23Mar More Bluetooth Wireless audio testing.
I’ve spent a few hours off and on over the last few nights running tests on that Bluetooth wireless audio setup and I’ve discovered two problem. Both of which are in the Bluetooth transmitter. The first is that the noise is actually coming from the transmitter. Here are some audio samples. One from my phone’s […]
21Mar Turn an unbalanced mono jack into a stereo output.
Audio pictured above Dave Knop from QuickFX pointed out to me that some of the lower price editing programs like iMovie and Windows Movie maker don’t have much in the form of audio control. This isn’t to much of a problem if you’re using the in camera microphone but can be a real hassle if […]
20Mar Bluetooth test with a Lavalier
I don’t normally do two videos in one day, but I received so many request for a test using a lavalier with the Bluetooth transmitter setup that I decided to give it a try. It hadn’t accrued to me that this could be used as a lavalier setup since most of my plans focused around the stereo […]
20Mar $35 wireless Bluetooth setup, and it works great!
I’ve been waiting to post this for more then a week. The first Bluetooth transmitter I received was defective and I had to send it back. The seller was kind enough to cover return shipping, but the back and forth took awhile. I finally received the working Bluetooth transmitter a few days ago and had a chance to […]
18Mar Haier 7″ HLT71 LCD monitor out in the wild.
George Marsh picked up the Haier 7″ HLT71 LCD monitor and was kind enough to send in a couple of pictures of the Haier monitor in action. He has the monitor mounted on top of his Canon 5d Mark II with a Juicedlink DIY107 bracket. The Haier monitor is mounted to one of those Very […]
16Mar Lavalier Windscreen with Adhesive Mount.
The picture makes it look like some kind of retro heart monitor, but in practice it can be a very handy little device. The Rycote Undercover Lavalier windscreen works with most Lavalier microphones and provides both windscreen protection and an adhesive back so you aren’t forced to fold up a shirt for a clip on. […]
11Mar $35 wireless Bluetooth Transmitter Receiver.
Just got home from the trip and found my next experiment in the post office box. On the left is a Stereo Bluetooth Transmitter ($19) and on the right is a Stereo Bluetooth Receiver ($16). I have to let them charge for about 4 hours before I can begin testing, but I’m hopping I can pair […]
03Mar Nady SGM-12 the lowest price boom Mic on the market.
It seems like people are always looking for the lowest price. So here today for your consideration is the Nady SGM-12 boom microphone. As far as I know, this is the lowest price boom mic on the market. At between $22 and $30 the Nady SGM-12 performance isn’t amazing, but it’s probably good enough for many applications. […]
25Feb More on Adding audio monitoring to your DSLR.
As promised here is the how to video guide, along with a quick demo. Yes My headphones are lime green, I know. Back on subject, you’ll notice in the video that the Red HDMI cable is plugged in and working at the same time as the usb-composite adapter (Canon AVC-400ST is the proper name). Since […]
24Feb Adding headphone monitoring to the Dirt Cheap $28 monitor project
So if you gave the Dirt Cheap Monitor project a try awhile back, this might be just what you needed. Freyguyproductions wrote in asking “What would you suggest for stronger audio sources?” The first thing that came to mind was a hearing aid amplifier. So I started rummaging around the net and found something even better. The FiiO […]
