I just got a windshield replaced and noticed this. It’s not on the glass- not on the inside nor the outside. It’s some sort of defect in the glass. Anyone ever seen this before? Roughly an inch and a half long. Faint.
Looking to find the Tibetan Freedom Concert (Randall's Island 1997) from start to finish. Ideally, I'd like an ethical/legit copy but I'll settle for anything at this point.
What’s the fix for this VSF bracelet coming apart on a permanent link? I can position that outlet link so that the pin fits inside of it but it comes back out.
I recently picked up a first-generation Xtra Muse for $217, hoping it could fill a gap in my current sports video setup.
Right now, I shoot lacrosse goalie footage from the sideline with a high-quality camera that's ideal for recruiting videos. It captures a large portion of the field, making it perfect for showcasing the entire play and giving college coaches the context they want. What it doesn't do well is produce the tight, portrait-oriented footage that's become popular for social media hype videos.
My hope was that the Xtra Muse could fill that role. I knew it was a gamble, but I was hoping its lens would be narrow enough to isolate a goalie from the sideline while still giving me the convenience of a pocket-sized, stabilized camera.
Unfortunately, it isn't even close.
For anyone familiar with a lacrosse field, when I'm standing on the restraining line in landscape orientation, the Xtra Muse at its maximum 2x zoom still captures roughly half the width of the field. And that 2x zoom is nowhere near lossless—the image quality drops dramatically.
Realistically, I was hoping the field of view would be about half that width. I would have been thrilled if it were closer to one-third. Instead, it's far wider than I expected.
In portrait orientation, standing beside the goalie on the sideline, the goalie's entire body occupies only about one-fifth of the frame's height. The rest of the image is mostly sky and grass. It's simply too wide to create the kind of dramatic, subject-focused footage that works well for social media.
This really isn't a complaint, because I understood the risk before buying it. What concerns me more is that, after looking at the specifications of the new Pro model, I'm not convinced it solves this problem either.
It seems like there's a genuine gap in the market: a camera that's small enough to pull out of your pocket in seconds, but offers a quality telephoto field of view suitable for sports. Something that lets you instantly capture tight, stabilized action without carrying a full-sized camcorder or interchangeable-lens camera.
To be fair, the Xtra Muse does have a place. It's actually quite good for standing on the sideline and documenting an entire game in a casual, cinematic style. It captures all of the action without requiring constant reframing. Even for that purpose, though, I'd still prefer the lens to be a bit tighter. And for me, I already had that covered in a superior way.
Thank.
Keep an eye on the payment method you used at Patreon. I opened a one-time use credit card for a Patreon purchase in November. The privacy app just informed me of an attempted purchase at Amazon with that number.

My local McDonalds asks me to pull over after EVERY order. I suspect they're timing order fulfilment speed and this is a way to manipulate it. Any truth to this? And is it an endorsed practice by corporate?
Just received an ARF Panda Daytona with the DD4801. Total came in less than $400. I was anticipating some rotor noise as I see this among the chief complaints about this movement. Just dropping in to weigh in about it- no noise whatsoever.
With my ChefIQ, I used the scale to measure out a point of green beans and chose the green beans option on the cooker. I put them in the strainer basket and added 1/2 cup of vegetable broth. Using the presets, they came out mushy. Is there a way to adjust from what the preset wants to do automatically? And what adjustments should I make? Was throwing in broth (that I found from an online tip) this issue?
There’s a lot of photos out there of RH. And I’ve commented before that his “look” changes quite a bit- sometimes his bone structure is more pronounced, sometimes he’s “dumpier.” With that said, the new documentary pinned him at 6’4” 270- no way. He’s way heavier than that.
