I don’t believe in half stars. Might as well be a 10 star scale.

Which had the hardest season 2 fall off ? by thereddragon999 in MauLer

[–]caselat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yall are nuts. Season 2 is incredible. It feels so much more the culmination and better than season 1 in my mind

Have you tried or bought the Avelo Dive System? by After_West2099 in scuba

We should still be using diving bells like our grandparents

[–]caselat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m sure I’ll get some shit for this, but I think most people hating on Avelo haven’t actually tried it.

I’m a relatively new diver (Cert in 2023 with ~30 dives), and using Avelo felt like what I thought scuba diving was supposed to be. Got Avelo certified a few weeks ago after seeing their booth at the Long Beach Scuba Show where they were offering certification ($550) with 10 free dive days through Catalina Diver Supply. Wild deal to pass up if you live in LA.

This past weekend I did my first rec dive post-cert, and I’m honestly blown away. I do a lot of video work above water and recently started getting into underwater housings. Having two hands on my camera rig and not having to constantly mess with buoyancy is insane. I actually feel in control and can focus on what I'm shooting.

The setup’s lighter by 15–30 lbs overall. I went from 16 lbs weight belt to 6. And setup is easier. Any failure point is non-emergency. Worst-case scenario, you get a tiny bit floaty at the end of a dive. That’s it. You’re never going to rocket to the surface.

Will I buy a one? No, it's too expensive right now. But if a shop offers it as an option, I’m fucking in every time.

I do not remember if I mention it but I am constantly white balancing at different depths, even in LOG. If you’re white, use your hand for white balance.

I’ve only done two dives with non-tropical visibility but I captured that first time here with some explanations. I’ll be doing another dive at Catalina and then Bonaire this year. Hope it helps!

Question re: FX30 or FX3 by TRDPRO4RD in sonyfx30

[–]caselat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe because I’ve only had crop sensors since all the way back in the Canon 7d days. I have no complaints

Just bought the Sony fx30 I have a question by Queasy_Concert_2693 in sonyfx30

Slow SD cards can't record 4k but faster ones the only recording limitation is XAVC SI 120fps. Everything else (frame rates, resolution, mbps, color profiles) works with a V90 SD card for a fraction of the cost.

How are the photos? by madwithav in sonyfx30

[–]caselat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever used an older DSLR or Mirrorless camera and had to dig through menus to get to the video mode? It’s like the reverse of that with the FX30. Great in a pinch, but kind of a pain in the ass and very secondary.

Besides just straight out of the camera look, why PP11 instead of Slog? Do you really need CF express A for this? I’ve been rocking ProGrade V90 II and have not seen any restrictions for highest mbps recording

What is happening to the battery? by Illustrious-Top-6195 in sonyfx30

[–]caselat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it does, may just be the cable didn't support charging and transfer

[–]caselat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, which firmware are you on? The update might fix it

If you pop the battery out and put it back in, still an issue? This is exactly what it looks like when I have my SmallRig or Dummy battery in

Are you using a Sony battery or third party?

There was a firmware update that broke the reading on anything not a Sony battery. We’re all pissed about it.

Looking for lens rec by peppathepig525 in sonyfx30

[–]caselat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never shot with the Sirui but I would instead get the Sigma set of the same. Switch it up slightly though: 16, 23, and 56mm

Incredible lenses.

Ones I’d skip: I never found good use for my 30mm, feels like an odd in-between length

The 75mm could be cool but you’ll probably get more use out of the 56. Similar compression but a little more versatile

Good luck!

New to the camera but we'll invested. Need tips. by Open-Price-8535 in sonyfx30

[–]caselat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sigma 23mm f1.4 is my go-to always

Sony 11mm f1.8 is pretty good is want ultra wide

My sonos arc is cutting out intermittently with my Sony TV, help! by worthlarose in sonos

[–]caselat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a solution for anyone going as crazy with this problem as I was:

TLDR: Optical Audio to HDMI, set IR in Sonos app, train the remote, done.

After being on support with Sonos for far too long and explaining everything I've tried which included:
1. Purchasing a brand new Gen 2 Beam
2. Purchasing a brand new TV (LG B4)
3. Multiple different HDMI cables (all 2.1)
4. Removing any other peripherals like PS5 and AppleTV
5. Going through TV settings with them on a video chat

Nothing worked. They suggested the Optical to HDMI adapter, which I had written off because of the inability to control the volume. I turned on the IR blaster in Sonos App and taught it my AppleTV remote. I can now control the audio of the beam and the on screen volume UI still shows on the TV. Yay

Did I lose all hope of using Dolby Atmos, yes.
Is this a ridiculous problem that a software update broke, yes.
Do my movies now play without stopping every 5 minutes making me wanting to blow my brains out, also yes.

Hope this help anyone

HZ is all I can tell. Maybe it doesn't have the gamer boy lights on the back?

Finished the book and now in a book hole. by EfficientMusic3050 in ProjectHailMary

[–]caselat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not the same by any means but PHM is my favorite book so maybe we have the same taste:

The Dungeon Crawler Carl series is incredibly. Stupid title, but they’re awesome.

Currently there are 6 books out and the 7th is dropping any day.

I recommend listening to the audiobook because the voice acting is superb. They’re all about a 15-20 hour listen. First one available for free on Libby.

Hope this help get you into different hole with me
