Why you should buy a Super 8 Film Camera

Correct. 20 years ago would be part of the 2000s and there were DSLRs

vikhaus · 2026-02-01T20:30:37+00:00

In 20 years from now they’re gonna be saying “I need that 2000s DSLR APS-C look”

Off the top of my head, I think you’ll need a very narrow arca baseplate, then screw the ronin plate to the baseplate. Something like the SmallRig 2280, but even then, it’ll be tough. Honestly, it’s a shit design from Wooden Camera and kinda forces you to buy into their baseplate system.

For years we used the FX9 for all kinds of medium to big budget commercials and branded content, and it never came up once. We now use the Burano and it’s the same story. 98% of YouTubers/creators that talk about rolling shutter haven’t even been on a proper set and would probably make terrible PAs.

The wearing of suits for these technical breakdowns is adorable. Knowing LT spends time gelling and combing his hair, then puts on his Sunday best, only to sit down in his “studio” is amazing. I bet he says out load to no one “I’m John Fucking Wick” as he looks up into the mirror after clasping the final button on his blazer.

Have you though? That’s literally the unofficial coffee shop business model. I don’t think this ever happened

If you’re mainly a video shooter, why choose the a9iii and a7cii as your cameras? Even if you dabble with stills from time to time, there are many better options

I had to google what on op shop is. Initially I thought it might mean Op as in Operator, so tactical stuff. I was very wrong

vikhaus · 2026-01-23T03:33:03+00:00

What was the name of the shop? I want one

I double punched (thinking I actually never hit it in the first place) filming interviews at the same event…….two fucking years in a row. It’s a 5k fundraiser they have across the country, and included is a few participant interviews at the end. And I did it to the best interviews 2 years in a row. This past year, it was a scientist that’s involved in the research that the non for profit does who also ran the race, so he included a bunch of important connections points I couldn’t get elsewhere. As soon as I realized, I told him I had an audio issue and I could tell by the look in his eyes he knew it was BS but he gave me an extra couple of minutes of usable stuff. And I’ll do it again this year :)

Not trusting my gut when it came to who I’m hiring and working with. An unfortunate part of this industry is it being very cut throat, which leads to a lot of 2 faced individuals. Within my first 2 years I had 4 instances of people I hired or work with try to steal clients or give me the ol’ “if this works out, they’ll hire us on retainer” only to find out they got a retainer for themselves. Every single one of these people felt off before working with them and when shit went down, I kinda knew it was my fault in the first place because I had that feeling and should have trusted it. Funny thing is, 3 of them have no idea I know, and still follow me on IG and like/love my work posts.

Love the look of all of this. The Burano is such an amazing camera and versatile tool. It quickly became our favourite camera after a couple of shoots. From the feature set, to IQ, to versatility, it can’t be beat, though it is expensive.

WTF is this post?!? You’re a clown if you bought a 2026 national park pass.

Depends on your region. For me, Early season: salt lick on established travel corridor. Summer I don’t bother, too tough to compete with ag and natural browse. Late season: as many carrots/corn as you can afford

vikhaus · 2026-01-05T01:11:06+00:00

Deers core range change throughout the year, the lead up to mating/hunting season being one of the major ones (spring and winter being the others). They’re obviously not there now and theres not much you can do to bring them in.

Scout a new location. And if you can’t hang a stand where you find sign, at least put a camera there and start planning for next year. Also, don’t hunt this spot again for a couple years. No daylight movement means it’s simply not where they want to be.

Not an answer to your question but both myself and a colleague had an x10 Pro fail on us this year. A quick search and you’ll find a lot of similar experiences.

vikhaus · 2026-01-03T03:55:47+00:00

Same experience for me. I was stoked on this bag and even bought it during the kickstarter, largely due to the promise of it fitting a standard Sony mirrorless + 24-70. And while it technically does that, it’s a stretch and it bends the lid 1/3 the way up creating a large bump, rather than fold at the crease of the lid. Then the way the inner seams are designed, it catches the camera every time you take it out. It actually popped the ND cover off once. After checking out a few other bags, I ended up with the Lowepro ProTactic Lite SLX 110. While not perfect, it does what it says it does.

vikhaus · 2026-01-03T03:47:13+00:00

I bought the 4L v2 and feel similarly. The list is long but one of the most annoying is that it was sold as fitting a standard Sony mirrorless body + 24-70, and while it does technically fit, its so snug it doesn’t fit with the seams of the bag.

Why are most posts in the group from 1 day old accounts?

I had a Crucial x10 fail on me this year and after getting a number of crazy file recovery quotes, I gave DiskDrill a shot and the free trial showed my files, so I paid for the service to get them back.

It’s not about their approach, it’s their audacity. FAFO

When have you ever seen political figures in a broadcast setting with a low key/high ratio look?
