but honestly I think in your use case I personally might lean a bit more into the ACE pro. I know that sounds odd coming from me but.......I think for the low light stability and for vlogging, the flip up screen is pretty awesome for vlogging, I personally prob give a slight edge to ACE. Just my two cents tho mate.
Does anyone know if in a pinch, can the AC180 be charged by plugging into a gas generator,?
Absolutely can! Be best if it's an invertor pure syn generator
Can you move it and also maintain connection?
Sure can folks using them on boarts and cars in motion! Pretty cool
Hello, I just discovered your video! Wouldn't it be easier to enlarge the holes of the Pimoroni Base in order to clip it on the utronic tray?
Good call! But the issue I had is with the standoffs and because I am using a POE Power hat, it stack was too high to fit into the slot of the server caddy. Plus I think I just wanted to cut metal lol. Cheers mate!
@@HillPhantom Thx for the reply !
@@thekatkar2494 thanks for the comment and idea! Cheers
It should retail for $30-40 like the 1,000 drones in its category
I Bought the ser6 max 9 months ago and in the last few days I noticed the power cord problem although it works fine but I'm just worried about it But I saw some people on reddit saying that you can power it with usb-c cable but you'll need a 100w adapter I think
Yea I'm not certain why they made the choice. I miss mine. You can power with USBC I was just turned off by that bc it takes up a port then and I need all of them for my peripherals. Great little machime besides that tho!
Totally, than you for your honesty, the battery issue would be a deal breaker
Your very welcome ths knyou for your comment!!! Cheers
i just want to know if it will follow me in a crowd.
That's a great question. I am not sure. And I hate crowds so can't test sadly
Thank you for you honest review 🙏🏽
Thank you sir for the watch! Cheers
Not sure what's happening here....
Its an AI program that you can train to overlay another person's face on your own in real time. So in this instance this is some guy, using this AI script and model, to overlay Elon face on his in real time. Meaning he is doing a live broadcast and AI, in real time, is changing his face to look like Elon.
@HillPhantom thanks for explaining! That technology is pretty cool, if you ignore the ethical concerns.
What are you using to read the power being drawn?
It's an inline little watt meter that uses USB c...
I bought a SER7 approx 11 months ago, it was great, impressed with the build quality, didn't have any issues with the power adapter. The performance was excellent, i played a whole bunch of games, Cyberpunk etc, start to finish with decent graphics and fps, to the point i would forget i was using a mini pc and not a full gaming pc. Even began using it as my main work machine. Until it died mid game. Fully dead. No power, nothing. Contacted Beelink support and after a back and forth where they wanted me to make a video showing me doing their troubleshooting steps, they asked me to return the unit for warranty replacement. Which I've done and I'm now awaiting a replacement unit. That's my experience.
Please follow up I have a 5pro I wanted a 5max saw the 6max was same price so was gonna get that thot heck let’s look at 7 here I am, so maybe I’ll just stick with the pro or the max?!?
@@Mrjazzzery I chose the SER7 for RDNA3 graphics which is a step beyond the other options, the higher tdp, and the space/size form factor. All of which made it an excellent option, until it died. I wanted to play older games 1080p on high, new/newer games on low/med without FSR if possible. It did that. I hope the replacement will arrive soon so i can finish my playthrough of Mafia: Definitive Edition, which was running great.
@@sirbillyclean thank you so much I just got one rn 509 otd 32/1T
My Starlink shipped today. My main use case will be car camping in remote locations and cellular Internet backup. I'm hoping that folks come out with an in-use case, basically a frame around the Starlink that protects the edges, very much like a smart-phone or iPad case because I can see beating the thing up otherwise. All I've seen so far are carrying suitcases mainly.
Yes, there are some really cool 3-D printed solutions if you have not checked into them yet. Check out ETSY. They don't seem to be the cheapest but, they would work. Some have handles on them and such. I am waiting to see if Starlink will come out with anything. But some of those Etsy printed solutions are pretty neat.
Someone testes theirs in a carry case and it worked just fine. So your idea makes a lot of sense.
Interesting dilemma. Ultimately, the acceptance of free products depends on integrity and transparency. In The Netherlands we have a saying; “vertrouwen komt te voet, maar gaat te paard” (trust comes on foot but leaves on horseback). This means that it takes time for people to trust something or someone; trust has to be built. As long as you are clear to manufacturers as well as to your viewers, this can go together very well. Good luck with growing and making more video’s.
Hello. I am from dutch heritage, glad to see you here! That's a great saying and I appreciate you sharing. I really appreciate your input! So far it's going well, most, not all, have agreed to my terms. Thank you for you comment and well wishes. Cheers.
there are profiles that will allow you to change settings. You make it sound like it only has AUTO settings. Also there are lenses to bring the focus back in for vlogging. Learn your camera before making terrible videos like this one
ROFL. OK buck. First, I am not alone on my review, the camera has multiple flaws. 2nd I have been using cameras for a long long time, I know how to use them donkey. Third, WTF would I want to add on focus lens, just FYI they are called diopters. Don't need one with the GoPro or DJI donkey. Last, watch the video as why it was auto, and yes I tested it on my other videos donkey not using auto. Get a life ole boy. We all get you are a classic hater, fan boy but don't come at me for being honest. Oh and BTW, this is brilliant work, really, clearly you have mastered this art. ROFL. czcams.com/video/7Pi0Brxch5k/video.html - what do you even call that, timelapse or must dumlapse...Come at me once you hit 100 subs mate. Too much...
Look at that focus, you know how to spot focus right? Anytime you want some tips let me know ole boy....czcams.com/video/EOf7IBby7rU/video.htmlsi=3Nex91UOajY2P132&t=26 - Let me guess your using the insta360ACEPro - how could I tell, watch my video again that how donkey
Oh this, the noise, let me guess that's just your artist flare or do you really not know how to use cameras at all? czcams.com/video/EOf7IBby7rU/video.htmlsi=yopNwVwc8XS7fH0q&t=77
Good god man, return that camera! czcams.com/video/EOf7IBby7rU/video.htmlsi=81TUJzuNjbxe5UiB&t=78
I'm wondering if it is compatible with Waveshare PoE HAT (F)? I know the single NVMe Base is compatible, but what about this Duo Base?
Sure is bruv I'm using it my set up. Both the base and duo DO work. Cheers.
@RoamSat is going to have an amazing solution. Just wait for it!
Interesting I appreciate the tip and heads up
Just checked it out, I have to say, $2,500 for a case and built in battery that is 30,000mah.....I mean full on cool idea, but if you have a connection to them, that price tag won't fly. Super cool, just too pricey for most. When I look at, knowing what I know, 30AH battery is max retail $200, being a CNC guy, the material and cut is max $100 if you own the CNC machine, maybe $200 if you are paying someone. Internals less electronics if even needed, $50.00. Suction feet/magnetic feet, max $40. To charge over 2500, its just way way way to much.
Cracker mate wish I'd waited for the mini 👌
Bro, its so nice! I am blown away. You could strap it to you bike and live stream mate!
@@HillPhantom 😎🍻👌
Man. . . i went to turn on my Pocket 3 today and the screen was broken like this. I never used the stock case. It worked perfectly fine the last time I used it. I never dropped it or had any issues. It was just broken out of nowhere.
Send it back immediately if you have an issue tell me..
@@HillPhantom the only is time. It's literally the busiest month for the videos I make. Hopefully I can get it straightened out. Also, this comment will probably get deleted by YT for some reason. They're really weird lately.
You can also use the barrel to barrel cable that came with the Mini direct to the solar generator too.
Very true!
I'm waiting for my mini to ship, got the 3800 case, 2700ma pack wit h2 usbc and 1 A, I found a small solar panel that folds up smaller than the mini footprint. my plan is to charge the powerbank with the solar as it runs the mini, to increase the runtime, infinite as long as I have sun on the panel. Pairing a small battery bank & solar panel with the mini is a no-brainer because the starlink like the solar panels need a clear view of the sky. It's pretty interesting what you can do with a small Quick charging USBc power supplies. I am even using it with a 24v to 12v step-down gong to a cig port. I can use this to power my favorite 12v DC camping pole light that pulls 27watts
That's sick! What solar panel did you get? Does the battery pack your using have passthrough ability? I know the larger solar generators do. Man such a game changer.
I use DSLR's every day in heavy commercial use and when I had an jitter issues it was always due to the card speed, Have you tried the fastest card available ? I am guessing you did because you do great reviews but thought I would ask because I am about to replace an older Go Pro and have been researching for cycling use, I like the insta 360 x4 but it is just to big.
I did, but great call! I want to revisit it but think I'm holding out for the action 5. May I ask do you stick to the 180 degree rule or are you ok pushing up shutter speed? I'm always on fence about it but I think that also could reduce the gitters?
Great video! My mini comes tomorrow. Got a Pelican case and DC cords for Anker battery👍😎
Thank you so much. Man this thing is awesome! Currently camping and I continue to be blown away. Appreciate the comment and I'm amped for you mate!!!!
Seems like these mini pc companies have big issues with customer service 😢. I like both minisforum and beelink but they both have numerous issues with specific units. Makes you think that these units aren't really tested, then you add the bad customer service on top of the issues you then have a big headache.
I can't agree more, seems like everyone is kinda still trying to figure them out. I even looked into trying to build one on my own and there are limited options. You would think we would be further along seeing as they have been around for a bit. Appreciate your feedback, I am looking at minisforum. Cheers
It seems that it is now possible to boot from one of the SSDs. Would this setup work if I do it from that boot instead of an SD?
It should, you would just want to partition that drive, using something like G Parted. Put OS,boot on one partition and set another for the raid "drive" that you are going to "raid" to another drive. I would however argue, unless you are using this for other things besides just a NAS, you may want to keep those two drives as identical pairs with no OS on them. Anytime you have an OS on the same drive as a partition that you raid, its a risk, not saying you shouldn't do it, just a bit more risky. Cheers.
@@HillPhantom Thanks for your Answer! But if I keep them as identical pairs, where does the OS go? Do I keep it on the MicroSD? Doesn't this imply a perfornance loss?
Nothing wrong to my understanding
I think they fixed a few things via firmware since I created the video but my understanding is there are still some issues. Cheers.
Nice channel 👍Can you lock the gimbal so that it works like a one-axis gimbal? Like just keeping the horizon level. Everything else fixed. For aerial footage.
I don't think they have something like horizon lock per say, but you can lock the gimbal. Though I am not sure it would be good for what you are looking for in a gimbal lock as I suspect, correct me if I am wrong, you more after horizon lock. In order to lock the gimble just press and hold left joystick button a lock will appear right hand top corner and gimbal will hold lock on the frame you are shooting, release the button and you will unlock. Cheers!
I have started looking into the Raspberry Pi's for my kids since coding has become a part of school these days, and personally i have always been a windows user because thats what i grew up with, but i always wanted to learn to use Linux instead because thats just superior when it comes to "freedom". I was looking at this product i thought wow! nice my daughter can use this to practise coding and watch youtube etc, so i started looking for youtube videos like yours that are abit critical against the product to hear arguments against it, and if it lags watch youtube its going to fail immedietly in my kids eyes, since it works lag free on iphones, even older ones. But i wanted to start and steer away from the mainstream apple products and such because of their nefarious business practises that i can not stand behind. Would you rather recommend the new Raspberry Pi 5 instead of this and just buy my own keyboard and mouse and plug in?
Hi, If you can afford it the Raspi 5 is going to a much better experience especially if you can get the 8GB model. If they want to program or watch CZcams the Pi 5 will just be such a better experience for them. It's a wonderful platform for them to learn on but its also a really good quiet and small desktop replacement as well IMO. Some folk will differ with me but at this current time with the Pi 5 I would have no issues working on it all day and using it to replace my desktop PC. Now, its not going to like be a gamer, though it does really well with retro gaming but streaming stuff it will handle without and issue. It maybe a little slower loading things than you kids are used to but I don't think it will be like, ew no, this thing is way to slow. I think, and hope its more like, wow its pretty quick for such a tiny, small, fanless computer. I would not hesitate to put any kids on the Raspi 5 and if they are budding little nerds like I was, they will LOVE it! It's honestly my favorite small computer of all time! I don't take back being hard on the 400, and we have not seen an update to it for a reason, but the Pi5, I have 7 of them lol. Cheers!
I was gonna buy the insta 360 but now I have my doubts. Thank you for the honest post
You are very welcome. If you can perhaps wait I am guessing DJI and GoPro should have new cameras coming out soon. I personally prefer both over insta. Ty fjr your watch and comment
But yes in regards to ethics and honesty Insta in the absolute worst!
@@HillPhantom thank you friend. Yes… transparency is everything!
Which action camera should I buy. Insta 360 Ace Pro, Gopro 12 or DJI Osmo Action 4?
Honestly if you can wait, we should see new cameras from both GoPro and DJI this summer. If ou can't wait it really depends on use case and personal preference. For me, I prefer DJI Action 4 due to the color and sensor. I am just partial to the video DJI produces, followed by GoPro and then last place for me would be Insta360. However, in low light I think the Insta360 edges out the DJI slightly and certainly for low light stability. So really depends on what you are doing, by eyes and style I still prefer DJI tho. CHeers mate! Good luck. I am currently on the wait for the next gen cameras we should see by Aug/Sept.
@@HillPhantom Thanks a ton for this awesome comparison and suggestion. I can also wait for the next gen action cams. I recently sold my GP11 due to the heating issues and automatic recording cutoff in my motovlogging thing,. For the time being, I am going to rent out an Action 4 or GP12 for my use.
Every insta360 product i bought has one big issue…. Image quality
I couldn't agree more! Image quality and I don't like their color science either. Cheers!
I was thinking of getting this as a dashcam. Does it allow you to see license plate clearly, When: Car is in front of you? On coming traffic? Next lane but In front of you? Can you recommend any camera that will meet these questions?
Hi. I will be honest IDK much about dash cams and have not used them in that manner. My thoughts tho is the insta might be a good way to go bc it shoots in 8K, and also has a lossless digital zoom. This way, if you needed to zoom in you could and if you shot in 8K, you could always zoom in in post if needed without it getting all grainy and blurry. Cheers!
@@HillPhantom thank you 🙏🏼
@@marksoprano007 for sure man good luck!
Excellent explanation of the nas system for Pi 5, I wonder if this set up works on rock nas adapter with 4 ssd.
Thanks so much. It should, just be conscious of what RAID type you deploy if using 4 drives. But I see no reason why it wouldnt work. Cheers!
I know your feelings on the whole thing man but my vote is go for free gear if you can get it. As long as you stay true to yourself and report the issues as you see fit, no harm done 💪 cheers love ya work as always
Thanks bruv I really appreciate and respect you and your opinion. Also ment to tell you I'm digging the starlink and RV stuff as well as the moto. Appreciate you man
Hi bro, I can understand the dilemma you are facing. Get sponsored, then deliver a review video, that’s ok. But don’t be the puppet of those companies. I hope you can review something that you really interests in or think that product is helpful, treat the video like a “share” not a “review task”.
Man thank you so much for your wise words 🙏
Full support. The fact that it's obviously weighing on your conscience so much suggests you're very ethical and i'm sure your reviews would be also.
Man thank you so much. I struggle so hard when most just ignore. I'm so glad you get it. Sir thank you so dang gone much. You get it . Sir Id bet u also stay up at night when you don't need to....bc your a good human ❣️. We need more of Us brother
I'm here to ride or die with you!! You please do what's best for you. As far as taking free products, just make the companies aware, that you will give your honest opinion on their products, but they'll see your review when your subscribers do. Love that million dollar view!! Keep on keeping on, we're here for ya!!!
Alex thanks so much man, you rock, I so appreciate you!!! Cheers.
hey buddy. i know your dilemma. IMO if you tell your viewers what the deal is, and the companies, then i dont think you can go wrong. it is hard to make content, esp solo. it is costly. sponsorships help with some of that. bottom line is you need to be happy with what you are doing and why you are doing it. i watch many channels that do all these things in different ways and to different degrees. do you. be your best self and the rest will work it self out.
Jade thanks so much for your comment and insight. You are spot on and I love doing this so....I'm thinking overall it will help greatly. Appreciate you.
The misty usually is because front of your lens is touched by finger
Yea first thing I thought and whipped it cleaned sadly same result
honestly i like your honesty!…subscribed!👍👍👍
Hey Joe thank you so much and welcome! Happy to have you aboard! Appreciate you
Check the manual about operating temperature for the lipo batteries. They don't like cold weather, so that might explain the short battery life.
Yea for sure it was 50 that day and flown it since in the summer at 80 degrees F and same result :(. Still like it though really fun looking forward to next version. Cheers!
I'm looking to create a RAID 1 setup using two M.2 SSDs on my Raspberry Pi 5 (4GB). I already have the Geekworm X1004 adapter. What software would you recommend for setting up the RAID 1 and creating a private cloud using Nextcloud? Could you provide a step-by-step guide or even a video tutorial on how to do this, including how to access the Nextcloud with RAID protection? My goal is to move away from Google Drive and Google Photos. Additionally, I'm interested in having multiple Raspberry Pi 5 devices in different locations for data redundancy. For example, one at my house, one at my parents', and another at my grandmother's. If one fails, I'll still have my data available on another device. Is it possible to create a RAID 1 configuration across multiple Raspberry Pi 5 devices? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'll need some time to think here. Id prob raid it or pool the drives then connect that to next cloud. The distribution of data could be tricky but in order to reduce the complexity id use a cloud service to sync to those external locations. Now that I'm thinking maybe even possible with pis new remote feature. Give me some time to think on this and I'll get back to you.
@@HillPhantom OK thanks.
@@RapidFire340 still thinking on this but will most likely do a video but on vacation now.
@@HillPhantom ok🤗
