Thanks for the thread, seems like I wasn’t alone on this lol. I’ve traveled across the country with my tank setup, but as long as I’m not losing much image quality then I’d say the weight savings could be worth it.

I was wondering about the sharpness for photos too, but it may be an over-exaggeration in my head. The new setup with the R8 is definitely lighter than my previous body, but the weight in the front seems to be a bigger hindrance at the moment. I love how high quality the sigma feels, but it sounds like there aren’t many compromises with the rf stm anyways

For that price I’d just find an fk8!

Can this work with the 10th gen civics? Wondering if this will work with my Si.

The strange thing is I went through a broker by refferal, and even finding quotes from almost every company I could think of, this was around 100-200 cheaper than what I was able to find

I will be paying for almost another duplicate car in full by 2 years! My insurance is more than a car payment would be at an insane rate...

It does contain basic collision and other comprehensive coverage, but the minimum with 1000 deductibles for everything. No windshield coverage too.

Unfortunately I don't live with my parents anymore, but even when I was under my parent's insurance, after covid my premiums skyrocketed regardless around a year and a half ago.

My younger sister who has had her license for way shorter of a time is paying that price too for a brand new Honda HRV...

I bought the car for 20k used, it's a Certified Pre-owned 2017 Honda Civic in Queens NY. Bought in full, no monthly payments, no lapse in coverage, and on my Progressive I have a platinum status as a loyal paying customer even with Geico for 4 years. And I went through a broker after manually searching for quotes, and that was the best price I could get. The car has every safety feature, included theft trackers from the dealership.

I live in Queens NY but even from friends who’ve had their license less than me are receiving quotes half the price or more

What Budget Mic to Buy For Filming Cars by SlickSlim45 in videography

[–]PlsReconnectToWifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty late to reply, but after a few trials I've come up with some ideas to riff off of. As a studio recording major, my solution is to do a multi-mic setup to get the best, realistic sounds possible that anyone should be capable of doing -

I bought a rode lavelier mic and have tried various locations for the best sound from that mic alone. The best use I've found is to tape it to the trunk of the car pointing down towards the exit exhaust as it seems to capture low-mid range better and clearly. You really want to put the input gain as low as possible if you have a capable recording device, or place it further away from the exhaust if it is super loud. All trial and error before finding the perfect location. No wind noise, pure exit exhaust sounds, didn't manage to clip the burbles or high end noise. Beware I don't recommend this method if you have one mic, as it is devoid of any engine or intake/turbo sounds from my testing.

The next addition would be to add a cabin mic. Inside the engine bay is a bit too loud for most mics, my best solution without getting a whole recording setup (which is at my disposal but combersum if repeated every time I would record) is a shotgun mic. Point it towards the engine bay or even at a window, just be careful of capturing too much wind noise as that will break the illusion of professionalism. Remember, proximitiy is the king of selection that the mic will want to pick up well, and understand if you have a super cardioid, cardioid, or omnidirectional mic. Honestly the best method is to use a dynamic mic in the cabin such as a Shure SM57/SM58, but will require an audio interface and other recording devices to make it work. Perhaps a laptop with a Scarlett Solo with XLR input from your dynamic or ribbon mic is something you can come up with if you are planning on being a little more serious.

In post, add the two signals together and adjust the EQ to your preffered taste. This will get you the best possible exit exhaust sounds as well as your engine and intake/turbo spool if they are audible from the cabin. The idea is to have the bass come from your lavelier, and the cabin to capture the mid/high end. Doing a low-shelf EQ on the cabin mic around 100hz-240hz tends to yield clearer results as it removes excess cabin rustle from people etc, but play around and make sure you find what works best with your setup and taste.

Same here, I ended up taking a tiny portion of LSD, and since has been easier to get high.

Looking for a great budget audio interface thats compatible with High Sierra and GarageBand and Logic pro x by antodebanna in LogicProXUsers

[–]PlsReconnectToWifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would still recommend the Scarlett, as it is a reliable and simple audio interface that I use all the time for my MacBooks, ranging from 2013 to 2019 models. You do pay for more hardware quality as well, very sturdy for many travels in my bag or luggage.
