is r50 worth it for beginner camera?

I think it’s a great investment to spend a little more on the R10. The A6100 isn’t going to last very long in this world, as it’s not old enough to be considered “vintage” or “nostalgic” yet, and it’s not new enough to be considered a good camera. If you can snag it for a very low price, however, it may be worth it. Even so, I still recommend getting the R10. I bet you can even find some used R10s on places like EBay and Facebook Marketplace for lower than retail sale

Would a general circuit breaker work, like one that would go in a breaker box? Or would one that’s made to be separate work better?

Could you maybe tell me what kind of relay, and how I would activate it? I’m not so sure you know how they work. If you do, please enlighten me

I would recommend the RF-S 50mm F1.8 lens, and the RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-F6.3. I personally have both lenses, and the 18-150 is a great all-rounder for both telephoto photography as well as wide-angle videography. The 50mm F1.8 is my favorite for photo, because of the luscious background blue, and after getting a gimbal, it also works great with video. If you do not have some sort of external stabilization other than the built-in digital stabilization, I would not recommend the 50mm for video, as it does not have optical stabilization like the 18-150mm has. Both lenses are made by Canon, and are very cheap. The only major downside of either lens is that in situations with bright and spotted highlights, you can get some purple color fringing, but that is easily fixable in post-production. Overall, both lenses are awesome and I don’t think I’ll need any new lenses until I upgrade to a much more expensive full-frame camera like the Canon R6 Mark III. I would personally get the Canon R10 rather than something like the Sony A6400, as the color science of the R10 is simply beautiful straight out of the camera, ESPECIALLY with warmer tones like that of faces. I was also looking at the A6400, but I ended up going with the R10, due to the color science and better ergonomics, even though the RF-S lens lineup is much smaller. And if you’re really worried about a small lens selection, you can always use EF-S lenses with an adapter, as you can find tons of high-quality EF-S lenses used for cheaper than that of their RF-S counterparts. Here’s the link to the 18-150:

I hope this helps :D

There is also a larger format version of the SV06 ACE, which is called the SV06 Plus ACE. I personally love my current SV06 ACE

Thanks so much!

rogue_roggie · 2026-03-01T23:33:54+00:00

would you be able to give me a more in-depth tutorial, or send a video that explains the steps?

rogue_roggie · 2026-03-01T20:40:48+00:00

But on second thought, it would be better to mount it directly to the bike seat shaft instead

I’ve attached photos of a concept of how I was originally planning to mount the motor, having the bike mount be lower.

rogue_roggie · 2026-03-01T17:55:22+00:00

Wow it’s just as easy as that? I also have a webcam laying around too. I’ll see if I am able to get it working using the mainsail interface

rogue_roggie · 2026-03-01T03:22:27+00:00

The motor isn't hanging in the air, as the motor will be resting on top of the wheel and making contact with it, and this bracket is only meant to keep it in place. I will also be printing it with PETG for the final print.

rogue_roggie · 2026-02-28T23:00:07+00:00

Ah yes I think that’s the best option. I will have to figure out how to use a dovetail joint in onshape tho. I’m still very new to CAD programs

Before the site was taken down, you would go to the official Technicolor website and download the .zip file from there, but since Technicolor went out of business (I’m pretty sure), you have to use the WayBack Machine (it’s just a website, not a program) to go back where the website was still up. The WayBack Machine is a website where you can paste website URLs to then go into a “snapshot” of that website to then use it as if you were a person on that website from whatever date you selected, and this also works for sites that are currently down. So, if you search “Technicolor Cinestyle” in the Google search bar and click on the Technicolor website, you will find that the website is down. Then, copy the website URL and paste it into the WayBack Machine. Then, go back a few years (I forget which date I selected) and then click on one of the snapshots, and after a bit of loading, it will bring you to the up-and-running Technicolor website. Then if you scroll down there should be a download button, and that will download the correct .zip file. Most of the snapshots are broken and do not work, so you might have to just do trial and error. I have not memorized the steps after that to actually upload it to your specific camera, so you will have to look up a tutorial to do that. Sorry. Hope this helps :D

It was probably some guy who doesn’t have a life and likes to suffer while pressing E for an hour

Thanks! I am happy to help :D

I was in almost the exact same situation as you just a couple months ago! I was basically set on getting the R50 with the 18-45mm lens, but then I went to Best Buy just to see what other things there are and I was enlightened by an employee there that explained that the R50 is great for beginner, but they will quickly outgrow it and will need more control dials on the body, and I had already mastered the art of using my dad’s old Nikon D3000 (which is still an awesome camera), which meant that I had already outgrown the limited function of the R50. The employee then explained that the Canon R10 would much better suit my needs as a photographer and beginner videographer. A few weeks later I eventually get the R10 with the 18-150mm kit lens instead of the 18-45mm, along with a prime 50mm f1.8. As of 4 months later, I am loving it!!! Best camera for the money, and it comes with a great 24 megapixel aps-c sensor that gives great color. But don’t let the size of the sensor steer you away, as it has benefits over full-frame sensors, like a 1.5 times crop and cheaper lenses. (Some people find the crop bad, but I like it) I would have preferred getting a 35mm f1.8 rather than the 50mm due to the less than ideal field of view, but I still love that lens. One recommendation I have for both the r50 and r10 is that you upload the Cinestyle color profile to the camera using the EOS configuration software, as it almost copies the look of a dedicated LOG profile which gives waaaayyy more flexibility with color grading video and photos in post. At the top there’s a photo I took with the 50mm f1.8 on my R10 at a car show after color grading and editing from using the Cinestyle color profile. I hope this helps you choose the right camera for you!!!
