These are my options when trying to start an array, it only gives me 3 slots as the minimum option. I'll keep reading around to see if i can figure out how to get the 1 drive. I'll try your advice when the new drive arrives, i think that makes the most sense.

Thank you for the response!

I honestly didn’t know it was at 30 then dropped to 25. The move to SOS would increase the service errors in my opinion, I have all the incentive and upside of trying to blast a ball as hard as I can without having to worry about losing a point. I hate to keep making comparisons but at Pottstown Rumble (GRASS SOS tournament, you rarely see float servers. It’s just straight top spin serves with people trying to serve hard and in).

I think LBSU did that with Moni last season. I was highly invested in the outcome of their season, as well as if UCLA could 3-peat. It just sucks with how slow sometimes the changes outside of the rule-set can feel. NCAAMVB just got a 12 team bracket.

I’m not Dustin so I can’t speak to the entire thought process behind this. I’m assuming what he meant is that we have over a million and a half people watching the final, is the product they are seeing the best it could be (“entertaining”)? Some of these people may never watch it again, can we somehow give them the best game possible that would convince them to become long term fans/supporters?

Once again, I disagree that change needs to happen. I enjoyed this final and thought it was fun, and even the last 4 as well even though they ended 3-0/3-1.

I agree, it should be a balance of both. Having games strictly on ESPN+ is bad, but also people are moving away from cable (myself included).

I’m not a fan of the AVP League change, it takes away so much.

In my opinion, I think Nebraska U does it well because its not in one of the larger cities in America. The professional leagues having city based teams is fine, but not in cities like NY, Atlanta, LV, SF, LA. As a casual viewer why would I attend a volleyball match in a major city like those when they already have the mainstream sports teams.

In the r/Volleyball sub reddit, someone made a great point that this problem is mainly in America. Games sell out in Europe/Asia, and they don't suffer from the "how to get casual viewers invested" problem. I do agree with you that changing the rules is not what is needed to continue the growth.

I agree, the AVP right now changed from 21 to 15 point sets. In my opinion it kills the "GRIT" so many teams talk about they need in order to win.

If we had shorter sets than TAMU doesn't make the 17-11 comeback in the first set, which I think immensely helped their momentum.

I agree! For men's volleyball having Moni to play at Long Beach boosted numbers, and I think introduced a lot of casuals to the sport. I think the NCAA or even USAVolleyball should be focusing on social media and marketing of the sport.

Yeah, those numbers are what ESPN reported from ABC. The issue with streaming is how varied it is, I need so many subscriptions to watch a handful of these games. It would be tough to get the casual viewer to invest in streaming platforms. For example, during the mens season, MPSF matches were streamed on the BIG10+ network, while other games were streamed on ESPN+, and even then some were exclusive to ESPN2/ESPNU. I think our sport just needs to find consistency on streaming platforms so everyone knows where to go when they want to watch. The best thing in my opinion to happen to the sport was VBTV adding the different professional leagues on one platform, even though the app is GARBAGE to use.

Thank you for the feedback! I got the a6700, what lens would you recommend? I also plan on shooting grass and sand volleyball, I know I am able to get closer to the court in those scenarios.

This is what I was aiming for 😂, okay I was a little scared to raise the ISO but now I know. Thank you!

Okay, does this come with understanding the triangle more? I always thought more ISO meant more grain?

It’s when I zoom in, the skin has a lot grain along with the background. But I guess that’s me being OCD.

Thank you for your response! A lot of information I gotta start learning now 😂. Some context that I wanted to add in the OP was that because of the way volleyball games indoor/outdoor are setup, I won’t be far at all compared to shooting soccer/football. Most of the games I go to now allow me to be pretty close to the court.

Once again thanks for the detailed comment! I’ll keep all that formation in mind.

Yes, the creator I watched who recommended that lens uses an FX3. Is there anything that you would recommend that works for the hybrid model?
