American History Society Pocket Watch Battery

This products was purchased for use in a photo booth for the American Cancer Society - Relay for Life event. I applied a vinyl logo as well as many ribbons that support cancer all over the paper. It was a great success.

Glasses were as good as advertised. The American Astronomical Society had the manufacturer of these glasses, American Paper Optics, listed and a trustworthy and reliable provider. Well done B&H!

Worked great for the April 2024 solar eclipse! American Astronomical Society approved vendor.

I carry this light in my watch pocket. It is a great performer. I love it. It is handy. Always on me ready to go. The battery really lasts. I haven't logged the hours, but it seems to me the battery actually lasts longer than it is rated. One caveat: While it may be weather resistant, it does not withstand the wash and rinse cycle of a washing machine. You must remember to remove it from the watch pocket before washing your trousers. Going through the wash cycle has a deleterious effect on performance.

I own several Roku streaming devices. I particularly like to watch "The Great American Baking Show" exclusive to the Roku Streaming Channel.

I like that this uses common AA rechargeables for easy battery duties. A history of Quantum and Metz gear makes you appreciate that! Because of Covid issues, I haven't had a chance to stretch the legs of this pack in any stressful action but its ease of use gives me confidence that it will serve well.

Primary use: oral history.Bought these mics to replace some Shure WL51s that have been giving me some problems, and these are much better at picking up sound at lower levels of gain on the recorder. Tested them on a Zoom H5, which gets a lot noiser at gains of 6 and above, and that needed a 7 or more for the Shures. It picks up the ATs fine a bit under 6. (Incidentally, tried them briefly on a Tascam DR100-mkII and these mics picked up with no trouble at a gain of 3).These are bigger than the Shures, especially with the windscreen on, but I'm not producing theatre. I'm interviewing people and want good audio. Audio is clear, low noise, and the mics are well built with a pretty long mic cord. You'll need your own XLR cable to connect the mic to the recorder. Each mic runs off phantom power or a single AA battery, and I've been using the battery to extend the life of the Zoom H5. I may update this later to let you know how long the battery lasts.Only minor issue I have: the battery fits a bit too snugly in its compartment. Nice to not have it rattling around, but it's a little bit of work to remove it.They are a pretty amazing buy at this price. Funding is always a big concern in public history, and it's really great to buy two mics for the price of one higher end mic, while not losing much that your ears will be able to detct. With these and a Zoom H5 or a Tascam DR-100mkII, you can put together a very good field recording kit for $ (I'm including the mic cables in the cost; not including the memory card or batteries).

I like these because of the SmartConnect feature. I can review outage history, battery health, etc from my desk without having to physically walk to the server room. They run quietly and without issue. I recommend.

My last boss Bluetooth speaker battery died after 11 years. I had a lot of history with it. Was nervous about the new sound link but Bose doesn’t disappoint. Think it is a better speaker.

Nice to keep in a pocket with a portable battery.
