So ~3 years later, but I'm finally getting around to this. I have an appointment in about 2 weeks to get my eyes checked and get new prescription glasses. The Crizal Sapphire 360° UV AR coating that has subsequently come out since the thread was started looks interesting to me. I'm also...

Last from Nikon, like ever? You think they're going out of business, or abandoning DSLR for MILC?

So it's September now. When this month is the 3950X supposed to drop? Of course the 3900X is still quite hard to come by so the 3950X might be even harder to get.

So I have video from two of my security cameras showing the package Amazon delivered to my house yesterday blowing away in the wind. The wind lifted it, carried it off the porch, then down and across the driveway, and then down the sidewalk toward other houses. The white padded envelope sure...

Both Sony and Canon are disappointing people today on the MILC front.

Canon is disappointing people today on the DSLR front.

I bought the panels I put up in my great room from Acoustimac Canvas probably is a better surface for painting on.

Those are a lot of bowel movements.

Black velvet is even better than black paint.

Good to know. If only you had told us what it is.

Looks like you're making good progress. Are you going to paint the ceiling a darker color?

PSD?

Canon seems to want to fall further and further behind their competitors. Using the same slow roll strategy of slow plodding deliberate upgrades that was used for years (decades?) [when the market was growing] doesn't seem like a great strategy when the market is in a death spiral of...

Thanks for reminding me why I don't miss the challenges of computing from 20 years ago.

No, I mean how Canon has watered down the video features. Like removing p24 video. And how they're still being stingy with their "4K" by not employing full sensor read out oversampling.

Canon has been hitting them with the cripple hammer. We'll have to wait to see the extend of the nerfing.

Well, dpreview rather likes it.

They run the hospital or have power of attorney over you?

Why do you take those calls?

You go through a lot of women.

5 years later a solution presents itself! :cool:

So a "continent" of data is ~16TB?

The tripod isn't for video. Especially not in the traditional pan/tilt sense. It would be for photos (long exposures) or as a base for the gimbal when doing automated panning timelapses or panoramas.

You probably think I should get and bring a Gitzo tripod too right?

Well, I will gladly accept donations. This isn't a photography trip. I'm going on a tour and am bringing a minimalist setup for taking decent video and photos. Per demon? Exactly what sort of trips are you taking and where are you finding your help?

$200 for 4TB isn't that cheap IMHO. Sure, in the grand scheme of things compared to the cost of cameras, lenses, and other accessories, it's not really expensive, but I just don't see that much value in the device itself. I'd rather buy $200 in SDXC cards capable of at least U3/V30 performance.

paging @ddrueding I haven't done what you're after. I think this was discussed previously in a thread or two here, but it didn't seem like there was a clean solution without spending a fair bit on higher end hardware.

Canon really knows how to hit it out of the park with a new camera in 2019 that wouldn't have at the top of the pack even if it had come out in 2015. The early reviews from people who actually bought it are pretty brutal as opposed to the flowery spin from the people Canon gave a camera too...

Probably not. I just seems like an overpriced & uninspired piece of hardware. I think I'd rather spend the money on cards instead and do my best with my phone + hub rig.

I got lazy and just paid Namecheap.

Stellar battery life. The reviewer postulates the battery might last long enough to copy 512GB based on how much it drops with his smaller data copy. (n)

Not necessarily. Do you have one? How fast does it read the card and copy it to the internal HDD?

That's a possibility, but my preference is to avoid that.

Originally I was thinking to dump the cards and reuse them. But then I was thinking that I'd like to have the pictures backed up which would mean leaving them on the cards and making a second copy to the HDD. 4k Video is rather large though. I suppose one option would be to not copy off the...

I got the Rocketek today and tried it out. I supplied power to the hub with a micro USB from a standard 2A USB charger, plugged in the 5TB 2.5" USB 3.0 HDD to the hub and put a SD card in the card slot. I was able to copy 9.xGB of files to the 5TB HDD without any issue using Solid Explorer and...

I don't see why it would be much different than using a PC. It's just a different OS with the two devices connected to it. If the phone or tablet has USB 3.0 it should be just as fast as a USB 3.0 PC. My current phones and tablets don't have USB 3.0 though. Android has native OTG support now...

Well, both of the devices I linked to have provisions for providing external power to them. I tried connecting my Seagate 2.5" 5TB USB 3.0 drive (formated to exFAT) to my phone and copying data to it, but it made some funky noises that made me nervous during the copy. I expect the phone...

Has anyone made a setup to backup / save content from their camera's memory cards to another card or HDD without a laptop? I've read a few articles that say it's possible to use your phone or tablet's USB OTG capability with a USB hub to connect a SD card reader and a USB HDD simultaneously and...

Flamethrower... hell... I see what you did there. :whistle:

No, that was precisely where I was going with my comment.

Oops. That went right over my head. :oops:

You could see it from a mile away? Maybe I misunderstood your comment.

You rule breaker you... :eek:

That would be to shoot handheld video or to shoot motorized pans/sweeps (you can set up motion points with the phone app and have it move between at a programmed speeds). This lets you do motion timelapses. Contrary to what you said the Crane M2 is one of the smallest and lightest gimbals for...

These things are going to just fly off the shelf for Canon. :ROFLMAO:

Will do. I've got to get them into the other dimension first though. :ROFLMAO:

I'm thinking to get the new Sony RX100 VII ahead of a trip I'm taking overseas in the fall. I think it's overpriced, but no one else has a viable pocketable travel camera like it. The video from the new Canons (G7X III / G5X II) looks underwhelming and the early reports talk about overheating...

Have you been using your Mavic 2 Pro much? Made any cool videos?

I bought two of the 110CFM Delta Signature fans. I'm going to change one in another upstairs bathroom also. I haven't had any desire to spend time in a hot attic installing them just yet so they're sitting in boxes for now.

$1200 like the Mk VI was, but it seems to have some potential.
