Should YOU buy a 360 camera? Insta360 vs DJI Osmo Action 4 review

360 cameras like the Insta60 X3 and X4 are big news right now, thanks to their ability to capture everything, then allow you to reframe your shots later.

    I have a Shoei Neotech 2 and it is the worst helmet I've ever owned. Their size chart put me between a medium and a large, so I went up to a large. When I first put it on it seemed to fit great. I even wore it around the house for an hour and all was fine. After riding with it a couple of times I finally went on a longer ride and after an hour and a half I had the worst headache ever. It got so bad I considered riding without it. Finally found a place to stop for about 45 minutes and I was able to finish the last half hour ride home. It was terribly hot which got better after removing the chin curtain. Noise is about the same as any other helmet I've used. I've found that AGV fits me so much better. I will never own another Shoei.

    A tip for zooming if you don’t have a remote - on most map apps if you double tap the screen with one finger and leave your finger on the screen after the second tap, you can drag it up and down to zoom with 1 finger. Works with my RST leather gloves on and much easier than pinch to zoom.

I think we share a lot of your views. www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/reviews/bikes/long-term-test-bikes/bmw-long-term-test-bikes/bmw-r1300gs-2024-long-term-review

    As someone who has huge experience of GS's I'd respectfully say BMW doesn't actually seem to appreciate or even understand why the GS has such appeal. In this latest model they have removed a huge amount of the GSness and much of what riders actually like and enjoy! Just for the record guys, people don't buy a GS because of it's maximum performance, you are making the same mistake as BMW in your assumptions!

    Demo'd the MT09 and Tracer 9 GT+ on Saturday (back to back) - re the buffeting and the screen - I found the screen less MT09 less noisy with less buffeting up to 95mph and it was windy too. The Tracer screen seemed to push the wind right at my head 😁 That engine is a peach - the ergonomics of the Tracer just fit so well. Flickable on country roads using the midrange in 4th gear was a joy. The ride home on my CBR felt uncomfortable if I'm honest 😊 I'm now looking to get the Tracer GT though I need to demo that as the Plus has one screen rather than 2... Great video guys 👌
