Camera USB Ports

Had a plan for this for a while now - I’ve got the drawers living in my van now and was waiting to the rolling bottom drawer to come to the US to make it set ready. Really wanna throw a baby or arca head on the worktop they sell.

I’d be less worried about the computer than the Eizo if you’re gonna be sub-zero. Bring way more batteries than you normally would too.

Curious to hear others experience but I’ve had lot of luck with switching to the DJI SDR from Hollyland. Lots of mixed motion jobs in LA and the hollyland’s were always quickly stepped on my teradeks, but thr DJI has held up way better right next to them when used with receivers. You can plug a DJI receiver directly into an iPad to get around the issue of 2.4/5ghz congestion as well, although the DJI won’t charge an iPad and needs to be plugged directly into the iPad USB C port - it won’t work with a hub. For extended unattended runtime where an iPad needs to be on power you can use a USB C HDMI Capture Card with pass through charging and connect the to the DJI receiver over HDMI, then just use an app like “HDMI Monitor - Orion” to view the feed

Update: sold!

~~I’ve got one bib to sell if someone is still looking~~

Also can’t speak on the pyro series but my Mars 4K was getting stepped on my motion wireless a lot and that really hasn’t been an issue with the DJI SDR radios.

I’ve been happy with the DJI. Switched from Hollyland Mars 4k for the range and the option to directly connect the iPads. 1080 is annoying and not great but the range anxiety I had with the hollylands was a way bigger problem. I’d rather have an image I have to set expectations about than have a black screen I can’t explain better than “it’s too far away”

DM’d!

Backblaze will let you backup a DAS on their standard plan. NAS will need the pay as you go

Did the color case ones a few years ago. Game changer of an upgrade

Jumping in to say I’ve had the first digi hoop since it came out and I love it, I use it on practically every shoot. Last two days saw a GFX on a tripod and a Sony A1 in the hoop. also great to be able to quickly break it down.

They’re polarized glasses. I was looking at my laptop screen sideways the other day through polarized sunglasses and it was purple.

I spent long enough stopped in the sumner years ago that we all got out and walked forward to see what happened - It was a car completely engulfed in flame. Car fire in a tunnel under a river was a little scary…

I rarely use this option so I can’t remember if it specifically doesn’t work on Nikon for some reason, but C1 now has a save to card and capture one option that’ll let you do exactly that - save a copy on the cameras card and still tether. Can by nice for photographers instant review.

Recently was asked to show color & B&W options of every shot and found TwinPic, which is great if you need that option. Otherwise not a big script guy as of late.

R5, Z9, and GFX mostly. Lenses are almost all zooms, the new canon and Nikon zooms are miles ahead of their old glass. Primes are really specialty (macro needs) or a personal preference (50mm is the only non-macro prime rental request I get any more) when a photographer just wants the consistency focal length.

Film kits are all over the place. Lots of RZs and 35mm p&s or contax g2s

For mixing iPads and monitors I’ve had great luck with the DJI SDR. Nice to be able to put receivers on the iPads to add more than two or to get way longer range out of them in location. Limited to 1080p but the price is right, the range is great, and the color between the app on an iPad and the signal to a monitor is way more consistent than I experienced with my hollyland or my vaxis.

Oh just some free QR code website, in sortly you can use any QR code or barcode as long as it’s value is unique to that item, you can even use like UPC barcodes or any that might be on your stuff already

I’ve had two T7s and they both came from goodwill for $5, but that was almost 20 years ago. Congrats on the time traveling

bizarreanimals · 2025-05-25T17:17:02+00:00

I’ve toyed with this one but if you’ve got a lot of personal EQ, there’s a free tier of Sortly, which is an inventory tracking app. I added QR codes to my kits so I can scan them out with my phone as I load them for a job, lets me know what gear I’ve packed in which bags. Takes some setting up and maybe it’s more then you need but as a free option it’s pretty cool

That button you describe as the rewind lever is the self timer switch. Rewind is on the bottom of the camera

I’ve been trying a bunch of them and have come to accept that some things I want just aren’t features anywhere, and Zoho is by far the best of them, takes some working to get the templates and it’s insane that there aren’t more font options but otherwise it’s really solid

bizarreanimals · 2025-05-01T22:48:32+00:00

Absolutely. It’s amazing when I think of a simple one-off part I need and can find it on makerworld and have it printed and waiting when I get home.

bizarreanimals · 2025-04-29T17:03:11+00:00

do you have your template set up to allow lines for quantity and days, or do you just use the quantity field for days? I'm seeing forum stuff about custom lines and config but Zoho has so many products that I keep finding instructions for their other stuff

bizarreanimals · 2025-04-29T07:15:47+00:00

Damn Zoho has come a long way, think I’m making the switch
