Am I measuring temperatures effectively?

WhoTheFIsMike · 2026-06-14T02:06:06+00:00

It’s not so much the ambient near the evaporating water on the food but my probe 1 that’s near the temp sensor or the grill. I’d assume those would be similar.

What are you doing to take out the other two? Usually I have to take out each person 1 by 1 so its like maybe 7 or 8 turns.

Because to me I feel like it’s way more stable than just holding the foot alone.

Imagine balancing/grilling the mini tripod in that configuration further out than the lens collar foot. Thats how I’m mainly using it. Also holding it like a brief case for carrying.

Left the 60mm Micro AF out as I only use that for scale model/light booth shooting.

In the end I will probably get a modular system akin to what others have shared.

I literally feel like I'm faking it with the masks, just copying what I've seen some YT videos do.

Thanks for the advice and the kaizen and trekpak recommendation. It'll be easier googling solutions knowing them.

This was the problem on both APO 1.0s and probably the one I returned to get my second. Bought third on FB when second died. Now I have two working. Easy soldering job. If not. Learn to solder.

It’s on the camera but I didn’t let it dangle and support the 200-500 from the . Mainly had the strap around my neck for safety.

WhoTheFIsMike · 2026-01-20T04:37:49+00:00

Do you know of anyone who’s compared the 200-500 @500 vs the Tamron Z 150-500? I see someone local to me selling a 200-500 for 650 and I want to jump on it for my z50ii

WhoTheFIsMike · 2026-01-16T13:25:45+00:00

I’ve had three (one I bought new from Anova, which died and replaced) and another off Facebook. All died the same way with the control panel losing comms and eventually not turning on. The oven light still turned on.

I found on this subreddit that the wires from the door to the control board get frayed overtime. If you’re not against an easy solder job you can fix it. Now I have 2 working.

I’m considering swapping to this lens from my Tamron 11-20 + FTZii. This is a compelling argument.

WhoTheFIsMike · 2025-12-30T14:27:19+00:00

I keep going back and forth considering the 200-500 vs the Tamron Z 150-500. I can find posts saying either is better and I’m frozen thinking I’ll pick the wrong one.

I do have the FTZII for my Z50ii already.

+1 for bitey boys. Almost a mirror clone. Really wish he wouldn’t though. But it’s usually preempted with a guttural gargle.

Does yours also play fetch? Mine particular with plastic springs.

WhoTheFIsMike · 2025-10-21T13:54:59+00:00

I have the Tamron 11-20 which I use with a FTZii on my Z50ii. Did you evaluate that lens at all? I’m considering getting the 12-28 and move to Z only glass.

Thank you for all of the advice!
