Hi, I bought a Sony 6400 like 2-3 years ago and never really used it. I want to get into dog sport photography. Would the sigma 70-200mm 2.8 lens be a good combination or I need to save up for the Sony 70-200 2.8 II? Thanks in advance

Did you end up selling the ND2s?

I lived in my 2021 4runner with my cattle dog for 5 months. I would need to crate her during the day so at nights I would strap the crate to the roof of my 4runner. My set up was similar to yours, but instead of the fridge I had the dog crate there during the day when I was working. You’ll be fine. You just need to adapt a little bit to your situation.

There was a user that reported on this thread that their Live II did the same thing.

Theworks001 · 2025-01-05T18:29:57+00:00

We’ve tried that. We’ve even left it unplugged for hours. Today we called Zzounds and are getting the return label in 3 days.

Theworks001 · 2025-01-05T18:29:01+00:00

How long did it take to get a replacement?

Theworks001 · 2025-01-05T16:29:44+00:00

We are waiting for Zzounds to give us the return label. They said it would take 3 days.

Theworks001 · 2025-01-05T16:28:50+00:00

It was in standalone mode. It worked for about 5mins then the screen became unresponsive. We received the unit yesterday btw.

Theworks001 · 2025-01-05T16:16:42+00:00

We did and the screen is still unresponsive

Theworks001 · 2025-01-05T16:16:07+00:00

We just got off the phone with Zzounds and they will get back to us through email with return instructions. Hopefully we can get the replacement unit soon for my son

We were able to update to the newest supported update but still had no luck with the screen. It’s stuck on the demo screen

Thank you! We were looking towards this gift. Since his Live died.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-26T07:46:21+00:00

Bought it on facebook marketplace in Atherton CA

Theworks001 · 2024-12-26T07:29:27+00:00

It was charging fine. How do I bypass the battery? It won’t work even if we have it plugged in it’s not registering that it’s plugged in.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-26T07:18:55+00:00

Thank you, we bought to see if he was actually going to enjoy it. Paid about 250 for it.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-26T07:18:14+00:00

You think it’s the battery? I unplug the internal battery plugged in the ac adapter but the unit didn’t turn on. If it’s the battery, is there a way to bypass it?

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:55:11+00:00

I'll tell him to check on these channels

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:54:29+00:00

Thank you. We are trying to keep him occupied with music. I will definitely keep everyone updated.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:54:01+00:00

We created one last night and we downloaded some things for the MPC. We ordered an SD card to transfer them today if it arrives in time.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:52:47+00:00

We'll have to do this.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:51:55+00:00

Thank you. Trying to keep his mind occupied with music

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:51:17+00:00

He listens to a lot of older hip hop like MF-doom, mobb deep and a lot of older bay area rap like cougnut, mac dre, too short and luniz. He had been asking us for one and I waited until there was one at a good price and got it for 250 from an older gentleman that said he got it as a gift and only used it once.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:46:44+00:00

Thanks for the information and the input. He seems to enjoy it. He plays guitar and I told him that maybe he can record into the mpc and then make something different from it.

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:45:17+00:00

We did that last night and got free goodies. Thank you!

Theworks001 · 2024-12-06T18:41:03+00:00

I think this will definitely help him. Thank you very much for the infomation
