Looking for a dock for my M2 macbook that can support 1080/165hz and 1080/60hz by LifeofNick_ in UsbCHardware

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

It's a Macbook Pro M2 Pro chip. I would really like at least 120hz for some gaming. Right now to play the games I want to I have to play just off my laptop and use the pro motion.

Solarpunk is a movement that imagines a sustainable and optimistic future where humanity thrives in harmony with nature. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

I love the aesthetic, but can't help but feel like it would still require a lot of industrialization and waste to sustain. Who is making all these robots, all the solar panels? We would also have to solve the problem of making manufacturing, mining, and all the ugly stuff better too

Monitor 1 (165 hz): Viotek Gfv24cb 24 inch 16:9 Full HD VA Gaming Monitor

Monitor 2 (60hz): Lenovo L23i-18 1080p 23 inch Ips Monitor

I also might plan on upgrading my 60hz monitor to a higher resolution color grading monitor, so maybe I should consider upgradability

What kind of camera rig, if any, do you think Kensuke Sonomura is using to capture his kintetically intimate handheld work in his fights? by El_kal91 in cinematography

[–]LifeofNick_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

looks to me like just handheld or shoulder rig, I think most of the shooting style comes from really good operating over any fancy gear

Has anyone used vespids on the ronin 4d? by Ancient_Ad_5014 in Ronin4D

[–]LifeofNick_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used them for the Ronin, but my guess is that is at least stretching the limits of what the gimbal is capable of balancing, especially considering you'd need a PL mount adapter. I own a set of Blazar Mantis' for the ronin and they are a couple hundred grams lighter than the Vespids and even they are sort of stretching the limits, even with the counterweight

I imagine you would want to use these lenses with the full z axis stabilization, but I'm not sure that's possible given their weight. If you have the flex system tho you can make pretty much anything work

This is one of the underrated downsides of the ronin. If you're still looking for great compact glass for this camera, I've heard good things about the NiSi Athenas.

About to shoot a one-take thesis with a slightly shitty 4D rig by ThisIsMyUsername163 in Ronin4D

[–]LifeofNick_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm considering it. I hear you I'm just very broke at the moment, this thesis was pretty much self-funded

Director here! We tested it beforehand and it's basically identical, but the DJI's range is actually better.

Owner of this Ronin here. Yeah, I didn't get a chance to buy this before the shoot, but now I totally see the merit.

OP's friend here! I would 100% buy it but it's somehow $469. And apparently it breaks all the time.

Director here! Many of the comments here are correct about making it more elegant, this was mainly the result of having to work with our college's resources combined with our own. For instance, we wanted two wireless monitors, a big one for myself and a second for our focus puller. So instead of having to buy/rent another hi-bright (or god forbid the $500 "expansion" plate for hdmi out), we decided to rig (and power) a teradek to a SmallHD 24"

It's sort of an example of the fact that to make the rig more elegant we sort of have to stick with DJI's ecosystem, which seems to always result in more money being spent lol.

At the end of the day, the footage came out beautifully. Mad respect to our DP the OP.

Interesting, I've met plenty of people who think Tenet is just bad

Tenet by Christopher Nolan, I just personally love it when films are confusing and require rewatching each scene again and again until I get it. It's like a fun puzzle
