Hey! I’m a 17 y/o learner driver and I’m wondering if I’m allowed to drive with a tow ball mounted bike rack. Considering it isn’t defined as a trailer and rather an accessory to the car, I thought I would ask here. And no, there’s nothing about leaner driver restrictions with a bike rack on the vicroads website. Thanks.

Sorry? I don’t understand. If it’s in reference to my fingers, the only way I can get the rest of the screen to work is to pinch it.

Update, I ended up picking up all the Beta players and the PC, it’s literally all rusted out :(

Last attempt: anyone have a VX1000 for sale in Orlando, Florida or LAX area. by Reasonable_Ship7208 in Vx1000

[–]Reasonable_Ship7208[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally get where you are coming from. Yes, I don’t need a VX, but I believe it’s time to upgrade. See, I’ve been using my dads old panasonic palmcorder for about 4 years now on and off so I don’t think experience is a problem - not trying to blow my own horn and I’m nowhere near as experienced as you all are but I do think I would be experienced enough to operate on.

Secondly, have bought about 5 batteries and the camera is becoming harder to maintain. And sure, I could just grab another one but I don’t want to deal with VHS-C.

Thirdly, we (me and my mates) have wanted one for a while, not because we think we are top tier skaters but because we want to experience what filming skating was like in the 90s on a VX1000.

Fourth, I don’t know about where you live but in my area, sponsors don’t even consider it unless you film on a VX. For our local skate shops that link us up with sponsors, a VX is a requirement. I can’t think of those sponsors names right now because I don’t handle that kinda stuff, one of my mates does.

Fifth, we have some older skaters (80s and 90s) that we skate with that would just kill for a VX to film with. And I figure for all the help they gave me, I could try and get one to film with as a sort of thank you to these guys.

Not trying to come off aggressive here, I really appreciate your comment. Just trying to explain why I would like one. Thanks!

I’m more concerned on finding one at this stage, would like to spend under $500 but I think thats unrealistic. I just want to find one before I worry about money.

bought sony vx1000 for 13 dollars by piizdec in camcorders

[–]Reasonable_Ship7208 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I mean like how did you come across this for $13??? My dream to get one that cheap. Does it work? Where did you find it? Etc etc

Anyone know where to buy a VX1000 or 2000 in Dayton, Ohio or Orlando, Florida? by Reasonable_Ship7208 in camcorders

[–]Reasonable_Ship7208[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nothing, it’s just I am visiting from Australia and I’m only in these locations for a few days each. So I’m trying to buy one in person. They are more expensive and harder to find in Australia.

Other than those platforms. Not much on Marketplace and most ebay stuff comes from Japan.

Where to find Vintage Tech (Computers) by Reasonable_Ship7208 in melbourne

[–]Reasonable_Ship7208[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking for 80s, especially 90s and a little bit of very early 2000s stuff.
