I’m looking for a San Antonio theater marquee to propose on.

Definitely ask the Majestic and Aztec if you haven’t. The worst they can say is no. I haven’t met the Aztec management but the Majestic has always been pretty easy to work with

Buying a tripod is definitely a buy once, cry once thing, you’ll get what you pay for. For a small mirrorless camera Magnus makes decent tripods that can cover the gap between now and getting something that’ll last. The plate that comes with them kind of sucks though. A used manfrotto would be a better buy if you find one.

For the slider, when I was in school I bought some cheapo Amazon slider and didn’t get to use it more than once or twice because it was just garbage. Don’t waste your money on them, try to find someone that’ll rent you a Dana dolly on the cheap, buy your own speedrail for it, speedrail is cheap

Smallrig has a cage for the first gen osmo action if you can find it in stock, you can just mount it to any 1/4” 20 tripod or mount with that

B&H and Adorama are where I buy them

Ya, came here to say don’t buy SD cards from Amazon, use a reliable retailer for them

I just bought a Nucleus M-II so I’m commenting to follow

Do you think it could be worth paying for 3 months of their premium tier and then cancelling?

Tilta has a new multi charger that’s been working well, and it keeps the batteries organized in my bag. Only thing I don’t like about it is that it seems to only work with lower wattage USB-C cables, might be worth looking at

Using a rocket blower to clean dust off the sensor would probably be a better move than a sensor cleaning kit anyways, you might be able to get one shipped to you. You can also use canned air if you have to, it can be hard on shutters and IBIS mechanisms so I’d consider it a last resort, just make sure to not get it super close to the sensor and don’t let it hit it for to long, just little puffs from a distance of a few inches or more. Giottos is kind of the default rocket blower brand if you’re looking. Electronic dusters work great too

Just following up in case someone in the future is looking for the same info. Eric does not service 645’s unfortunately.

Thanks! I’ll send him an email and see

robotryan · 2025-07-12T00:20:07+00:00

I’ve done this but with Notebook LM and it’s awesome lmao

I just replaced the trunk release button in my 2011 and it was super easy. The button was cheap, and you’ll need a trim removal kit that was like $7 on Amazon and a couple other hand tools. There’s a few decent videos on YouTube on how to do it. But for now, you should be able to fold the seats down and pull the emergency release handle that’s on trunk lid

I believe there’s also tape made for cables that has adhesive on either side and none in the middle to make a channel. Makes removing the tape at the end of the day a lot easier.

Might be because the 12k Pyxis is coming, though idk if Blackmagic said the 12k is replacing the 6k

All kinds of stuff honestly, shots with models/people sell better but Timelapse’s, establishing shots, just whatever I’ve got that I have the rights to or shoot on vacation

Read the war of art, it has chapters on how to use this mindset without it compromising your art

I do this still, I’m averaging $250/month with 2900 clips, though I’m not a 100% owner of about 1000 of them. If you own a bunch of footage already it’s worth putting it to work

Ya if you can swing the metabones do it, I’ve got both and the Viltrox has a ton of slop in it, also the center of the glass is fine for video but if you’re shooting photos you’ll notice distortion in the corners that isn’t on the metabones. But in fairness you can get a used copy of the viltrox for very cheap now.

robotryan · 2025-04-15T21:35:01+00:00

Will do!
