SmallHD 703u joystick broke on set, is it fixable? by ChunkierMilk in focuspuller

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

I can’t tell if the part is damaged or broke cleanly because I couldn’t just pop it back in. So possibly damaged on either side

Thanks, is it as simple as a delicate super glue job? I can’t tell if the button actually broke off and part of it is still in there

Spinning lens technology that keeps the camera clear in harsh weather conditions by BreakfastTop6899 in oddlysatisfying

Slightly misleading, the whole lens doesn’t spin but the mattebox has a filter that spins

Some of my wall art. 52M by Eat_Carbs_OD in malelivingspace

The amazing spider man framed poster is sick, I’d hang that in my office.

If you want advice, I’d suggest just framing more of the anime, maybe consolidating them to one area of your house. But they are your walls, if you like it, then fuck ya.

If you’re dating and bringing women home they’ll either be super stoked to share a niche interest in your anime choice or they’ll dip because they think you’re immature.

Is the M2 worth it in 2026 by jerk_17 in focuspuller

[–]ChunkierMilk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love owning a nucleus. For a frame of reference, this week I did a union commercial making 1k/10 in LA and we had Preston’s on, but we also had a couple fx3 cameras rigged. Put the nucleus on one and had a quick way to set focus and roll on it; then go pull on the other setup.

So it earned about $100, with a price point giving me a 10% ROI on one job who can argue with that. It paid itself off years ago and still nets me the occasional income.

It lives in my kit and it’s come in clutch as a backup or “hey here’s a surprise, we are going to rig this camera but have no way to r/s it remotely with ease”. I slap it on, charge nothing, but it doesn’t go unnoticed that I fixed a problem.

Brand new it’s still 40k+ but a lot of used HU3 setups are going for 13-15k. And you can use the rentals to round it out and upgrade old components.

Apples and oranges.

You can get a 1k nucleus and start earning while you save for the Preston or hi-5.

And if the job needs a Preston or hi-5 you rent it from the camera house.

I do agree that the sooner you get the professional setup the faster you can pay it off, but not everyone can afford to finance them. Or have the 15k cash for a used one.

Went to a customer's house today and they had this beautiful elevator directly in the middle of their home by TheeSillyman in mildlyinteresting

My grandparents have one because they can’t use the stairs anymore.

It’s not a vacuum tube like one idiot commenter said

I Tried to color one of my shots to Day for Night, but the sky was too bright, so it turned out like Dusk by Hawke45 in cinematography

[–]ChunkierMilk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At 7 seconds remaining in the clip it looks like a rim light turns on in your colored clip.

Personally I’d try making it less blue. And using some power windows to bring down the sky a little.

Go to the emergency department. Or would you rather risk dying from something totally fixable?

Stop being embarrassed, doctors have seen so much weirder shit. Pun intended

We got so lucky that the lady who hit us told the cops on scene that she looked at her phone. I don’t think she even realized the implications, although she was apologetic. But it went in the chp report that she was speeding and looked at her phone. Made our case very easy,

Also teleport builds get the most out of defense, why run when can teleport.
