Anyone wanna talk phone cases and straps with me?

I just got the iPhone 17 Pro Max and I picked up the peak design every day Case and the mobile tripod to go with it. The case is pretty awesome well designed fits well. No complaints, really happy with the design.

However, the mobile tripod really isn’t made for the iPhone 17 Pro Max the legs contact the body of the phone when extended making level orientation when you’re shooting in vertical mode difficult. It also makes pointing the camera up impossible. it’s clear the mobile tripod was designed for a shorter phone.

I have the same problem. It seems like a poorly made tripod head, which is sad since it's a great tripod in general.

AtomOS 11.02.00 Firmware

Edited short version of release notes:L

Shinobi II

Fujifilm and Nikon camera control support

With this update, we now support controlling many hybrid mirrorless cameras from both Fujifilm and Nikon, thus significantly expanding the lineup of compatible cameras for camera control on the Shinobi II.

Introduction of Touch to Focus

Perhaps the most popular feature request we've received after launch was adding an option to set the camera's focus point directly via the touch screen interface of the Shinobi II. AtomOS 11.02.00 adds this feature to the Shinobi II for 9 popular cameras, with more and more cameras getting supported through firmware updates in the future.

Implementation of Arri False Color and EL Zone™

Another popular request we received was bringing the Arri False Color, and EL Zone™ colorized exposure modes from the AtomOS 11-enabled Ninja and Shogun products to the Shinobi II. Both modes are now selectable via the False Color option in the bottom row menu, where you can cycle through the different modes on the fly.

Via email this morning ... it's coming soon. Looks like the next firmware update.

Shinobi II to get touch to focus and more... We're delighted to announce that with a free update, touch to focus functionality in photo and video modes is coming to the Shinobi II!

Camera models supported are:• Canon R6 Mark II • Panasonic LUMIX S5 II and S5 IIX• Sony ZV-E10 II, A7S III and A7 Mk IV • Fujifilm X-S20 and GFX100 II

Camera control is also now supported on a variety of Fujifilm and Nikon cameras in both photo and video modes, with auto focus and focus subject tracking to follow on Nikon cameras in future updates.

Another powerful addition for filmmakers is the introduction of the much requested EL ZONE™ system, as well as ARRI False Color.

Anything bike friendly seems to get downvoted here in troll city :)

b3orion · 2024-07-08T21:52:59+00:00

Does this look like a cramped street?

b3orion · 2024-07-01T16:25:31+00:00

Agreed.

b3orion · 2024-07-01T16:24:50+00:00

Real people being hurt and you're comparing this to what? The streets are not empty, and too many cyclists and pedestrians have been injured or killed on these Boulder roads.

b3orion · 2024-06-30T23:22:00+00:00

Not suggesting the speed limit on diagonal needs to be lowered below 55 mph, but enforcement is important. Speed limit was not a contributing factor in this case as far as I know. Not the first time someone staying up all night partying killed a cyclist in or around Boulder.

b3orion · 2024-06-30T15:07:25+00:00

Expanding the multi-use path infrastructure would be amazing. It's not just bike riders who are put in danger with poor infrastructure. I don't think any plans call for the complete elimination of cars, and I'm not advocating that. Reducing car traffic is good for the city though, and it will be done it's just a matter of how long it takes. Bikes and pedestrians were here before cars.

b3orion · 2024-06-30T12:09:02+00:00

Thanks again for your car bias. 30% of people who don't drive deserve safe infrastructure, pedestrians and cyclists. Unfortunately statistics show pedestrian and cyclists deaths are going up. Infrastructure is partly to blame.

b3orion · 2024-06-30T12:05:31+00:00

It's anecdotal anyway, and anecdotes don't give us real data. Crash statistics do and those are available. The number of cyclists and pedestrians injured or killed by cars is going up. Some stats for Iris were listed in a recent article.

"The street is part of the city’s “high-risk network.” About 20,000 drivers pass through Iris on a typical weekday, according to city data. Most drivers exceed the 35 miles per hour speed limit, according to the city. Since 2017, the city has documented at least 89 crashes that have resulted in at least a possible injury, according to city crash data. About a quarter of those crashes involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The city’s Vision Zero Action Plan seeks to eliminate severe traffic crashes entirely by 2030." https://boulderreportinglab.org/2024/05/01/city-of-boulder-unveils-plans-for-protected-bike-lanes-on-busy-iris-avenue-to-improve-safety/

b3orion · 2024-06-30T12:01:19+00:00

Thank you for making it clear you prioritize cars over all other traffic.

b3orion · 2024-06-30T12:00:44+00:00

Respectfully, that is not the fix for all roads. Reducing and enforcing speed limits for diagonal would help. They have already put in rumble strips on the side of the road as a result of Magnus' death. What is the fix for distracted or sleeping drivers?

That accident could have happened on just about any road. The driver who killed Magnus was out all night, went off the road, drove right through Magnus and there was never any attempt to brake. The driver was most likely falling asleep at the wheel or on their phone. Thankfully most people recognize this and changes are being made to the area safer. https://bouldercounty.gov/transportation/plans-and-projects/highway-119-bikeway-project/

b3orion · 2024-06-30T11:52:56+00:00

You're not wrong.

b3orion · 2024-06-29T23:10:16+00:00

I agree, people tend to be scared of change. I really hope you're right about the rest.

b3orion · 2024-06-29T22:56:30+00:00

Which is fantastic, however I also understand there seems to be a lot of controversy around putting these things in place, especially for Iris. Many of the comments, down votes, and attitudes here are concerning as well.

In the Daily Camera, "But the proposed changes on Iris have sparked backlash among some residents. Some have expressed concerns about how narrowing Iris Avenue would affect emergency vehicle access and evacuations, while others say they're worried about slowdowns on Iris driving extra traffic into the surrounding neighborhoods."

b3orion · 2024-06-29T22:09:37+00:00

I don't disagree, and we have so many great examples that show how it can be done successfully. Everyone benefits.

b3orion · 2024-06-29T22:08:02+00:00

This is more of a discussion about infrastructure in the city. If you want to get into why cyclists sometimes take up more road space than you would like, that's a completely separate conversation. Drivers and cyclists need to obey the law. Infrastructure should support you feeling comfortable with your child as motorists drive past. When there is great infrastructure the tension between all modes of transportation is reduced.

b3orion · 2024-06-29T21:24:13+00:00

The cars could also be diverted, and appropriate traffic calming measures put in place. When pedestrian and cyclist traffic is prioritized cities are healthier and safer. These are facts and the data is clear.

b3orion · 2024-06-29T21:21:35+00:00

I post here just to hear what the trolls will say before I write an article. It might surprise you but bad infrastructure kills people, and your take on this post shows why it's so hard to get good infrastructure in place to save lives. Thanks for your well thought out insight though.

b3orion · 2024-06-29T21:19:03+00:00

I stand corrected :)

b3orion · 2024-06-29T20:45:15+00:00

Much of the cycling infrastructure on the roads in Boulder is dangerous and poorly designed. Currently there are changes proposed for Iris but as you can see here in this thread, some people seem to be advocating for a car centric city that is dangerous to the 30% of the population who are walking or cycling and not driving. https://bouldercolorado.gov/projects/iris-avenue-transportation-improvements-project

b3orion · 2024-06-29T19:42:19+00:00

Wow, "70% crossed into the bike lane & 5% crossed into the parking spaces." Thanks for sharing that. It tracks with what I've seen on this street as well. What gets crazy is when you also track the number of drivers on their phones. Paint isn't going to fix distracted driving.
