  1. They both have to convert the 5V of your USB output to 9ish Volts DC to have enough juice to power the camera. Both should work just fine, as long as they have the correct voltage. I'd just get the less expensive one.
  2. C/Y mount Contax Zeiss glass is what you would expect from Zeiss, but obviously not cheap. There's a good thread on the reduser forums here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?92044-Contax-Zeiss-Survival-Guide . If I were to build a set of lenses for video I'd be looking at finding some and adapting. Cheap compared to cine lenses but more expensive than a new lens from Nikon/Canon.
  3. Yeah, I would have checked it there if I had a USB mini-B cable. Too bad mini-B is the worst connector in the world and nothing should ever have it, except one of the most popular USB mics for some reason.
  4. I bought a Yeti from a local swap meet today for $60; which I thought was a pretty good price. I tested it when I got home and all the pickup patterns have zero input volume except for the bi-directional one. The mic also seems to be stuck at max gain because it just peaks even with slight handling noise, or breathing. Turning the gain knob doesn't do anything at all. Any thoughts on what the cause of this might be? The Yeti has 3 capsules, not sure which ones are activated in which modes though. Could it be the wiring from the capsule to the circuit board or the capsules themselves or even the pcb components being damaged? I'll probably open it up and see what it looks like, but not sure what to even look for. I did send a support ticket in to Blue but since I paid cash, no receipt and not original owner I'm probably SOL.
  5. If you can afford it, I would be choosing between a Hero 5 Black and Yi 2 4K. The GoPro will be somewhat waterproof without the waterproof case, so the audio coming out of the camera will be slightly more bearable.
  6. Thanks for posting this, now I know what motherboards I should avoid.
  7. 60 inch image from 4 inches away? WAT!!! If only I had one of these
  8. I have 668B's. They are mostly plastic and feel pretty cheap, but I've dropped them quite a few times a couple feet from the floor and they are still completely fine. Owned them for about a year now. I do recommend getting replacement velour earpads from hifiman though. The 668B's aren't quite as open as ad700x's but still have pretty good soundstage, but has better bass in my opinion.

  10. I'm a H440 owner, but I've built a computer for my friend in the Define S. I like the looks of the H440 much better, but it definitely was nicer/easier to build in the Define S. The H440 has the PSU shroud which makes a huge difference in appearance of cases. The H440 doesn't get as much airflow in, but they both seemed to be fairly close in sound dampening.
  11. "You can't power your headphones" seems like some unclear wording, maybe say something like your headphones don't get loud enough?
  12. What's your price range? Look at the stickied thread and scroll down to the in-ears, see what you like that fits in your budget.
  13. Yes, it supplies 48V phantom power.
  14. From the comparisons I've heard, the AT2020 sounds better for instruments (guitar) and the AT2035 sounded much better for vocals and lower pitched talking voices. If you just need something cheap to connect 1 XLR mic to your PC you could get a Blue Icicle ($45), it just has volume control. A Focusrite Scarlett solo ($100) or 2i2 ($150) is a good choice if you want an instrument and a mic plugged in at the same time. The Mackie Onyx Blackjack is also a great choice.
