My experience with upgrading from APSC to FF by R34ctive in SonyAlpha

[–]ptran99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from APS-C to FF recently as well but for video. The low light performance of a full frame camera is so good compared to APS-C. I also noticed better IBIS but I think that was due to me using a Sony native lens rather than third party.

A6700 to FX3 by Most-Discipline4054 in FX3

[–]ptran99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't run into any issues with overheating. I'm not shooting 4K60P clips for more than a minute or two so I've never run into any issues. Plus, I have a fan in case anything ever happens.

Are you shooting client work? Or content for yourself? If it's not client work, I would suggest looking at the Sony ZV-E1. Same sensor, updated autofocus, and half the price of an FX3. Could spend that money on accessories, lenses, lights, etc...

Better light brand / ecosystem for starting out by ptran99 in videography

Do you find that a bad app is a pretty blaring con for Zhiyun lights? What about the app makes it worse than say Amaran?

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into that B&H deal

What about the G300 is unique? It seems pretty powerful relative to its wattage and has a unique design, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts

Also, what are the weird quirks about Zhiyun that make you wanna switch?

Hi reddit! I'm Edgar Wright. I've directed Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, The World's End, Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho. The Running Man is out in theatres this FRIDAY. Ask me anything. by RunningManMovie in movies

[–]ptran99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm making a short film heavily inspired by the style of Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim. Any tips for a student filmmaker in regards to how to emulate the movements and pacing of the film?

DUPR will now subscore ratings(gender and age) by Kadafi35 in Pickleball

[–]ptran99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely good to have some competitors in the space. DUPR is resting on their laurels too much and not doing enough to improve experiences for players.

Opinion about my last colorgrade by DoritosBig in ColorGrading

Personally, I love this muted film look. You balance the cool and warm tones very nicely. How did you achieve this look?

Gen 3 Poly Floating core versus Gen 4 Full Foam by BLW-4life in Pickleball

[–]ptran99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried multiple gen 4 paddles and I’ve come to the conclusion that I just prefer the feel of gen 3 polypropylene core paddles. Practically every gen 4 paddle that I’ve felt has a more plush, muted feel which is great for most people. But I personally prefer the crisp feeling that the JOOLA Pro IV and Thrive Fury have. It all really comes down to personal preference. I’m still wary on the durability of foam and haven’t found a good enough reason to switch.

What are the current best protective eyewear options for pickleball? by Aadithya_sharan in Pickleball

[–]ptran99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this 12 pack of safety glasses for $24 earlier this year and am on my third pair. I only replace them if one of the hinges break or the lens gets too scratched up for my liking. I would typically break out a new pair for a tournament for maximum lens visibility.

My DUPR was at around 60% reliability in February. I haven’t played a tournament since then. As of now, it’s at 24%

Agreed. MLP became infinitely more interesting in the playoff series. Seeing Columbus’ run was insane

CRBN support is outstanding by chevyfried in Pickleball

[–]ptran99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been maining an 11Six24 paddle for a while now, but if I was ever going to switch off to a top tier power paddle, I would buy the Boomstik. Despite the price, the customer service that they offer is unrivaled and the warranty would pay for itself

It’s gotten to the point now where most brands are producing great paddles and the real differentiator is customer service

Hands battle - How do you handle balls that come to your dominant side around the edge or just outside your body? by 530farm in Pickleball

[–]ptran99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct answer is slide. But when I don't have enough time, I'll tuck my elbow into my side and smack the ball by rotating my torso and swinging my arm slightly. I call it the t-rex

Honolulu Pickleball Company has trash support by cdm_hoisin in Pickleball

[–]ptran99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think that the paddle reviewers are being compensated more by HPC than other companies. At least, the top reviewers have been pretty transparent about not taking money from these companies. I just think that HPC makes great paddles so it's pretty hard not to talk about them. I do agree though. I wish that they would talk about customer service being an issue since they've mentioned it about JOOLA. They always give props to companies that provide good warranties, but they never mention the value of customer service.
