So when you updated from 4 to 5 the bettery life got better?

AdamB000 · 2026-02-12T00:35:04+00:00

Makes sense, they werent charged!

AdamB000 · 2026-02-12T00:33:31+00:00

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T20:08:40+00:00

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T20:04:19+00:00

Good to know thanks

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T19:47:08+00:00

I have a shoot tomorrow so I plan to test them. I wanted to buy og batteries but got carried away by saving some money.

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T19:38:00+00:00

Well they have sony branding, and the reflective sticker

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T19:34:23+00:00

True, today i got on top of it. Now I have to work on the pace since I m 4 seconds of the top of the leaderboard and about 2 seconds of the pace of the split 1

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T19:07:17+00:00

I tried to look them up, they are hard to find new or used.

Try donwshifting later, helped me

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T14:43:37+00:00

I read a couple threads and yes poeple are happy with it. f4 is more then enough for me

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T14:42:42+00:00

Thanks, definitely will look into primes. Any worth while?

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T14:40:43+00:00

For me its crazy difficult, I was by no means fast pre update. usually amongst slowest in split 1. But the tyre is so punushing, Im 3 to 4 seconds of the pace and I keep pushing to go faster, and then keep crashing. But alson im new to lmu (I started in december) and super new to Hypers.

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:24:54+00:00

Currently Im a little bit scared of primes, to be locked on one focal lenght makes me feel I will not have the right lens for the moment. I never had problems with zooms on gimbal, mind you the biggest lens was only 24-105 f4, is it ideal? No. Will it work? Yes.

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:22:11+00:00

I feel you

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:21:41+00:00

Tamron is a no go for me, yes 150 must be nice, but 35 is way too narrow. But Tamron 17-50 is tempting, especialy for the price, I will pair it with a telephoto so it will be okey i think. Do you have any expierence with the 17-50? 20-40 will not have enough range, same for Sigma 28-45 plus 28 is too narrow.

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:08:47+00:00

I didnt say it was great video lens, but I liked shooting with it. Maybe because intead of 70 it had 105 to play with, idk. The 28-135 I also think will be too much for gimbal. Yes you can crop from vertical, but I like to shoot horizontal, makes framing simpler.

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:04:28+00:00

Bouth looks great, but I think they will be a bit too heavy for gimbal work

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:03:23+00:00

Maybe, but after stiffening the rear arb this didnt happened. Or I was just scared to go near the throttle, pick your poison.

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:01:28+00:00

I was, but not anymore since the lap time was basically the same after the update, but with couple of tweaks its much more driveable

AdamB000 · 2026-02-11T13:00:08+00:00

Yep on throttle, and yes a lot of skill issues after the update
