    How do I boot from it?

    • @HillPhantom
      @HillPhantom Před 23 hodinami

      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.

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 !

      @@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.

Even began using it as my main work machine. Until it died mid game. Fully dead. No power, nothing.

    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.

      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.

    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

    • @HillPhantom
      @HillPhantom Před 21 dnem

      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.

      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.

    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?

    • @HillPhantom
      @HillPhantom Před 22 dny

      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!

      @HillPhantom Před 28 dny

      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.

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!

    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.
