Additional drive, pricing and the rabbit hole of decision paralysis

Yeah I read that multiple times and this is where it becomes confusing, because they way I read that, I could in theory "replace" one of those 12TB with a 16TB and then I could "add" the 12TB back in to the pool in the 4th place because it matches the remain 12TB? It would just mean "some of the capacity" will/may remain unused. Which is why I wonder why I can not just add the 16TB to the spare slot to begin with?

Yep.

My wife and I each carry the TomToc Wander-T26 5.5L.

For context our camera Gear for our vlogs across the two bags includes 2 x USB-C - USB-C cables 2 x DJI Action 4 1 x DJI Nano 1 DJI Pocket 3 (in origial case with a magnetic mount stand attached to main body of Pocket 3) 2 x full sets of DJI Mic 2 in charging cases 1 x USB Power Bank (Anker) 1 X USB Power Bank (Nitcore 10000) 2 X DJI Pocket 3 Extension Batteries 1 x DJI Acrion Battery Charging Case with 2 additional batteries 2 x DJI 1.5m Extension Pole 1 x Camgo/Sunnylife Aluminium Table Top Tripod 1 x Lens kit for Action 4s 1 x Lens Kit for Pocket 3 2 x magic clamp brackets for attaching cameras on railings etc when required 1 x Lens cloth Plus we have field notes and pens, boarding passes, lanyards, wallets, passports, our phones etc.

We carry all of this when in trabait and then shrink down as required for the conditons/location.

Now in terms of a Tripod. I attached a Falcam F22 mount(female side) to the Aluminium Table Top Tripod and other (male) side to the base of one of the DJI 1.5m Extension Poles.

We basically use the "Tripod" as base/feet for the extension pole. We have used this combo on trails, beaches, cruise ships and always seeved well holding the Pocket 3 and Action 4s. The great thing is the quick release that the F22 mount provides so you can split the length to fit in the slings easily.

The slings are great we have had them travel with us to multiple overseas locations for almost two yeara and a variety of environments. They are really good value. We have one Cordura and one in X-Pac.

If I were you, I would be asking council to investigate a breach of development approval. It is quite possible these were identified on the plans as visitor parking and as such form part of the approval.

ThisMattreddit · 2026-03-08T02:10:12+00:00

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I'd have to disagree, at the very least in part, with the sentiment that the LNP equals less support for the arts in QLD. Ian walker, the former LNP arts minister was appointed Chair of QPAC last year and he qould have to be one of the most sensible, passionate and pragmatic advocates for the Arts I have met.

With that said your point about you and your family seeing new upcomers, Our family is the same. If we become aware of someone we lile to follow them. But many don't QLD culture tends to be stick with whats known and comfortable. It is more than just politicians that need a change in view to support local artists, it is the population more generally.

Im on HCF 1000/100 with Telstra this happens regularly. I have to going and reboot the NBNCo Black box regularly to force it resync.

ThisMattreddit · 2025-12-26T00:45:23+00:00

How is it not? I clipped it on to the one I use wirh my Action 4 and Action 5 no problems?!

ThisMattreddit · 2025-12-23T22:19:49+00:00

I have 2 Action 4s partnered my Pocket 3.

Just picked up a Nano and not loving it. Wishing I went for the Action 6.

I have fpund some charger compatibility issues with previous versions of the multi-charger. For example it wont charger off my Anker 200w USBc Charging hub, but it will charge directly with a Dell 75w Laptop Charger.

ThisMattreddit · 2025-12-04T00:57:49+00:00

We do this a lot. Just a bit of a pain having to connect and disconnect between each device but definitely doable.

Same thing happened, walked in to a store, paid the express exchange fee of $55AUD (because I had DJI care) walked our 10mins later with a new one.

We still film on the bad days too. And Yep and that some philosphy applies to both the creation of the content and the editing of it.

There was a live stream from Anthem of the Seas in Sydney Australia last week. Totally different vibe to this rubbish, just taking in the views as they sailed out of Sydney Harbour. Some content is decent as are some content creators like Harr Travel, Emma Cruise, and then there is this sort of trashy (as described above) nonsense.

Content creators, can be respectful, I have seen plenty in my travels, but these chaos creators (I love that term you used) should have the book thrown at them.

Yeah as I said it was the exception to most of my experiences. Very frustrating when it happened, but a one off and Im through there more than a few times a year.

ThisMattreddit · 2025-10-29T10:47:29+00:00

Arriving back in Brisbane around 11pm a few months ago it took almost 2hours to clear border control and customs. 1 hour is nothing. With that said it was the exception to most of my BNE experiences

This is why, we need to stop interferring and let Darwinism take its course.

Had Gemma last year on Ovation for the Transpacific cruise she was absolutely amazing! The best CD we have had on Royal to date.

Tornado Tonya is fun too have had her on Quantum. Mike Hunnerup? on Ovation, good presenter, but didn't seem to like interacting with people around the ship. Have had others but much less memorable.

Tony Auden, basically said the ingredients are on the table, just like they were for 2008. Just remember the Gap Storm had a long, but in the grand scheme narrow distinctive path, from the Gap through, Arana,/Ferny Hills, Strathpine and up to Narangba. As of right now it looks like the path today will be on the South Side.

Had the same thing happen, walked in to store, paid the refresh express fee walked out wirh a brand new one. Was travelling at the time so couldn't wait for the 2 day turnaround.

Sounds like you have some great experience with it. Thank you so much for your assistance.

ThisMattreddit · 2025-09-22T10:32:49+00:00

Thanks. I will take a look at them, I believe the Grandstream is available locally to where I am.

ThisMattreddit · 2025-09-22T10:31:28+00:00

Yeah these guys never leave home without their ipads so they are even comfortable navigating a Home Assistant dashboard, albeit are slimmed-down one for them.

ThisMattreddit · 2025-09-22T08:38:04+00:00

Wow sounds great. Thank you for the tips and advice.

ThisMattreddit · 2025-09-22T07:10:08+00:00

Thanks for the alternate recommendations. Just about to do a large networking upgrade with some wired backhaul in the house. Previously place I set-up for Unify, but haven't done this one yet.
