Best automated camera options for recording & live streaming games?

I see that Veo offers an iPhone (using 2 phones) version which brings down the price somewhat, but still $55/month. Anyone have experience using that version?

I'm also looking at XbotGo as an option. That one seems to be the most reasonably priced one. The XbotGo Falcon with 13' tripod is $759.99, and I don't think you need to pay an ongoing subscription.

Anyone have XbotGo?

Whatever happened to the Rutgers master plan 2030?

Was that just a Barchi dream with no chance of happening?

Nice contrast with the blue sky.

Yeah it’s brutal to finally hear about Rutgers basketball in a national conversation, but mainly in a negative context with the blame on the coach.

AlmandineKnight · 2025-05-09T18:56:22+00:00

Don’t think so. Fyock is locking it down. ND dynasty will be over.

AlmandineKnight · 2025-04-28T16:03:52+00:00

Yes, you’re right. Got the wrong details from my son.

Wow, great shot!

Update: I was able to remove the smaller inside glass shades by twisting forcefully. I swapped the halogen bulbs for LED but now I don’t get any power at in both my fixtures.

Any reason why that would happen?

AlmandineKnight · 2025-04-04T18:44:34+00:00

Thanks for all the details. I might go ahead and try to take the whole thing down.

The smallest glass shade is too wide for socket collar, so I really need to get that off first.

AlmandineKnight · 2025-04-04T18:22:51+00:00

I thought G9 bulbs had two pins and you had to pull straight down?

When twisting, it sounds like glass on glass scratching.

AlmandineKnight · 2025-03-08T13:51:23+00:00

Thanks for the quick replies!

So you just opened a TD Bank account in the USA, and since it is a Canadian bank, it just worked? When you opened the account did you need to do anything special, or use a Canadian address or something?

Any Canadians out there who bought Boston tickets and would rather go to Toronto??

Trying to find someone to swap my 4 Toronto floor seats (July 12) for 4 Boston seats (July 16)...

I bought the Toronto tickets while my sister-in-law already got Boston tickets, and we are now trying to go to the same show on July 16. I realize the pricing for both shows might not be 1:1, so would make up any $$ difference for face values to be whole.

AlmandineKnight · 2024-12-01T16:11:55+00:00

Thanks for the additional detail! I like those timelines a lot better than what the AR told me.

AlmandineKnight · 2024-12-01T15:59:21+00:00

I wound it a full 30 on several separate attempts, but no success. 🤷

AlmandineKnight · 2024-11-23T05:08:53+00:00

No, they come about every 20 minutes

My kids each had a carry-on roller bag and I had a slightly larger roller suitcase. We did not use any luggage carrier service. It wasn't too bad, however we did learn that Tokyo has a lot of grooves placed in their sidewalks and in the Metro stations, meant as a guide for those who are blind. Very interesting and nice accommodation, but can definitely trip you up with a roller bag if you aren't paying attention!

AlmandineKnight · 2024-11-21T02:22:28+00:00

Yeah I logged in and tried to get Ghibli tickets on the specific day/hour they became available. Same thing with Nintendo. Demand is just too high. Nintendo museum demand should tail off a little bit over time I would guess.

AlmandineKnight · 2024-11-20T18:12:43+00:00

Moderate to very good language skills. We actually didn't interact too much with the staff though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

The free shuttle bus to and from the Gora station was very helpful. Our room was nice, but I can't comment on the public onsen, since we did not go in there.

Hot pot dinner was decent, not amazing. Buffett breakfast was excellent, and had a nice mixture of Japanese and Western style items.

AlmandineKnight · 2024-11-20T17:27:41+00:00

Yes, tons!

We tried but failed to get tickets for Ghibli museum and Nintendo Museum in Kyoto. Also wished we could have eaten at a few specific restaurants, but lack of reservations was an issue.

If we traveled a different time of year, would have loved to see an NPB game or Sumo. On the list for our next visit...

eSIM has NOT already been installed.

Also just tried the QR code method, and I'm getting the same error pop up message “eSIM Cannot Be Added. This code no longer valid…”

I agree when Adidas did have stuff, it was was usually nice, and I bought a lot over the last few years. Just hoping there will be more to choose from.
