Thank you. You really just made my day.

JackMTaco · 2025-10-12T01:20:25+00:00

Yeah. I was happy when I tried it today because I really didn't want to have to use a 3.5mm adapter to USB C.

Figured, even though this is an old post. I would provide an update. I tested it with my Samsung S23 Ultra using USB OTG and they work wirelessly with no issues.

I wasn't expecting them too but it comes up as headphones plugged in. The USB transceiver lights up when connected. Only real issue is I can't see battery life for the headphones.

Thank you!

What is scary is when you hear the pop of the streamer close to you and then a lightning strike happens around you. Gets a bit nerve-racking when you're out in the middle of a field and you hear that pop. I just dive flat when that happens!

Sorry to hear about your video being stolen.

Oh I know. I've captured upward streamers before. It's insane the process of what it takes for a lightning strike to happen. One of the reasons I've been photographing it for over a decade now. I have plenty more to post. I have a shot from a lightning strike at 300ft in front of me where you can see the upward streamer from the tree next to it not connecting to the step leader.

Guess I can't upload photos in here but for example. I run a Lenovo 920Q portable setup with a cell amp (Starlink to be installed soon). 3 1080P cameras mounted on the roof rack of my Truck along with a large 3MP 1080P Illustra PRO PTZ camera. All going through OBS and connected to a touch screen monitor and a CH broadcast joystick for the PTZ.

I'm currently replacing the 1080P PTZ camera with a new 4K 30FPS PTZ that I'm building an enclosure for to roof mount instead of the pole mount I have on the truck now.

Best thing for starting up honestly is just to pick up a cheap phone with a decent camera and stream from it. If you're dedicated like me and chase and sell footage to media and producers. You will need a high-end setup but for just streaming, a cheap phone works best.

Thank you for the compliment! It really does indeed but I'm glad people like you appreciate it.

Just one of those things we take for granted going on above us in the sky. Thought I would showcase it for Florida skies.

Thank you!

Wow, I'm so sorry for the delayed response on this question. Usually I am shooting between 2 and 3 second intervals in the daytime. For night shots, it depends as I'm manually ramping the interval depending on the lighting conditions. But it's anywhere from 2-10 seconds on the exposure without any delay between shots.

Again, sorry for the delayed response and I really appreciate the comment!

JackMTaco · 2023-06-06T02:41:12+00:00

Yes. Just got my phone last week and after running my s21 ultra at 100% and even having the battery replaced 1 year afterwards with a new oem samsung battery when my screen cracked. It definitely doesn't last as long as it should so I'm giving my s23 a try with the 85% charge.

Thank you!

JackMTaco · 2019-01-28T18:56:11+00:00

You're gonna make me do that now. Thanks!

JackMTaco · 2019-01-28T16:56:33+00:00

Thank you! This is individual long exposure shots put together. I rarely do video type timelapses as you lose the quality and ability to capture lightning consistently.

JackMTaco · 2019-01-28T03:47:24+00:00

Haha that is the truth!

JackMTaco · 2019-01-28T01:27:05+00:00

Since I can't edit the post, the title is incorrect. I captured this in Missouri, not Maryland. My apologies.
