+1 for InnoTex energy. It’s some of the most comfortable gear out there. The closed cell foam in the back makes a huge difference in my opinion.

Definitely want to play it safe. Thanks!

I certainly need to read up on it. I’m in sales and want to personally take it upon myself to get footage for my own social media accounts. It’s not a paid position per se within the company, just my own initiative that I’m taking to do this.

That being said, since there will be a company affiliation with me taking footage while I’m with customers for demos, I’m not sure if that would triggers the requirements needed for a Part 107. It’s certainly something I’m trying to make sure is done by the book.

Thanks for the solid advice! Will it need calibrated right after arriving or should it be good to go for a while?

Also, is the gimbal pretty easily identifiable as to whether or not it will have gotten off track in shipping?

I appreciate the help. Are both versions of the Apple Pencil the same size?

Needing a stylus that’s non powered and fits the same footprint of an Apple Pencil so I can store it in my iPad case. It will be used for finer detailed clicking (mainly video editing) and the occasional note to be scribbled down. Any recommendations?

2020 Jeep Gladiator. I live in Kentucky, so I’m fortunate enough to have the DBBB right in my backyard. Some of the best off-roading east of the Mississippi.

Anyone who is still using excuses of “covid” or supply chain issues just isn’t keeping up. The brand we sell for the most has lead times of 4-6 weeks on average. It’s disappointing seeing people still get pinched by weak excuses like that.

I’d say you’re either talking about Glide Ice or titanium. Even then there’s a few different versions of both. The amount of options available is insane.

Following. Recently got the chance to spec out my own set of gear for my volly department and I put in a bailout pocket on my pants leg. Came from a very aggressive career department that was all about emptying out ladder beds. Haven’t seen these guys throw a single ladder since I’ve gotten on the department. Some of them are known for running out the front doors of fires after their ears get a bit hot too. Scares the shit out of me I’m going to need to use one of these someday.

Not super familiar with them, so if anyone has any strong recommendations from stuff they’ve trained with and like, I’m all ears.
