I keep telling myself this, but so far I have failed. :o

Nice! I'm getting one from him too. Can't wait to get it set up! It looks like the only thing that I still need is some HV wire, but I don't want to buy a whole spool. Do you buy chance have a suggestion of where to get shorter lengths?

As long as they aren't knock-offs, those AW batteries are good.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect much out of those lasers. Or those batteries to be honest. They'll probably be fine for those (most likely low powered) lasers, but if you end up getting a quality unit, they mite not be able to keep up. Any battery with "fire" in the name has been pretty much proven as...

We'll probably cut into Colorado from Utah around the Grand Junction area.

I wish that I could justify the cost, but I can't. I just don't really see myself using it that much. We're now thinking about taking some extra time off to explore the rest of Wyoming. Being that we're already making the 11 hr. drive just to get to the state, mite as well see the parks and...

Nice RC! You're pretty close to being in one of the longest totality duration areas! I have to drive a total of 13+ hrs. and will still be 13 seconds or so down from max totality time. 13 seconds doesn't sound like much, but from what I've heard, it feels like it's over in a few seconds anyway.

I was just reading on what sounded like some pretty similar conclusions about the overall video quality. It was also noted that the video quality will further degrade if loaded onto a site (i.e. YouTube or Facebook). Do you have any experience in the single aperture 360 cams? I know it wouldn't...

PM incoming!

Right now the widest thing I have is 16mm, but it's not full frame, so probably more like 24mm. So maybe a wide angle diopter would be a better option. I guess I'll have to do some research on those 360 cams. At least I still have time to shop around, and compare.

Great, now I'm really wanting one! Only if I had some extra cash right now, but getting prepped for the upcoming eclipse is making sure that I'm broke. :cryyy: ultimatekaiser, if you did get some ideas on a "cheap" setup, keep me in mind!

A 360 camera is actually a really good idea! I don't know how often I'd use something like that otherwise, but I'm going to search around for one in the $100 or so price range and see what I can find. I have an app on my phone for time lapse video, so I will be getting a mount for my phone so I...

I've actually heard this before, and am contemplating not trying to get eclipse pics at all, and just focus on my surroundings. I'll have 2 cameras with me, so the wife can get some shots too, but if I don't think the tracker will keep the sun in frame good enough, I won't even worry about that...

So as of now, I found a hotel in Rawlins, Wyoming. It's a 2 hr. drive to Casper from there, but still doable. Plus I booked 4 nights for $300, so WAY cheaper then the rates for a place right around the area of totality. It'll be an 11+ hr. drive to Rawlins, but my car get good gas mileage, and I...

So... doing some more research today, and it looks like St. Joseph, Missouri is out of the question. It's completely booked up. From what I was told by a coworker, is that some of the hotels there were charging $1000 a night, and still sold out! So I'm open to suggestions if people have any...

The partial eclipse will cover the entire United States. You'd have to at least go up to Oregon to get totallity. Yes, even at 81% it'll still be bright out. Matter of fact, photographers dont even recommend any camera exposure changes until totality. You'd have to be in the path of totality...

Just wanting to see if anyone has any plans to try and be somewhere in the path of totality for this event? If so, and you have to travel, where and why that location? I'm leaning towards St. Joseph, Missouri. Mostly because there is a full event already planned there, which will have some...

Awesome little HeNe! I eventually want to get something like this to incorporate into some sort of sci-fi/lab type of prop. :yh:

Of all the celebrity deaths that I've heard as of late, this one sucks the worst! :(

Re: Various lasers 4 sale I'm the one who bought the last two in the pic. But with these prices I'm going to get the others too if nobody jumps on this deal!
