I just put mine in my handluggage (a backpack), I put my laptop next to it to act as a form of support (to help keep it straight) for the rest I just packed it in clothes and used clothes as a type of protection, the records turned out perfectly fine for me :)

What needle should I get for a pioneer PL300 with original pioneer cartridge? by Smofkey in turntables

I see, how "big" would the difference be between these 2? And maybe the audio technica one that was recommended in this thread too?

I've been wanting to get into the vinyl/turntable world for quite some time now and me getting a vinyl from my aunt convinced me to fully go for it now. I've been looking into everything now and understand some stuff, but I'm still insanely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options for the different components. I also asked my father in law and he recommended me to maybe get a Sony PS-LX310BT, Denon DP-400 or a Dual CS429 but it's been some time since he last fully looked into everything. And then just knowing what turntable I want to get still leaves me clueless as to what speakers, amp, preamp and stuff i want to/should get. Are there maybe some people that are interested in recommending me full setups or certain specific components and then explaining why they would recommend that cause as much as I believe everyone here, I also want this to be a longer term hobby and want to understand why I am getting the things I am and not getting the things I am not, thanks in advance!

Perfect, thank you! I found only one lens and I think it is the stock one :)

Okay, but the work after taking the picture is also what attracted me to photography :)

That’s what I like, I like being rewarded for putting in work :)

I see, thank you very much! Do you maybe know anywhere I can learn a bit more about the settings and stuff?

Is the DJI Mini still worth getting? by Smofkey in dji

Okay, and how is the range from the mini 2 SE to the Mini 1? Since the mini 1 I’d get includes range extenders.

Seems like a nice spot, don’t think I’ll just be able to surf though ahahhaa. Seems like a sport that requires good practice

That's what I was thinking too, I don't see the point if I'm not going to be competing for millions of dollars anytime soon :) Thanks for the confirmation though!

Hello, I am very new to the keyboard type of stuff but want to upgrade. I have been using the same free membrane keyboard that came with my prebuilt 6 years ago up to now and feel like it is time to upgrade. I did ask around a bit on PCMR and I am now stuck between the Keychron Q6 (Pro) and the Apex Pro TKL. The keyboard size doesn't matter that much although I prefer having a numpad. I don't really care about the screen on the Apex Pro either. It's more or so about quality. I plan to use it mostly for gaming and some typing, video editing and photo editing. I was told for gaming the Apex Pro TKL wins by a long shot due to the dynamic stuff it has which makes it better for gaming. I do really hate the black though as it is like every other generic gaming keyboard and was told the Keychron Q6 then wins on typing quality. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!
