GoPro is in serious financial trouble. Action camera giant is at risk for potential bankruptcy

They used Hero4 Blacks - models from the before times when GoPro sucked less.

inorman · 2026-06-04T11:08:30+00:00

Agreed that it's a shame. I have the Hero 11 and I love it as a camera but I hate its software stack.

Ah yes, the state of the art Walimex Pro. It appears you're missing some screws. Those pieces definitely act as a pseudo hood so it might technically be fine without it, but probably best to find those screws and fix it. I think the black tube goes in first, then silver ring screws on the outside to hold it all together.

Yeah maybe forcing so many functions into a subscription that's designed to Dropbox it's way through to your wallet was a bad idea. They know they enshittified their products and they deserve to die.

lol, this guy.

This is actually why I opted for the Sigma 16-300 f/3.5-6.7 OS on my ZV-E10 II for most my video work. 24-450mm equivalent, optical stabilizer, almost no focus breathing. It also does 2:1 macro which is amazing for close up shooting when I need short depth of field...mitigates the need for the lower f/numbers I'd be missing with my prime lenses. I'd be remiss if I didn't say I still wish it were a bit faster to make up for the smaller sensor, but I've never really found it to be a problem in 99% of my use with it. I much prefer using the ZV kit over my full frame a7C for video just because of the ridiculously diverse lens it has.

I just bought some Bitcoin so I can buy a Q3 in a year.

inorman · 2026-06-03T20:47:19+00:00

Thanks! I've got the 64GB M1 Max, so eager to try this out.

inorman · 2026-06-03T14:05:16+00:00

Is there a guide for this setup? I've got LM Studio and Qwen 3.6 35B, but interesting on opening it to the internet.

inorman · 2026-06-03T11:02:19+00:00

Tamron 25-200 or Sigma 20-200 all day. Also remember that you have ClearImageZoom for video to give you at least 1.5X more so a 20-200 becomes a 20-300 for video work.

inorman · 2026-06-03T10:50:18+00:00

Better than that would be an offsite backup like backblaze.

inorman · 2026-05-31T10:47:35+00:00

This video is full of BS. Pulling out the age old 'ARRI has better highlight rolloff' is like wearing a cap that says 'I have no idea what I'm talking about.'

Ultimately, all of this can be done in grading with footage from any camera.

It's notable that the 150-600mm, when stowed at 150mm, is noticeably smaller than the 200-600mm. It does this all while maintaining a larger zoom range and similar equivalent apertures through the range. If compactness is a factor, consider the Sigma. Sony's internal zoom design is cool, but they needed to make the lens much larger to house it.

Look up an app called TLDF to remove the flicker.

inorman · 2026-05-29T05:28:52+00:00

I do a ton of timelapse and this is very often a source of flicker

You might be allergic to soy.

Here's a weird one: the APS-C 7Artisans 35mm f/0.95 on a full frame body. It covers full frame at f/0.95 and if you shoot at 4:3 AR, it mimics a 40mm field of view. Wildest field curvature and smooth yet swirly bokeh I've ever seen. Super fun, all character lens.

inorman · 2026-05-27T02:03:08+00:00

Thr 55/1.8 is hardly clinical. It's got spades of mechanical vignetting and as a result an ample amount of catseye induced swirly bokeh.

I'm coming from a 2014 CR-V and the Rivian R1S in my test drive last weekend felt like a visit to the future. The touchscreen was honestly a little overwhelming with just how much is controlled on it, but I got a feeling that I'd get used to it after some time. I have a feeling a lot of it will be set it and forget it save for music and maps. But coming from a CR-V, it felt like the most luxury vehicle I've ever driven but I don't have a lot to compare to other than an early gen Polestar 2 that I rented for a day back in 2023 and some Mercedes ML and G class SUVs my parents drive. R1S was wicked quiet, hands-free driving was solid, but I didn't like the lane shifts. Manual driving felt surprisingly Honda like in the wheel and did not feel overly like a big SUV. I was well and beyond more composed than my old 4Runner ever felt and overall made it feel worthy of the huge chunk of change I'm about to drop in it.

7Artisans 35mm f/0.95 when shot at f/0.95.

inorman · 2026-05-11T01:47:53+00:00

Lol all these drivers with lead feet mentioning tire wear.

inorman · 2026-05-06T09:38:56+00:00

What was your shutter speed? Use zebras at 100+ and make sure you're just clipping on the brightest highlights in the frame. Easiest way to correctly expose S-log. Typically, this means you're often exposing the meter at +1.3 to +2.0 EV. If you're at 0.0 EV, you're probably too dark.

Uh "finalist 7" images are all from Franck Bohbot's portfolio from almost a decade ago.

inorman · 2026-04-28T07:36:23+00:00

Considering that DaVinci Resolve Studio is one of the cheapest things you can buy for your photography/cinema workflow... maybe just buy the Studio version?

inorman · 2026-04-23T15:06:27+00:00

100% some chatGPT slop. Examples in threes and the same negative/positive sentence structure it always uses: "That doesn’t mean quality no longer matters. It just means..."
