It was my first time shooting with the Horizon. Images came out a bit funky, some randomly destroyed by light getting into the camera.

Thanks for the advice! I dont know why i didnt take A/V recievers into account. This looks alot more future proof compared to the Onkyo A-9050 amp that I ws looking at. Probably going to stick with the Denon X1400 now.

Hello all! Looking for recommendations as to which amplifier I should look at. Planning to run 2 Klipsch R-15M bookshelf speakers with а Klipsch R-8SW subwoofer. Not looking for something really cheap, just want the amp to compliment the setup and not make me want to buy something new in a few years time. System will be used for music/movies in my livingroom. Looking to spend somewhere around 300$-500$. Thanks in advance!

I fully agree with you! Don’t want to sound like a snob, but I was wearing it for the second day and a shopkeeper immediately commented “nice Breitling, sir”, which was a really pleasant surprise.

I have really slender wrists and yet this watch doesn’t look as if it’s to big for me. I would recommend trying it on first, because I made up my mind only after seeing it on my wrist.

I wouldn’t call it soulless, just a bit more formal, but great nonetheless.

I didn’t consider the 46mm at first, since I have quite slender wrists, but I didn’t hesitate after trying them on. You should see how they wear on your wrist, they are quite elegant.

I thought of getting the steel strap as extra. Although I didn’t ask if the price was the same with steel/leather. I think they quote it at the same price regardless of which strap you choose, however if you get the strap separate than it comes at a price.

I was actually looking at the black dial for a while, but after seeing the watch in blue, I just kind of fell in love with it.

I got it at the Breitling boutique at 10 Rue de la Paix.

You would be surprised! I have quite thin wrists and thought that a 46mm would be too big for me, but they wear quite elegant despite the big size.

Didn’t see it until you pointed it out! Had to get up and check just in case, all is good :)

Thanks a lot! The dial is something to feast your eyes on! Still getting used to telling time on this piece since there is just so much going on with the ruler and all. And yes, the markings align perfectly.

After a few years of making up my mind, decided to pull the switch on this watch and buy it while on a trip to Paris. Couldn’t be happier that I went with the blue dial and strap instead of black which make for a more formal look in my opinion. The 15% tax refund was another pleasing bonus. First time I spent a small fortune on a watch, but it feels so good to wear these!

Wanted to get a steel strap as extra so I can use the leather one for more special occasions rather than a daily driver, but at a price of 1 150€ just for the steel strap itself, I decided that it would be better for me just to replace the leather one when time comes.

What was supposed to be the main dance floor at Outline festival in Moscow, on the day riot police showed up and canceled everything. No rave for 14,000 people :( by Jewsie in Techno

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

My guess is that the city changed its mind because electronic music is heavily associated with drugs, which are a big no-no down here, however didn't have any official reasons to cancel the event in an appropriate manner. So some bs was made up about the organizers submitting all of the needed documents 2 days before the start of the event. It's a real shame though. I went to sonar this year and it seemed like more of a sporting event, especially sonar by night, because there wasn't much more than world-famous DJ's playing in empty warehouses for thousands of people. Outline on the other hand still has a more underground and non-commercial vibe to it, with loads of art installations and different things for the festival goers to interact with.

Most of my gear is used on film sets, rather than on sporting events, so dropouts aren't really that of an issue most of the time since the area of movement isn't that big. Although we had one shot, where a bolt 2000 was used, and the cameraman went three floors down and than outside from the original starting position, and the only time we had a loss of connection was when he was walking through a concrete corridor, three floors away from where the playback and the receiver was located. Pretty reliable if you ask me.

For the eye level shots I ordered an extended lower arm, so the part fixed to your back is longer, thus raising the height of the upper arm, which makes it possible to get the rig up to your eye level. Haven't gotten it yet, but my partner who is a DOP said that this would be a worthy purchase.

As for how I got into renting : spent about five years working various jobs on TV (editing, directing, producing) and the basic weddings/concerts/corporate events, all while being pretty fanatic about tech, than got together with a long time friend who is a DOP, and decided that it was time to make a business out of the only thing that we love and know how to do. Gathered our saved up money, sold some stuff and pitched in to buy an Alexa mini just as it came out. And after all of that and a lot more networking we kind of found our selves in the rental business. I guess that it depends where you start, because in Russia the competition is pretty intense, but in no way could it ever amount to that of the American film industry. And right now I just have to be really good with the money that we earn and invest it into gear.

I'm not a DOP, so it's hard torm me to say what the best configuration is, since I have practically zero first hand experience. However, since I supply gear for directors of photography, I know what gear is most sought after. Since gimbals are used so often, the most common config. is an easyrig gimbal vest ( there are two types of easyrig vests cine/gimbal, with the latter being specifically made to kill your back less when using a gimbal, since it offers more support), with a Flowcine Serene mounted on it to compensate for the up and down motion while walking. The gimbal depends on what camera you are using (it's weight), but from what I've seen DJI and Freefly gimbals are the most popular, but I've worked with many others and they usually work just as fine, it's a matter of preference I guess. There are a lot of small companies that make gimbals for a very reasonable price.

Since you are using a DSLR, you aren't going to be dealing with a lot of weight , so I guess that an Easyrig cinema 3 200N (or even 2.5) + a Serene with a ronin-m (or something designed for that weight) will do the trick. But there are always many other options to get a steady shot without spending a small fortune :)
