I think it would be a neat addition to make whoever wins the contest to have to make an additonal entry in the next one using the camera that they got from the last placed person this time round. I did lower the bar a bit this morning.

Challenge accepted. I very much doubt that you'll need to get your knife and fork ready though!

Good luck getting that St. Bernard into a cardboard box let alone getting it into a bikini.

I've narrowed the hardware down to a couple of options but the speed/cost balancing ratio may cool some people's passion for that functionality. If you have a device that can do split screen for apps then you can have it now with VLC and an off the shelf hdmi>wifi encoder. With regard to bluetooth over wifi, if you put a VNC server on the android device that you are running 3C on then you can control it over IP from anywhere on the same network or even from the other side of the world through the internet. How are you getting on with using the app by the way?

Although maybe it means I've found a cheap Leica and that £56 is just for a lens cap for it.

Game on

Oh bollocks. <clicks Remove Z6 From Basket>

It works. Because the E to Z is only 2mm its actually not that bulky a deal. Especially not to get auto focus on 50 year old lenses!

Well there was but you had to have the brightness set to 11 to do it!

If its manual F mount lenses then the best play is F to Leica M adapter, TechArt Pro M to E and then the TechArt E to Z as that way those manual focus F mount lenses magically become auto focus ones.

B for the dog and L for the lake for me. Just as an aide-mémoire when reading everyone else's choices I've made these

Well I was only kidding but to be fair the reality is that it is similarly niche. I've bought gazillions of cakes in my life but only one wedding cake. So in the overall world of cake, the wedding ones represent a tiny slice of the......nope, I can't do it.

Sorted my merch.

I like finding shortcuts.... So to my mind the shortcut here then would be analogous to a traditional TV channel where you find someone with a monetised account to host your content in their channel for them taking a cut of the ad revenue? Solves the problem of you getting your content out there @kaylee and earning from the get go without your own audience and solves the problem of the channel owner not being prolific enough in terms of content to maintain his place in whatever arbitrary algorithm reshuffle they do next. It can't be that simple can it?

Without that video he made about it on his channel, I wouldn't have known about the $200 USB rechargeable precision screwdriver. And without the comments section of that video, I would never have known about the £35 identical version I bought from Amazon last week!

I worked with the Soundfield company itself when it changed hands from AMS/Calrec about 25 years ago so I sold/demoed/rented quite a few ST350 systems to broadcasters and studios. The H3VR is not quite at that level In fairness though, it only costs about the same as the flight case did for those so its punching well above its weight. For what it is as at this sort of level I think its actually pretty good to be honest. Its not going to fulfill a fantasy of being a magic bullet for a "record all/point later" device for primary audio but as a simple way for recording general ambience in a surround format to supplement it then it has a lot going for it for me.

It offers great additional functionality, particularly the timecode element of it with v2.0, but yeah its annoying it isn't inbuilt and the price comparative to the unit itself is also a bit harsh. I can't find one locally either so I've got to order one from Germany which won't make it any cheaper !

My entirely subjective content suggestion @kaylee is that dog videos do well and tiny home/van living ones do well so.... Big Dog In A Tiny House would be a fusion that I'd watch religiously

Its a complete long shot but the Aputure EF to E electronic ND would be very interesting but I don't know anyone who's actually got one.

Considering I don't own a Z camera to put it on, I'm really excited about this adapter ! If you confirm that it works when you stack the original E to M AF adapter on it then I might finally cave in and join the Z gang.

Just curious as to whether anyone actually downloaded the Zoom Ambisonics Player and had a play with the B-Format files, particularly anyone who has their computer attached to a 5.1 system ?

For the Pocket4K, I know of a device that uses a wheel to manually control the speed of the pull between two marked points on electronic lenses. My main takeaway from the video is how insanely priced the ultrasonic "AF" systems for the cinema cameras are.

HDV 1080 was about 25Mbit/s. Cameras like the Canon HV20/30 would still be relatively interesting as a really bargain basement option if they included one of the 35mm adapters with them. CCD mojo That Fisher Price camera that I posted above above actually records to cassette. As in audio cassette. So its less a case of a bit rate and more a case of a bit shit.

I was pondering getting one of these to deliberately finish last with and spite the winner ! But I then discovered that, shockingly, the money they change hands for wouldn't actually fit in the budget. Must be because they are CCD and not CMOS so ergo must have more mojo .
