Pixel 8a vs OnePlus 12R! These might be the best two mid-ranger phones in the USA right now!
Are there USB C headsets out there win mic quality on par with XLR mics yet? I'd like a couch streaming setup and an XLR amp and headset would be a bit much. I don't think I'm willing to downgrade to wireless, not for streaming
Hey peeps! Had a thought. I miss streaming and sharing the world of rally to people. I just haven’t had the time in my life lately.
So, I figured I want to make some short videos showcasing particular rally cars/iconic cars to the theme of “8 minutes of…”. As the title suggests, it’ll be an 8 minute (ish) video where I’ll briefly talk about the car’s history and specs, followed by me attempting to look good driving them.
It’s far from done, but I’ve made good progress on setting up my #sewing room with #video cameras, hidden microphones, lights, cabling, USB hubs, etc., including taping cables to the ceiling with white gaffer tape and setting up mounts/arms/tripods in such a way that I can leave everything setup all the time without anything ever getting in the way of actual sewing!
I taped just outside the viewable video area on my cutting table using white gaffer tape under the cutting mat so that I can be sure things are in frame without having to check a screen. And I still have the flexibility of filming my whole table whenever I want, with only minor adjustments necessary.
I even have a decent amount of off-camera space on my table for my laptop, stream deck, tools, etc.
Whether I’m filming or not, nothing will be in the way of #sewing comfortably! @sewing
Best of all: my dog still gets to sit in his favourite spot by the window without being in camera view, and without any fear that he’s going to bump into a camera or knock anything out of place.
Setting this up the way I want has required a lot of trial and error, testing, cabling, climbing a ladder, sweating, trying new ways, etc. but I’m very happy to see it starting to come together.
I’m hoping to finish this weekend and start shooting #sewing videos on Monday, but we’ll see! @sewing
The exciting thing about tech, we're seeing a race to get better camera tech into lower and lower priced phones. OnePlus is battling well against iPhone Pros and Galaxy Ultras, but at SIGNIFICANTLY lower prices!
A whole slate of new laptops are coming, and of course, manufacturers are trying to impress us with THINNESS! What about test driving a machine at the complete OPPOSITE of the thinness spectrum? https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45T
It's so rad to do a sponsored video like this, and the first thing they ask is "Can you blast our laptop with a hose?"
It's big, thicc, and chunky, but there are SO MANY things on this Getac I wish I had on "regular" thin laptops...
