Are they allowed to do that? I suppose they chance it due to their slave driving schedules.

I still can't believe the camera is apparently on the end of a stick he's holding. The FOV is crazy.

It’s amazing in every way. I just learned of the insta360 after wondering how the hell that was filmed. It’s the big Dalek helmet on top of googlemap cars squished into a tiny camera. The angle can be positioned in post production and the shelfie stick can be invisibled.

Recording like this means freak occurrences won’t ever be missed so there’ll be lots of crazy videos pouring online.

It can also make a nice tiny planet effect:



I’m probably spectacularly out of touch with this. It’s a crazy world and I feel old.

I've seen them used in a good few videos over the last year or so.
When I first happened across I thought they had a drone or something following them o\ then I saw a reflection with the stick visible

The stick looks like it's 10 feet long when the door slams in to him. I know it's the field of view creating the illusion of distance, but still, incredible.

Sick to death of teenage **** these days. Law onto themselves,with little to no respect or fear for anyone or anything . Some prick walked across a busy road today in front of me today so not only did I need to slam on the brakes he the decided to stopped and the threw his last bit of chicken on my window and then sauntered off!!! Would love to have given him a wallop across the head ,Mrs wouldnt let me get out of the car so that stopped that . Felt like Michael Douglas in falling down.. So no Greta I don't feel like saving the planet for your generation. :lol:

:twisted: I’d have unleashed hell, if the missus had let me.

I once shouted at a scaghead for randomly lobbing a chicken bucket over a back wall. He came out the front with a kitchen knife. :palm: He wasn’t young but it’s my projectile chicken story.

Hey does anyone here know what happens to the physical British video games releases now that Brexit has happened? Do we get English only boxes and manuals if any... or will things be the same?

I remember the days when games used to come out in Europe slower because of multiple language reasons. The same explaination came when asked about certain games not coming out in certain regions.
Maybe this will call the dev's bluff now regarding an English language release.... though not likely....
