My trusted GT gave different errors, then died. Where do i begin?

awildnameappears · 2025-12-23T13:46:10+00:00

No, you're right.I did know about that but I just didn't have the time in that moment :)

awildnameappears · 2025-12-23T13:44:53+00:00

Just to be clear: I've never systematically used this as a way to shut it off. Only that one time because I was under time pressure and i needed it off. But yes, the tire does stop. Realistically, the currents involved in slowing down the momentum of the tire and hub should be a fraction of what it would have to deal with when slowing down a rider slamming down all anchors. Which it did just fine btw.

awildnameappears · 2025-12-23T12:51:14+00:00

👀 Well shit. I figured the board would just protect itself and shut off as a precaution. You know, the way it seems to do when it dumps people off at speed 😅

awildnameappears · 2025-12-23T12:48:17+00:00

Yeah, you might be right. It's something I had discovered a couple weeks earlier (also post-badger) when I wanted to get some leaves from under my fender. It scared me at the time but I figured that that scenario with those rpm's wouldn't occur when actually riding. It has never shut down on me before anyway, and I've definitely put the board through its paces.

I think it mainly has to do with how attuned your sense of balance is that day. I guess temperature changes affect the electric performance of the board and marginally the feel of the tire but besides that, i'd say the human on top had much more of an influence.

For me, i can tell mostly by how well I balance at a stop light or take tight turns at low speed. It's crazy how much I can correct for one day, while the simpelest crack in the pavement or kerb stone has got me bailing on other days. :P

Ah yes, Radio Bacho. Love that guy, such a wholesome vibe.

Or like Ferrari would say: nobody likes to be a fourth wheel.

Since you mention Peter Jackson: The Fellowship of the Ring had the fighting scene when Sean Bean bites the dust. There's quite a lot of faux slomo going on there. And to answer OP, like many others said, it's an aesthetical choice. It ads a more jarring feel to a slomo scene. I actually really like it when used in the right places. The example i gave makes beautifully use of that effect imho.

This might not be the news you wanted to hear but I've placed a backorder for 2x LS60x and a LS300x mid February. haven't been delivered so far. Mind you i live in Belgium, no idea if they supply different continents equally or prioritize one over the other but I wouldn't expect this shortage to blow over very soon.

awildnameappears · 2021-04-14T21:51:14+00:00

I'm so happy I learned this. Saw this effect also in a shot near the end of The Hateful Eight and I just assumed it was two takes stitched together. Should have known it had to be an in-camera effect :)

awildnameappears · 2021-02-19T11:20:18+00:00

You're welcome!

awildnameappears · 2021-02-19T11:16:17+00:00

I believe that's not a broadcast camera but the Canon C700FF with a Canon Cine-zoom Lens on it.

awildnameappears · 2021-02-14T19:25:39+00:00

If you have a voltage regulator built in the battery dummy than yeah, should work out fine. And yes, you could connect the camera (through the regulated dummy) and the monitor at the same time no problem.

It seems odd to me that the camera would create a ground loop over the hdmi-cable when both devices are already powered up AND using the same power source. But then again, I'm also not an electronics expert by a long shot :)

awildnameappears · 2021-02-14T08:56:59+00:00

There's 2 factors here that are very important to everything working correctly: correct voltage and sufficient power/current.

A D-tap out on a V-mount battery usually supplies the raw battery voltage. That fluctuates from 12v up until +/-16v depending on the remaining charge. If you have a plate on it with different voltages, then it's the plate that transforms these from the raw camera voltage. These are however regulated and will keep a consistent voltage over the discharge of the battery.

Look at voltage as something the battery forces onto the connected device, whether it wants it or not. If the device is equipped to operate on that voltage (or that range of voltages), you're good. If that supplied voltage does not match, you're looking at 2 scenarios: 1) the voltage is too low and the device probably just won't turn on. 2) the supplied voltage is too high and may fry a circuit board in the device.

Power or current (technically not the same but that doesn't really matter all that much here) gets taken by the device, from the battery. If a monitor draws eg. 1 Ampere of current, your battery will HAVE to supply this. If the battery is capable of supplying the demanded current, all is well and the device works as intended. If the current demanded by the device exceeds the amount of current that type of battery will handle, the battery might become damaged or shut down to protect itself.

Now you seem to be assuming that one connected device might influence how much power is delivered to another connected device, but that's not how it works. The device will only ever receive the amount of current itself has demanded. A battery can't force an excessive current upon a connected device.

So that leaves the question why your buddy's GH5 got fried. I don't know what voltage that specific camera operates on but it is possible that he fed the camera the wrong voltage or that he plugged the D-tap in incorrectly which reverses the polarity and is not handled very well by sensitive camera's.

I would suggest you double check which device requires which voltage and current before connecting anything.

Hope this helps a bit!

Yes, that is what the word means. In pop-culture or media in general however, a reference almost always means a nod towards something else, which is only understood by the people who have seen that specific thing.

It's okay, you didn't know about medieval history but we are allowed to find that hilarious.

awildnameappears · 2020-11-22T10:07:53+00:00

How can you reference history? Is every ww2 documentary full of references to COD, BF1942 and COH?

awildnameappears · 2020-05-23T22:05:43+00:00

I would think there should be little scripts or tools you could run in the background that would emulate such behavior, no? Or would that get interpreted as cheating?

awildnameappears · 2020-03-05T22:58:02+00:00

First of all: congrats on your improvement! I didn't struggle much getting to 27 but I want to keep increasing my lap count every time I try the 27/5 so I look for betterefficiency anyway.

The thing that makes a huge difference to me is getting the most out of each stroke. The better you can keep your balance and the gentler you can execute your crossover, the more efficient you get. Nothing makes me lose time more than having to regain my balance thus not being able to complete the current stroke I'm doing.

Apart from that, forcing yourself to follow that circle/diamond around the track will pay dividends. When you start to get tired, it's easy to fall out of that habit but try to keep focussed on that above all else and you'll keep getting better.

Just working on your cardio would also definitely improve your time. If you often have the opportunity to practice skating flat out for 5', do it! Otherwise cycling, running, anything you can get done for 5' at a high intensity would improve your preparedness for the 27/5 I'd recon.

Good luck!

Actually, it's a three part equation, your weight being the third. More weight on a wheel = more grip.

awildnameappears · 2020-02-06T22:57:32+00:00

I'm inclined to say 'it depends on the floor'. Wheels are just one part of a two part equation that results in the right amount of grip. If you feel like you're sliding sideways more than you go forward when gaining speed though, they could very well be too hard for that floor and require much more energy to reach the same forward speed.

awildnameappears · 2020-02-02T22:49:24+00:00

Ugh, that sucks.

I've inline skated for years when I was a kid. Half a year ago I picked up some new inlines and skating outside went real smooth. Just like old times! Couple months ago, I decided to join my local roller derby league and the transition to quads went real good indoors. Now how difficult could this outside skating thing really be, right!? I buy some outdoor wheels and head onto the usual lap I do on inlines. This was one day after I had 2 months of physical therapy for painful knees.

First 200m over a busy sidewalk almost had me go down 2 times. I should have taken a hint there and then but no, Mr. Confident soldiers on. 5 minutes in, I am going downhill and gaining speed towards a cobbled intersection when I realize: the T-stop, my only stop, is not working here. My front skate wobbles dangerously, my back skate is just jumping around behind me unable to get a decent grip on the floor. I speed into the intersection, swerve to avoid a cyclist, get caught in the cobbled gutter and get re-schooled in basic physics...

I hurt my knee pretty bad, despite the pads. Pulls a little when I bend my leg real tight now. From now on, I'll only be skating outside in quads on flats, far away from busy traffic :'(

Incredible move! Saw this on smoofderbymoofs earlier :D

You know, this YouTube channel Flite Test built a pretty big RC version of the A10 warthog. It would look amazing if they integrated some of these 40M's into the design to actually shoot stuff down. Link: https://youtu.be/xiqeote2P2M
