UPS batteries are meant for low long draw.. We had a bank of 4 C&D UPS batteries (big ones) and we did a direct swap out on 2 D3100s and it was able to keep voltage higher for longer and we were actually a few tenths higher on the meter.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of USP batteries.

I am originally from Buffalo, and I catch shit when I bitch about the 20s here in NC. People don't realize that you acclimate, and I lived in the SoCal for 10 years. Down there 60 is cold. I get used to winters a bit quicker (although now, thanks to old age and arthritis every cold day is a lesson in pain) but those first cold snaps are difficult to get used to. It's all about the temperature differential... I went from 40 (in London) to 110+ 80-90% humidity and I was DYING. Then 40 days later it's in the 60's and I'm freezing, lol.

It's in the 60's here.. BRR it was 110+ when I first got here lol... Where are you deployed to? It's in the 60's here.. BRR it was 110+ when I first got here lol... Where are you deployed to? Qatar

It's in the 60's here.. BRR it was 110+ when I first got here lol...

My main uses are: Pictures of Cars People Landscapes and touristy kidna stuff.. Zoo animals, etc.

Finally got my a55 in the mail from the states.. Loving it so far... Just really trying to "Learn" how to use it and manipulate it with the built in features. I'll probably pick up some minolta lenses but I am not sure what I want yet. The stock lense is pretty good for all around shooting/video. Thinking about either a zoom lense and a Macro lense... not sure any suggestions?

Should get decently loud

]I use(d) Orb which is an online service.. When I used it, it was free and worked pretty well.. You could access it on your PS3, Android, PC, Whatevs.

you can get the a55 to do up to 59fps but videos are fairly limited and the file size is GIGANTIC.

I love my Sony A55..I got it for a great price (used) 500 and it takes GREAT pictures and even better videos. You can get Sigma lenses for dirt cheap refurbished or brand new that are compatiable with the A Mount. Lenses open up a wide world of being able to take great pictures.

If you're wondering who Matt is.. This is him...

lololololol

They are expensive ~900. I'm doing a mac mini in my car while keeping the current head unit... will switch to 2 2x4 mini dsp's later down the road.

East of me? lol

Why would you use a self excting alt and an external regulator? The external regulator Singer/MM sends out with the alt has a turn on lead like an amplifier, so when voltage is applied when the key is turned it will turn it on.

I feel like this build has been going on since I joined this forum... You work slower than me.

change of plans, picked up 2 BC3500's and I am going to buy 2 more for a total of 4 at .5 each...

ttttttttttttt
