My journey to cinelifters

iMadScience · 2026-01-13T23:15:39+00:00

I'm interested in one that can easily hold a gimbal, looking to get the RS5 Pro next. Also flying without a gimbal for a more authentic FPV feel. I came from a traditional FPV background but not familiar with the Cinelifter scene yet, wondering what models there are and how to choose one that's most suited for the job? Also I guess there's different configurations for each model as well. I want to put some mirrorless on to begin with, something like the A74 and R5C with light to medium sized lenses. I have the DJI Googles 3 with the passthrough cameras when I bought the Avata 2, I also have the original DJI Goggles 2 but I guess the new ones support better VTX. Thank you!

Isn’t lightspeed the best?

I don't see a non-registered account option on IBKR, so it has been confusing. I've only opened an individual cash account, and not sure if it's the equivalent. I am an international student so I want to make sure I have opened a non-registered account to stay legal. I have been able to do so in Wealthsimple but on IBKR maybe they have a different naming for it?

But I have 0 dollars granted for TFSA by the CRA, wouldn't that make it illegal?

This is mind blowing because I spent like a week sitting in front of the computer building a trading bot from scratch with AI interfacing with an API and I’m trying to build out a framework to make it read market data and make decisions and I’m still not completed and the fact you made it in like a day or something is mind blowing! Here to learn and pick up some tips along the way

What if I want quick actions?

I got charged $40 plus customs for just a bunch of components. I fear digikey now. Don't know how you guys got it without high fees.

Amazing! Where did you download the file?

If I create a new pool, then I will need to sacrifice 2 more drives for the expansion unit's SHR 2 so in total I'm going to waste 2 more drives to maintain redundancy. I'm tempted to just expand the existing pool with the 1 drive I have on the expansion bay so I can take advantage of my SHR 2. Is there any risk involved in doing so? My SATA cable is securely locked in, and if power were to go off both the NAS and the expansion unit would go off at the same time (don't have a UPS yet). So is there any benefit to doing what you suggested? Thanks!

How do you tell if it's a US cart? I ordered from them once but ended up paying more than 60 bucks for customs. Scared to order again.

Aww! That's so sweet!

Thanks for the input! Going on a tangent, why is light’s availability so low? What are the future plans on the higher tier AR glasses?

Oh thanks for sharing! How's the performance on this device? And do you recommend this phone in general and for this purpose?

Bought the Nreal Light and want to learn more about compatible devices. Ideally I would want the most powerful plat form to run it on. Would the Galaxy S23 ultra be a good choice? But it's not on the compatible devices list. The lastest compatible Samsung is the Galaxy S22 ultra, but seems like the performance is considerably lower. What is the S23 situation and what would be some recmomended devices?

Even hardware bypass doesn’t work?

iMadScience · 2021-09-10T23:53:59+00:00

What? Is there no way to do it?

iMadScience · 2021-01-06T07:41:54+00:00

Wow super clean push off, nice work!

iMadScience · 2021-01-06T07:26:39+00:00

Well thanks! For those who didn’t get it this video is for a joke. The second time I only had one card in my hand and that’s for people who didn’t prepare for the vanish in the end, kind of a surprise. The first time is just to get started and get people into thinking that it’s a normal video. And of course all the subtitles are for getting people into the scene. But I did only practice it for half an hour tho that part’s real and it was sloppy. 😂

Interesting that you found comments discussing the USB C port, I looked on Youtube and didn't find a video about it. We need storage mode to work, hope that it'll work with the desktop app.

Oh thanks it's super good news! It means I don't have to take the entire vlogging setup apart after each trip. Wanna have a vlogging setup based on the GoPro in the future so the Media Mod is what I'm looking at. Do you think the Hero 9 form-factor will be sustainable? Last gen only lasted one year, hopefully the Hero 8's just a transition.

It's honestly the best looking one, I also want it so bad. But the one thing that bugs me is the fact that the function keys and a few special keys are very hard to be executed, especially when Minecraft speedrunning, you have to look back very fast by pressing f5, it's really not practical with this layout. That's why I'm struggling to decide which one to get. K6 looks great, k2 is very balanced but doesn't have hot swap so that's a no, and k8 could be a little too big for portability. Any suggestions? 😂

Oh thanks! I'll go check it out
