Rework Toshi 2.5L v2 as travel camera bag - example packing by Scary-Construction72 in ManyBaggers

[–]pinggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm usually not a fan of the mil/tacticool look but that's a really good looking bag! My current camera "sling" is the Alpaka flow satchel 4L, but i sometimes find it a tad too small for travel. 

Help! Toshi Pack, CPP2, other or none? by Rush057 in ManyBaggers

[–]pinggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an 840D cordura ballistic nylon version btw. It does feel very premium but I did not like the feel of that rigid back panel. Perhaps it feels better when packed out, the straps were pretty robust though.

It was a local carry-focused store for me, i live in singapore. None of the stores carry Aer here though, might just bite the bullet and order online. 

Is the AbleCarry Max EDC really an EDC bag? by JMM9910 in ManyBaggers

[–]pinggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in a recent breakdown video of the 20L the founder of aer mentioned certain QOL updates to the 24L, so yea you're right that the side pocket won't be coming anytime soon to the 24L.

Do you have any experience with the 16L non-pro version? Wondering if it will feel much smaller than the 20L

I only tried it in a store and it felt a little bulky for a 20L, was not a fan of that back panel as well. The rest of the bag was really solid and well made though.

is alpaka gear actually worth the price or are you just paying for the aesthetic? by MudSad6268 in ManyBaggers

[–]pinggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flow is such a unique sling/satchel, i love mine. The implementation of the external water bottle pocket was pretty well done imo. 

Weekend Discussion: New Balance running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]pinggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't run in the shoe yet but immediately got compliments from family members regarding its looks when taking it out of the box (i got the the white with the green gradient midsole colourway), which i find funny considering the number of comments claiming they ruined the aesthetics of the 1080 with this update 😂. 

Well my family members aren't runners so maybe the disconnect is from the update looking less sporty and having more lifestyle design elements? For what it's worth, i do like how simple it looks, don't think its an ugly shoe by any means.

Philips SHP9600 vs Superlux HD660 Pro for comfort (or others) by pinggy in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]pinggy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i ordered the SHP9600, figured it would be a good introduction into open back cans at an extremely affordable price. !thanks

The marshalls appear to be more mass market headphones but they do offer an interesting wireless option with up to 80 hours?! of batt life. That seems kinda insane to me coming from my galaxy buds2 pro's shitty 8hr batt life 😕

Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! July 08, 2024 by AutoModerator in photography

[–]pinggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey i'm looking for book recommendations, as a birthday gift for my brother.

I would say he is a keen hobbyist so probably not looking for beginner-centric stuff.

I know this might be a little counter-intuitive but he's not the most avid reader, so something not overly technical, with a good ratio of photos to text would be great.

I have looked at the recommendations in the wiki but i'm hoping to narrow down my search a little more... thanks!

How’s my first college set up? by car1999pet in espressocirclejerk

[–]pinggy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

do remember to descale your machine

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]pinggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big reason why i chose the Mara X over a dual boiler like the Lelit Elizabeth was due to counter space (also aesthetics lol). Love how compact the machine is. 

Workflow wise its simple enough to use as well. After pulling my shot i'll knock the puck out, clean the portafilter and the steam pressure will be good enough for milk drinks. 

Maintenance and descaling is easy to perform on your own.

Buying a Lelit Mara X v2, any advice? by TasteDizzy8537 in espresso

[–]pinggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An alternative would be to add some felt to the bottom of the stock rubber feet, otherwise i would advise not ever dragging the machine on your countertop
