Ugh, that's the worst feeling! But honestly, how much of your new routine is about the gear versus the space itself? Like, are you now wiping down the whole bathroom floor first, or did you go buy one of those tiny tabletop darkroom tents? Or did you just give up and start doing all your loading at the campus lab instead?

Man, @lisa671 is right, that kind of clearance is a total nail-biter. Been there watching a load drift near glass on a high floor, just praying the wind doesn't gust. Saving that setup time is a huge win, but man, those last few feet feel like they take forever.

So what's the next easy fix on your list?

That "tin can full of rocks" sound is so real. I had the same thing happen on a board with an aluminum plate. I just use a thick dielectric grease on the wires now, which is way faster than the holee mod for me. It kills almost all the rattle and only takes a few minutes per stab. What kind of grease do you use?

My old iPad Pro only has 32GB of storage. Saving locally first would fill that up in about five minutes of video work.
