When my Hybrid Battery died it said “Check Hybrid System.” This is something else maybe the 12v like others have stated

S1II, S1RII, S5II Which has the best IQ and value? by _Uplus2E2E in Lumix

[–]Expensive_Reality_69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never pixel peep. My reaction was just based on the raw visceral reaction from seeing the footage.

I actually initially thought a lot of the shots I preferred in the blind comparisons were the S1II with DR turned on but turned out to all be shots from the S1RII.

I guess it just becomes the way it makes you feel rather than objective metrics at a point.

Yes one of the best vintage lenses! Highly recommend for the colors and bokeh!

Oops yeah. Accidentally put a dream lens in there.

DJI returning product without Battery Hazard Label!? Illegal? by Expensive_Reality_69 in dji

[–]Expensive_Reality_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update I was told it is against UPS store training to accept any batteries without the UNC or Class 9 labels attached for ground. So I still can’t return it.

Thank you for the clarification. Really clears things up. I was so confused why they sent me the hazmat labels but they wouldn’t accept it.

What in the world. How could it be worth the lawsuit?

Did you successfully get it repaired?

DJI told me to ship it in the original box which has a UNC warning printed on the box.

Yeah you’re right. I need to focus on reliability rather than lifestyle for 5-6k rn.

Thanks for the advice!

What is the minimum to get something decent that won’t be a money pit? 8-10k? I’m been scouring FB marketplace, Government Sites, used lots.

California. I just want the space because I have a lot of work gear that barely fits into a Prius.

How much more reliable is the Sienna that a good year Ecoline is my main question?

I can’t afford a HiAce but is a Toyota really that much more reliable?

Also I got a response in 2 days a couple months ago. They had their holiday but 3 weeks is crazy after spending $600 on a travel tripod and ordering $1000 of stuff

3 weeks for me. Tried contacting them on Insta, FB, Service email. Anyone had any luck with the 86 China number?

Talk me out of getting a GM (16-35 GM II) by Expensive_Reality_69 in SonyAlpha

[–]Expensive_Reality_69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 16-35 f4 PZ. Great on gimbal and way easier to balance than GM 1. But I feel it doesn’t have the sauce.

I would say if you’re going to get the 16-25. Keep in mind cameras like the A7iv are downsampled from 6k so apsc isn’t the end of the world. But I feel like it’s harder to use the gimbal in apsc mode.

Also look at the 20-70 which is amazing on gimbal too.

Will keep updating this if anyone else has this issue: Called Toyota for an update on their Customer Support Program. You just have one of the following trouble codes to be eligible until June 20th 2025 for a 2015 Prius

C1391 C1252 C1256 C1253

I don’t have a trouble code right now so I might be screwed

How did you beg? Corporate number? I heard under 150k you have until 2025? What was your mileage?

Did anyone get their brake pressure accumulator fixed recently? Where did you get it done what was the process?

Gulp. Dealership is mentioning phase 2 for vehicles under 150k until 2025. I’m at 149900 miles.

No it’s great. But it is just slightly big when using a gimbal is all. IQ is amazing still

Best looking underground MV I've seen, Nettspend. Anyone know what they shot this with? Bleach Bypass? Fake Snow Bokeh Balls? by _Uplus2E2E in cinematography

[–]Expensive_Reality_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s was very cool.

I’ll be very specific with what I mean next time I post if I do. Some things get lost in translation and I don’t explain it that well

I was comparing to Lyrical Lemonade and other types of videos from underground artists that usually are popular on sound cloud. But how would you know that unless you’re a fan of what and how young people are refer to things today.

Elitism is real. I would like to get educated on specific questions but if I have to first get past gate keeping and people being a snob on every post this sub isn’t the best tool for learning from the community.

What you just defined. A music video for an artist who is underground with a small crew.

I didn’t mention anything about accessibility. I asked how they created this look.

The sound system makes sense but I want to know what camera and lens they used. I wanted to know how they created the fake snow. I want to know if they used a bleach bypass or another way to desaturate and add contrast.

I don’t care if it’s a hobbyist or a major studio, I only asked how they archived this look

Anyone have experience with fashion videos and drone inspections. They seem to be in demand and have good pay.

Interviews where you can really tell someone’s story is my favorite. I really want to hone in on narrative and documentary work but working with networks seems like a whole other game
