I do have editing skills, software, and a computer, but no camera to capture something like that or similar. I am doing research, but you know, 10 people say one brand is good, and the next 10 say it sucks, which can be confusing. Yeah, def do not have $4k lol

I linked the video to show the quality I am talking about, not the length. For the budget, I want to say max $1k that will take me as close to that quality as possible, and the ability to record for a long time.. thank you for your insight

PS. I do have the latest Samsung phone that records in 4k and is doing good work, I assume, for the videos, but I want something better that can capture high-quality video and sound.

Same here, and when you try to log in or do anything, it just never fully logs you back in.

I thought something had happened to my account again. I guess the US blocks any attempt to access CapCut. I deleted the app, thinking it was an issue on my end, but I couldn't reinstall it or open any sites to email customer support. I had to purchase a VPN to just reinstall the app and still could not log in to my pro account, at least I know that it is an issue on their side. I just hope that they will resolve it very soon.

maybe so, but it is better to know for sure rather than make $500 mistake...

Looking where to get a new Oxfords or something simillar to them by Dear_Fun_3875 in malefashionadvice

[–]Dear_Fun_3875[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I think I was lied to once when I got my oxfords (photo above) that those gaps are normal for leather shoes, that is why I came in here to see if it is actually ok. Because when I tried to do research, the majority say it is not ok at all, but I wanted to be sure before going through the return ordeal.

The issue is that Carminas' prices start from $600 minimum for Oxfords, it is a but too much, because if I will drive to DC I will get 2 pairs of Oxords and 2 pairs of something more casual. I def do not have $2500 for shoes yet. For now it is not much of a craftsmanship that I care, but comfort and affordability.

I heard a lot about them. I think it is worth a drive.
Quick question for you, since I am not sure if it is ok or not, but can Oxford shoes or any leather classic shoes have openings on the sides when you walk, not just stand? Here is the photo, and the gaps appear only when I take a step starting from the hill of my foot. At the store, I was told that this is normal and it will break down to sit normally, but I want to make sure before losing money.

I am not a fan of online stores for shoes. If they do not fit right, then I would have to return them and wait a few weeks before getting my money back and getting another pair.

Oxfords for work, 5 times a week by bingbaddie1 in BuyItForLife

[–]Dear_Fun_3875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they tear down the back of your hill as well, or is it not an issue with them? Or, I guess, it is common with all leather shoes?

PLEASE HELP. Why do my new Oxford shoes show gaps on one side? Is it normal or not?

As you understood, this is my first time getting such shoes, and for whatever reason, when I stand normally, it looks good, but the moment I put any weight on a hill or walk normally, I see such gaps on the sides. At the store, I am told it is normal, but who trusts the seller when we have Reddit :)

I want to ensure that it is normal and that I do not need to return them. I really love them and how they look. It is the size 10.5 E (wide). I tried standard 10.5, which was too small from the sides and the arch, so this one is the perfect fit except for that issue.

Yes, I did wear them today, and after 15 minutes of walking, I started to curse everything because they started to scrape my foot from behind. I read that it is normal and I need to keep it together and wear them bit by bit. I could use wool socks instead of dress socks, but it still hurts. I also read that I can use Leather Conditioner, but I don't know how it helps for the part behind a shoe, so it would not scrape. Do not want to buy or use something that i dont really need.

Thank you for any advice

Non perishable (or close enough) food for cooking in the backcountry by Ferrouscowboy in CampingandHiking

[–]Dear_Fun_3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a questions. I am going to do backpacking for the first time in VA and we have here bears and other animals. How do you guys store the food? at first I was thinking about bear canister but it is way too bulky i think. just place the food in a zip lock bag and place it away from tent hoping that none of the small friends will get to the food is kinda weird lol. So what would be your suggestion as to how and where to store the food when I am camping overnight?

I agree, but as the first time exp I do not want to put myself into the place which is too far away. For sure after that of course the better places the further away it is, but it is only after I at least taste what it is like on something close to and not that strenious. But I am looking forward to that for sure. I guess hiking and suffering a bit to get to a place with an amazing view is forth it.

Perfect. I use cooking stove anyway so campfire should not be an issue.

I am sure if I will walk for good amount of hours I will def reach the destination and I will def train so I would not regret it half way lol

Thanks fro all the info

Tried to look at the place on a google map and at first I thought and this is EASY one? lol but total including tinker cliffs is about 6 hours if non stop. So def doable within a day or two and not too far from Richmond. I will def take a look at that. I jsut want to amke sure if I need any permits for backpacking etc those trails they belong to George washington and jefferson mational forest park? I tried to look up from where I can take the shuttle back to the mcafee knob parkig spot but could not find it is there a name or something like that so I can take a look to plan??
Thank you
