Was it too good? Original Apple Watch Ultra after two years of daily use!
Просмотров 464Месяц назад
The Apple Watch Ultra has now been around for two years. Yet on its third refresh cycle, the only thing Apple changed was its colour, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 was only a minor improvement on the original. So how has my Apple Watch Ultra survived two years on my wrist. In this two year long-term review I discuss build quality, (aggravating) software changes and issues I've run into. Watch the...

How I wasted £500 on a self-levelling tripod - Benro Theta Fail
Просмотров 833Месяц назад
The Benro Theta and Theta Max tripod were something of a revelation when I saw them advertised in 2023. 1.25 Kg weight, 44cm maximum height and automatically self-levelling. Fantastic.

Leica D-Lux 8 Review - When simplification is key to success
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
The Leica D-LUX 8 is not cheap. At £1450, it is one of the most premium compact digital cameras available. When we remember that the D-Lux 8 is based on the admittedly older D-Lux 7 platform, which itself is based on the 2018 Panasonic LX-100 II, then you have the question if this 'new' camera is truly good value. Yet when you take a closer look, this reimagined camera with its Micro Four-Third...

    I'm debating on the Z6iii vs Z8 for my second camera (I have Z8). Two things make me consider the Z6iii, Higher native ISO, Better Lo-Light performance, and better viewfinder for low-light. Events and weddings are things I shoot the most, but astrophotography is fun too. Some of those weddings and events at nights are low light and I'm thinking the Z6iii is the better camera for by second body. Plus, occasionally, I am asked to take few videos too. What are your thoughts on this?

  • @calvinlanz7046
    @calvinlanz7046 День назад

    just as a heads up, your video is -13 db quieter than is normal for youtube, that is a substantial drop in volume to my previous video. good quality but could be a lot louder

    • @HamerReviews
      @HamerReviews День назад

      That’s actually really interesting! Any idea how you referenced it being quieter as I’d love to tackle this as I haven’t looked at overall volume before to be honest!

    • @calvinlanz7046
      @calvinlanz7046 День назад

      @@HamerReviews Sure thing! If you right click any video on youtube you can then click on "stats for nerds". If you then consult the 4th line "Volume/Normalized" you can see that the first percentage (Volume) shows how much the volume slider is turned up, and the second, more interesting percentage (normalized), is how much youtube turned down your video because it crossed over their threashold of -14 LUFS. If you dont know what LUFS are it is basically just a measurement of percieved loudness over time. Next to those percentages you have "content loudness" and then a number so in your case for this video -13.7, meaning your video is -13.7dB quieter than what it could be, before youtube turns it down. To measure LUFS you can use the free version of the VST Youlean Loudness meter. Just have like a minute of video run through it and it will tell you the integrated loudness, the one that youtube will look at. Aim that that sits at around -14 LUFS. If you cannot reach that by simply turning up the audio through gain, without clipping, or going over 0dB of course, then you can achieve higher LUFS by means of compression or limiting. If you need more guidance with that I would be more than happy to take a look at some of your audio and tell you how to get there. Hope this helps!

    • @calvinlanz7046
      @calvinlanz7046 День назад

      Yes so i just downloaded your video and the issue it is very dynamic, so a lot of difference between quiet and louder spikes in audio. How to get it from -29LUFS to around 14 LUFS is to add a compressor that compresses around 3-5 dB at the loudest parts of the audio and then followed by a limiter adding around 15-19 dB of gain. If you let me know which software you are using to edit your videos i can also give you specifics on the exact settings with the specific devices.

    • @HamerReviews
      @HamerReviews День назад

      That’s so helpful, thank you! I’m not terribly surprised to hear it’s dynamic - it’s one of the pitfalls of using a lav mic but it sounds like you’re workaround / fix would work perfectly - I’ll look at changing this in future videos. I use premiere mostly - even to edit audio though sometimes I use audition if I screwed something up (but I’m much more comfortable with premiere)

    • @calvinlanz7046
      @calvinlanz7046 День назад

      @@HamerReviews great! so in premiere you want to navigate to the audio track mixer of your project and, either on the "mix" channel which will affect every track in the project or just on your specific vocal track add the following: EDIT: to be able to access this section you need to find the little arrow in the top left corner of the audio track mixer In the top most slot any sort of eq you might do. In the second slot navigate to "amplitude and compression" and find "dynamics". Open it up by double clicking it and check the compression check box to enable it. Set the "ratio" to 4, set the "Attack" to 5, the "Release" it at 50, and then start decreasing the "Threshhold" knob until you see 2-4 red lines appear. If some big spikes go over that its no problem, just on average it should be this. for this current video i found this to be achieved at -22 dB. In the third slot navigate to "amplitude and compression" and find "Hard limiter". Choose the preset "Limit to -3 dB" (this maximum amplitude is generally advisable as some artifacting can occur when youtube compresses the signal for their platform, so to avoid distortion and artifacting, you leave a bit of headroom). Then set the "input boost" to 20 dB for starters. In the fourth slot put Youlean loudness meter, which can be found under vst > effect > youlean or vst3 > analyzer > youlean. Double click the vst and let the audio run for a minute, then check the integrated LUFS measurement. In this case it sits nicely at -14.4 LUFS. EDIT: if you are below or over this value, simply go back to the limiter and adjust the input boost up or down a couple of dB and check again. And thats it. You might find that once you have completed this chain, you would like to add another eq after the fact, since some frequencies can be brought out after limiting to tackle the low end a bit, but that is up to your preference. Let me know if you would like to know anything else or if you need assistance with finding the right eq for your voice recording!

    I got a DHL Express shipping notification on Thursday for a package from Hong Kong even though Benro claimed I was supposed to get a package from the latest shipment to the US that had "just arrived". None of this made sense until someone posted a link to the PetaPixel article about this Kickstarter the very next day. At the end of the article it mentions people in the US can get a refund if they email BenroUSA which is a separate entity. I asked for a refund back in March and gave up because I assumed they'd never give me an actual refund. All I can figure out is they wanted to get some tripods shipped out to some disgruntled people in the US ahead of the article being published so those people wouldn't ask BenroUSA for a refund.

    CFeB (CFexpress type B), is a Nvme SSD m.2 2230 (same as the storage in the newer laptops). in a converter to CFeB so it fits directly into the camera motherboard. From that point its up to Nikon to configure the bandwidth through update. Reason you can't see the difference on you mac or PC is because of the limitations on your USB 3.x. Speed you get with newer generations of USB is either 500MB/s, 1GB/s or 2GB/s. I have a PCIE gen 4 and I can get around 7GB/s when the Nvme is plugged directly in the motherboard. You are actually just testing the buffer size when you are hold down the shutter button and gave NO time for it to transfer the data to the card. The XQD/CFeB only kicks in when the the data is transferring to the card. Usually that happens in between shooting. If you want to shoot 70 frames RAW on the buffer you will need the buffer from Z9 not a fast XQD or CFeB, or reduce the capture to JPEG and you can click that button all day as long as your buffer can capture and transfer it. Taking RAW videos would be a better test. Say set your video compression to 300MB/s and 600MB/s that's when you see the difference. ie. if your XQD is on 400MB/s then you are good for 300MB rate (10 seconds uses 3GB so 64GB XQD doesn't get you much), if you choose a compression that is 600MB/s rate your XQD will not keep up. That's when the 1000MB/s CFeB comes in.

      I don't disagree with anything you've said. But I do stand by the point I made which is that with these cameras you ended up with better performance using an XQD over CFE. This was no longer the case with the Z6 II / Z 7II, or any of the other cameras. At the time this was published, it was an interesting quirk.

    Nice overview! These batteries look interesting, but one thing I'm curious about: The AAA Recharge Pro only claim 150 recharge cycles, as opposed to 500 for the Eneloop Pro. I have confidnce these will be decent, (I've just ordered a pack), but any particular reason for such such a conservative number?

    I didn't have the same back and forth experience but like everyone else, I really trusted the company's reputation as I had great experiences with their products up until this kickstarter. I had completely forgotten about the project and reached out once. they promptly responded and sent me one within a day but like most are reporting it's not what was promised. while the build quality seems solid, it's really, really heavy and look entirely different from the original concepts.

    I only backed because Benro has been making tripods for 30 years and assumed they had all of the design work done like they claimed. Never had a problem with Peak Design kickstarters. It's mind boggling an established company would do something this brazen.

    I was an earlier backer (in the 300s) of the Theta Max. I thought it was an interesting concept, particularly for astrophotography, but started to have my doubts on their ability to deliver sometime in November of 2023. Luckily, I managed to get a refund in March of 2024, but only by raising a big stink about possibly filing a class action lawsuit. And this point, I think legal action is the only way someone is going to get any money from them--they've pretty much ghosted everyone who has been asking for one for months. Based on my experience, I will never buy another Benro product. Thanks for sharing your experience. I think it's helpful for other people to know about this outside of Kickstarter and the Facebook group!

    • @HamerReviews

      Yep, same, I’d looked at Benro’s other video tripods at the photography expo earlier this year and like the look of them. To the extent I thought I’d buy one. Not now though. No chance I’ll ever give them more of my money.

    I joined the Kickstarter also, but while I put up with the lies and deception for a while, I did manage to get a refund. I'm glad that I did, since I backed the Max version which is still not shipping. But once it became clear that Benro claimed that they were charging for shipping before they were even done with the design process and the tripods were 700 grams heavier than they claimed that their prototypes were, I lost patience. I hope you succeed in getting your refund.
