Api Key For Weather Underground

Long time photographer and retired pro. Have the X100f and bought this for some key updates like weather sealing, bigger viewfinder (better diopter), better lens and the tilt screen. The lens sharpness improvement is immediately noticeable, especially at shorter focus distances. The viewfinder and tilt screen make a nice difference in usability. The weather sealing is key to being out and about without a case, the way this camera is meant to be. The reviewers will tell you about the overheating and scratchy manual focus ring. Yes, the camera gets warm, but I never really press a camera like this for continuous hard shooting or video... it's not what it's meant for in the first place. The focus ring is a little scratchy, but works fine.... and honestly, I hardly ever manual focus anyway, so after playing with it to notice, it will go on forgotten. If you don't need weather sealing, tilt screen and/or don't care about closer focusing distances, the X100f might be fine. Otherwise, this camera is really a beautiful next step in the X100 evolution.

If you are debating weather to purchase this grip or the newer slight more expensive version of the grip for your Leica Q-P do yourself a favor and buy this one. I purchased both and ended up returning V.2 for a couple of reasons: 1) IMO this version has a slight edge over build quality, it feels more solid overall 2) The new version comes with a small hex key to tighten the grip which can be easily misplaced or lost. In comparison this version is a perfect fit without the hassle of having to tighten it with a hex key. Hope this helps make your decision easier. I bought this for my Leica Q-P and couldn't be happier.

The ability to control this from a phone, tablet, web browser or API make this the Ultimate All-In-One. No longer are you stuck tapping your YoloBox for every little scene change or video roll. Overall the UI and features are really nicely done. It's intuitive and simple to use. The community forum on FB has been great for sharing tips and tricks. If you're hesitating, don't. This box is a game changer.

Earlier firmware versions lacked features, but the last couple updates have added helpful functionality (eg. access to built-in local storage, RTSP stream, API, improved bitrates) During the early days of the API the developer was very helpful and responsive to feedback. We're now looking to use the device as part of our classroom lecture capture solution. Relative to other dedicated lecture capture appliances, this is significantly less expensive.

Great vest. I'm using it in an underground coal mine. It's like having an extra pair of hands. It distributes weight evenly. I use it for batteries, flashes, all sorts of accessories. There are no pockets for big lenses, but that's O.K. It would make the vest too heavy and cumbersome. It's pretty good at repelling lime and coal dust and water and is not likely to tear easily. Pockets are lined with soft material, which is easy on lenses. These vests are a little pricey, but worth it. They're professional gear and are made for rugged use.

Solid takes abuse perfect for poking the gopro into strange places underwater and underground.

So far so good! Using as a backup power supply for an underground dog fence and so far is working great.

We mostly use it to protect our lens for our camera at work, being as we drag the camera through steam tunnels, in mud trenches, inside underground vaults, and through all sorts of other environments. The filter screws on firmly to the end of the lens and protects the lens from scratches, dirt, dust, etc. without distorting any of the pictures.

I use 50+ of these routinely for delicate electronic sensors that are buried underground in very wet Florida environments for over 6 months at a time. I love the color-changing pattern on the exterior of the pack that let's me now when it's due for replacement or refreshing in a microwave. I used to use the metal type that needed to be baked for 3 hours, but those too long to replenish and were small in comparison.

This arm is exactly what I needed. I made an oversized copy stand to photograph old city maps and drawings of the underground utilities. I'm using the arm on top of a ProMaster Super Heavy Duty SLR II Tripod. Had to put a couple of weights on the tripod just to make sure it wouldn't tip over with the arm fully extended.
