Have you gotten this yet???

 

Got them. @stroM- has his set up. They are ok. Worth what you pay for them, some things could be better, but good for the price.

 

This is why I like this thread... people respond with quality posts.

Going to have to check that out.... may be something to test out and see if it would work well.

Wanted to get a gimble for the phone at one point... but not for the prices they were selling them.

 

Well, that's about it for desert season. Last trip was borderline too warm to be fully enjoyable during the day.

Hopefully find the time to get up into higher elevations to escape the heat during the summer.

 

Yeah. Anza was about 97 during the day. Luckily we were in that cove and had tons of shade. We carried an EZ up in each truck throughout the day so when we stopped to shoot we could set it up haha.

 

Yep, Yuma will be a bit warm. I grew up there. Where are you going?

 

Sweet! Have fun. I'll just enjoy your pics.

 

I'm assuming you were outside of the state park when shooting?

 

BLM land across the railroad track where everybody shoots

 

Just making sure after reading that you went through anza stopping at shooting spots...

 

We stopped only once haha. I'll have video and more pics soon! None of us are incredible photographers or videographers, but we have about 60 gigs of pics and video from the weekend between us!

 

@SixthSnail "not stopping" to shoot in Anza:

 

Exactly. We only "Stopped" once.... hahahaha jk

 

I feel like I'm totally backwards from you guys the snow is finally gone enough to enjoy the low elevation trails again... anything mid to alpine level is still burried in feet of snow and the high altitude deserts here are still below freezing. If it's a sunny day you might get above 5 lol

Same up here. It's just now getting warm enough (staying above freezing at night) that my wife is willing to go out camping. A week or two more and all the smaller lakes and ponds I like to camp at and fish should be broken up enough to get my canoe out and do some fishing.

 

Desert being hot is more of a problem at night for me than day time. I can deal with high heat while I'm awake, not when I'm trying to sleep in a tent that turns into an oven

 

that looks awesome!

Im considering this:

$22 Treva 10" Portable Fan, Powered by Battery and/or AC Adapter - Desk Fan Air Circulating with 2 Cooling Speeds, Personal Fan and Travel Fan for all your needs

Great to know... Im hoping I can make it work off of a 12v power source. I can deal with the batteries since I always have a bunch for other things... Amazon basic batteries are "good enough" it seems.
