Handmade deadcat for Rode Videomic Pro mcol3 2016-05-07 | Enough with wind noise!Making a deadcat for your microphone is really easy and cheap! I spent £2 for a piece of fur that is enough for about 6-7 of these (they wouldn't sell me a smaller piece). This is my very first attempt, and I'm very pleased with it, although the back is not quite as finished as I would like.On my initial testing, it works fine. Although the fur I got is ok, it would be better to have longer fur, to make it more reliable in strong wind. Still the way to build it is as easy as shown here."Jarvic 8" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

Panasonic 12-35mm 2.8 aperture blades fail mcol3 2015-11-04 | I just bought the Panasonic 12-35 f/2.8 new on eBay to be used with a Panasonic GH4. Unfortunately the aperture blades make a relatively loud ratchety sound (louder than the click of the aperture wheel).This happens only between f/2.8 and f/6.3 when in video mode, and throughout all the range of apertures when in M mode. This makes it very annoying for photographs but unusable for video shooting.
Aputure Amaran H528C - Unboxing and testing mcol3 2015-08-16 | Checking inside the bag.This is a nice and portable LED light which comes in a nice back to carry it around with all the other bits and pieces it needs to work. At the end I show all combinations of light intensity (10-99%) and colour temperature (3200K-5500K).Note that the H528C produces less light than the other available versions (H528S and H528W), as half the LED bulbs emit warm light while the other half emit daylight-balanced light."Lá Lá é Lé Lé" by Bohemios da CidadeLicensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0

M-Audio Oxygen 25 MKIV - Unboxing and Pro Tools setup fail mcol3 2015-03-14 | It should be easier than this.At first I had to work out several settings, none of which were documented in the instructions that came with the M-Audio Oxygen 25. The terribly distorted sound at the end was the best I could get for a while.Eventually I got it working, but it was not a simple plug-and-play procedure as claimed. I still have problems assigning the correct functions to the various knobs, but I haven't spent enough time to properly understand how to do it. Still, I'm quite sure that Pro Tools is doing its best to make life hard for the user.Music: "Theme for Harold (var. 1)" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

One Hundred Modern Classics - How Many Women Writers? mcol3 2014-12-08 | All those dudes.Browsing through one hundred postcards from Penguin's Modern Classics, a pattern appeared.It's obvious that these postcards are limited to the authors that Penguin publish in the Modern Classics collection, so they don't include women writers that appear in other of their collections or that are published by other publishers.Still, it can give the misleading impression that women writers are less talented or are less worthy of attention.Beside the issue of under-representation of women authors, there are clearly plenty of other biases there, which are worth discussing in the comments.This was inspired by No More Page 3 "THE EXPERIMENT" (youtube.com/watch?v=lNlKjUfmaUA).Music: "Sneaky Snitch" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0
