How do I sync my Amazon cart across multiple devices?

Ahmedwogue — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:26:53 +0000

I'm currently kitting out my new home studio before next month and my budget is around $1200. The weirdest thing is happening though. I'll add a bunch of cable organizers and soundproofing foam on the Amazon app on my iPhone while I'm on the train, but then when I log in on my laptop at home the cart is just empty or has stuff from like a week ago. I read online that it should sync automatically if I'm on the same account, but some forum posts say the mobile app handles "saved for later" differently which confuses the desktop site. I'm just lost why it's so inconsistent. Is there a trick to force a sync?

Which Sony headphones are best for professional studio mixing?

Pinebaby — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 03:27:21 +0000

I really need to know which Sony headphones are actually the industry standard for professional studio mixing right now. I just got my first paid gig scoring an indie short film and I have about $400 to drop on a solid pair of cans by next Tuesday so Im super hyped!

I spent all morning looking at the MDR-7506s since they are legendary, but then I saw some people trashing them for being too bright for mixing and saying the MDR-MV1 are better for spatial stuff. But the MV1 is open back and my room is kinda noisy so I dont know if that will ruin my levels or if the 7506 is still the way to go?

Which app provides the best price drop alerts for Amazon.de?

ADP-223 — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 01:26:51 +0000

trying to track prices on Amazon.de for a Sage Barista Express for my sisters wedding in August and my budget is super tight so I need to snag it at the absolute lowest price. Ive been looking at Keepa and CamelCamelCamel but Im torn between the two. Keepa seems way more detailed but maybe too complex while Camel is kinda simpler but I dont know if the alerts are fast enough. I also heard Hagglezon is good for comparing but I mostly care about the German site for easy shipping. My main needs are:

super reliable push alerts on my phone (emails always get buried)

free or very cheap since I'm broke lol

accurate price history graphs

Is Keepa actually better for the German market or is there something else I should be using?...

What is the best tool for tracking Amazon price history?

Josephdok — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 21:28:07 +0000

I really need to buy this Ninja Creami thing for my sisters birthday next week because she really wants it but I swear the price just jumped like thirty dollars overnight?? Its so frustrating and I feel like im being tricked by the website or something. I was looking at it yesterday and it was cheaper and now its way more expensive and I only have about 150 bucks to spend total for the whole gift.

So I was thinking there has to be a way to see what the price used to be right? My logic was that if I could see a graph or something I could tell if this is a normal price or if I should wait a few days but honestly I have no idea where to start or if that even exists. I saw someone mention something called Camel or something like that once? Or maybe it was a panda? I dont know I get so confused with these tech things and im always scared im gonna download a virus if I click the wrong thing in the chrome store. Sorry if this is a totally dumb question but I'm just so lost with this.

Is there like a safe way for a total beginner to just see the history of a price on amazon? I dont want to do anything complicated or code anything I just want to know if im getting a bad deal right now before I hit the checkout button. Does anyone know what the actual best one is that wont break my computer... I really need to get this ordered by tomorrow so it gets here in time for the party.

Which external monitor works best for a Sony FX30 filmmaking setup?

BigrecalImabe — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 21:26:45 +0000

Which monitor is actually going to work with my Sony FX30 because I honestly have no idea what I am doing and I feel like I am going to mess up my first big shoot.

I just bought the FX30 because everyone said it was the best camera for people starting out but the screen on the back is so tiny and I can barely see if things are in focus or not. Im supposed to film my cousins wedding in like three weeks here in Chicago and I am panicking because I cant see anything when I go outside in the sun. I heard I need an external monitor but when I look online there are so many options like Shinobi or Feelworld or Ninja something?? I dont even know what the difference is or if they come with cables and stuff or if I have to buy those separate.

I only have about $250 or maybe $300 left in my budget after buying the camera and a lens so I cant afford anything super expensive. Do I need one that records or just one that shows the picture? Someone mentioned something about nits for brightness but I dont know how many nits is enough for a sunny day outside. Also does the monitor drain the camera battery or does it have its own? I am really sorry if these are such basic questions I just dont want to ruin the wedding videos because I couldnt see the screen...

How can I set price alerts using Amazon price history tools?

Edwardcutle — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:26:49 +0000

How do I actually set up price alerts using those history tools so I don't miss a deal on my phone? Im finally building my first real gaming rig and I am so hyped to get it finished by the end of the month!!

I checked out CamelCamelCamel and Keepa because everyone says theyre the best but I'm getting mixed signals. One guide said I need a paid sub for fast alerts but another said the free version is fine as long as I don't mind a delay. Im trying to snag an RTX 4070 for under $550 and every time I check manually the price has already jumped back up. Do I need to leave a tab open or is there a way to get a push notification the second it hits my target price?...

Top-rated external monitors for Sony a7S III filmmaking?

Dysonrey — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 15:26:24 +0000

ive got a wedding shoot this sunday in orlando and its gonna be brutal in that sun so i really need an external monitor for my a7S III like right now. my budget is capped at $500 which makes it tricky. i was looking at the atomos ninja v because everyone talks about it but then i saw people saying it gets super hot and the fan is loud. then i saw the portkeys lh5p II which has the camera control stuff but im worried the UI is a mess. my logic was the ninja is the safe bet for color but if im just using it for framing and focus in bright daylight maybe there is something better? i just need something that wont die in the heat or wash out completely...

Are there any free extensions to share Amazon cart links?

Rinmit — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 13:26:54 +0000

Look I'm literally panicking right now because I have about three hours before this massive sale ends and I've got like 52 items in my Amazon cart for our local animal shelter's annual supply drive. I'm in Austin and we're trying to maximize the budget which is super tight this year so every dollar counts and we're trying to get all the bulk kibble and crates while they're marked down. I basically have to get every single item approved by the board treasurer before I can actually put it on the company card and there is no way I'm manually copy pasting 52 links into an email or a google doc i just dont have the time for that and she'll probably lose the list anyway. I've been googling like crazy and I found two main options but I'm stuck on which one to go with because I'm terrified of getting scammed or having to pay some hidden subscription fee at the last second when the timer is running out. I'm looking at 'Share-A-Cart' which seems to be the big one everyone talks about but then I also saw one called 'Cart2Cart' on the chrome store and then there is this other one called 'Basket' that says it does the same thing. My main issue is that the treasurer is super old school and basically tech illiterate so it needs to be something where I can just send her one link and she can see everything without her having to install a bunch of junk on her computer too. I'm leaning toward Share-A-Cart because it has way more reviews but some of the recent ones say it's been glitchy with the new Amazon layout changes and I can't risk it failing right when I need it. Plus I'm not sure if these things actually keep the cart synced if I add one more thing at the last minute or if I have to generate a whole new link. Has anyone used these recently like in the last month or so? Is there a better free one I'm missing that doesn't require a login or is one of these two definitely the way to go?

What is the easiest way to share an Amazon shopping list?

Which prime lens is best for portraits on Sony a7C II?

TonybeckHieta — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 09:26:50 +0000

So I just grabbed the a7cii and I'm trying to figure out which prime to commit to for a family portrait session I have coming up in two weeks. I want something that doesnt look ridiculous on such a small body but still gives that professional look. I'm basically stuck between the Sony 85mm f1.8 and the newer Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art.

My main concerns are:

Budget is strictly under $1000

Needs to be light enough for all-day handheld shooting

Looking for that creamy background blur for headshots

The 85mm seems like the smart choice for the price but I keep hearing the Sigma has better colors. Is the Sigma gonna be way too big for the C series body or should I just go for the smaller lens?...
