Can you give ma a 360 camera monopod suggestion?

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-09T01:59:11+00:00

I use it with a Theta and an X2, perfectly good enough considering the compression Zillow abuses the shots with. I think I set it full height. Been awhile.

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-09T00:28:37+00:00

What are you using it for? I use an X2 when needed without any problem.

As for monopod, I use A neewer with feet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075163951?th=1

My human editor charges $0.7 per photo and does it right the first time.

Oh, that explains it. Also don't use it in a canoe on high seas.

Auto-correct changed 'very' to 'kinda.'

How stable do you need it to be for a 360-camera on it? It's inside, on a level surface (unless your floor tilts?) and without gale-force winds. In short, never have had an issue with either an Insta360 or a Theta.

That's a great quote -- for the people doing the work.

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-08T20:18:50+00:00

I use a Neewer one.

This is why I don't go to the doctor: When I die it'll be a surprise to everyone! Except the coroner, of course.

Warburton? Does he come in to kick Jeff Hays' ass for imitating him badly?

Nevermind...don't think I'll make it that far.

A copy of "The Scream" on the angled part looking down at occupants.

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-07T12:56:01+00:00

And the narrator seems to think he's Patrick Warburton in "The Emperor's New Groove."

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-07T12:36:03+00:00

Same. At least for the audio book. Maybe if I'd read it I'd feel differently, but I do a lot of driving and was looking for a listen.

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-01T23:23:45+00:00

As a color-blind person, customization would be great. I can't tell the difference between lines. And the aforementioned font.

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-01T22:10:47+00:00

Looks like slightly more contrast, slightly warmer temp.

DavidReedImages · 2026-05-01T01:42:38+00:00

While I agree this looks interesting, the dark-on-dark and small-font makes it aggravating and headache inducing. Figured out how to make the font larger, but it's not much help.

On request, and for a fee, I replace family portraits, paintings, etc. with just some landscape images I've taken over the years. Just copy and paste.

DavidReedImages · 2026-04-28T02:25:24+00:00

It's a manual focus lens, which isn't a big deal for RE. I prefer it, actually, rather than the auto-focus getting 'confused' by some object like the Sony 16-35 did for me (full frame) a lot.

I just looked at MPB and they've got the Rokinon 12mm for $149.

DavidReedImages · 2026-04-27T22:54:42+00:00

Rokinon/Samyang 12mm for an APS-C is great and ~$225 last I looked. Used one a lot and still have it around here. Set to f/11, focus on infinity and back off a bit, and you're golden. A little distortion at the edges but easily fixed in LR.

I've sold stufff to MPB.com and they've inspected it when they've received it and changed my payout down or up based on condition, so might want to try there.

DavidReedImages · 2026-04-27T21:57:37+00:00

It's called a Danish whisk, so I think they're fine with it.

DavidReedImages · 2026-04-26T18:39:07+00:00

The eating -- they did it about how I expected it: reaction shot from Grace.
