The Insta360's Luma Ultra firmware adds a concert stage mode for dark strobing venues and 15x zoom. That is AI-assisted crop passed six times. Would you use a pocket gimbal to cover a concert?

0:20Listen, Paul's wondering, the Insta360's Luma Ultra firmware adds a concert stage mode for dark strobing venues and 15 times Zoom that is AI-assisted crop past six times. Would you use a pocket gimbal to cover a concert? And he's got a link there to the Senity website. All right, go ahead, Courtney. You know, one of the things that a lot of the software for these little gimbals, like the Osmo Pocket Cinema and apparently the Insta360s Luna, is you can tap on an object in the frame and have it track it automatically.

0:59So you can, you know, in a concert venue, you might want to tap that around the lead singer that is maybe prancing around the stage and swing that mic around over his head. And maybe it could follow him in a reasonably medium close up. So it could do things like that. You know, that might be a way to use something like the Insta360 Luna with their, you know, their built in firmware to track things might be a use.

1:27Also, maybe if they're designed for strobing venues, it can set the average exposure and so it doesn't react constantly to massive lighting changes like strobe lights or a panning light flaring into the lens where it would suddenly stop down. so you can set your exposure to be manual or lock it so that it doesn't react to a lot of the video screens and things in the background.

1:59Yeah, it's interesting. I haven't used these cameras, but yeah, there's two parts to the question, obviously. I don't know how well and practical use if this technology actually works well, but shooting dark stages, that's always a challenge. I mean, the other part of the question is, would you use a pocket gimbal to cover a concert? personally for me and now look i'm fully guilty of this i've shot footage of shows with my iphone

2:26over the years it never looks great i'm never going to look at this footage i you know it depends what you're going to be doing with this stuff if you're getting paid to do it i don't think anybody would use a camera like this for paid professional use you're probably going to use a much larger sensor camera so it really depends uh for personal use i think you should just enjoy

2:47enjoy the show. I don't think anybody should be using their cell phone to record footage at a concert. It's like, what are you going to do? Are you going to really look at that footage two years from now? Probably not. The audio is going to be bad, too. All right, let's go to the next question. Next one comes in from Guy Cochran in Seattle, Washington. Guy wonders what's new in vMix 30.
