Should YOU buy a 360 camera? Insta360 vs DJI Osmo Action 4 review
Просмотров 11 тыс.12 часов назад
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. But are they REALLY as good as the influencers and marketing make out? Is there an reason to still buy a 'traditional' single-lens action camera like a GoPro or the DJI Osmo Action 4 compared here? I've shot the footage that I want, in the con...

Is this Chinese motorcycle any good to ride? Zontes ZT350-T review

In this episode of my year-long test of the Chinese-made Zontes ZT350-T motorcycle, we look at what it's like to ride. Despite having problems that led to an error code and warrant work, the light weight and easy handling can make this a great bike to ride on back-roads. It shouldn't be a surprise that this Chinese machine is pretty rubbish on motorways, but after nearly 3,000 miles - with many...

    A real, honest review, instead of the usual blast it and rave (after a corporate junket). Telling us what we really want to know, warts and all. I did around 12 magical hrs in Spain on my MV Turismo (with gel pad upgrade) and likewise, was in agony with my ar*e at the end. Wouldn’t have swapped the experience for anything and do it again in a heartbeat.

    I bought a secndhand 850 Sport last August with 3000 miles on the clock from a Triumph dealership after trying a test ride on the 900 GT Pro. Decided i could live without the full set of tech extras on the GT Pro. Mine came with heated grips & hand guards, i added a shift assist and centre stand. I've now covered over 6000 miles on it in 10 months with included a tour of Scotland and this years IOM TT. With just a topbox, tank bag & 30 litre dry bag on the pillion seat i managed to carry everything i needed for each trip and with no complaints from the bike and still returning over 200 miles to a tank of fuel. Very happy biker. 👍

    I wear a Arai Viper GT.... Yes I know it's an old helmet (10 yrs old but it's seen little miles & well looked after). Had an Arai back in the 90's the went AGV but found the AGV innards wore out fairly quickly plus it had a seatbelt clip style to secure the chin strap which i felt wasn't that safe should a crash occur. As for wind noise I've always been in the opinion that Arai's are noisier than most other helmets brands. Looking for a flip face helmet now too & am just about to watch the video on the Neotec 3. Great Video & stay safe out there

    Can say after owning many bikes, I'm very happy with the 800MT Touring. Never so much as darted on the 2 tours recently. Bought on PCP so not worried about residual. Lifetime free comprehensive breakdown and replacement bike/onward travel and the 4 year warranty. Awesome sound and all the power I need. The heated seat is a big bonus 🤗 Screen visibility is sorted with a £5 screen shade made for the bike. Super comfy, very nimble and flickable. Just has everything I could ever possibly want. Bear in mind, I'm talking about the touring, not sport. £9,199 OTR with a year free tax. Whoop whoop 🎉

    Not sure if you will remember me but I spoke to you guys about the Honda Transalp up at Superbike factory at Donington not too long ago. I rode the Transalp and then the 800MT Touring and ended up buying the CF Moto 800MT touring. I paid £9200 for it (£110pm on PCP) and it’s probably the one you should have reviewed here. Comes with everything on the sport plus up and down quick shifter, hand guards, heated seat and grips, also came with 3 piece luggage included which is really good. Only done a few hundred miles on it so far but really enjoying it. Agreed value in 4 years is £5.5k so resale value isn’t much of a concern to me, plus it comes with 4 year warranty.

    Your review is by far the only one worth reading and/or watching! I’ve read or seen them all and the continuing thread is “too powerful, not necessary, over priced, difficult to ride” to a person these reviewers are poor riders and totally intimidated by the bike - thoroughly unqualified to comment in my humble opinion. I can’t wait for my test ride and the opportunity to order my own. My father always told me “it matters NOT the power it’s how you control it” that counts. If you are NOT intimidated and are suitably experienced (40 years and still breathing no injuries) buy this bike without fear - it will is a sport touring game changer!!! I’ve been waiting for just this all my riding life (46 years) and it’s finally arrived. Life is good 👍 enjoy 😉

    I test rode a Suzuki VStrom 800RE in the same colour as the one you've just tested. I was really surprised by the bike, it was great fun to ride, really comfortable and handled a twisty fast A road superbly. My overall impression of the bike was that it was easy to use/enjoy in every respect and would be a great long term bike for a bit of everything apart from track days (obviously). You could certainly feel the many years of experience that Suzuki have put into evolving the V Strom into what we now have. The blue colour looks much nice in my opinion.
