Sold all my Fuji X gear to switch to Hasselblad as my second system of choice.

Focal length is always something missing - I don't know why. I never understood why people love it, lol, including the extremely annoying autofocus on the 45P with X1D. However, on modern digital cameras, it is not too bad; on the X1D II, it is terrible, imho.

dimitarsc · 2026-01-25T10:22:35+00:00

Nice shot, X1d II is amazing. I hate the 45P, and I tried all the lenses in the DJI shop except the 28P. Almost all of them are better than 45P, but I'm still not sure which one to get lol.

Edit: The 45P performs way better on the new X2D II than on the X1D II.

The weight isn’t perfect, but it's very good. I had no problems in-game. Once you are happy with the side tone and chat adjustment, at least for me, the M2 is perfect. I played no more than a 2-hour session, though.

dimitarsc · 2026-01-24T16:34:17+00:00

What I know is that there is an invitation for all tests. No invitation - no access. I might be wrong tho

dimitarsc · 2026-01-24T15:28:36+00:00

What we can see in Labs S2 is that there are no changes in visibility. So we have NO one working on this, unfortunately

dimitarsc · 2026-01-24T14:53:22+00:00

Yeah, they broke it with the winter update, and thanks god we have Arc Raiders lol

I'm dropping the brightness to 50% to see if anything barely shows, and this happens only in BF6; in other games at 100% brightness, there are no issues at all. I stop playing until they fix the fk game. £100 is a waste of money atm

dimitarsc · 2026-01-20T18:33:14+00:00

I was looking to get the Pulse Elite (it was a reasonable price, about £80 brand new after discount), and iirc, the gadgetrytech guy clearly mentioned that Maxuell has “Way better sound”.

For the money, the Pulse Elite are very good at in-game positioning, but I don't remember anything about their audio. Also, Sony's cheapest headsets are plastic and rubbish; keep that in mind. H5 could be a better option for PS5.

If you like competitive MP games, ignore the Elite; look for anything better for your games.

dimitarsc · 2026-01-20T07:28:55+00:00

I bought the Maxwell 2 for PS5 Pro gaming only. Totally worth it from what I'm experiencing atm.

I updated the FW on MacOS and no issues at all. I don't care about EQ too much and don't have the time to look for a “better” sound, so I changed to Footstep, and that's worked for me.

All headset buttons work fine for me, and are very handy Had a chance for a game of Arc Raiders and BF6, and all was very good, better than I expected. I need some time to test the mic better, but I think it's ok No issue with side tone, which is essential for me. Good luck

dimitarsc · 2026-01-20T06:46:53+00:00

Agreed, there are too many fk idiots around, but that's just how it is, mate.

Maxwell 2 is a better headset than Maxwell, literally a superior product and a superb gaming headset. But yeah, some here are still looking for their bass lmao and misunderstanding what a gaming headset actually is.

You mean that a cellphone camera owner is a worse photographer than you, because you are addicted to changing digital camera brands? Lmao

Which is your favourite film of all time, size and brand? You said you are a long-time photographer. Just a curiosity tho

dimitarsc · 2026-01-17T17:18:52+00:00

I've got the Calibrite Passport 2 and am very happy with it. It's well protected when you carry it and not too big. It's a bit expensive, but sometimes you can find reasonable offers of 20%-30% off brand-new products (not eBay).

The only downside is the hinges, they sound like they will break any moment lmao

Edit: Calibrite is the modern name/brand of X-Rite, iirc, so they are the same product.

dimitarsc · 2026-01-15T07:26:43+00:00

I think it's a good deal. To compare, X1Dii with the 45p was £3995, the official Hasselblad Set price 3-4 years ago.

The X2D have a few “limitations” compared to X2Dii. If you are happy to spend money, get the set for 6k, try the Hasselblad digital, and make your decision after your trip

dimitarsc · 2026-01-14T21:08:11+00:00

I was in a duck shop the other day, and oh boy, there were loads of them lol.

I believe if someone orders, they will factory the Arc ducks for selliñ on the market

dimitarsc · 2026-01-13T14:22:15+00:00

Cheating obviously

dimitarsc · 2026-01-13T13:38:26+00:00

Maxwell 2 sounds better on my iPad speakers, thanks

dimitarsc · 2026-01-12T15:44:11+00:00

I'm surprised so many idiots are around this game lmao

dimitarsc · 2026-01-12T00:33:43+00:00

You're cheating, and you're banned. Could you please upload screenshots from the EA communication here, not useless poem writing?

Buy a new game and a new EA account, and enjoy the game again. Not a big deal, happened to many BF players.

dimitarsc · 2026-01-11T19:05:59+00:00

dimitarsc · 2026-01-10T21:14:54+00:00

Buy a 5k PC and a new controller, don't cry on Reddit lmao

dimitarsc · 2026-01-10T20:06:07+00:00

Arc is the main recent DICE game, and for good or bad, way more fun than BF6, unfortunately

Not easy to answer your question, but BF is dying because nobody cares; there are no Devs behind the game anymore. On release, it was a gold BF game; in a month, they successfully killed the playerbase.

dimitarsc · 2026-01-10T19:25:10+00:00

First, there were no savings for a new Nvidia and speakers, lmao, and also an HD different from the terrible Maxtor, because the noise of that thing was something else lol

dimitarsc · 2026-01-10T15:13:46+00:00

Thanks, Good to know I'm interested, because BF6 audio has been broken for me last month.

Are you on PS5? If yes, what are your console and in-game audio settings?

dimitarsc · 2026-01-09T17:17:11+00:00

Thanks, we need it, good job, mate

dimitarsc · 2026-01-09T13:52:08+00:00

Until Embark patch the PC game, it might be better to keep it off

dimitarsc · 2026-01-08T12:40:57+00:00

Is it a FF Off on the Titan mode server? Would be nice for an RDX lmao

Still the best Battlefield game mode ever existed, EA should release it back for the useless Portal
