Owning multiple QNAP units - I would probably go with Synology.

QNAP is a software mess. Current V5 have lots of issues IMHO - and so far no fixes/sw releases since Dec.

I have had a few that...

Wireless is useless for large transfers. The indicated / advertised speeds are never what you get in real life. 10GBit Ethernet works well for large transfers. So BM Cloud servers are "mini" "on ...

The BM Cloud is a "private" cloud. So it sets you up with your own "cloud" server where you are. No need to involve the internet. :) So it is BM Cloud thing is your own "Image Editing Server" where ...

If you are serious about the nomadic part and not constrained by finance :) - then I think the right solution would be something like 1 MBP M1 Max for rough editing - maybe with a M1 iPad Pro for ...

Ok - i finally had some time to check it. I would say for normal editing - the MBP M1 Max is fine. But once you start adding effects in resolve it becomes painful dependent on the effect (Resolve ...

I use the Solmeta GMAX GPS when I need really precise image tagging. It also provides more info (altitude/pitch/roll/mag heading)

It took a good time trying to download those images. Google Drive took ages to zip the files to the extent when I noticed the pop up for download - the download had expired. But once I was noticed ...

I think the M1 Max MBP should be ok - but I have not tried it. Resolve is getting better and better M1 optimisation. But I have not tried 8k Nikon footage on it yet. But if you make a small Resolve ...

I use the Solmeta GMAX for my Z cameras. It is a bit of an old horse now - but gives better GPS coordinates plus compass direction + altitude from either GPS or altimeter + pitch/roll angle. That ...

Yes all the new Atomos products are for their Cloud Studio - but there is NO mention of what it will cost to subscribe.

So you buy a $400-$1000 product and it is like a lottery how much Studio is...

If you need to record - I would recommend the BlackMagic ATEM Mini ISO - gives you 4 HDMI inputs in 1080p - and USB out to disk to store all the channels in parallel - including a Resolve Project ...

Do you need to record - or just have the HDMI video out? If you need to record - you can't go beyond the 30min limit. If you just need the HDMI video out - you are fine - you can disable the power ...

If you purchase a $5k+ camera - and want to save a penny by making up your own storage with cheap Chinese adaptors - you are not valuing your camera investment very high. A lot of NVMe SSD drives ...

Not available at the moment - but here is one...

There are already 3rd party Magsafe adaptors for DJI OM4 gimbal.

There are not any for DJI OM5 yet.

It is very likely you need a new reader. If the reader you have is the old Sony MRW-E90 from 2015? - it has been discontinued for a while and Sony have been a bit slow with ANY software updates for ...

Most camera shops have XQD/CFExpress readers And yes there are XQD/CFExpress & SD Card combo readers. But yes there are many combo readers dependent on your budget. And once you have used a fast ...

If you do not want to spend the $30-$50 for an XQD reader - find someone who has one near you. And if you have a camera shop you buy from - they would more often than not - help you put the ...

I'm waiting for the Nikon Z6-66 - a devilish cool camera. :) nah' jokes aside - Z9 is too large and heavy for me. So I'm aiming for Z7 III or Z8. So far the plan has been Z7 / Z6 II /  Z7 III (so ...

I think a lot of the issues are "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - so developers do intend to fix bugs - but doing new things is more fun. Then Time sneaks up on them and a new ...
