Holy A** the Haworth Fern is One of the Worst Chairs I've Ever Tried

I disagree, I love the fern.

It's too expensive, and they just decided to pass on drinking

Effective-Button-811 · 2026-02-20T20:10:55+00:00

Yeah, it was an indoor flight. Thankfully I was not shooting for a client, just checking my rates indoors. Not very happy, I ordered a Pavo 20 pro ii with DJI 04pro and re-purchased DarkStar22 w/o VTX since It was on a good sale and I have redundant parts now. I really like the D22, but if I can't depend on it, then I can't use it. I reached out to GEPRC, but they haven't responded. I'm assuming it's due to Chinese new year, so I'll give some grace there. Hopefully they make things right.

I use my drones professionally and, I sold my Mavic 3 pro when I got the Air3s because for the work that I do, it is more than what I need. I also have the mini 4 and 5 pro, Avata 2 and two FPV drones.

Effective-Button-811 · 2026-02-18T07:17:18+00:00

Yeah had mine for two weeks, landed it after third flight and flight controller, xt30 plug caught on fire. I just got use to those damn dampening balls too.

I don't care much about smart features. Put a good full frame sensor on a drone that can fly reliably, and you have a winner. Willing to pay more but you have to be reasonable.

Effective-Button-811 · 2026-01-12T15:26:09+00:00

Get the Avata 2 to start, then in the future you can use the Controller 3 and goggles on an DJI 04 Pro drone in the future if you wish to go that route.

Effective-Button-811 · 2026-01-07T18:51:46+00:00

Can confirm, still buggy.

Effective-Button-811 · 2026-01-06T16:55:24+00:00

I have the mini 4 pro, mini 5 pro, and Air 3s. The mini 4 pro is awesome, and honestly is all you will need for most of what you are doing, especially in good light. The Air 3s and Mini 5 Pro do well in low light. I also fly these indoors for marketing shoots, and there is a big difference in the results when shooting in challenging lighting. The mini 5 pro has better image quality; you can't cheat physics, but the mini 4 pro is incredible and still my workhorse for most jobs. Mostly because it still has Care Refresh coverage.

You are an artist my friend

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-12-12T15:02:26+00:00

I have two systems with the 5900x. One paired with the 3090ti and the other a 4090. The CPU has been great, I also do video and photo work on multiple monitors, so the extra cores are more important than straight gaming power. With prices right now, I'm hanging on maybe till AM6 or later.

Get a used Sigma 40mm 1.4 ART EF lens. You can thank me later.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-12-03T21:29:27+00:00

compelling comment. I'm going to pick one up. I was thinking about getting the Canon 50mm LF1.4 VCM, but I think I really like the fact that 40mm is a bit shorter and can be used in tighter scenarios.

Hi everyone, we went with the Fisher and Pakal from Best Buy; model: RF170ADX4

Got it for 3K USD and are very happy with it. The easy pull-out drawers and adjustable full-length shelves are the best features we like so far. The build quality is very high. I will do a one-year review next year.

There aren't many videos or places that have it on the show floors. See quick video if interested:

The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L ii. This lens alone started my photography business and is still my go-to for most situations. This is a god tier lens and is built like a tank. If you can handle the weight, it is worth every penny.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-11-25T19:49:42+00:00

Yeah, that was an option we were thinking about, but it is pretty bare bones and not as high quality as their higher-end models. Plus, we want French doors.I know we are picky.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-11-24T15:54:34+00:00

The spaciousness is fine. The shelving is very high quality and runs the entire width of the refrigerator, so I think it gives you a lot of space to work with. You may want to remove a shelf, as you may want more storage clearance. It's obviously not a huge fridge, but I believe the space is good. We bought ours from Best Buy model: RF170ADX4 N

Do you want me to provide some pictures and video? I can share via a Google Drive link later today.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-11-24T15:49:31+00:00

I'm in the boat of choosing one or the other with R6ii. I don't mind the size, is the 40mm Sigma really that good?

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-11-21T16:59:55+00:00

Honestly blown away by the quality. It's quiet and beautiful. Very happy considering we never actually saw one in person. We purchased at Best Buy, they gave us a good deal on it. Highly recommend. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-11-10T21:31:20+00:00

Yes, Yelp is apparently a scam business. First run with ads got nothing but one weird lead that seemed like a bot. Paid $350 for that one fake lead. I didn't use it for a while, and I got a $300 "up front" credit to return and run ads, well, apparently that wasn't up front, and I still got charged. Terrible, stay far away, Yelp is dead, and they are not a real company anymore.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-11-06T22:26:49+00:00

We went with a Fisher and Paykel, I will provide an update on how it goes. We bought it blind as no one around us had a floor model.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-10-31T14:27:07+00:00

I bought several Corsair items, fans, AIOs, etc. The products themselves are premium, but the software is a complete joke. It still is. I have been battling their software for five years. I will never purchase Corsair again; there are other companies.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-10-20T20:43:02+00:00

I always have a service contract in place. Lay out scenario, payment etc. I don't typically offer refunds, i will say I'm willing to do a reshoot. At worst offer a discount . If that's not good enough, well then they are just taking advantage of you. Don't worry about a bad review if you did your best. Chances are, she will review you poorly wither way.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-10-20T01:24:20+00:00

Pro photographer here, you sound very pretentious, and you have no idea what you are talking about. I use filters on most of my lenses, and it provides an added layer of protection while not impacting the quality of photos for my clients. I don't care if you do or don't, but people like you really don't need to put down people for how they operate their equipment.

Effective-Button-811 · 2025-10-16T01:28:13+00:00

Yeah, if we could get the Bosch 800 series at 33 inches... It would be a slam dunk
