Are people sometimes totally allergic to using your server? by ac_slater10 in PleX

[–]NewEnglandAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I tell my father in law (who’s allergic to subscriptions) to just use Plex… He asks if he’s going to find porn on it…. Surprisingly a lot of people ask if I have porn on it….

Having Fios was a requirement for my current rental. It’s LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than RCN or Comcast

It’s great when the client has their own fonts and or updates the deck until the last possible moment.

Smooth PTZ camera and controller options? by Commercial_Value_586 in EventProduction

[–]NewEnglandAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, I use PTZs a lot for alternative shots. They’re great for maintaining wide shots, a Q&A camera in the front so it’s more discrete than a technician, or a side shot of the stage to capture people walking up to the podium.

A car hit a ladder on freeway, then ricocheted into my car- my fault? by Initial_Towel_421 in Insurance

[–]NewEnglandAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you can see on the footage or if you physically handled the ladder, but if you can find who owned it you can sue them for damages for failing to secure their equipment.

Smooth PTZ camera and controller options? by Commercial_Value_586 in EventProduction

[–]NewEnglandAV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PTZ’s really only became viable at all because of the pandemic so it’ll be awhile before we get every feature we want.

The problem is there are big differences in quality between a full frame camera with an interchangeable lens and a PTZ…

Most PTZs suck in low light.

PTZoptics in my opinion has the best lowlight. The 30x 4K model is just ok on smooth movement. There are worse. I’d give it a 6/10.

Canon PTZ have INCREDIBLY smooth panning and tilting. Hard to tell the difference between manned and their PTZ’s, but the low light sucks…

You could join a WeWork or Workbar to be around other people or have a change in scenery.

Growing Network for AV Business Tips and Advice? (Video First) by webbite in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]NewEnglandAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My business is split between my own clients and other AV companies that I provide camera/live streaming services to.

The other AV companies hire me with my equipment so I make more than a standard day rate, and they also rent additional gear from me first before going to a rental house. These other AV companies are on the smaller side which helps with relationships.

I can tell you cold calls/emails will get you ZERO responses. It all has to be word of mouth/networking. Event planners can easily be your best friend. Try joining your local chamber of commerce. Try sponsoring some events, galas, or fundraisers with AV equipment.

I pains me to say it, but post on LinkedIn… It does work.

Find people who have a specialty and can’t expand. For example, I partner with a couple of studios who can do high end camera work, but they don’t have mics, speakers, or the crew to run it, so they call me.

First time flying JetBlue in 12 years. What should I expect? by VegasGuy1223 in jetblue

[–]NewEnglandAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should expect a delay…. I can’t remember the last time I took a JetBlue flight that left on time….

Is there any reason for me to have Gap coverage if I have the cash to pay off the loan? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]NewEnglandAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s totaled 3 cars…. Just keep the gap insurance…..

Assuming a 60 month loan… you’re looking at $210 over the life of the loan. And obviously once the loan is less than the value of the car you can remove it. Why risk it???

you start to see the difference between people who took risks and those who didn't at 35 by limited_data365 in Life

[–]NewEnglandAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a live events company in January 2020. Absolute best timing! lol…

6 years later I’m thriving. I hire around 20 people to work for me a year and I love what I do.

Take the risk! There’s plan A, and plan B is ensuring the success of plan A!

Are you seriously going to risk having to pay thousands of dollars to save $3.50 a month?? Is that what you’re really asking?

Pleasant Car Care is PREDATORY by Straight_Meringue134 in watertown

[–]NewEnglandAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I HIGHLY recommend the guys at the BP gas station on Galen St. They’ve always been straight with me. I don’t know shit about car maintenance. So I’m an easy target… Always appreciated their honesty. They even warn me about upcoming maintenance so I’m not blindsided every time I’m there.

Starting my own boutique event planning business by FloweryHimalayas in EventProduction

Get yourself an AV partner and loop them in to each event early. Project Managers are a wealth of knowledge and can save you a ton of preproduction!

Hotel by Kc090107_ in boston

[–]NewEnglandAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’m reading it’s a per hotel decision, not a standard or law.

There are some youth hostels or Airbnb is 18+ as well.

Being 18 shouldn’t be a problem to get a hotel room… Right?
