  1. Today
  2. The car in question i was testing for buying (i think i remember hearing the compressor noise when pushing the button but not 100%) - anyway if i agree with the seller about the price im gonna get it tested to a private garage to eliminate surprises - i was curious if its a common issue or something that can become very expensive to fix. Ty for the replies!
  3. @DP1011 It was truly an enjoyable experience, there were few challenges with the terrain. Your guidance through each stage of the task ensured a smooth movement for the convoy. The timing you chose allowed us to fully relish the moment, although we have the rest of the day free for family activities, which is better. @Sunil Mathew Thanks for keeping an eye on the convoy and good video posted on Flag hunt, it was not that easy for myself and @DP1011 to find the flag, as it was partial covered by sand. Thanks for rest of the convoy, every time we all learn different driving skills. @Rohit Deginal @JohanE @JERINE_B @Faraz94 @Andrew John Melvill @Premjit Vappala @Mohammad Sayawoush Azad @Rk ram @JERINE_B i will whatsup you the video.
  4. Workflow Examples: In this video I had framed the video in Insta360 and added music in FCPX. (Jerome led FB Drive at Nahel) One of my very first videos. I had exported different angles and then layered them to make this video. This one was a lot of work but fun as I was still learning FCPX (Varun led FB+ Faqa'a to little Sweihan) But as I learnt more, I was able to use Angles feature in this video to cut it according to the music. For this video I had exported 8 different angles exported and then I cut them in FCPX. FCPX becomes slow for more than 4 angles. There were no Telemetry in this one. (Varun led FB+ at Badayer). For this video, I exported 4 angles with telemetry from Insta360 Studio and then cut them to the music. There is no panning and titling in this one due to fixed angles. (Looper Led IM Drive at Badayer) For this video I reframed the 360 videos in FCPX. Overlaid external telemetry. With Reframing in FXPC, I can change angles as well as tilt and pan with the music which is not possible otherwise. Added External Telemetry overlay (Looper led FB Drive at Qudra). Telemetry Examples: In this video I laid the telemetry directly in the Insta360 App, where I also did the reframing. Added music in FCPX. (Seidem's FB+ lead at Tawi Nazwa) I applied telemetry from external App (Telemetry Overlay) I was the first drive after I got myself a GPS Remote. I have done few iterations of the Telemetry overlay graphics over time. (Looper's FB+ lead at Faya, AD) PS: I plan to update and revise certain sections to enhance clarity, streamline information for brevity, and improve language and grammar.
  5. EDIT: yes I can get hear the compressor start and run for about 10 seconds behind drivers seat. @Gaurav Can't say I've ever noticed/heard a compressor noise behind drivers seat when engaging the locker. Will check this morning on way to work and update. 👍
  6. Wow this is a lot more work involved than I imagined. Results speak for itself tho. 👍 Was watching your latest one on the tv and wife walked in and she asked what video game I was playing. Just looks fantastic.
  7. Yesterday
  8. @Luke K P, @Gaurav & @Ishak thanks for your inputs, it is much appreciated. Also thanks to you, I could start to write on the workflow, which I wanted to write for some time now but wasn’t getting around doing.
  9. I have been wanting to update this post for ever; but had been having a writer's block. Anyways I am just posting this for now and I will correct / update it later. I have been experimenting with various visualizations and editing methods. I have done something different in every video I have produced. I think I need to settle down with one way of doing it, but still, I am leaning. The main software I use: Insta 360 Studio, Final Cut Pro X (FCPX), Telemetry Overlay and sometimes CapCut for captions. FCPX and Telemetry Overlay are paid software. One can substitute FCPX with Da Vinci Resolve which is free. There’s ton of tutorials in YouTube for all the main editing software (including Adobe Premier) The three most common workflows I use are: 1. Do the framing in Insta 360 Studio App, and just add titles, intro/outro etc. in Final Cut Pro. Sometimes I have directly uploaded the video output from Insta360 Studio app without any processing in FCPX. 2. Export 4 to 8 different views from Insta 360 studio and then mix them in FCPX using Angles. This allow me to edit to the tunes of the music I use plus gives the impression of having 4-8 cameras being used to record the action. 3. Export 360 video and then Do the framing in FCPX. Da Vinci Resolve is a better software to reframe in the editing software than FCPX because, when one pan/tilts the angle FCPX only allows linear movement, but Da Vinci Resolve lets you control the speed (like in Insta 360 Studio). In the first two cases one can overlay telemetry either in Insta360 Studio or produce overlay in external app and layer it in FCPX. I use Telemetry Overlay app for mac. When I reframe 360 videos in FCPX I use only telemetry overplay export. How do I get telemetry data: Since, I use the GPS remote, the footage has the telemetry data baked into it and I export the *.gpx file while exporting framed or 360 video from Insta360 Studio app. Why I use music: to hide the wind noise. When I mount the camera on the side of the car it produces a lot of wind noise, and crackling sounds. Therefore, to minimize the wind noise I use music. I have artlist.io subscription for music. In the beginning, I used to use free music provided by YouTube, which is quite good IMHO. PS: I plan to update and revise certain sections to enhance clarity, streamline information for brevity, and improve language and grammar.
  10. Nice video with that combination, just professional @Looper 👍🏼
  11. Congratulations @Emanuel💪💪💪💪well deserved
  12. Check or replace the vacuum pipe that goes just behind the driver seat - underneath the car and connects the black rubber pipe to the rear locker. If this is fine, check for an air compressor behind the driver seat - inside the car side panel. If you hear the compressor noise when engaging the rear diff lock, that means the compressor is fine. @Luke K P can you confirm if you hear the compressor noise in gen 4? Mine (Gen 2.5) was lazy for a long time, check and the mechanic fixed the wiring correctly and changed the compressor, then it engaged instantly.
  13. 150K for the wrangler must be end or close to the end of its time around 200 or 250K, where it will require constant maintenance. Rem, it's US manufacture and not Japanese. Ideally, buy the lowest km driven possible even if it is 5-10% expensive, so you will have much less trouble and have a more usable life to enjoy. Always buy a used car that has a full-service history shown to you in either invoices or a stamped booklet. A slight delay in service interval is acceptable, but if some long gaps are there, look for another vehicle. Have patience while buying, so that you can filter lemon and scammers with phone calls. Only go to viewing for the car that has sent you the service record over WhatsApp. This one approach will filter over 70% of cars instantly. Buying from the owner will be slightly cheaper than the dealer, but again search for both as many dealers scout diamond and price it slightly higher, which will save your time and future trauma for a little extra cost. I once bought a 6-year-old car with 67k on the clock with FSH from a used car dealer with a 10% extra premium. For inspection RTA comprehensive check is not bad (and not great either), but if you know some garages, ask them to inspect, they might do a better job. Last but not least, buy stock condition Wrangler and not modified, not even slightly modified, as that will give you a LONGER usable lifespan for off-roading.
  14. Hello everyone, First of all, it’s really great to be part of this community. I’m looking forward to joining your off-road events, once I buy my Wrangler. The Jeep Wrangler is a very impressive and masculine car, which I had the chance to do a test drive with and from that moment I fell in love with it. 😍 I will be mostly driving it in Dubai, with occasional off-road sessions, somewhere between 3 to 8 times per month. My criteria is the following - JL model, any year - 2 door, as it’s more compact and I don’t need the extra size As far as my budget goes, I’m thinking to spend around AED 100K, financed via bank. I don’t know much about cars in general, so I cannot trust myself when assessing the condition of the car, so my plan is to do a full comprehensive technical inspection with RTA, prior to buying it. I have some specific questions to begin with - Should I buy from owner directly or from dealer? My only concern buying from owner is that it may be more complicated to get financing from the bank. The dealerships are making this process very easy, without much involvement from my side. - Is a technical inspection, such as the comprehensive one from RTA, enough to assess if the car is in a good condition? - I recently saw a Jeep Wrangler, yr 2020, with 150kms driven in those 3-4 years. The dealer said that the last major service was done at 80k km, but oil changes were carried every 10k km. Should that be a concern? Would the technical inspection reveal important information? Besides these questions, I would greatly appreciate all your help and tips for buying a trouble free car while securing a great deal. I’m super excited to be joining soon the great Jeep family. Many thanks!
  15. Must be in 4HLC or 4LLC Move to N or P Press diff lock switch. Wait for flashing light to become solid. Of light does not become solid. Engage D, press accelerator slowly three times, allowing car to return to idle. Engage R, press accelerator slowly three times, allowing car to return to idle. If stuck in soft ground. Attempt to repeatedly move backward and forward.
  16. mine is sorta/kinda lazy there too... and usually it takes a while to engage - sometimes I have to move a few meters forward so it engages, but it does it eventually. I am curious what can be the reason. let's hear from experts...
  17. If the REAR Diff lock is blinking what are usually the issues? I was testing the 4wd system on a 3.8 today and 4H, 4HLC and 4LLC engaged ok (from 2H to 4H it did require to move the car couple of meters to stop blinking) - but when i pressed the rear diff lock button the indicator just kept blinking no matter what i tried.
