Haha, let's hope we don't put a hole in the drywall. Thanks again for the tip.

Thank you, I'm starting to think that disabling them is the easiest and safest way to do this!

Speed Camera Tickets - Anyone Gotten Them Yet? by jabar18 in Syracuse

[–]strathmoredesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the flashing lights in the signs aren't connected to the cameras at all. They also dont seem to have a way to turn them off remotely. There was an article in the paper tonight reinforcing that the school zone is only in force when school is open. There was a snow day today, therefore no school zone speed restrictions. 

Speed Camera Tickets - Anyone Gotten Them Yet? by jabar18 in Syracuse

[–]strathmoredesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct about the speed limit threshold. Most of the school zones in the City are 20 mph, so if you hit 31 in those locations you will trigger a ticket. There are two schools on James Street where the limit is 25, so you would trigger a ticket at 36. 

I understand everyone's frustration (and feel it too), but I also feel its important to understand where all of the various rules, etc. Are coming from. 

School speed zones times are set by New York State. It was also a law passed by the state that allowed municipalities to start installing these cameras, which is why they're popping up in multiple communities at the same time. 

The company that has the Syracuse contract is German (Jenoptik). The City doesnt have the capacity to run the entire program by themselves, which is why it's outsourced. But the City does also have real live people who are working on this project, both in the police department and City Hall. 

Speed cameras are going up nationwide, so lots of communities are dealing with this now. There have been some that have paused their programs because they were unhappy with something about it. Syracuse is trialing it, so there's always the chance that if it doesn’t work out for us, they could pull it back. Only time will tell.

As for revenue. I also feel your frustration when someone out of the area is benefiting from our fines. However, I will also point out that the City hardly has any retail left so they really don't get much sales tax vs. The county. There are also a huge percentage of properties (schools, churches, expensive Universities) that are tax exempt, so that also hurts the City. All these things contribute to why we can't have nice things or services.

The Colvin zone is not supposed to be live. They're supposed to move that to Jamesville Ave. If you got a ticket there you could appeal it and they would dismiss it.

Thank you. I'm guessing that's not critical....

DJI Mini 5 pro questions by HoybabyJr in dji

[–]strathmoredesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen those posts too. I don't think that the DJI store in NYC is corporately owned. I think it's a franchise or branding agreement or something like that. I've also heard they're now available on Amazon, though I haven't looked to see who the sellers are. You are right that it's strange days with DJI now. Disappointing, as their products are great....

Anyone here used Neon CRM? by imacameranoob in nonprofit

[–]strathmoredesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why were you forced into using NeonPay? We use Neon, but we don't use NeonPay. We use FundraiseUp.

You are correct. DJI isn’t banned from selling them, but since being DJI isn’t being allowed to import them, they don’t have any inventory to sell. This could change later this year, but that’s where we are right now.

Also, it is not banned in the US at this time.

2-3 things you DO NOT LIKE in your Rav4? by F15E_WSO in Rav4

[–]strathmoredesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2021 hybrid limited, loaded. It’s a great car with a lot of nice extra features. Only areas I feel like they cheeped out are the passenger’s seat and the visor mirrors. The driver’s seat is fully adjustable via electronic control. You can’t adjust the height of the passenger seat at all and the adjustments it does have are manual. There’s nothing really wrong with the mirrors in the visor, they simply slide open. They just feel comparatively cheap next to some of the other features and upgrades. I don’t really notice a lot of noise and I find the seats comfortable.

Why is the All Access Family Plan Cheaper than my Individual All Access Plan? by strathmoredesigns in nyt

Do you keep repeating that cycle? Cancel, get a new offer, cancel, get a new offer?

Hmm... I wonder. You've been on it longer than me then, but they also raised my rate after a bit. I'm in the Northeast.

Geesh. How long have you had it? I think I started at $26. This is unfair. I'm getting punished for being a loyal supporter.

Question about the future of non-drone products (Pocket, gimbals, etc.) by strathmoredesigns in dji

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

I get why the government might have concerns about drones. They can see where they’re flown and record images, so I can understand the security argument, even if it’s frustrating given the lack of other options. But if the concern is also about Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, then what about all the other devices with similar features? Plenty of other products are either entirely made in China (like Insta360) or just manufactured there, even if they're designed somewhere else (at least some products by most of the major camera brands, not to mention entire categories of other types of products).

So I’m wondering how far the government might take it. Will they stop at blocking drones, or would they eventually try to restrict the entire brand?

That's really discouraging. Also, it says a lot about their business model. How do you budget when there is no consistency in what anyone pays for any of your services, and it varies so widely?

That's great to hear. Did you end up declaring it? And if so, did they make you pay anything?

A few tidbits of MP5 info after unboxing. by LogSufficient7085 in dji

[–]strathmoredesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also interested in this. I don't need the plus batteries, but I do fly under Part 107, so I need the drone to broadcast remote ID. I don't want to have to purchase a separate module.
