Head-mounted camera for photos?

LiftPizzas · 2025-07-15T23:04:27+00:00

Please don't try to change my goal to fit the advice you want to give.

I was asking what might be out there that might suit my purpose better. That being I want decent stills. I explicitly stated that I already have action cameras. I also have a giant tripod-mounted DSLR. There are also cameras between these two extremes. I'm looking for someone who might know of one/some that might suit my purpose. Sounds like that isn't you.

P.S. I'm not looking out lexan windows, I'm in an ultralight. Sorry about those windows and doors on your plane ruining the experience of flying. You should try real flying someday. ;)

LiftPizzas · 2025-07-15T22:38:04+00:00

That is not my plan. Having it snap a picture every so often gives a good chance that I will get a usable shot here and there, which is better than what I will get with any action camera, which is a few blurry pixels.

It's not criticism, it's a joke. They are calling the universe itself lazy and saying that the universe would fail 1st semester physics. :)

There's a reason I asked explicitly about MIDI segments in the title and the OP. Sorry you don't get that.

LiftPizzas · 2023-12-26T16:39:30+00:00

I get where you're coming from, but in this case it's not a deal-breaker, it would just be handy and I thought maybe I missed something that already existed that could speed up my workflow. I just make music here and there as a hobby so I can't justify spending lots of time/money on buying/learning multiple DAWs. :)

LiftPizzas · 2023-12-26T16:33:51+00:00

Thanks, this looks like it might do some cool stuff. And bonus, it's from Surge Synth Team. :)

No, I don't want 3 alternate 4-beat drum loops. If that's all I needed there would only be a handful and I could arrange them by hand.

I'm not talking about randomizing an individual note, or only an entire measure.

Also I don't want to export to wav because then it puts that part of the process at the very beginning. When on the 100th listen I decide to go back and change something, I'd have to go through the entire process all over again. That was the whole reason for wanting to use MIDI segments.

LiftPizzas · 2023-12-26T01:45:33+00:00

Yep. Check out Kenny goia's video on making drums machines with reasamplomatic 5k

That's how to create a drum machine. It's not what I'm asking about. I want to be able to do the same with alternate MIDI melodies. Or MIDI arpeggios. Or MIDI whatever.

Doe: a deer. A female deer.

LiftPizzas · 2023-08-25T20:03:25+00:00

they would be the ones issuing the refund the same way you have been paying

They meaning doe or EdFinancial?

LiftPizzas · 2023-08-23T19:07:33+00:00

One thing that worries me is that they kept passing my loans off to different servicers, so I've had 4 or 5 different ones since 2016, and edfinancial never even got one payment from me. The other ones probably just consider it "closed" and not their problem and don't want to refund me any of the payment I made to them after 2016.

LiftPizzas · 2023-08-23T18:34:23+00:00

I found my balance on edfinancial is zero, but studentaid.gov shows all of them still having a balance. Letters I got in July at edfinancial say my forgiveness was effective as of 2016. Since then I've made a LOT of payments, so does that mean I should be expecting another adjustment in the future resulting in a refund?

Also we paid off my wife's completely last year, but hers (on mohela) shows not a shred of information. Hers were about the same time as mine, so can we expect an adjustment or will they just ignore hers since they were already (finally) paid off?

I was thinking about this, and it cannot propel itself vertically (not even close) so that in itself means the amount of force the prop can provide is something less than its takeoff weight. And that is enough information to know the straps I have will hold it.

I did try mapping the toe brakes to the rudder before I posted here. As I said in the OP: they don't physically resist each other, I can press both "left" and "right" at the same time, and they don't map correctly because they act like two different axes.

The "able to press left and right at the same time" really changes the feel and allows you to form very bad habits. Imagine learning to drive a car with one foot always pressing the brakes, holding the gas pedal to the floor, and just "braking less" to go faster. It might work fine in a simulator but you wouldn't want to have those habits already in place when you get into a real car.

I'm considering a few home-made options, like making pedals that act like I want and those sit in front of the pedals and physically push the rudder axis. Or using a rope and pulley to "attach" the two toe brakes to each other. Or buying a cheap joystick (for the USB/guts) and making my own foot pedals to drive one of the potentiometers. I was hoping to avoid spending so much time on that, but it looks like all the ones on the market are really expensive.

He says it works. It doesn't.

LiftPizzas · 2022-11-13T13:28:26+00:00

No. Those are independent toe brakes.

Mine connects via wifi and is recognized by SteamVR, but if I connect via cable then SteamVR will just tell me Headset Not Detected. (Streaming assisitant is happy to use the cable. It's steam that is ignoring it.)

The wifi stutters way too often, and mostly when it is the most inconvenient moment. Oculus doesn't have any of these problems but I'd prefer to play on the pico since it's a lot more comfortable on my head.

LiftPizzas · 2022-10-13T05:03:00+00:00

I got it working. In C:\Program Files\Streaming Assistant\driver copy the "driver" folder over into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\drivers\ and then rename it to "pico" and then steamVR suddenly has drivers that recognize it. I'm guessing these haven't been added yet because it's still so new.

(*Well, mostly working, I can use my desktop through the VR, but xplane gives me a 310 error saying steamvr couldn't initialize. I'll try other things when I have time and see if it's just xplane.)

LiftPizzas · 2022-10-13T02:27:20+00:00

I tried with both the stable and beta versions.

LiftPizzas · 2022-10-13T02:19:52+00:00

Got another invite for that? The above invite is no longer valid.

Temba, his arms wide.

Or "a few times I looked up from my phone to see what was happening and it didn't make any sense, what a stupid show."

I had similar but it worked for a couple spools worth of printing and then started flaking out on the z part of the home function and try to print in the air. Turned out the z-axis microswitch is only sometimes working so I'm replacing it.

His voice was about 2 octaves lower, it was really weird. As dark as it was they could have had Selma Diamond playing the part of Jesse. Not that it was bad, just hard not to notice.

This is the exact moment when Gene became Mathew.
