I wanted to buy a couple of lights for indoor toasts and I bought the Godox Litemons panelse only to realize that they kind of needed to be really close to my subjects so I bought a couple of ML60bis because they had a battery clamp and didnt need heavy v mount batteries to be rigged. Now 2 months later I just realized this light RS60 bi exists that has an internal battery chargeable via usb c (for which I extensively looked for, where are meta ads when you want them lol).

End Rant.

Anyway what are some of your more frustrating gear purchase stories?

Im trying to find the PM VND PolarPro Helix Maglock (2-5) on Amazon US but cant. Can someone direct me to the right link?

Ever since I started wedding videography, the heavy gear has taken a toll on my back and legs. I am not used to lifting this type of load for so long. I do have good muscle mass (63.7lb) which for my other vitals (175lb weight, 5 foot 6 inch height 36 years of age) is considered good as per fitness apps. But that being said I dont have good muscular endurance, i.e. my legs and back get tired easily and start aching. What kind of routines do y'all follow in the gym?

And more importantly, my goal doesnt need to be increasing muscle mass ( I clearly have enough?). The goal is to increase endurance. But Im confused as to how I would track progress. Some advice would be hugely appreciated!

I’m a videographer and recently worked with a seasoned photographer on a wedding where she bought really old DSLRs (albeit with adequate lighting and correct lens selection ), but produced absolutely stunning imagery! No touch focus no eye AF, no fancy IBIS , no 10fps burst, just pure skill, was so inspiring and made me feel dumb for fretting so much over gear lol

So I have a portacapture x8. Seems like I need to set gain on it manually, and there’s no way to have it auto correct the gain for speech. Any other way in which I can set it and forget it?

Looking for a place that consistenly serve "crispy" pepperoni pizza ... not talking about the crust but the pepperoni discs that are crispy / curled up.

Even a simple fire stick does so much post processing on the TV. Does vidflow have some special software to reset all the post processing that “smart” TVs do.

I just have a small ugly plastic bag to carry my 15 batteries. Don’t know if this is relevant but I shoot sony.

I feel like during golden hour portraits, the photographer almost never gives up control or space and all my prep goes to waste lol. And b roll shots of just the couple like orbits push ins etc are so important to my edit. Wondering how y’all deal with this.

Everywhere I look it’s the same warm tone edit with perfect skin tones. Are there any videographers you recommend that have a bit of style in their colors?

Photography on the other hand seems to be more diverse with distinct styling like moody , airy etc

Up until now I would just use my YouTube channel to showcase my wedding films, which wasn’t great but kind of worked. But lately there has been some rendering/compression algorithm changes that makes my stuff look so bad. Any other services that you all use to showcase work?
