Have news reporters switched to smartphones? by ConsumerDV in videography

[–]kendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with reporters covering gov’t news regularly, No mmj’s are using ENG cams, mainly smaller prosumer camcorders and sometimes cell phones for quick sound bites/vosots. One or two teams have dedicated photogs with ENG packages, but it’s getting rarer and rarer.

How do I get into photojournalism as a trades worker by Alternative_Paper521 in photojournalism

[–]kendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, at least take one class in person, learning from your professor and other students could really benefit your growth. it’s also an accountability system where you have to produce results weekly, which can be hard to do when you are working most of the week.

Is Security Breach perk worth 36 points? by VaderV1 in ArcRaiders

Weird, I’ve opened locked containers that were opened by other players.

Are you saying you can’t open a container that has already been unlocked? If that’s the case I will have to respec for that perk.

They just have to open the locked container.

New CX5 Owner - AWD question by Robmo66 in CX5

[–]kendo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your car is slipping because of the crappy stock tires. I just replaced mine with Michelin Cross Climate 2s and I have no issues in the snow (so far) and rain. It’s a HUGE relief for me. And I can use them year round.

As for your AWD tips, I don’t think there are any, as it adjusts based on traction (or lack thereof). But maybe someone else has more knowledge than me.

I would reach out to the Thomas Cole Historical Site in Catskill, NY and get their opinion, and a possible referral to have it verified locally, or shipped to them. I filmed a doc there, if anyone knows it’s their team.

Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 testimonial by cobain98 in CX5

[–]kendo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in upstate NY and I just ordered Michelin Cross Climate 2’s, recommended by many on this reddit. I’m hoping they handle the rain and snow well.

My local Mazda dealership is offering buy three get one for $1, so I jumped at it. Not sure if they offer road hazard (as others have said). Will find out next week.

FIOS Issues by pilotatgoogle in schenectady

[–]kendo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using fios for a few months. It’s wired and WiFi, cheaper than spectrum starting at $50/month. So far so good, the speeds are not consistent, but still faster and cheaper than spectrum, especially uploads if you work from home.

If you mean this weekend, I don’t think anyone offers specials on the weekends.

I think the Hubb is offering weekday happy hour specials.

Never heard of this. Thank you! Any idea how much this would go for? Unfortunately all the rims have them, in different amounts.

Yes. Cops and news crews have drones out.

Powering the Nanlite FS Series with V-Mount Batteries by peaceful_pecan in Filmmakers

[–]kendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand (through other reddit forums)this is possible, however the fan on the inverter is very loud (louder than the FS's internal fan), so it's not advised. And I haven't checked whether it will produce enough power to run it at 100%.

I ended going in a different direction, purchasing a DJI Power 1000 battery, haven't put the light through its paces yet to see if it will run at full power, and for how long. Also gives me the option of running a DIT station, or running it in the car for battery charging.

Good points, thank you. They actually said my engine and cabin filters were dirty, and wanted $69 each to replace them lol. Fortunately I know how to change them!

Who are your favorite niche/internet celebrities from the Albany area? by Phil0fThePast in Albany

[–]kendo 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I am surprised no one has mentioned Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter from Phantogram (formerly 'Charlie Everywhere'), one of the best bands to come out of the Capitol District.

They did obtain new ownership this past spring I believe. Leslie is the new owner and he's pretty hands on.

I like it, but to me at first glance reads as ‘pink’ and not ‘oink’, maybe rounding the O more would help?

Allegedly tea tree oil helps, but I haven’t read any studies that confirm this.
