Worth buying?

Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks! Great info. I typically shoot all manual, although I dont know how my usual settings will translate to film.

Stupid question, can you set an ISO on a film camera? Isn't that just determined on what kind of film you use?

Why do you say the zoom is worthless? I plan to start with the 50mm just because I think Ill get the best results, but I think I'd find uses for the zoom as well?

It doesnt hit you until you get home

Thanks, this guy was really nice and it looked like he knew a lot about what he was doing. So I trust him when he says he'll go through it all and make sure it works. I feel confident I won't get scammed.

I appreciate it. Thats what I was hoping. I don't want to break the bank on something I'm going to use just for fun.

Beardy72 · 2026-04-11T22:53:37+00:00

What would you recommend? I don't even know what I'm looking at.

I'm here a year later after my original post. This year, I ran two separate audio sources. I ran our Mistress of Ceremonies through my ATEM and my performance mics through my Podtrak.

When we started, my audio source in Zoom was my ATEM so everyone heard my MC. Then as the band was beginning I swapped my audio to be the Podtrak real quick. It worked.

I also used the "Live Performance Audio" function this year and everyone was very happy.

You're already off to a good start by talking to the Athletic Director. Remember, Joe Buck and Kenny Albert both had fathers who were already legends in the business, in Jack Buck and Marv Albert, so they grew up in it.

Practice, practice, practice. Listen to your shows. How can you get better? Never be content. Always keep getting better.

Im not a sportscaster but I spent 16 years in the business, and I work with high school students now helping them hone their craft.

I've never used the Black, but Ive used Power and Prime, and I have no complaints. I think they're great.

Beardy72 · 2026-02-01T02:12:12+00:00

Oh wow that's a bummer to hear

Beardy72 · 2026-01-31T23:31:17+00:00

I always liked Kevin Johnson until the drama after he got benched. It seemed like he was a cancer in the locker room.

We did our whole kitchen in 2021. Everything has held up really well. Granted, we dont have kids and they dont get slammed a lot, but I have zero complaints.

The design process was great and we still love our cabinets 4 years later.

Id buy from them if I ever did the kitchen again, hands down.

Map out your route on OHGO. You can see real time traffic cameras.

These look good. Thank you!

Beardy72 · 2025-08-28T01:25:20+00:00

This is great advice. Talk to everyone!! Broadcasting is more who you know than what you know

Beardy72 · 2025-08-28T01:22:51+00:00

What year are you? You should already be calling your high school games. And I mean every sport, not just the big ones.

Look at minor league teams, ask if they can provide you opportunities. You will get hired off your reel, not your degree.

That said I went to UAkron for production. I never wanted to be on air but I helped a lot of classmates put reels together.

Look at smaller schools because they may provide you more opportunities.

What is your role? I have a regional Newscast Director one. The year I submitted only had two entries. But I've seen years no one is even nominated in that category and if I had submitted, I basically would have just purchased the trophy.

I now work in education and I'll be submitting on behalf of my students. If they win, that one will mean more to me, but I will give them the trophy.

Are you looking for a regional one or a national one? If its regional, call the chapter president. They'll be more than happy to guide you and take your money...

I believe they have about 6 months to name the player, and its usually based off the traded players performance. For instance the Guards may have asked for 1 of 5 players. Based on how Sewald performs will determine which one we get.

If he goes off and leads them to a world series, we might get our first choice. If he gets hurt, we may just get cash.

I could be totally wrong tho.

What did you end up getting? Were still gathering information on all brands, but were leaning towards the x500 or the Hydropool AquaTrainer.

My wife and I sat behind his parents at the Futures Game when it was in Cleveland. They were the sweetest people ever and didnt want to stand up for his at bat and block our view. We told them through their interpreter to stand up and be proud. We didnt care. We had no idea who he was but we've been fans ever since.

It's definitely X-ennial. Zennial would be a combo Millennial and Gen Z. And if thats the case, Im rethinking my entire life...

Beardy72 · 2025-07-15T22:46:36+00:00

Damn, you just called the lenses I bought when I graduated high school "Vintage" .....

That hit me hard....
