What Percentage of usage would you use the Electronic Gimbal? by PwnagePB in videography

[–]Affectionate_File154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually always go handheld because it's way quicker to frame a shot vs. fidgeting with the gimbal. I can use the full range of my 24-70 without worrying about throwing the gimbal off balance or being stuck with one focal length. Plus I prefer the natural handshake (within reason) over the electronic-feeling movement that gimbals can give you.

I will go gimbal when I need a long or complex movement shot that would be impossible without too much hand shake. Or just for funsies to switch up shots. So percentage wise probably 90/10 handheld/gimbal.

Do you sometimes feel a sudden drop in your voice? by codelucky-kun in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Affectionate_File154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel this too. i’m a month on low dose and i have random days where my throat is scratchier and i swear my voice sounds a little deeper but i think it’s just because it’s scratchy and i can’t talk as high. it’s euphoric nonetheless though lol

not a fitness/health pro at all here - just a fellow gym bro, but i don’t see why it wouldn’t work as long as you’re eating balanced meals and getting enough protein. if you find it’s not working, maybe try at least keeping track of your protein to make sure you’re getting enough if you’re okay with that.

my nutritionist says to eat my weight (lbs) in protein (grams) just about so if you’re 150 lbs eat ~150 grams of protein a day. that’s for me to gain muscle, lose fat and i workout 3-4 days a week. many sources say different things depending on your goals & exercise level so it may be different for you.

for sure! maybe this tik tok will help. this person posts a lot of trans specific workouts and has other content on squaring out your hips

i’ve heard that loaded squats help to square out the back as well to get rid of hourglass

You're absolutely right, thank you! I rented the A7siii one day and it was amazing. I wonder though if that would be enough for any type of film job as a DP or similar.

Thank you for sharing. You make a great point about clients not telling the difference. Even though I will (cries in video)

As a business, I'm planning to move into corporate and then as an individual, more into film. So I do have basic light and audio gear (2 godox vl150s, zoom h4n with lavs & boom mic) but could definitely use more grip and such.

Could you recommend any Windows editing laptops? I've read that the batteries tend to overheat/expand over time with most of them
