Been filming my back and glute workouts more lately. I already had an action 6, but shooting every set from the same front angle got old pretty quick. then I grabbed a Nano to use as a second camera. I'll keep the action 6 in front, then stick the Nano somewhere on the rack for a side or back angle or i'll directly wear it for a first-person angle. It's honestly pretty useful for rows, pulldowns and checking my form on glute exercises.

4k60 footage looks solid, even with the kinda crappy lighting at my campus gym. wide angle also means I don't have to mess with the framing forever between sets. but not every machine has a good spot for the magnet, so I still keep a clip mount in my bag. Having both angles makes my workout clips way more interesting too. The Action 6 gives me the full view, while the Nano adds those closer POV shots that make the video feel less like a normal gym recording. Now I just have twice as much footage sitting on my laptop waiting to be edited lol.

Planning to overseed the lawn this fall and I keep hearing the watering schedule is what makes or breaks it. Too much at once and you wash the seeds away. Too little and they dry out before they take hold. I have been adjusting hoses every fall and I am tried of guessing.

This year I am thinking about using a smart controller instead. The main thing I need is short, frequent watering cycles and the ability to keep the overseeded area separate from the rest of the yard. My worry is the weather skip feature. If it decides to skip a cycle right when the seeds are starting to germinate, I could lose a whole patch.

I looked at Rachio first since it gets mentioned a lot, but it seems built for in-ground sprinkler systems and my yard does not have one. Orbit is cheaper but the zone options looked too basic. The irrisense 2 caught my eye because it runs off a regular garden hose, has 10 zone, and lets you set short cycles throughout the day. On paper it looks like the best fit for overseeding.

Has anyone actually used it for this? Did weather sense ever skip watering at the wrong time and dry out your seeds? Also wondering how you set up the short cycles, like how many times a day and for how long.

My club rents these out by the hour so I've used one three times now after work. Paying my hourly rate like everyone else, no affiliation or anything.

28F, self taught, maybe a 2.0 if I'm being generous. I mostly just need the same makeable ball over and over without making a friend suffer through it.

First session was messy. I changed setting constantly, and basically spent half the hour arguing with it. Sessions two and three got way better once I stopped trying every shiny thing and picked only one plan.

The repeatable feeds were already useful but the challenge report is what made session three interesting. It showed where my balls were landing instead of me just going off vibes. Apparently my backhand cross court lands shorter than it feels, and my forehand starts drifting when I get tired. Humbling but honestly helpful.

There's also a return to spot drill that ended up being the unexpected standout. I went in thinking I was just there to groove contact but that one turned into a footwork session pretty fast.

Some modes only make sense after you try them and I wish there was like a simple use this for X cheat sheet or something.

I'm not delusional about what this is. It's not lessons or match practice, it's something else entirely. For me it feels more like a mirror for bad habits. I can't always feel what I'm doing wrong mid rally but seeing yep your backhand is living short gave me one clear thing to work on next time.

Would I get one? If someone promised me it'd take me from 2.0 to 3.0 then teah probably lol.
