I posted that external hard drive teardown last week and now the external drives are back on sale. Right now on Amazon you can pick up the Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB drive for $99 with free shipping. The only difference between the drive in the teardown and the one on sale right now is that the […]

18Nov Senal SMH-1000 Studio Monitor Headphones – First impressions
Currently I have two pair of headphones I rely on, a low price pair of Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones (check out the review here) for ruff situations where I just need to hear what’s going on and a pair of AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones for mixing and recording applications. Both sets have served me well but I’ve been looking from a […]
17Nov Watson Duo LCD Charger – First impressions
I’ve used a few dual charger options in past but the Watson Duo is the first one I’ve picked up with an LCD screen. Supposedly this model has a higher current output (max 2 amps) and better regulation controls than other generic charges on the market. It’s hard to come up with a test method […]
16Nov Tascam TM-2X XY DLSR Microphone

For $129 you get an adjustable microphone, shockmount, and cold shoe adapter. […]
15Nov Gopro Hero 3 black edition dwindling inventory

15Nov Pixelstick, a crazy light painting tool kickstarter
This is one of those things that makes you want it as soon as you see it. Then after the initial impact wears off, you start to think “Will i use this?”. After all it’s a very interesting concept, but how often do you really take the time to light paint? Basically $300 gets you […]
15Nov Used Gear watch – Canon 6d $1450
Christmas is right around the corner and people are starting to list their used gear for less. This used Canon 6d body with a buy it now of $1450 and free shipping is just one example. The 6d has become my go to travel camera over the last few months and as long as you can […]
14Nov Removing the hard drive from a Seagate Plus external drive
For whatever reason external desktop USB drives are often cheaper than the equivalent sized OEM drive. They also seem to come with better warranties, in this case the drive has a 3 year warranty while most of the lower price OEM drives from Seagate only come with a 1 year warranty. The 3TB Seagate Backup […]
