![]() ![]() Q: Can I drill new mounting holes in my gear box?Ī: This is not a good idea. Look in the Fit List or Fit My Car online to see if the SkyBox/RocketBox boxes are options in the list of accessories for your vehicle. We need to consider weight capacity, crossbar spread, hatch clearance and other factors to answer that. Look in the Fit List or Fit My Car online to see if the SkyBox/RocketBox boxes are options in the list of accessories for your vehicle.Ī: Different vehicles have different capacities. We have also redesigned the mounting hardware to fit a variety of different crossbar shapes. Light weight is important because the lighter the box is, the more weight you can put into it because vehicles can only support so much weight on the roof.Ī: We have done extensive testing on factory racks to see which ones are strong enough to handle a luggage box. We use ABS instead of fiberglass because it is lighter and less expensive, while still being really strong (=maximum value). ![]() While I haven’t tested Yakima’s entire lineup of roof boxes, like the premium CBX, I can say the SkyBox ticks all the boxes - it’s secure on the road void of any annoying wind noise, surprisingly stows more than enough extra gear, isn’t heavy at all, is easy to install and remove, actually looks really nice and refined on any SUV’s roof, and is priced reasonably for all the advantages if offers. Just make sure you have enough space to store it when not in use.ĭesigned and produced in the USA with up to 80% recycled material, the SkyBox 16 Carbonite currently sells for $849.99 on Yakima’s website, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.A: ABS Plastic. Whether it’s a sedan with a few snowboards up top, or a full-size SUV seeking all the extra cargo space it can get, Yakima offers a wide range of products at a low, medium, and premium price points. But once you discover the joys of extra cargo space, where no gear gets left behind (and no children are crying) and you hit the road with that confidence and stress-free departure, the value of owning one makes a lot of sense. Quality roof boxes like the SkyBox series from Yakima won’t come cheap. Yakima has been in the roof box game for a long time, so this refinement in style and function comes as no big surprise. The overall look is ultra-aerodynamic but is really designed to reduce drag. Even at high speeds, there was very little wind noise to be had. Quiet on the roadĪgain, I wasn’t sure what a box on my SUV’s roof would sound like on the highway. For everyone else, it’s not a big deal and can sit upright in the garage corner without any problems.įor installation, minimum and maximum crossbar spreads are 24” – 36” and fits Yakima round, square, factory, and aerodynamic bars. Only downside when it’s not installed: where do you put? This box is very fairly big and long at 81-inches small garages may have an issue. ![]() Our vehicle here has factory-provided roof rails so the install was quick, with the box easily sitting on the rails and secured by large clamps. And the looks of the SkyBox 16 are deceiving, weighing only 47 pounds it appears to weight 3 times that, so it’s not heavy for a pair of adults to manage. There is zero assembly and no tools required to get this big boy up top either, so installing and removing it is easy with two adults. Getting into the box is easy, so is the latch system with key. The box is designed with internal lid stiffeners for durability and easy open and close, plus it offers dual-sided openings for easy access on either side of the vehicle, which turned out to be handier than we expected. Plus, the tapered design reduces hatch interference while the SuperLatch security ensures the lid is secure to its base. Much of this is courtesy of the box’s 15-inch height, allowing things to be stacked. Not having to strategically jam and Tetris all our gear into the trunk was refreshing - it was nice to have some extra trunk space without needing to leave anything behind. For an overnight camping trip, we managed to reasonably stow a great deal of stuff up there - from sleeping bags to firewood.

![]() ![]() SOS Technical Editor Hugh Robjohns replies: The VU meter (and the PPM) are analogue tools designed for the analogue world. I think I remember reading that VU meters didn't respond to high transients very well, hence going into the red, so that would make sense.Via SOS web site If my aim is to have the average level around or slightly above 0VU, I take it that going into the red is OK, as long as the average level is around 0VU. I am fine with the VU meter showing gain reduction on a compressor, but when it comes to the output reading - for example, +4dB or +10dB on the same compressor - I am not sure for what I am aiming for, output-wise? Am I right in thinking that the nominal operating level should be averaging at around 0VU?Also, I think I need to catch up on my dBus and my dBFSs.

The species is currently considered to be extinct, though it needs more evidence in support of this declaration. After goat removal, all three species recovered, and recovery of vegetation in general as the goats were reduced in numbers, was rapid. Pinta Island Tortoise was a species of giant tortoise found on Pinta Island in Ecuador. In 1988 goats were no longer present in the vegetated parts on Pinta where permanent 10 x 10 m quadrats (established in 1966) were located.ĭata show that goats had a serious detrimental impact on native plants, the endemic Scalesia and Opuntia, and the native Bursera graveolens (Burseraceae) where particularly badly affected, with stands of Scalesia and Opuntia close to a complete collapse Bursera appeared more resilient, surviving longer without new recruitment. ![]() Vegetation monitoring: Following earlier studies, in 1988 an expedition was made to Pinta in order to monitor vegetation changes in response to eradaction of almost all goats. In total, the park wardens shot about 40,000 goats during the 20 year period. The GNPS therefore initiated a goat eradication campaign in the early 1970’s which continued until 1990, when finally all goats had been removed. Most unexpectedly, the lone survivor of the abingdoni subspecies from Pinta Island (Lonesome George) is very closely related to tortoises from San. It was foreseen that unless goats were eradicated or at least controlled, the plant communities would suffer perhaps irreversible changes within a short time. Goat eradication: Goats introduced around 1959 or perhaps 5 years earlier, were preventing regeneration of vegetation and leading to the near-collapse and extinction of several plant species. The death of Lonesome George, the last known purebred individual of Chelonoidis abingdoni native to Pinta Island, marked the extinction of one of 10 surviving giant tortoise species from the Galápagos Archipelago. Of the 176 native taxa, at least 19 are considered rare on an archipelago scale. Of the 180 higher plants known from Pinta, 59 are endemic to, Galápagos, 117 are indigenous, and only four are considered weeds (early accidental introductions). Study area: Pinta in the northern Galápagos archipelago (Ecuador) covers about 59 km² and reaches an altitude of 650 m. During eradication, the responses of the vegetation were monitored. In the early 1970s the Galápagos National Park Service (GNPS) initiated a goat eradication campaign in 1990 the last goats were removed, with an estimated 40,000 killed. galapageia (Cactaceae) were close to extinction. hopkinsii (Asteraceae) and Opuntia galapageia var. Data on vegetational changes on Pinta from 1970 to 1988, show that feral goats had opened up the forest and shrubland with some plants being severely effected e.g. ![]() ![]() In the 1950s goats Capra hircus were introduced and multiplied rapidly, soon having a very detrimental impact on the vegetation. The flora of the uninhabited island of Pinta in the Galápagos is extremely rich compared to other small islands in the archipelago. ![]() ![]() ![]() We often find ourselves muttering " How are these graphics so good?" every time the on-screen character moves around the next corner or into that wide-open field, grass waving in the wind. Historically, every new console generation has delivered a certain wow factor the first time you play it. You don't need external sensors or cameras, nothing to power the thing (other than a full battery, of course), and nothing else to experience amazing VR anywhere you want. The box comes with everything you need to play: the Meta Quest 2 headset, two controllers, a USB Type-C cable, and a charging adapter to plug into an outlet. In general, you'll be getting your games and apps from the official Oculus Store, which can be accessed either on the Quest 2 or via the Oculus app on your smartphone. It's a lot less intimidating than that might make it sound. If you choose a standing (room-scale) experience, you'll be asked to use your controller (and the built-in cameras) to draw safe boundaries around your room so that you don't crash into anything valuable. Once you've logged in, you'll need to decide if you want to experience VR while standing or seated. The first time you turn on your Oculus Quest 2, you'll need to sign in with a Meta account using the Meta Quest app on your smartphone. It doesn't require a TV, but it can display a flat version of what's happening in VR by casting to popular smart TVs, Google Cast devices, Facebook smart displays, and even via the Meta Quest app on smartphones or tablets so that everyone in the room can see what's happening. Like a PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, the Oculus Quest 2 is a standalone console designed with VR in mind. If you've never used the original Oculus Quest (or played anything in VR), here's the lowdown. They've even got their own Snapdragon processor inside and use three cameras to track themselves, eliminating dead zones the Quest 2 controllers have while tracking. These new controllers improve tracking performance and come with new features like better haptics, index finger tracking, a stylus tip on one end, and the promise of more features over time. Meta will soon be selling Meta Quest Touch Pro controllers for $299 which work with Quest 2 headsets. Thankfully, Meta got rid of the old 64GB model in August 2021 and only sells models with 128GB or 256GB of storage. ![]() The largest Oculus Quest 2 games can be 12GB or larger after installation, and you'll want to be sure you have enough space free to keep them updated. Most games average 1-2GB in size, but there are plenty of notable exceptions to this. Games, on average, cost between $10 and $30, with some exceptions outside of that range. ![]() You can either browse the shop in the headset on the Oculus website or with the Oculus app on your smartphone. Oculus Quest 2 games are obtained through the Oculus Store and downloaded directly to the headset. Both models are only sold in a white colorway, and neither model supports any kind of expandable storage, so be sure to get the model that has enough storage to hold your games. The Oculus Quest 2 with 128GB of internal storage retails for $399, while the Oculus Quest 2 with 256GB of internal storage retails for $499. Pending some initial stock difficulties, the Quest 2 has been widely available throughout its time on the market - unlike the original Oculus Quest, which was very difficult to obtain throughout its 18-month retail lifespan. The Oculus Quest 2 launched on October 13, 2020, and is sold at all major retailers.
