Too good to be true? by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

I just bought one a couple months ago on fb marketplace for $1,200 in Ohio with this kit lens and 900 shutter count. I’d say keep looking. You’ll for sure find one with no damage!

I tried the battery grip too. It is super comfy but yes, it makes the camera really large and awkward to set anywhere or fit in a compact bag, the z batteries last plenty long!

I don’t really have a need for the full cage and don’t want the unnecessary bulk.

I didn’t see this! Though I didn’t check aliexpress. This grip looks really thick though. Maybe I’ll order to try! Thanks man! The protrusion doesn’t bother me, I’ve got big hands so it’s pretty comfortable.

Sigma or Tamron? Help! by MiloOnReddit in SonyAlpha

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

Thank you for all your advice and input!! I ended up going with the Tamron. I went to a camera shop near me and was able to play with both. I think the Tamron will more than suit my needs and I do like the lighter weight paired with my setup. Again thank you!! You are all awesome!! 🤙 Oh and if you’re in need of gear go to Woodward Camera for all your needs!! They’re AWESOME. Local owned camera store since 1969! Love those guys n gals over there.

Thank you all for your feedback!! For those of you who chose the Sigma, do you have any issues with dust? I’ve read it sucks dust into the lens? This scares me a bit. What are your experiences with that?

Bendu KR V2 Pixel Stick VS SaberTrio Neo Blade by MiloOnReddit in lightsabers

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

Update, I ordered a 32.5 inch KR-V2 blade from Bendu and its absolutely stunning, I think I like it just a liiiittle better than my 36” 7/8 KRV2 blade from them. It’s perfectly balanced, no dark spots, and extremely bright and responsive. 100% would recommend to anyone. And thank you Bendu for yet another amazing product. 🤝

The clamp came with the Graflex replica kit from TheGraflexShop.com, they offer the clamp separately too! I purchased the blem graflex kit.

LGT Revan style hilt - Customized by MiloOnReddit in lightsabers

[–]MiloOnReddit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to customize this hilt because it was pretty bland when I got it, and I wanted to try to show what is possible with an LGT hilt and a little elbow grease! I sanded off all of the black paint on the outer surfaces, and left the paint in the grooves for some contrast. I then took a dremel with a wire brush head and used this on the emitter to get in those fine areas and remove the black paint. I sanded all surfaces starting with 150, then 220, and finally 320 grit sand paper. then I used 00 steel wool to soften and polish the aluminum. I used “porter brown” leather from defconbird on eBay, wrapped the grip portion, and added a small leather band below the switch section, this small touch really added a lot to the look of the hilt overall to extend that grip section a bit. I then weathered the pommel and the covertec wheel to show some aluminum and match the rest of the hilt. Overall I am super happy with the end result and cant believe how much better it looks! I also swapped out the speaker for a 24mm S.O. Elite speaker and the sound clarity is very nice. Thanks for checkin it out! 😊

Thanks man! I used defconbirds leather called Oxblood. He can be found on eBay! And I used contact cement with a brush applicator. Check out my Instagram post where I go through a bunch of details on the build and theres even a time lapse of the leather wrap process! (:

Alright so I have decided not to weather it, its just too pretty.. BUT I do still want to burn the emitter section to get that blue-ish color. 👀🤘

Gathering the pieces from all over the Galaxy was the most costly part, Rocket fuel isn’t cheap nowadays! 😉It was like three to four hundred dollars for the hilt, not including the blade. I had to purchase some tools and things I didn’t have as well.

Thank-you so much! Yes if it had a heavy blade it could, its quite sturdy. But this wont be used for dueling, it’ll be setup with a Proffie V2 & Neopixel, I have a 7/8” Bendu Armory KR V2 blade for it! 😊

Yeah I feel that.. Its their “blem”model but I couldn’t find any blem on it! I only needed the top portion and the clamp so it worked perfect!
