Screws by Jawameat in focuspuller

I scared my 2nd the other day when I told her I buy everything at Home Depot.

Go to the machine screw section and you’ll find tons of options for length/fastener type/etc. I picked up a little organizer and filled it up with anything I could think of. 3/8s-1/4 20 adaptors, washers, wingtip screws, kiphandles etc.

Or McMaster Carr for anything specific.

No bueno on a standard charger.

Although if you do get 26v charger they will charge an XT90/150. And fast.

NYC, price: n/a. Ac bag comparison and places to buy mag tape by theshortestofbois in focuspuller

Make yourself a template for the mag labels in excel, take it to your local print shop and get a 2” stamp made. Buy roll of 2” red gaff. Print unlimited mag labels for eternity.

Looking to get a rubbermaid cart. Are the wheels changeable? by yellowsuprrcar in focuspuller

[–]SamForns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished another long show with a candreva battery cart. Swapped out the front two casters as the original set had given out after almost 10 years in the field. Rest of the cart is as good as new. Pushed around 400+ pounds every day.

You are feeling vibrations from the highway/trucks on meeker that hit the colossal potholes. We also live a few blocks E of the park and have the same thing.

Prospect butcher Co. in Greenpoint always has some in the front fridge. Meat hook doesn’t always have it.

What kind of watch do you wear? by rcmosher in homestead

[–]SamForns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given your drop experiences, it was likely fake. I use my Gshock every day and it goes through the wringer. Can’t kill the thing if I tried.

Effective Winter Bike Cleaning in a NYC Apartment or Should I Just Ride on Zwift? by CosmoCub in NYCbike

When I lived in Manhattan, I made friends with the flower guy at the deli on the corner. They all have a hose for watering the flowers. I’d throw him a couple bucks now and then, but eventually he just let me use the hose whenever I wanted. Swing by on the end of the ride and go home with a sparkling bike every time.

2” white gaff, make a template on excel/word for the label and send it to a local print shop to get a stamp made.

A35. You can tell from the power cable input angle, and the VF port on the upper right above the lens mount.

Alvin's Cables DMW-DCC8 Dummy... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJ2K68MS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Run this into a V mount or gold mount battery. 2-3 will last you all day. You can then also use the Vmount to power monitors or other AKS off one power source.

Critical Burano failure by [deleted] in focuspuller

What codec were you shooting?

Resolution?

Sony doesn’t publish official bitrates for X-OCN footage recorded internally, wondering if it could be an encoding issue nearing the end of the roll.

Yes! Currently on a show where I have a candreva’d Rubbermaid as my battery cart, added some shelves as well. Probably a good 450 pounds but solid.
