  Very nicely and clearly explained introduction to macro photography, Neil!

  Definately don't mount your field monitor to the hot shoe like that. Even my Nikon D810 is only rated for around 300 grams...but even then I wouldn't. The R5 is known to get a loose hotshoe from just flashes alone. For my ultra macro, I use a crane style arm for the camera. Then you can use a clamp mount for the field monitor, and clamp it to the rear of the horizontal tube that the camera mounts to. It doubles as a counter weight.

  Don't panic, my fleet of R5s all wear nice beefy Tilta cages that help greatly in mounting everything and anything 😃😃😃

  Hi - did you see an increase in WRITE speeds to the nas with the RAM upgrade please? I have the 1821+ with 8x10TB drives, 10G Card and with standard 4GB RAM installed. I am getting ~850MB write speeds to the NAS, if I upgrade my RAM to 32gb or 64gb will I see an increase to my write speeds?

• 
  @zu5295Ай бұрын

  I just installed 64gb of Crucial ram in my 1821+ and now I'm consistently getting north of 1GB/s write speeds to the NAS, I was already get >1GB reads anyway, so yea, having the extra ram does make a significant difference! since it helps cache the writes to ram as it writes to the disk

  So glad I found your video. I have a Drobo 5D, still working great but I know my time with it is limited. So I have been trying to find a similar replacement. Like a Terramaster or OWC but the fact that you have to use a software RAID, you can’t mix and match drives and you can’t increase the volume makes it a hard no for me. I am better off buying a 20TB drive, use a dock to connect to my computer and back up the data to my Drobo and my 2 Synology 1815+ units. When the Drobo dies, I repurpose the 5x8TB drives in the NAS’. Can’t believe someone did not buy the Drobo tech, not the fastest solution but damn easy!

  You seem to basically discount AF. Im currently deciding between this and the Nikon Z 105mm, with the dilemma being 2x vs AF. How much experience do you have with auto focus bracketing features built into mirrorless cameras? The ability to set parameters, press go, and have the camera take dozens of perfectly bracketed shots seems like it would shift the lack of AF from being a non-issue into THE issue. Thoughts?

• 
  @neilfisherАй бұрын

  @jdpattok4357, yuppers I certainly did discount AF. When shooting at 1:1 magnification or higher, autofocus is useless. Sure, automated focus bracketing is cool but the cost savings by going with a MF lens should give you budget to grab a focusing rail. This is just personal preference: if a camera feature didn't exist two decades ago, I've learned how to accomplished the desired finish product without it. Having a car that can park itself is nice, but I'd rather park it myself as I know how to do so.

• 
  @jdpattok4357Ай бұрын

  @@neilfisher Gotcha, yeah I figure the initial focus would be done manually either way. It's for focus stacks with 30, 40, 50+ images that it seems a focusing rail would be extremely tedious, and the auto bracketing would be a game changer. My experience is with wildlife, though, so that's purely speculation on my part. Thanks for the input. Great video by the way!

  Very nicely explained along with your patient companion who was patiently hearing all what you were saying with interest :) With so much of snow and wind, is it advisable to expose the drone ? What additional care is required in an environment setup you were, for the drone, battery etc? Some tips, please?

• 
  @neilfisher24 күн бұрын

  Very good question @DestinationsNextwithNandagopal 👍 It's certainly not advisable to fly in heavy snow as it will likely find its way inside the aircraft, but with the temperature so cold - it's possible to tape shut the ventilation opening. The aircraft used to capture the snow fall imagery has done so on numerous instances and is still operating well today. Keeping batteries warm before being used goes a long way in providing a proper discharge rate once in use 😃😃😃 I've got an entire video focusing on cold weather photography that might help - kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZ6j2Jitn7zOYqw.html

I currently edit 4k videos on my Mac (attached directly to a Drobo 5D3 via thunderbolt 3) that's at least 5 years old and has an ethernet connection maxed out at 1000baseT.

  Such great information. Some other vids have spoken about the value of selecting a more vintage Synology unit that supports decoding video faster if you use Plex or similar. Is it worth 'going to the older stuff' for that purpose, or getting one of the newer 2023 models?

• 
  @Noodles.FreeUkraine2 ай бұрын

  Unfortunately, as great as Synology is, their development cycles regularly see glaciers passing by at break-neck speeds. I have no idea why he bought a NAS from 2020 in 2024, but even the newer models use the trashiest AMD CPUs Synology was able to find. His DS1821+ runs on a 14 nm AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B from Q1/2018 and a newer NAS, e.g. the DS923+ boasts a 14 nm AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 from Q2/2019. That's what they're offering in 2024, with a straight face to put a cherry on top. And yes, to cut a few more cents of the already anemic CPUs, they decided to ditch integrated graphics. So good-bye Plex, unless you grab a DS918+ or a similar model. That's the one I got and I'll run it until the day it dies or Synology comes to its senses and starts offering NASes with actual CPUs in it that deserve the name. Blows the mind how they'd rather alienate all of their Plex users instead of offering a model that isn't already 5 years old when it hits the market. They're gonna lose more money due to lost sales than they stand to gain from the miniscule savings. I guess the bean counters in Taipeh weren't able to figure that out.

• 
  @neilfisher24 күн бұрын

  When I purchased the DS1821+ in 2023, Synology had yet to release their DS1823xs+... and for my needs the latter is still the more cost effective choice that delivers equal performance. I use the DSD1821+ only for video and photo storage and editing - and don't have need for real time video decoding. Don't really think it's mind blowing that a company identifies the differing customer usages of their products and scales accordingly. The Plex userbase likely doesn't represent an adequate product share to make proactive targeted product development worthwhile. Just my two cents 👍
