How can I improve my S22 setup for better clothing video quality?

How can I improve my S22 setup for better clothing video quality?

Beginner here, trying to get the best possible video quality for my clothing business without spending a ton.

Current setup:

  • Samsung S22
  • 1080p @ 30fps
  • Regular camera mode (no Pro/Wide)
  • Beige solid-color matte curtains as background, no shine
  • Two Digitek DPL-19 80W bi-color LED panel lights
  • Windows directly in front of the background. I usually keep them covered but sometimes open them for sunlight.
  • Small indoor setup, mainly shooting clothing/model videos.

video sample https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bljVaXvH3pA

Light specs: 80W each, 2700–6500K, 480 LEDs, dimmable, bi-color. They're not softboxes, so I assume diffusion might be one area I can improve.

I'm currently using the normal S22 camera and basically treat ISO as a brightness control and shutter speed as another brightness/flicker control. 😅 I don't really understand Pro mode yet.

A few things I'm wondering:

  1. What Pro Video settings should I use on the S22 for this setup? ISO, shutter speed, WB, focus, etc.
  2. Should I shoot 4K 30fps and export/downscale to 1080p, or just shoot 1080p? My editing app takes much longer to process 4K.
  3. CapCut takes too much processing time for me, so I'm considering Filmora or Premiere Pro if the quality improvement is actually worth it.
  4. Are there any good third-party camera apps for the S22 that would give me better video quality/control?
  5. Should I change anything about the background?
  6. Any other relatively cheap upgrades that would noticeably improve sharpness, fabric texture and overall professional quality?

I'm mainly shooting women's clothing, so I want the fabric, prints, stitching and colors to look as accurate and detailed as possible.

Would appreciate advice from people who actually shoot with phones/cameras. I'm willing to learn Pro mode—I just need to understand which settings actually matter.

Did Samsung degrade the S22 camera with updates? Which firmware had the best camera?

I feel like the camera quality on my Galaxy S22 has gotten worse after so many software/One UI updates.

The phone used to give me noticeably better video quality, but now I'm not happy with it. I'm mainly using this phone as a webcam, so I don't really care about keeping the latest security updates.

Has anyone actually compared different S22 firmware versions and knows which One UI/firmware version had the best camera quality, especially for video?

I'm considering trying to downgrade the firmware. I know Samsung makes downgrading pretty difficult and there are risks with bootloader/firmware versions, but I'm willing to research it and try if there's a version known to have better camera processing.

S22 owners who used older firmware — which version gave you the best camera quality? Would really appreciate the exact One UI/firmware version if you remember it.

I've also seen other S22 users report that they felt camera quality changed after updates, so I'm wondering if I'm imagining it or if others noticed the same thing.

My wife saw a shadow during astral projection

I’ve been listening to an astral projection/meditation audio on YouTube for about 2 weeks and personally I’ve had a really good experience with it, nothing scary or unusual.

I asked my wife to try the same audio. She was lying on her back around 4 PM, arms by her sides, and I was in the room with her.

After a while, she said her stomach started vibrating and became tense, then her right hand became tense, followed by her left leg.

Then she started seeing a bright white light above her, even though the room was dark. She described it almost like a hole/opening that was expanding, shrinking, and sometimes disappearing.

Near the end, she saw a black shadow against the white/grey background. The shadow seemed to come closer and closer until it felt like it was right above her face, almost near her eyes.

She opened her eyes and freaked out.

Her lips and throat were very dry, her whole body felt stiff, and she said it took around 5 minutes to feel like she had control of her body again.

Now she doesn't want to try the audio again.

and most important she had nightmare after having alcohal. Someone was coming towards her with two weapons.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

  • Has anyone seen the white light/opening followed by a dark shadow?
  • Why would the shadow feel like it was moving closer to her face?
  • For people who believe in astral projection, could this be interpreted as a spirit/entity, or is there another explanation?
  • Most importantly, why was she so scared? Is this dream related to this?

I’m curious because I’ve been doing the same thing for about two weeks with no problems, but her experience was completely different and honestly pretty disturbing.

10-Day Meditation Update – Body Movemenets

I've been meditating regularly, and over the last 10 days I've experienced something interesting.

About 4–5 times now, I've felt my spine stretching on its own. It starts near my tailbone and gradually feels like my entire spine is lengthening upward, almost as if it's being gently pulled toward the ceiling. I don't consciously do it—it just happens automatically.

Last two time experienced something completely new.

I was lying on my back, completely relaxed, when my legs started moving on their own. First, they slowly spread apart. Then the soles of my feet came together, forming what looked like a butterfly (bound angle) pose. After that, while my feet stayed together, they gradually moved closer and closer toward my groin, all without me intentionally controlling the movement.

It genuinely felt like my body was operating on autopilot. I wasn't trying to make it happen or visualizing anything specific.

And then all muscle tesntion release and my legs stayed in that posture.

What to expect next? I kept in same positon and it started again muscles getting tensed and spine started to stiff. Also feel like arms length is incresing as my hands started to move towrds my feet direction. Shoulder started to moving towards uper body and feel my body is expending.

I was in this for an hour.

Has anyone else experienced spontaneous movements like this during meditation? Is there a name for these kinds of involuntary body adjustments? I'd be interested to hear both scientific explanations and experiences from people who practice meditation, yoga, or related traditions.

Best USB-C hub for Samsung S22 + DroidCam OBS + Godox C01 mic?

I'm trying to build a reliable mobile streaming setup and would appreciate advice from anyone who's tested something similar.

Webcam working fine but can't use USB c wireless mic

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S22

Connection: DroidCam OBS over USB (USB debugging enabled, not Wi-Fi)

I need the hub to support:

  • USB connection to PC from mobile for DroidCam OBS
  • Godox C01 USB-C wireless mic receiver connected to phone
  • (Charging is optional and Samsung DeX is not important)

I'm considering these hubs:

  • Genix CH8 (8-in-1): HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, SD/microSD, USB-C PD.
  • Honeywell 5-in-1: HDMI, RJ45 Ethernet, USB 3.0, USB-C PD.
  • Portronics Mport 11C (11-in-1): HDMI, VGA, 100 Mbps Ethernet, USB 3.0, multiple USB 2.0 ports, SD/microSD, 3.5 mm audio, 100W PD.

My concern is not HDMI or DeX—it's whether Android can use DroidCam OBS over USB while also recognizing the Godox C01 receiver through the same USB-C hub.

Has anyone successfully used a USB-C hub in this kind of setup? Which hub/chipset worked reliably?

Do you suggest any changes in this setup?

Thanks!

Kundalini, astral projection, or something else?

Title: Was this Kundalini, astral projection, sleep paralysis, or something else? Looking for similar experiences.

I'm looking for honest opinions from people who have experienced Kundalini, astral projection, deep meditation, or similar states.

This has happened twice now.

The first time was a few days ago. The second time happened today after around 4 hours of meditation while listening to astral projection music.

Here's exactly what happened:

- I meditated for about 2 hours with nothing unusual happening.

- I then switched to another bed because the mattress was more comfortable and continued meditating.

- The first unusual sensation was muscle twitching in my right buttock/glute.

- That sensation gradually moved to my tailbone.

- Once it reached my tailbone, I felt strong vibrations there.

- I then started taking deep breaths because the vibrations had already begun.

- The vibrations became much stronger.

- I felt intense heat in my tailbone.

- It felt like something was stretching or moving upward from the base of my spine.

- My entire body started vibrating/shivering at the peak.

- My chest was vibrating as well.

- I started sweating heavily, even though the AC was on.

- While lying on my back, it felt like my elbows were pushing into the mattress and my head was pressing into the pillow by itself.

- I was fully aware the entire time.

- My eyes were mostly closed, but I briefly opened them and then closed them again.

- I did not have an out-of-body experience and never felt like I left my body.

- I couldn't voluntarily move my body during the strongest part of the experience.

- The whole intense phase lasted around 10–20 minutes, then gradually faded.

- Afterward, I felt extremely calm, relaxed, mentally clear, and peaceful.

I've never practiced Kundalini yoga, so I'm unsure how to interpret this.

For people who have experienced Kundalini awakening, kriyas, astral projection, or sleep paralysis:

  1. Does this sound familiar?

  2. Does it sound more like Kundalini, a meditation/breathwork effect, sleep paralysis, or something else?

  3. Has anyone experienced vibrations starting in the tailbone and spreading through the entire body while remaining fully conscious?

I'm not looking for validation that it's definitely Kundalini. I'm genuinely trying to understand what I experienced and would appreciate hearing from people who've gone through something similar.

Is this bad spirits in AP?

I've been AP few months back and two days ago I tried different youtube music for AP.

I did felt usual vibration in forehead then aftee some long deep breathings I felt my mattress is like occen waves and starting from my feets towards head. It also feel like road roller between my mattess and my body skin touching the mattress. I felt my body hairs touching mattress a strange feeling. Each time the vibration roller type feeling touching my body skin I can feel my body hair touching mattress a strange sensation that I've never felt maybe goosebumps.

Then ended at back of head then move back to center of my back at tailbone. Then slow pull towards ceiling. It was phycial pull. Almost felt like I'm doing it. I can stop it I feel but I don't want to because I want to see what happens next. I was very curious then continously pull make it little painful at tale bone. My lower back stated to hurt a bit. Then suddenly I yawn and it went normal and pull like feeling ended. After it I slept peach fully. I never had such restful body and sleep. Even next 2 days I felt great. No irritation no overreacting no fear no worries of doing work at time etc. So most of overthinkimg and guilt gone.

As per your experiences what was it? Was it Ap or it was placebo effect that my body was expecting something like to be happened and it did automatically just to make me believe that I was expecting to be happened.

Is this astral projection??

Hi everyone,

I'm curious if anyone has experienced something similar or has an explanation for it.

I was fully awake and listening to some astral projection/meditation music on YouTube. After a while, I started feeling vibrations in my forehead. I was laying down on my back. Hands by my sides.

Then I noticed a strange sensation, almost like something was crawling between my body and the mattress—not on my skin, but in the space where my body was touching the bed.

A few moments later, it felt like a heavy round object (like a road roller) was slowly rolling underneath me from my feet toward my head. After that, the middle of my body started stretching upward toward the ceiling. It didn't feel like I was floating—it felt like my physical body was actually being pulled upward, and it was painful.

The pulling continued automatically for a few minutes. Then I suddenly yawned, and instantly everything stopped. After that I felt completely normal.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Does this sound like the beginning of astral projection, or could it be something else entirely? I'm open to both spiritual and scientific explanations.

Thanks!
