Hey guys,
Looking for a vintage/old-school camcorder (handycam type) in Guwahati at a reasonable price. Not looking for anything fancy, just something functional and retro vibe.

Any shops in Panbazar / Fancy / Lakhtokia side or anywhere in ghy? Even 2nd hand dealers or local contacts would help.

Also open to OLX/Facebook leads if you’ve seen any.
Thanks in advance 🙏 Also if anyone here wants to sell their old camcorder, please DM 🙏

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to this stuff so apologies if this is a basic question.

I’m trying to put together a budget external SSD setup and wanted a quick sanity check before I go ahead.

Plan is:

  • 1TB NVMe SSD (WD Blue SN570 / similar) — around ₹7,290
  • USB 3.2 Gen2 enclosure (~10Gbps) — around ₹1,000

Total comes to ~₹8.3k, which is cheaper than most branded external SSDs.

I’m planning to use it for:

  • Editing GoPro 4K footage
  • File transfers + backups

From what I understand, I should get around 900–1000 MB/s over USB, which seems decent compared to SATA.

Since I’m new, just wanted to check:

  • Does this kind of setup actually hold up for editing, or is it better just for storage?
  • Any issues I should expect (heating, throttling, disconnects, etc.)?
  • Is SATA SSD a better option at this budget, or is NVMe still worth it?

Not looking for high-end performance, just something reliable and usable.

Would really appreciate any advice or real-world experience. Thanks!

Ridden this bike everywhere:

  • 🏁 Rally racing
  • 🛣️ 500 km touring days
  • 🌄 Hardcore trails
  • 🏍️ MX practice

In short:
Super fun, cheap, and extremely capable. One of the best bikes in India right now!

Pros:

  • Crazy fun
  • Great off-road
  • Durable
  • 40 kmpl with stock exhaust

Cons:

  • Huge attention magnet, people stop you everywhere 😅
  • Hero service is horrid, better to go local/DIY

AMA 👍

Scouted this area recently, multiple lines, loose dirt, climbs, and some pretty rough sections. Not beginner-friendly.

Heading out this weekend if anyone wants to join. Prefer XPulse, Himalayan, or similar ADV bikes since parts of the trail get quite technical.

Comment or DM if you’re in.
