How to Travel by Plane with Photography Gear as an Advanced Hobbyist or Semi Professional

createthis 2019-04-02 | Watch to learn how I travel on planes with my photography equipment as an advanced hobbyist or semi professional. I make a little money here and there, but photography is not my primary income. As such, photography is usually a secondary goal of my trips. I think I have a unique kit and I wanted to share it. More specifically, this video describes my chosen baggage on a ski vacation to Banff in Canada with a secondary goal of photography.

Quanum Overlord Antenna Testing

createthis 2018-05-03 | Quanum Overlord with stock blue 13 dbi 30 degree antennas vs Quanum Overlord with X-Air (pronounced "crosshair", but I still call them "ex-air") 10 dbi 68 degree antennas.

This may not be the best test since I'm testing in close quarters and basically testing how well I can "see" through objects.

Sorry, no audio in my goggle feed. I should really fix that.

Battery life with this setup was pretty terrible. Everything was more than 50% drained after flying four 450mah batteries and one 850mah battery [flown in the video]. Portability suffers greatly too, but this setup may have it's uses. Bonus: Having a dedicated monitor for passersby to watch is nice.

Greenworks 80v Chainsaw vs Stihl Farm Boss 290

createthis 2017-08-26 | Greenworks 80v Chainsaw vs Stihl Farm Boss 290

UPDATE: The chain on the Stihl saw is a semi safety chain after all. I think it's an RM3 semi chisel.

UPDATE 2: I think the bar on the Stihl was hot due to the anemic oiler on the MS290. I've adjusted the oiler screw to wide open. Hopefully that will help in the future.
