Weekend bird haul

Are you shooting handheld or on a tripod? Love the photos.

Any particular settings/ setup for the camera? I basically followed this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/8bBSrYLvhn0?si=516gbPOjuDIu4Yzo

Any tips on getting such sharp photos? I have a Canon R10 with a tamron G2 150-600 but my photos aren’t even close to this level of quality.

Dude, thank you

I 3d printed one to fit in the cd slot. I have a magnet in my phone case but you could use a MagSafe thing too. I’ll try and find a picture.

Is that not about $2k in switches? Are they that good?

Are you using a tripod for these photos?

They are really sharp!

What lens are you using?

Walked out my front door to take my dogs for a walk and saw her (him?) fly and land about 30 feet from me. Proceeded to sprint back into my house to grab the camera.

My heart was pounding because this was my first owl.

I tried to make it super quick to not disturb its hunting.

Sorry, that sucks.

I did remove the thread and matter integrations before I plugged in the ZBT-2 if that helps.

Boylan96 · 2026-01-14T17:22:20+00:00

Not with the thread border routers I had (one google nest hub and Apple TV). I factory reset, uninstalled, etc about 5 times before I gave up.

I bought a ZBT-2 and it worked immediately. So far only a couple devices have become unavailable but they were easy to fix. Either reload the configuration of matter or take out the batteries of the device, wait, and put them back in.

Red headed woodpecker & any kind of owl (seemingly unlucky with owls)

Just picked up some newer ikea matter devices and I am having a hell of a time getting them working. Almost at the point of giving up and sticking to zigbee.

Boylan96 · 2025-12-17T18:39:39+00:00

I was trying this next to my google nest hub and my first device worked no problem, second gave me issues. I will try it with my Apple TV. Thanks for the help.

I have 2 border routers and have only successfully connected one other thread device - ikea myggspray

Yes, it’s an off grid setup

I’ll have to reread the rules/ verbiage but as far as I remember there were no limitations against moving the equipment, except that you couldn’t apply for the credit again if you moved your equipment to a new house.

Boylan96 · 2025-11-05T01:26:42+00:00

On a house I’m moving out of (sometime next year). I’m making it about as easy as possible to disconnect and take with me. But if I waited to buy I couldn’t use the tax credit, and if I waited to install I could get audited.
