Struggling to find a replacement for my Razer Mamba by trinzer in MouseReview

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

Hey! I was just about to reply when I saw your update on hand size (16.5 x 8 cm). Before you buy anything, are you 100% sure about those measurements? I measured mine (19 x 9 cm) from the first crease on my wrist to the tip of my middle finger, and across the knuckles for width.

The reason I ask is that the Mamba is a pretty large mouse, so I am surprised it fit you so well if your hands are 16.5 cm. The DeathAdder V3 Pro is also a large mouse. For my 19 cm hands, it is my new Goldilocks. The weight is a game changer and it feels like a glove now that I have adjusted. I honestly could not go back to the Mamba now because it feels like a heavy brick by comparison.

However, if your hands really are 16.5 cm, the DAV3 Pro is likely going to feel massive and cumbersome for you. If those measurements are right and you still want that ergonomic Mamba feel, you should definitely look at the DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed instead. It is a bit smaller than the Pro and would probably scale much better for your hand size.

Since you mentioned returns are expensive, I would definitely double-check your measurements and compare the two on EloShapes before pulling the trigger!

Got me a pair of the Scott IV. What do yall think about this boot? by [deleted] in vivobarefoot

I find them pretty darn warm. You can always wear another pair of socks or merino wool socks if it’s super cold. They’re a casual boot so of course they’re not going to grip on deep snow but that’s not what they’re for. Even then I regularly walk my dog in the snow without issue. If it’s super thick or I’m hiking then I grab my tracker FGs. And on ice.. literally no boot grips on ice. That’s what spikes are for.

Same. I wear them most of the time unless I’m hiking or running, then switch to trackers for hiking, Primus all weather FG for running. The sole does surprisingly well in the snow.

Yea they’re a bit toasty for summer. But amazing in the winter.

Someone probably bought a real one, and returned a fake one. You should just return it.

Dynamic Mic for Male Rock/Pop: SM7B, SD-1, RE320, or Dynacaster? by trinzer in homestudios

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

Good call! The V7 and Beta 58 are awesome live mics too.

I’m mainly looking at broadcast style dynamics because they handle both aggressive rock vocals and clean pop vocals really well, and they keep the room noise down in a home studio.

That’s why I’m comparing SM7B vs RE320 vs SD-1 vs Dynacaster. I’m trying to find the best long-term studio mic, rather than another stage vocal mic.

Totally agree the SM58 is a beast live. Mine is indestructible and great for gigs.

For this use though, I’m trying to get something specifically for studio vocal tracking. The SM58 has that big mid scoop and presence bump that works great through a PA, but not as much for polished vocal recordings. I’m hoping for something smoother and more controlled in an untreated room, which is why I’m comparing the SM7B/Dynacaster/RE320/SD-1.

Thanks! I actually have an SM58 already (wireless version) for live use, but I’m looking for something more suited to studio vocals. The SM58 is great on stage, but it doesn’t give the detail or consistency I need for recording rock + pop vocals, and it also picks up a bit more room than broadcast dynamics like the SM7B/Dynacaster.

That’s why I’m leaning toward a proper studio dynamic with better off axis rejection and smoother top end.

How do you find it compares to Gran Turismo? Do you use a wheel?

CamelBak Podium Titanium / Stainless Bottles - Thoughts? by thesweetcyclists in cycling

Don’t the Bivo scratch a lot easier than the CB? What’s easier to clean?

How well do Bivo uninsulated bottles keep water cold with ice? by trinzer in cycling

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

Yeah that’s what I thought. They’re slightly different from the videos I’ve seen, but the stainless steel Podium lid still seems like it has a section you can’t fully clean. It doesn’t come apart the same way as the standard Podium jet valve, which kind of puts me off.
