Yeah that tracks - One more thing to try: kitchen outlets often have a little Reset button (GFCI); if that’s tripped, the blender will seem dead, so press Reset on the outlet or the breaker. Peel off any clear shipping tape or cardboard spacers and rotate the pitcher and lid until they click or the arrows line up, then press Power to “wake” it before selecting a speed; unplug for a minute and try that sequence. If a lamp works in the same outlet and these don’t help, it’s likely an interlock alignment issue or a dud.

If you’re open to used or refurb a GoPro Hero 9/10 or DJI Osmo Action 3 will usually beat any new sub-$200 cam for stabilization, with solid EIS and horizon leveling at higher frame rates but then if you go budget-new, pick one that records gyro data so you can run Gyroflow later; it can outperform in‑camera EIS on rough trails. Also try 60 fps with a matching ND to keep shutter around 1/120 and use a Linear FOV to reduce wobble at the edges.

Had a yoga teacher stop class because my knees popped so loud someone thought a bag ripped open. We all laughed, I turned beet red, then finished class and the knees were fine, just dramatic. That crackle is often just gas bubbles and tendons sliding, super normal when you've been sitting. I hype my warm up now with a silly dance and some marching, and the popcorn drops to a whisper. Focus on heels grounded, knees tracking clean, and squeeze your butt on the way up. If you ever get pain or swelling, then switch from party mode to caution and talk to a pro.
