Good choice with the NAS - have been using a QNAP 4-bay for several years and am about to add another unit. I can then replicate from one to the other for increased data security

thanks for all the great videos btw - really useful for an amateur part-time snapper like me

but I would advise getting the NAS into a rack as soon as you can - even if its just a basic half height 19" rack

It looks better, but really its about the safety of your data - the reason you went for the NAS in the first place

In a rack, the NAS

can't fall off of anything
can't be knocked or in any other way physically easily damaged
is less likely to have the power lead knocked out/fall out while it is running
can be locked away/secured

Best Regards

Matt

Sony A7R VI - FIELD TESTED In Bangkok

Thursday, 09 July 2026 12:26

The Sony A7R6 is finally here — and I took it straight to Bangkok to see how far its new stacked sensor can really go. From temples to flower markets, torrential rain to low‑light portraits, this is the real‑world dynamic range test you’ve been waiting for.
