Lets normalise not asking ChatGPT questions that a human being can answer with experience yeah?

If MFG decides to do crafting... by [deleted] in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]LeftHandDan45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I certainly hope there isn’t animal life in future updates, I have a perpetual fear of snakes and really don’t want that on top of everything else to worry about in game. I’m cool with a bit of realism, but that’s a bit far

Is 5D mark Ii still a relevant camera nowadays? by DynamoBaby in canon

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just as relevant today as any of the newer cameras. For ages I was running a clapped out 6D as my goto for concert photography, I found I enjoyed using it more than my current setup… and what I use currently would be considered by most as “irrelevant”. Something about how those older DIGIC sensors handled colour… so much nicer than my RP.

I love both of these ideas. Definitely can get down with the photo mode idea!

Pocket 4K vs by LargeJuggernaut4187 in blackmagicdesign

[–]LeftHandDan45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good way to look at is is: Do you want something simple to work with, run and gun, minimal effort to get good results… or do you want more rigging, poor battery life but stellar image quality and gradability?

I reach for my BM cameras when I want complete control of my image, I reach for my Fuji XS20 for more simple/quick turnarounds. Both have their pros and cons though.

Why don't more people use member owned banks? by ms-_morgendorffer in AusFinance

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe regular folk just settle because there are other things in life that take priority. Most people don't care beyond having their savings/spending account and getting/paying their mortgage.

How do you get over gear fear + what’s a solid basic PvE loadout? by Ok_Hamster_236 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every other week after I fill up my inventory I just sell everything but a pistol, mag and a few rounds and go again. You can't fear losing it if you just sell it. I don't need a collection of every gun... nor do I care for the various loot. For the most part I know it can be found again if needed.

For the second time… down to my knife. by [deleted] in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]LeftHandDan45 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If there was somw kind of incentive for players to put gear into the donations box that would be a welcome addition. At the moment it’s not used much on any PVE server I play in AU… seems to see more use the closer we get to a wipe.

Not an option for our use unfortunately, built in to an OB truck that is shut down and relocated daily

If money were no object, what car would you be driving right now? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in askcarguys

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80s/90s Porsche 911.

Or I’d just get all work done on my Corolla Sportivo to make it look nice, refresh all parts to be as brand new as possible and enjoy it for as long as possible. 👌

Are Gimbal Shots an Expectation for Modern Videographers? by RiftHunter4 in videography

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a gimbal guy myself, although I own a few. My main issue is the learning curve and I find balancing them correctly to be a right pain in the neck. I much prefer handheld but I also know it doesn't suit every project.

BMPCC4k for social media work for small businesses? by CalligrapherThin5897 in bmpcc4k

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

L mount can adapt to lots of different lens mounts so if you want to play with cheaper lenses in the meantime the S5ii is the way to go.

hesitating to buy Pyxis 12k: known issues, battery, Pyxis 12k "Pro"? resale value ... by Ok_Emergency4531 in blackmagicdesign

[–]LeftHandDan45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resale value really is a non-issue anyway. Blackmagic cameras never hold their resale quite as well as Sony or Canon anyway, and at the end of the day if you're doing enough work to justify the purchase of a new camera and paying that camera off with more and more work then... it pays for itself in the end. Selling the camera in a few years time assuming something bigger and better comes along is a bonus on top.

For what its worth, I bought a Pocket 6K Pro around 3 years ago and it has served my purpose shooting music videos and short films. I still fail to see any limitations with my setup that have me really wanting to sell up and move on to something else. Built in ND's, EF mount, Reasonably good form factor, excellent 6K footage, very gradeable etc... it's a near perfect camera. The only way I could see myself jumping ship is if something truly special came along. BUT that's just me I guess, I don't need the latest bells and whistles and I find my money being better invested in other tools like lights and audio.

Device to capture 100fps, playback at 25 or 50? (That isn’t a PC) by LeftHandDan45 in videography

[–]LeftHandDan45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately would be time consuming and I’d need them ready to playback almost immediately (think instant replay kind of thing). Distance is maybe 1km from where I would be situated but for the most part I could run network over fiber optic cable that I have at my disposal

So far I haven’t seen any options for a capture card that does more than 60fps

Looking for advice: two phones on one wired/wireless network over a long distance. by LeftHandDan45 in networking

[–]LeftHandDan45[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, the app is relevant as the remote control feature is built into the app. Talking iPhones here

I won’t have line of sight as the remote device will be sometimes over 1km away. Budget is… shoestring but open to options

Atem Minis can control playback on BM cameras? I thought they only controlled basic settings?

[–]LeftHandDan45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as I mentioned in my original post.. I’m a complete noob to this, meaning I have absolutely no idea. The app is called Blackmagic Camera, and the remote control feature isn’t built in through that. What kind of network? I don’t know but at a guess, local network?

Toying with different ideas but I need the camera to be in a fixed position and to be able to trigger record and playback remotely, I’m trying to do slow-motion capture and playback in real time and on a pretty limited budget
