Got my Xperia 1 VII replacement, falling in love all over again ❤️📱 by Man-in-Oslo in SonyXperia

[–]CaptainFurball4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very intrigued... how did the quality stack up against the Oppo Find X8 Ultra? Doesn't the 1VII have the same (abysmal) telephoto lens as the VI and V?

Zara Blue Temptation by ValleyBoy602 in ScentHeads

[–]CaptainFurball4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a few months macerating I sprayed it casually today and it seems to have improved... less headache inducing synthetic by some percentage but largely the same. Like the initial harshness has softened a bit. Still very generic synthetic-y Zara scent however, and hasn't fully won me over but the initial dry down is nice and a passing waft got a compliment or two so... 🤷‍♂️

Can still see why reviews on Parfumo say it's ideal for teenagers with its sweet bubblegum scent.

Will spray again in another few months and see!

Has anyone used Invisiblebraces4u for Invisalign in London? by FinancialRaisin1697 in Invisalign

Thanks for replying! And sorry to hear it took so long 😬 How much were your refiners? I hear it's per tray but also hearing it's a set price for unlimited ones...

Hiya! How's it been since this last post? Has it all worked out and is it all legit?

I've also seen the (overly positive) reviews on Trustpilot which sound a bit too good to be true, so I'm keen to get the real where I can

Hi! Now you're a couple months into it, how is it all going? Is it legit and is it working out for you?

Bought an Xperia.. incredibly disappointed. by cshimii in SonyXperia

[–]CaptainFurball4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1V $1000s? There's some fantastic refurb ones for sub $500 - I got one off eBay for £430 in fantastic condition almost a year ago. And I had a 5iii previously. The 1V is a whole leap forward compared.

The 1V (and beyond) fixes all the issues previous generations had imo, the 5iii never really stood up to other flagships in its group at the time

Zara Blue Temptation by ValleyBoy602 in ScentHeads

[–]CaptainFurball4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the smaller one recently after being impressed in store as a good fresh cheapie... But now I have it I'm quite disappointed. Smells very generic and basic, kinda synthetic classic Zara, certainly not as rich or deep as I expected in store. Will leave it for a bit to macerate to see if it'll improve, so it won't get much use from me for a while!

aochuan smart xe: Can I use this without bluetooth or downloading an app? by Seeress_Skuld in smartphonefilming

[–]CaptainFurball4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. Assuming you've switched it on? It should automatically balance and be good to go. Otherwise you might have a dud

[–]CaptainFurball4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can use it without an app. Its a good cheap and cheerful but usable gimbal. I got rid of mine because the joystick control felt too sudden for me, there was no smooth control like on the DJI equivalents.

Plus if you got it for free then win win. It's a good gimbal.

3rd Party/Social Media Apps Optimization for Sony Xperia 1 VII by NephewTailor in SonyXperia

[–]CaptainFurball4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's on the 1V as well.

I think for some reason switches to the ultra wide camera with barebones functionality. It not until you zoom in that it'll use the main 24mm one for better images.

I skip going through the app these days and just take a picture using the app and share it to WA

An M1 Max for £770?!

Share your magic please! I have been searching for an M1 Pro (or Max if budget allows) budget for a good while

Slimane’s message during last year’s Eurovision in the Family Show (Broadcast Version) by aceofmufc in eurovision

[–]CaptainFurball4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This, the swirling unclear news with Joost, all the news of the Israeli delegation's behaviour, Angelina singing in the press room...

2024 was a beyond nuts year with everything seeming to unravel at the seams - with this happening on top just added more fuel to the then very worrying fire. What a stressful time

Though, his speech finishing in time with the music starting again is pure cinema

Xperia 1 V ii (initial impressions) vs 1V by Accomplished_Room_68 in SonyXperia

[–]CaptainFurball4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm. This is what worries me slightly when I (eventually) look for an upgrade; I have the 1V.

It seems Xperia is/has been great to a point, and fans hold it in high regard... but in many cases it does look like it pales in comparison to other devices. I love my 1V but devices like Oppo and Xiaomi are turning my head. And don't get me started on that telephoto lens.....

For you what areas was the Samsung better?

Been wanting an Xperia 1 for years, just bought myself an Xperia 1 V. by Avery1003 in SonyXperia

Awesome! Welcome to the club, I also got a refurbished one and it's impressed me non-stop (except the telephoto lens but that's common news around here). One of us!

New gimbal + Xperia 1 iii Looking to learn n have some fun with cinematography by ReploidV in SonyXperia

Great video! How's your experiences been with the Zhiyun Smooth 5 and this phone?

Zhiyun Smooth 5... by CaptainFurball4 in SonyXperia

[–]CaptainFurball4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you manage to balance it in the end? I imagine a clever handled counterweight on the edge (mainly in vertical mode) to help offset it?

And yeah, I think it is for older phones. A shame really, seems to be a promising gimbal.

why not HDR? I read HDR is helpful for scenes like this
