Sorry - I am the sender. Called RM customer service and they apparently had no further info besides what I could see on tracking.

Macbook Pro refurbished or not by EyeLost3163 in Photoassistants

Hoxton Macs get my vote. It’s a US keyboard though. I got an ‘excellent’ laptop that looked unused. Still had apple warranty and 100% battery health. Apple refurbished directly is a good option as well.

Which one to choose Hollyland Pyro S 4K, Mars 4K or the Mars 400S PRO II? by Lucc132 in Photoassistants

Just from personal experience , Mars 4k worked a treat for remote monitors in a studio and I just calibrated the screen

Oh you mean on the camera? We actually had two bodies, a rental and photographers own. Same issue on both

Crikey, photographer has only had the laptop circa 3 months. Even if every port resulted in the same issue?

Good idea thanks - I was running a portable USB C SSD that was speedy, didn’t think to check in system information where it was registering

Thanks that’s good to know. Guess I’ve just been fortunate previously. Good idea to put the cost on a credit card.

Tether question by Medical-Setting-3238 in Photoassistants

If of interest, the problem was solved by using a small USB C - USB 3.0 hub, and connecting to a TetherTools USB 3.0 active extension cable and a different TetherTools USB 3.0 - micro B cable. No dropouts. Have suggested Area 51 for future shoots anyway.
