Without a landing pad, sand can get into motors while taking off or landing. I lost a 5 inch FPV because of sand getting into one of the motors. For a 5 inch, 150cm pad is necessary. Furthermore, you will need a portable blower to blow the motors clear of sand after each flight if take off/landing in dusty area.
I have the Omen 16 i9 12900HX with 2 of the best coolers ib the market. IETS and KLIM for the vacuum. Let e just say my PC never gets over 65 - its more powerful than the desktop i build for my son and its a beast. Laptop these days are monsters
After trying out my mini 2 se for the first time. I did so in my backyard. Grass a bit long, uneven ground. Instantly made me want a landing pad just so I always have a surface no matter grass conditions etc.
Many Newer laptops don't benefit from overclocking much, high performance ones already do it from the factory, because they are competing with each other, so they do it to keep competitive numbers. If I enable Turbo mode, which maxes the fans and applies the overclock to the gpu, my Fps will go up by a few for a minute, then, it throttles and reduces the clocks, it happens quickly because of the rapid increase in heat output. If I run an average benchmark that sustains for several minutes, I will see nearly identical average fps numbers between Turbo mode and Quiet mode. In some cases, quiet mode has better performance. The laptop gets hot to the touch no matter what mode im in, so it stands to reason that Overclocking can't have any benefit on average unless you increase airflow. What I do, is prop the back of the laptop up and run in quiet mode and I am happy with my performance, plus its not pumping so much dust thru the fans all the time. Perhaps Liquid cooling in laptops will be a thing in the future, then it would be worth doing
I got an Omen 16 - with the most powerful cooler on the market, with a vacuum on the side vent - kepps my CPU around 55 60c Max... With the I9 its amazing, I really dont have to use my own fan at all because the IETS is is so powerful. I made a video of it not long ago
How do I know if the microphone is working? Just got the mobile creator kit 2.0 today and I’m having a hard time with the microphone to set it up on my iPhone .
Can I control an Xtr16 paired with an SK300 mark i and control power output and modeling lamp? Please answer hehe I have the x pro but it only triggers the flashes no power or any form of control and would like to buy this but am afraid of it just being the sane as the x pro. Thank you!
I know this is nit picky. But the ruggedized laptops designed to be water proof do not actively cool. In fact there are quite a few passively cooled only laptops that do not get any or much benefit at all from improving airflow. In case someone here is trying to increase clock speeds on a tough book or getac that has 0 access to it's internals unless you've unscrewed something, your better off getting a different laptop. or, if your crafty, installing a port for an external GPU that is actively cooled. This is also hit or miss since I know my getac does not support external GPUs. Just thought I'd throw that out there for those of us who have less popular laptops.
I owned for over 3 years the bm version and never lacked power. The differences must be minuscule. I even toss out the idea of having the TTL version since I will always need to adjust the power since the light is going to be diffused. Great prices current deals on the pro version tho.
Hi there, I recently purchased the flashpoint r2 pro and a R2 receiver. Upon testing the units I noticed that on highspeed sync my photos are coming out under exposed, even though I'm using the correct exposure. However when I shoot the same shot with the flash attached to the camera on highspeed sync the results are quite accurate. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your time and great job with the vid.
It's all about getting more air through your device's existing cooling. You need to consider how to get that additional air into your laptops intake ports.
good review, on thinking about the modelling light switch issue, @ 5:06, the reason most likely is that AF-assist is camera controlled, for low light situations, so the CAMERA menu will assume control of this setting ( also presumably the low-light AF menu setting on Nikon Z cameras as well); for Medium format, and Large format cameras, if this feature is desired, the SWITCH has to control it, as NO computers in these mechanical cameras, so defaulting to dslrs and Mirrorless is good for the AVERAGE user, who uses these systems, but for neice users, the setting is there to change this behaviour to what they want.
These new strobes make my Alienbees, and Photogenic Studio Max III's seem like dinosaurs ! With TTL, HHS and Multi, these things work more like speed lights than strobes. I remember when Flashpoint/Godox first came out, I tended to avoid them despite the very attractive price, because they had not been time tested. Now not one day goes by without somebody posting something about a Godox product. It reminds me of when Yongnuo first came out, same thing. Although the features of this Godox flash seem very attractive, one has to wonder how many times one would use them in a studio, especially a small studio ?
Thanks Harry. These continue to be my studio workhorse strobes, 5 years since I bought my first one. I very rarely need a full power pop, so a battery charge usually lasts a few days of shoots.
The original AD600 units seem to shoot forever giving closer to 500 full power flashes. This appears to be one of those rare occasions where the Standard version beats the Pro version...
They have different power profiles. The original 600 can give you up to 900 full power pops, while the Pro version has a much faster cycle time. Neither is better, chose the one that fits your genre and shooting style.
Hi design, I'm under the impression if you had repasted the laptop with something quality stuff and optimized the air flow between the blower fans and heatsink to prevent air flow loss. Them some undervolting ( results overclocking) for both the cpu and gpu would have netted you the same overclocked performance at the same or lower thermals without all the extra external help! I mean we could have even clipped the yellow pwm wire running to both fans to make em run flat out bringing the best amount of thermal headroom possible with your overclock! You could say I've had my fun the past haha. Fun hobby!
