3 Tips For The New Year - HAPPY NEW YEAR! #Photo #Video #Audio
How has your cub cadet worked out for you so far? We just ordered one for the same reasons as you. Just wondering.
No major issues. It's due an oil change soon. The plastic shroud is poorly attached (mine broke after I leaned on it). Hasn't fallen off. Gotta to be careful not to scalp the lawn when taking sharp turns. Motor runs smooth. Battery died. I have to jump start it. So far, so good.
Great video, thank you. But get to the point sir!
Do you think spectre is a good laptop for student ? And will it last long ?
Great video! Other than the adding another SSD using the additional slot, Is it possible to upgrade the current onboard 2TB SSD to something like 4TB? Ideally I would like two internal 4TB SSDs rather than 2TB & 4TB.
More is better! Thanks for sharing your comment.
Jesus, you could really bring these points home by shooting a portrait pic, a landscape, a wildlife shot, etc. with your DJI pocket and then with a real camera/lens combo. Shoot both pics under the same lighting conditions. In the summer, I shoot mostly on my sailboat. A big problem there is keeping the horizon level. When I shoot with my Nikon and appropriate lenses I always have to rotate the picture to level the horizon. That is a royal pain to do with video where you need to adjust almost every frame. My GoPro has automatic horizon levelling, which 99% removes that issue. I agree 100% about what you can see in a action cam super wide angle image compared to the same image shot with a real camera or even what I can see with my mark II eyeballs. I say Mark II because even with my eyes I use appropriate lenses for the "shot". The "kit" lesses my eyeballs came with have deteriorated over the years and now give very fuzzy shots, particularly for distance work. That generally requires the use of suitable lenses by Steiner or Fujinon in addition to the custom base lenses I use. So you think some rich guy would think poorly of you if he came into your studio and saw your DJI pocket mounted on a tripod for the shots. After all, you are going to process the hell out of any shot you take and make the guy look however he wants to look after the fact no matter which camera you use.
@@todddunn945 Todd, Decades ago, I was the owner of a Silicon Valley photo studio. I became quickly aware in San José, of the pretentious and superficial nature of portraiture. As a retired photographer I don't plan on producing overtly detailed UA-cam videos. That would require work! If I was given a product that was valued over $500. Maybe then I would take the time and energy to produce a detailed review. In the case of this video, I reflect on my experience and share it with my audience. I expect this video to get maybe 200 views in the next 6 months. I will make 50¢. If I spent an extra 30 hours in the project, I would maybe make $1. I understand that I am not an influencer, and have no desire to morph into one. That would require energy, desire and avarace.
Enjoyd~ you made useful dji. 😈
@@eprohoda You are welcome. Thanks for your comment.
Yes, I kept this video short and to the point. Details my use case scenario.
it's great to backup SD card to HHD without a computer!
It does the job. Thanks!
I edited this video on my new MacBook Air M3. Easy peasy!❤
My wife likes her new InnoView portable monitor. They are both sturdy and have good color. I like the stand on the InnoView.
i bought a Spectre x360 then bought a better one, the MSi Z16HX with the 4070. expandable RAM to 96GB, no Macbook gets even close to the performance. i don't care about efficiency, if i'm using it, it's plugged into a charger.
After watching my video I found several errors. Like calling a GPU a CPU. I apologize. I'll never make that mistake again. Just say'n. 😮
I created this video for UA-cam enthusiasts. In it I explore my buying process is for a new laptop (for occasional video and photo editing).
Considerations. Machinations.
I found several errors on my video. Like calling a GPU a CPU. Bad news. I apologize. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Ours is a 2020
Congrats. I hope everything is copacetic.
Thank you so much for this. We just bought one site unseen and you are the only one who actually took the time to show us the storage, etc. We pick ours up next Friday and have been trying to figure out what we can take or not. We are going into being full time RVers, because of our circumstances. All in we got ours for $21,000. So, think we got a good deal. Once again, thank you for this. I already feel better about our decision because of you,!
Happy camping and few repairs. Congrats.
Yes bro pls do a full vid , Thank you for your efforts
One question. Why do you need to do 4K videos for UA-cam. I am guessing that the bulk of people won't be watching 4K UA-cam videos for a few reasons. First they won't have the hardware to display videos at 4K. From my looking around, the bulk of reasonably priced laptops and even desk top monitors are 1080P max resolution. Sure some people will stream videos to their giant TV screen, but I suspect that will mostly be people that live alone. Second, BANDWIDTH. It takes lots of internet bandwidth to stream 4K videos. If people don't have fast internet they won't be watching many 4K videos, particularly if their internet is capped on a monthly basis. Third, I don't see the point unless you are using a very high quality camera that has both the resolution and lenses to shoot decent 4K video. I can shoot 4K on my GoPro, but given the crappy lens, why waste the time. Fourth, subject matter. Frankly watching a talking head video in 4K seems kind of pointless to me unless particularly if the talking head is an old guy like us. In my case I process my talking head videos at 720P and only go up to 1080P for scenery videos. I think that is about the limit for the image quality my GoPro Hero 12 is capable of. I have shot some 4K video with the GoPro, but since my best monitor is only 1080P, I can't look at the 4K video. Also the bulk of the people who commented on those videos said that they couldn't watch at above 1080P. I don't have a gimbal for my Nikon DSLR, so although it can shoot 4K videos and has the sensor and glass to make it worth while, I don't use it because I don't feel like lugging a tripod around for every shot. even if I could hold it steady enough to shoot hand held stuff, it is a royal pain to process the video to keep the horizon level, etc.
Maybe I'll buy the ASUS ProArt P16. It has a 4K touch screen, an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip plus 32GB of ram and an adequate 1TB SSD. I will stop whining because this laptop has a DaVinci Resolve boosting NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. Can't wait to see the UA-cam reviews before shopping. ❤❤❤
If you're still in your return or price match window, this is on sale right now at Best Buy for $999 and the 32G 2T model is $1,399. I would so get it if I could work with a smaller screen but need 16", hopeful that the Zen S16 will have a good battery life.
@@VladdyDaddy369 thanks for heads up. I might just stop my whining and get the new Asus ProArt 16. Has everything. Big though.
do a detail one
@@GETORIX-bt4ez I only spent one day with the laptop and returned it. I did do another video. Thanks.
@@JMMGarza why did you return it ? Any issues?
@@Nafidzi The HP was noisy and slow. My new MacBook Air M3 16/512 is quiet and fast. Hopefully, it lasts a while.
I gave the new laptop a spin. So far, so bad. CONCLUSIONS: 1) Noisy Fan (always on during video editing) 2) Rendering. In DaVinci Resolve. Hella slow. Simple 7 minute 4k video takes 15 minutes. Bad news! 3) Jittery Editing. Not very smooth. FINALLY: I plan to give it another test tomorrow. I am not confident the results will be better.
That's an old shirt! ❤

Hey there, I'm in England and just came across your channel. You post regularly so, I have sub'd. Your content fits my interests to a tee. I have the 13" MacBook Pro i7 intel model. At he time (6 years ago) I wanted the small screen. I've noticed a real slowdown for Lightroom and PS lately. So, I bought the 16" MacBook Pro M3-Pro. If you want to look at replacing your M1, my advise is to look at the "Apple Certified" refurbished models. I picked up what is truly a brand new laptop (7 power cycles) for £600 off the Apple Brand New price. The laptop came without a blemish of any kind. I hope you check it out and put the $1000 towards a new MacBook Pro. Get your rendering down to 5 minutes. Thanks for the content Brother.
My channel has diverse content. Thanks for subbing. I appreciate it.
While hiking at Lake Mineral Wells State park. I shot some video and took some photos. My modest 8 bit cameras did a good job with the video. You can imagine the improved quality if captured with a modern 10 bit Nikon, Sony, Lumix, Fujifilm or other full frame camera.
I've been reading a lot about many products being fashion accessories. Like certain cars and computers. Many folks buy Macs for the aesthetic. Do they need the power? My wife is on her 6th MacBook. That's even though the last two fell apart. This year, she plans to buy another. She ❤❤❤ (the professor) primarily uses Word and PowerPoint. I guess Macs look cool on the podium?
Seems like more professors use their phone or tablet for lectures. iPad air with the magic keyboard maybe an option. Look out for price drops and back to school promos.
I love the hardware build of Lenovo laptops, and the OS and driver update utility is great (especially for novice users who I used to recommend Lenovo to). However, I will never use another one because these laptops have a history of coming with spyware preinstalled that transmits data to China.
There are only two reasons for my continued use of Windows: 1. I develop and sell software for Windows because the customer base primarily uses it; and 2. There are some business software applications that only run on Windows and some contracts require data be supplied in native format.
I would disagree, there is virtually no reason in 2024 to still be using Apple devices. If Snapdragon beats the M3 then Apple is dead in the laptop market
@@martinspedding4210 Benchmarks are already out that show the best Snapdragon CPUs are only faster than the low end configuration of Apple's M3 CPUs. The M3 MAX is still in first place, and the M4 lineup is due to ship over the next several months (starting with the iPad, which is already shipping). While CPU performance is a factor in choosing a computer, application software availability and a user's comfort level with Windows or MacOS are far more important when deciding which computer to purchase. Also, if you care about security of personally identifiable information, then Apple's products have a definite advantage. It is also possible to run Windows on an M-series Apple computer by using Parallels to setup a virtual machine. I've been running Windows in a VM on MacBook Pro laptops since 2012 (after switching over from Fusion) and have found Windows to operate with fewer issues than when running in native mode on PC hardware. This is because Apple controls all of the hardware and it is easier to produce stable drivers for a smaller range of devices.
@@martinspedding4210 Snapdragon is only faster than the entry level M3 on the MacBook Air or other low end models. The higher end M3 Pro and M3 MAX are faster than the fastest Snapdragon X Elite. Apple has already started rolling out its M4 line of processors, with the first device powered by an M4 being the latest iPad Pro. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the Mac Studio M4 Ultra. This computer will be a beast.
You could get a Mac Mini....once they upgrade to M4. Why do we all have Macbooks? I mean if you're really traveling so much you need the power on the road then it makes sense. But when we are mostly at home, is the cost justifiable to be able to move around the house easily?
I'm going to use my MacBook Pro as a desktop with a separate (working) monitor. I need a easy travel ready laptop that can edit 4k videos. Doesn't have to be the fastest. Just be able to implement DaVinci Resolve free version. Slow computers have issues with that software. Like my Dell XPS desktop. There, I use PowerDirector.
I travel in the old RV. I have several modest UA-cam channels. RVTA is all about the RVing lifestyle. This channel is about photography, video and audio. I'd love to edit video on the road. That was the plan.
I ordered the new Surface Pro tablet with the stupidly expensive keyboard. I really needed a laptop that I could draw on. And I was really tired of having TWO devices to do it from Apple, the Macbook and an iPad. I really just want one device. Makes life a lot easier. Here's to hoping the new system works out better. I'm also happy to go back to windows (for my laptop), because my main PC is Windows. The MacBook never wanted to play well with my office rig. I don't think I would ever render video on my laptop though unless I had no choice. I got a 4090 for my office PC, and I think that'll keep things pretty quick. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about Microsoft's ARM chip, but with all the other companies on board, hopefully it's not as big of a gamble. Time will tell. --- I've never done an extended warranty on any of my purchases, and I've never had issues. The one time I had hardware die was a EVGA graphics card, and they replaced it free of charge.
Microsoft builds a laptop around the Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. MS implements the AI and OS. I'm thinking about waiting for the second gen. I'm "a bit" paranoid. Thanks for the info.
@@JMMGarza Waiting for a second gen is a smart idea. Unrelated to Microsoft, but I have my ears open on how Apple's Vision Pro turns out. I absolutely will NOT buy a first gen of the headset, but I'll be curious to see how it develops.
I have windows on arm and is bullshit
Snapdragon x elite?
@@JMMGarza previous, it doesn't matter, problem in windows on arm like a platform
Is a Snapdragon X Elite laptop BETTER? A: Windows. You could not pay me to use Windows 11.
You could not pay ME to use MacOS. To each its own.
@@jeanbaptistelabelle same hate macos
I'm waiting to see the UA-cam reviews and tests. Yes, some will e an absolute waste of time. I'm already dreading the video game tests since I only use my computers to edit video, photos, audio and post to UA-cam. Primarily!
I bought a Mac Studio for $4,000 and it kept beach-balling on me just opening PDFs. Only explanation I could think of is that it was connected to 3 montiors, since I read that Macs have terrible multi-monitor support. I sold it on eBay for half the cost six months later and bought an Alienware desktop. No problems since. Macs are expensive half-baked computers. Apple has always been better at making hardware, not software.
The problem was between monitor and chair
You should get a NAS....
Nope.
macs are trash. they are the only ones you will see at repair shops
Sounds like the flex cables connecting the screen to the macbook have failed. This is a known design defect on all newer macbook pros (all the ones with USB C ports). Unfortunately, you have to replace the screen because the flex cables are tightly integrated into the new screen design. The chipset is still good (arguably the best part of a M series macbook), if you are willing to use it like a desktop, you should be able to continue getting good use out of your investment by connecting it to an external monitor. Should you get a new screen replacement: frequent opening and closing of the lid (aka: leaning on the screen) will cause the flex cables to fail sooner. This problem never goes away completely despite the expensive repair bill.
At the Apple Store they took my laptop to the back. According to the service/sales dude. Everything looked great, except the monitor. They noted that my MacBook Pro was in mint condition, but two months out of warranty. Such is life.
Most of us should wait to see how the Arm Version of Windows works with the apps you want to use. The Apple silicon transition went really well but will Microsoft be able to do that?
We'll soon see. Mac needs some video editing competition.
