How many frames are you up to now on a normal night? Once I hit around 80 subs it felt like the color just fell out of the picture, and going past that with even 10 second shots kept helping way more than any gear upgrade ever did for me.

Wait, a tool lending closet?? You can just borrow like a drill or something with a library card? That is blowing my mind right now.

Picked up a used stump grinder last spring for $2,800 because I swore it would pay for itself in a month. It chewed through two stumps in my yard and then the belt snapped, bearings went bad, thing sat in the corner of my garage looking at me for eight months. My neighbor paid a guy $300 to grind his stumps and was done in an afternoon while I was watching YouTube videos trying to figure out how to fix mine. Sold it for $900 this summer and felt lucky. Buying the tool always feels smarter than renting it until you're the one stuck with it.
