Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

If I do "lease it".  I'll have to buy it and mod it before selling it back to the lease company.  So it'll be done "before" I own it.

My dad's PC just shit.

 

Budget choice for Motherboard/Proc/Memory/Videocard?  Not sure what it is and figure it is over 3 years old so just replacing everything makes sense.

 

*power supply is newer and more than fine for a non-gaming machine

 

Used to surf internet, do taxes, and sometimes do slight modications to pictures.

It would be about perfect. My buddy had a charged escalade, the avalanche looking one, and it was just over 600 with some nice suspension work. I think he had 22" rims and something more winter friendly.

Awesome vehicle. But he had to work the suspension. You would have made it much more aggressive than he did I am sure. It was a really nice vehicle though. His family is insanely well off though. He had to borrow his moms car while the truck was in the shop. AMG CL with the V12.

Why does he need a video card? If he doesn't game a little better MoBo and nice i5 would be a better choice IMHO.

I would also get a SS drive instead of a gfx card. It is change your life fast especially for windows and files.

Round it out with Gskill RAM and he will be set. By skipping the gfx card you could probably keep the same power supply and be more than happy as newer chips use less power it seems.

Saw Olympus Has Fallen at the local googolplex. Movie itself was a wash but the Sony Digital 4k screen and sound system in the theater were amazing.

Okay, so the old man is giving me a Mustang he's had lying around.  I can use that and some parts from the beater to build something, so I am going to buy a Panther for daily driving, sell or trade my truck for a 427, and I should be all good for a while in the go fast dept.

 it has a built in dampener on the mic, so  it recoreds bass very poorly, now on the gopro2  you could plug a external mic right into the side of it.. and boom problem solved,  well with the 3 black you have to get a adapter cored, and its a foot long, then you plug the mic into it,. and then you have to figure out how to mount the mic!!

 

 2 .  it has TONS of video options all the way from 4K and 24 FPs a very fine LARGE picture .. down to wGVA a small shitty picture. in comparison

 if i recored in anything higher then WGVA..  then i get choppy videos.  that are unwatchable.. and i can not figure out WHY!!!!

 

 its really pissing me off.

Are you watching the original videos, or downloading and converting to another format?

Reason asking is rendering settings for video software can Fuck up quality.

seems to be no matter how i watch it...

 i have tried to watch it in real player, quick player, with the gopro cina editing program and then i just downloaded a program called VLC media player that claimed to fix these issues... and its worse then all the other players...

 

 its frustrating and time consuming.. im getting old and im not as good with software as i used to :(

What file format does it record on onto the card? Can you upload a small clip for us too see, if we have the same problem.

 

Another thing you can do is shoot something and upload it to YT.

Sean I figured it out. You need range rover. Something CPO so no cost on lemons for you. They are a different fucking company in the last 5 years or so.

Interior is nice. Does not ride like the escalade etc etc.

I think your customed up idead is not a bad idea, but it really defeats the whole crapshoot.

You know what you have to do. Get a truck/SUV of your choice on your dime for the boat and trailers. Then have them lease you a nice car. Or have them lease you a vehicle that tows the boat and then buy yourself a fucking awesome whip. Get started on the Pantera.

I know you well enough to say that if you custom up a lease vehicle, you will overdo it because you use a 6x6 when a 2x4 would work for most people. That means it will be in and out of the tuners shop or your garage and "need" constant attention and it won't even be completed in 3 years when the lease is comming up.

 

WTF? Range Rovers are HUGE piles of shit. They ride way worse than an Escalade, are total pieces of shit, HUGE cost of ownership... there is nothing nice about them. I had an '08 in the shop the other day with a jumped timing belt and a rattling intake manifold (variable intake runner shaft torn up). $4000 tab to fix it. A complete piece of shit. The seats are miserable, they feel like they have no suspension, they oversteer like fucking pigs... OMG, I am trying to think of one good thing to say about them and I am drawing a total fucking blank.

 

I have worked on several RRs through the years, and every time I have I have thought they were the hugest pieces of shit on the road. I would rather own a VW/Audi product...

and a mount?

 

You have to either look around for one or get creative and in the end attach it to the tripod mount.

 

If you are thinking about shooting a lot and care about not only the quality of the image, but also of the ... footage so to say, you should do some research on steady cams. Your videos will look much more professional. Lots of DYIs on that.
