metal wire and rubber band on gimbal - old fix on new technology :p
 
user202362
until I am back from this trip, then maybe consider buy new gimbal

@TelautonomousKitty How much is a new gimbal?
 
user202362
$60-$100
 
user202362
camera is functioning, so is the transmitter
 
user202362
just the gimbal that does not roll or spin

@TelautonomousKitty Which camera is it?

@TelautonomousKitty Ah, a GoPro clone. I recently purchased the Sony action camera because Sony considered other uses of their camera, and equipped it with features like a built-in microphone input and a live-view remote. They even included a finger grip attachment to attach both the camera and remote together into a camcorder-like setup
With that camera, you don't need a gimbal
By the way @JourneymanGeek I discovered how to get free Wi-Fi on Alaska due to a glitch
 
user202362
1:38 AM
gimbal is needed so you can aim the cam on then drone in your direction when taking a picture at a scenic place from above :p
 
user202362
most action camera you can live view from remote, I have another inexpensive action camera that I can do that from a phone
 
user202362
but with this one and its transmitter, the seller claim the receiver/transmitter is able to communicate up to 2km

there is power to gimbal, the indicator light is on

So they're from the same ID space, but Channel IDs start at 10000, assuming site IDs will never reach that high.

@Catija Well, NEO Blockchain was quite speedily approved but ended up failing. The arguments for keeping the site were very much based on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CRYSTALBALL

I suppose that failed (closed) sites still use up a site id, but I didn't check.

Reusing Id is generally a bad idea.

@FTP Except that it makes it pretty much impossible to merge two sites together... which is part of why the Crypto sites problem is a problem.

@Ano it is because the explicit write access given by moderator, so it means this user is trusted.
It's somewhat confusing since the access is per-room, e.g. @Pseudohuman can't post here, but still... having a diamond mod give access means it's not a spammer or troll, so it makes sense to show the avatar.
And the avatar was anonymous until it got that write access, I'm sure of that since Pseudohuman lurked a lot in the Den.
Probably @Jenna asked some CM to give the bot write access at some point.
(RO can't give write access to users with less than 20 rep)
As for pings, I'm with you @Ano and also prefer replies and don't care for the pings, but also understand and respect the other views here which find pings annoying, so better try and not Reply to Shog (or the others) unless really necessary. Which is indeed a pain sometimes, but better be safe than sorry.... we don't want to make Shog angry.... ;)
Those who love pings, like @M.A.R., @PrincessLuna, @YvetteColomb, @Oded (I think ;)), @Bart, @Nog, @Jenna, @Fawad, and you @Ano are pretty rare. Maybe we should make a list somewhere... or add a field to chat profile.... :D

Are the final questions that go into the moderator Q/A for elections always based on votes or does the CM team makes a selection based on votes AND judgement? I mean my 2017 question didn't make it because the functionality I asked about changed midway. My 2018 one has a serious amount of down votes while still maintaining a postive score and currently ranked 5th
