    Yes! Finally took the plunge into that world.

    My favorite style of photography is definitely the product shot. And since I tried talking all the photographers into using twitter more I might as well post them here too.
    Aaron Parecki
    That is very well lit! You should do a behind the scenes to show us how you make photos like that! ๐Ÿ“ธ

    I watch quite a lot of your videos, but to be honest, I really could care less about an Olympus TG-6. For me personally, itโ€™s the least interesting topic Iโ€™ve seen you cover. Maybe itโ€™s not a scheduling thing and just a topic others like me arenโ€™t interested in?

    OH. So not just for motion? The sound, smoke alarm, and CO alarm toggles all go to the cloud as well. I'll share your request for universal button with the team. Sorry for my confusion!
    Aaron Parecki
    I just want to make sure the footage isn't uploaded anywhere. None of these explanations give me much confidence ๐Ÿ˜† A button to specifically disable cloud recording would be great.

    Not competing with at all. Itโ€™s the anti-VidCon. This is a place for YouTubers to learn.
    Aaron Parecki
    that said, I'm very curious about Vidsummit, it looks interesting! I feel like Vidcon was a good crash course in Youtube for me, but I'm not sure I can justify two conferences in the same year tho.

    Vidcon has the whole creator and industry tracks which have zero to do with fans. It's sessions about making videos. The expo hall was all tracks combined, so it was a little funny to have the Sennheiser booth next to the M&M booth.

    Curious how many of my twitter friends are going to @vidsummit this yearโ€ฆ (if you ARE going, also comment below so I know who to look for!)
    Aaron Parecki
    I'd never heard of it before. They're clearly competing with Vidcon with their home page copy! ๐Ÿ˜‚ "VidSummit is NOT a place where influencers connect with their fans."

    Amazing! Did you get any funny questions from the crew or was it pretty straightforward?

    Thanks for your feedback! Do you have a specific link that I can send the team to look at?

    To turn off cloud recording, turn off the motion detection. That's the only toggle for that particular aspect. You can still use continuous recording to a microSD card afterward.
    Aaron Parecki
    Thanks! That's much simpler than it apparently used to be!

    Can we get a toggle that completely disables cloud uploading/recording?

    The references for how to disable cloud recording by turning off a bunch of switches don't match up with the latest version of the app!

    US-based international travelers! What phone carrier do you use for data abroad and how do you like it? With the merger of @Sprint & @TMobile I am considering other options like @googlefi or other major US carriers. Has it been seemless, is it possible to get data unthrottled?
    Aaron Parecki
    I use GigSky with my iPhone's virtual SIM! It's so nice that I don't have to swap SIM cards, and their rates are not the cheapest but totally reasonable, and it's just so so easy. I never think about it anymore.

    Now the real struggle begins. Hitting one whole month. Honestly I canโ€™t remember the last time Iโ€™ve made it 30 days without buying a camera ๐Ÿคฃ

    Days since last camera purchase: 11

    @aaronpk I'm guessing you use that Live thing and then select the frame you want. Not something I generally do when I'm snapping, but I might try and remember in future.

    Aaron Parecki
    Even simpler, I just recorded a video until I saw a flash, then stop the video and find the frame! Then I use a video editing app to export the single frame from the video.

    Ikea Dimpa...perfect size, $4.99. Getting one tonight and taking a chance. Worst that happens my bike gets squashed, falls off the plane, destroys a small town.

    Dang. I think I may try the ikea bag method and bring it as a carry-on. It's supposed to fit in the overhead bins.
    Aaron Parecki
    Like in a giant blue bag? That's a thought! My only worry is some planes have the super small overhead and it won't fit, and then they'll want to gate check it.
