That’s depends of your need. The SSD can be enough and you can add an external one if needed. The ram is on the MB so it’s depends if it’s just for light task, but starting to really work (dev, photo or video editing…) 16 should be your goal.

You can keep using a mac for 10 years plus. They are super reliable

Used a 2012 MBP every day for 12 years

On paper maybe, but the mac mini is so portable and well built!

Why not check out the mounts shown in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VR_hA1Rfh1I.html Might be useful to you

Anything 5K in 16:9 format is okay for starters. When you start earning money, you go with Apple monitors for maximum performance and eye candy.

Yes, it's the same

I would also suggest the 16gb version tbh.

can I use an iPhone 15 Pro on this gimbal DJI RS4 PRO

​@@stephanlewisthis might be a bit much for the iPhone. You should go for a much smaller gimbal

@@SamuelRush okay thank you

Sony FDR-AX700 Will this gimbal work

There's a new switch to change the joystick between gimbal movement and a zoom motor. You can swap between horizontal and vertical shooting easily with the new plate. 20% more torque in the motors. In the real world these features are an improvement and worth the upgrade for some. For some users that use cameras and native lenses you can assign the focus motor to zoom/iris as you can focus those lenses without a motor and operate two things with one hand!

It sure is! 🎉🎉🎉

You can either tilt it all the way forward with your camera rotated 90 around from the standard position or mount your camera in vertical mode by using a cage or L-shaped plate

@@Rush-Reviews thank you for your answer.

​@@Tygrysek1993you can also unscrew the head and put a different mount on if you need

I have owned Intel Macs for years (and power PC before that) and you definitely need less RAM with the M series than intel, the 8GB M2 mac mini I have now smokes all my previous Intel makes in terms of speed, and if you use a good quick external SSD for all of your data and keep most of your software and data on that and the main hard drive relatively free so it can blaze through swap space then its pretty unlikely the SSD will fail anytime soon. I never have slow downs or lock outs, having said that my use of the Mini is as a plex server for the house, I use it as a web dev for coding and the like and run a couple of k monitors off it and use it in conjunction with a decent thunderbolt hub, but honestly I NEVER see slowdown or have short of memory errors and the fan never cuts in to a speed where I can hear it either, my old MacBook Pro i7 Quadcore with 16GB RAM always sounded like a plane taking off when given anything slightly stressful to do, I also own an M1 MacBook air in its base config which I've had from brand new and again it smokes all my old Intel Macs and the battery lasts 14-16 hours for general use,.

@@craigsketo Thank you for sharing your experience. But: While it’s true that M-series Macs are faster with the same amount of RAM as Intel-series, the idea that they actually NEED less RAM than Intel Macs is a misconception. Here are a few key points: 1 RAM requirements are determined by the tasks you perform, not the CPU architecture. Intensive tasks like advanced math studies, music making or running virtual machines still require substantial RAM. 2 Although M-series Macs have fast SSDs that handle swap memory very well by yesterdays standards, relying on swap memory too often can wear out the SSD and doesn’t replace the need for adequate RAM. 3 For light tasks, 8GB might be sufficient, but more demanding tasks will benefit from more RAM to avoid slowdowns. While M-series Macs are a significant improvement, it’s crucial to have enough RAM for your specific needs to ensure optimal performance.

@@MR-vj8dn it’s not a misconception though, as you state yourself they do need less RAM for the average user, any power user shouldn’t be buying an entry level machine and a power user would know that, these 8gb machines are perfectly adequate for a high percentage of normal users, I’m 54 and grew up learning 6502 assembly language, C++ and making games and programming run in 64k of memory and to this day I run a farm of servers for one of the worlds largest companies in its sector so I’m pretty clued up on hardware coming from the era of HP and IBM servers and having to move with technology. I agree it’s horses for courses but the main point still stands almost all users apart from specialist will be perfectly happy with 8gb. The swap memory destroying the ssd thing whilst certainly possible as far as I understand it has not been a major issue with returns for apple considering it is now 3.5 years since the M1 hit the market so I agree it can definitely happen, but for the average user doing average things is very unlikely

I always chose higher RAM in past, but then I used my wife’s MacBook Air. M series just runs very efficiently and I think even 8GB is enough for “most” people, even for an IT professional like myself. Technically you are right, but in real world usage under everyday usage scenarios, experience with M series is just that good. I’m thinking of just selling my MacBook Pro for home and getting Mac Mini. I use iPad mostly for non-work stuff anyways.

@@ThatGuyyyyy If it works for you, it's good enough. 😊 The M series is wonderful to work with.

Yep it can do it

@billb8262 I've been trying to do it with a Cable Matters c to hdmi and I can't get it to work. Any recommendations?

@@Kaiokikaider Did you try one of the display resolution apps for Mac? You may need one that allows you to select 4K and higher refresh rate. Not sure if the default display settings app can. I think I used EasyRes or something like that to run an external and control its refresh rate when I did it.

@@billb8262 Thank you so much for the reply! I didnt know there was an app for that! i'll try it later today and let you know if it works. Thank you again!

@billb8262 almost worked. It'll do 120hz but only at 1440
