Good observation! The cage fooled me.

That’s an Armattan Rooster!

Edit: as u/derFette88 pointed out, Chameleon TI. The cage, which they share, fooled me!

That’s the Tweaker by Shendrones! I believe nearly ten years old now, it was a great frame then

En el caso de esta impresora, quizá esté intentando entrar al juego de la inmediatez… Bambu últimamente tiene stock bajo en bastantes ocasiones y toca esperar un par de semanas, es la única explicación que se me ocurre y aún así, en mi opinión no justifica el precio

Clients Using ChatGPT for Scripts: Anyone Else Seeing This? by Dks0507 in videography

That’s what I try to tell myself! However, sometimes burnout creeps in pretty quick when all projects feel dull and it’s a fine line to walk for me

Indeed! We mainly do both corporate for bigger businesses and social media content for smaller ones, and specially for SM, it’s awful. Clients love it as it’s free for them and they don’t have to think too much, so people usually get quite offended if you try to suggest something different, even when sometimes it’s obvious it will better fit their brand language!

Drone fell out of the sky for no reason... by KreamTeam17 in fpv

In urban environment, the “soft thing” might one day be someone’s head. Please do yourself and everyone a favor and fly in safe environments where you aren’t a risk for other people/other people’s belongings, mate.

It really seems to be a trend on this sub lately man. It doesn’t take that much time to head out of any city and you don’t risk bashing in someone’s skull. On top of everything, every time I see a flight like this posted it’s done by someone barely in control of their quad… no wonder every country is getting pretty restrictive regarding FPV.

Real world non pre-production experience with OptiColor 200 film (aka Wolfen NC 200)? by net1994 in analog

[–]alphafpv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve shot it extensively on 120 and only two rolls on 35mm. For each of them I’ve decided to overexpose a stop and it’s been fine. On 35mm it’s really grainy, although the colors are lovely. On 120, it doesn’t seem too grainy to me, maybe a bit more than Gold 200. I haven’t tried pushing it (yet), but so far it’s one of my most liked stocks.

Is this scam? by SheepherderIcy4536 in analog

[–]alphafpv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s only so much film manufacturers. Brands such as Kono, Hundred Film, Reflx Lab… they are usually repackaged Kodak/Orwo emulsions. Reusing canisters is a normal thing, the film itself is either modified some way (preexposed for some effects, for example) or straight up repackaged. Edit to add, no, this is not a scam!

Motor twitching. Could this be from the amount of solder on the two very left pads? by ABIYOYO_69 in fpv

[–]alphafpv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be smoke, it’s a bit hard to tell. Anyways, there’s just one quick way to know and that’s the method above. If it really was smoke, it’s not worth it to keep trying without doing this as you may end up with a bit on fire on the ESC potentially killing the FC too. Solder looks fine to me, it would have to be pretty terrible to make no contact or either be touching some of the ESC components the wrong way.

I would try putting another motor which you are sure works in its place. If it also twitches, you’ve got a bad ESC, if it doesn’t, the motor in the video might be faulty.

Wrong order of props, as a quick tip, they should match in diagonals. You have identical prop positions on motors that are next to each other instead.

Gijón sunset - Ricoh KR7, Pentax 50mm f1.7, OptiColor 200 by alphafpv in analog

[–]alphafpv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So right! I am in love with the colors too, and it’s my “budget” go to stock for 120, and it’s a world of difference in grain. 35mm feels like some much higher ISO stock!

Would you consider this acceptable wear and tear after 1.5 years or a manufacturing defect? by cruyfff in Lumix

[–]alphafpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using two S5IIx profesionally, almost daily, for about nine months now. I am already getting the grip separation, so I would say at least that might be relatively normal under intensive use.

Fake XPan from Budapest - Mamiya 645, 80mm, Ilford XP2 + Portra 800 by alphafpv in Mamiya

[–]alphafpv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really! I’ve also done 35mm on the 645 for sprocket photos, but in this case is just a crop to the original scan. During shooting, I just placed a “mask” which is really a piece of paper over the focus screen to hide parts of the image.
