Haha okay that is kinda misleading post but they actually asked if I cook as in regular food because they were giving me a scenario that if I was cooking muffins how would I fix the issue of them sticking to the pan. The job is an R&D Formulation Chemist and they wanted to see how I troubleshoot issues when following a recipe. I said I don't cook because I live with my parents and have no money lol. But I talked about my photography side passion and how I troubleshoot difficulties when filming, as I don't have any post-graduate chemistry experience (apart from being a science teacher for a year, which is where I got the money to buy film gear).

Hey there! I'm looking for a real, meaningful romantic relationship with someone special. To give you a quick idea of who I am, I'm a former science teacher currently expanding my path into other scientific fields. My absolute favorite topic is ecology—specifically when it involves birds—and I spend a lot of my free time doing wildlife and general photography.

Beyond science and cameras, I'm into computers, a good cup of coffee, history, and a few other random interests.

As for my personality, I'm 6'3", on the shy side, and generally pretty gentle. If you don't mind a nerdy guy who can ramble on about local wildlife or tech, you definitely won't be disappointed.

If any of this sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to send a message and tell me a bit about yourself!

Hey there! I’m 28, stand at 6'3", and consider myself a gentle, slightly shy nerd. I’m looking to meet a woman for a genuine, long-term romantic relationship. I live in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, so I’m hoping to find someone local to the region or nearby areas (like VA/MD/DC) for real-world dates.

A bit about me: I’m a former science teacher currently transitioning into other scientific fields. My absolute favorite topic is ecology, and I have a huge soft spot for ornithology (birds). When I’m out in nature, I usually have a camera in hand—wildlife and general photography are major passions of mine.

When I’m indoors, I love diving into history, messing around with computers, and enjoying a really good cup of coffee. I value deep conversations, kindness, and shared curiosity about the world around us.

If you don’t mind a nerdy guy who is a great listener and passionate about his interests, I’d love to hear from you.

To kick things off: What is your favorite local spot to visit, or what is a hobby you’ve been loving lately?

So I'm using a harness system where a hook comes down in front of you like shown in the picture. I just got the RS4 Pro and when I have the camera in this setup and turn it on the gimbal goes crazy by trying to spin and then goes into sleep mode. I don't want to damage it but I also want to use it lol so how do I say it up like this?

I'm a complete noob with timecode. I have the C50 and the H5Studio with the TCA-1 Adapter. I'm recording in 150p S&F Mode and want to sync the timecodes together. Is that possible in this mode and what settings do I need to set for that to happen?

Like those modded controllers that can grip the screen but have gyro on the controller because apparently the tablet doesn't have it.

I got a backpack system with a hook on a pole above my head so that the camera suspends in front of me (Flycam Flowline). I use the 100-500 with it but since getting the C50 the top handle interferes with the lens collar and tripod foot. So I was thinking of just attaching an adapter to the cold shoe on the C50 top handle and suspend it from that? Would that put the strain on the camera body where the top handle is screwed into and therefore be a bad idea?

I just got the C50 and the Super 16mm 150p RAW mode is awesome for wildlife, and it can record at 150p in addition to 120p, which is not ideal in NTSC regions when you want playback to be real-time. Because 150 is 2.5x more than the standard 60p, it can't cut out the frames at a consistent rate compared to 120p which may cause some slight stuttering but at 120p you lose the extra 30 frames of slow-mo when you want to slow it down for more flexibility. Am I overthinking or is that something worth thinking about?

I want to arrange it so that by just pressing the camera record button the field recorder starts to record. Wondering if that is possible and if not what field recorder is required to do that? Plan on using it with an upcoming Canon C50, which has a timecode port if that helps.

Which is better? The C50 can do RAW Light ST in 7K60P but the R5C apparently can only do RAW Light LT in 8K60P due to data usage constraints. I saw a video showing how LT is noticeably more blocky on close inspection than ST, but that was at the same resolution. I only prefer 60p, like video games where 30 fps or less is too choppy. So which is better, maybe the R5C still wins due to 40% more resolution?
