I have been slowly trying to make my desk setup less ugly for short videos and occasional livestreams.

Not trying to build some huge creator studio. I just want something cleaner than laptop webcam and less annoying than setting up a mirrorless every time.

Has anyone here used a pocket cam or small gimbal cam as a second angle?

I was looking at Pocket 3 but also saw XTRA Muse and it seems like a cheaper way to test the idea. Mostly thinking overhead product shots, talking head backup angle, maybe some bts clips while editing.

I know mirrorless will look better, but the point is I might actually use the smaller thing more often.

Curious if anyone has tried this kind of setup. Is it actually useful or just another gadget sitting on the desk?

Planning my winter backup for a small off grid cabin and trying to avoid mistakes I made before with generator compatibility. Some LFP stations can be really picky with AC input and I dont want to deal with constant errors. Been looking at the OSCAL PowerMax 3600SE but still unsure how tolerant it is.

My generator is a dual fuel inverter type (2200W) and while its decent, it’s not a perfect sine wave all the time. I've had power stations in the past throw ground faults or just refuse to charge. If anyone has actually tested this combo, I would really like to hear real experience.

On the solar side, I have a couple of 400W panels. Planning a basic series parallel setup but staying under 1600W. Just not sure if this unit needs special cables or if standard MC4 is fine. I saw a thread on bulgarian .llc discussing the exact wiring for this model which was helpful, but I’m still wary of the total input claims.

Anyone running these with a portable inverter gen?
