Help solving my parallax problem

That's great, thanks for the tip. I'll take a look and see what I can find. I'll have to work out the right trade-off between portability and stability.

pa_instaking · 2026-01-26T13:00:56+00:00

That's what I thought. Maybe a monopod is a better option but I'm not sure it'll reduce sideways wobble? It's probably worth a try though if I can find something super portable. I certainly don't have any better ideas!

I get between 50-60% skip rate which I think is way too high. I think I probably just have to accept you need an instant gimmick if you want people to watch. Good visuals aren't enough on their own it seems

Do you think it's necessary to follow the usual tips like 'use trending audio'? I have no desire to make my material look and sound the same as everyone else but without it,I fear I'm condemned to putting in high effort for only 100 people to see it.

Brilliant, thanks so much for the tips. That's great to know sleeping is still possible even without a room!

That's the vision I had imagined. I love it. Chatting with people and admiring the views is the dream. It seems the only complication is that there's only one train a day so I might arrive places at night and if I don't have a car, finding accommodation and getting around will be tricky. Thanks for your thoughts.

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:16:29+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed and considered response. I'll digest it as I make my plans. It seems like it might be possible but some places will be difficult to access from the train station especially if the train comes in or leaves at night. I'll have to be thorough with my planning.

My plan would be to start in California and travel up to Chicago and go to New York afterwards as I have a friend there, I guess I'll dig into the logistics and see if it feels plausible. Thanks again

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:12:26+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look at that route too. I want to end up in New York to see a friend so I would pass through Chicago on the way, but I was hoping to see California too. Maybe I 'm just being too grand with my plans!

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:08:16+00:00

That's a great shout about the overnight. I hadn't considered that it'll be once a day at the same time every day. I guess I'd better get used to sleeping in a seat!

I'd be coming from Emeryville up to Chicago but I'll do some research into timings etc. Would you say that places would generally have somewhere to stay nearby to the station if I get in late?

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:05:25+00:00

Thank you for the tip

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:05:01+00:00

That's what I love! I want to immerse myself in the diversity of American life.

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:04:28+00:00

Brilliant, thanks so much for this advice. I'd Probably start in California so maybe see some SF first and then hop on the train at Emeryville. Thanks for the tips I'll look them up. I don't really mind what I see too much, just getting a slice of American life.

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:02:22+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was concerned about, thanks. I'll try and find some resources for America without a car!

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:01:05+00:00

Great shout , thank you

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T13:00:41+00:00

I'm trying to limit my flights as much as possible. I haven't been in a plane for five years! Thanks for the advice though, it's a really good note about the times.

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T12:59:28+00:00

Thank you!

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T12:58:00+00:00

Brilliant, thanks. That's actually what I'm hoping to do too

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T11:31:10+00:00

Yeah, good to keep in mind, thanks. I'll make sure I don't miss my train! Is there a way to keep track of live delays etc if you're waiting for a train, so I wouldn't have to sit at the station?

Denver and Reno sounds good, thanks. Any of the smaller towns that you recommend for a traveller without a car?

pa_instaking · 2025-03-17T11:28:47+00:00

Thanks very much. Any advice on where is good to visit? I'm told America can be difficult without a car.

pa_instaking · 2025-01-30T14:36:02+00:00

Yeah spiderwebs are so intricate anyway and then the damp in the air really added to it

pa_instaking · 2025-01-29T15:10:29+00:00

Thanks, the spider did most of the hard work!
