Assembly Cardboard Boxes

I just purchased the AMG 500 from B&H and I am delighted with the product. Here are a few comments, however, which may be helpful: The assembly URL:�kranecarts.com/amg500/assembly�does not work. I could not open this from any of the browsers that I use. The two frame parts that must be aligned for the axle to be inserted were very difficult to put together. I needed to coax them to align with a wooden block and hammer. The central frame component is filled with cardboard packing which is not easy to remove. I forced these cardboard bits out when I inserted the axle. The assembly �instructions should note this. Intuitively I would have thought that the deck adjustment mechanism �would have locked the frame when it is in the 2 wheel hand truck position but close examination of your promotional video reveals that the velcro strap does this. I’m curious as to why the adjustment mechanism doesn’t do this? The product instructions should be clearer on this. These are not complaints - just comments - as I'm quite taken with this product and have now used it several times and it performs excellently.

I bought this to get the ability to focus and control spot size. I then had to order a couple of these little Pepper lights. I got one with barn doors and the other Pepper will have this Focal Spot attachment. Although the adjusting blades assembly is a bit awkward to adjust and use; once you get the right tensioning, you can slide each one in and out, without affecting the position of the other three. I found that by removing one of these four adjustment blades, I could then insert a piece of heavy cardboard. By cutting out various shapes on these cardboard inserts, I could in effect come up with a sharply focused image-spot. For my application, that's more useful than the adjustable square/rectangle shapes you can obtain with the sliding blades. I do wish the way the front lens assembly slides in and out could be a bit smoother. The little locking screw that holds the lens in, has to be loosened each time you want to change the focus. That does get a bit problematic when the light has been on for a while. This whole assembly gets really hot. Think I'll invest in a pair of oven mits! Other than that, this is a keeper considering the price.

The locking system on the stand ensures a safe support for a mic of any price. Assembly was very easy - you really don't need the included instructions. Aesthetically and functionally, the stand is a welcome addition to my studio. The only thing that surprised me in the negative was the packaging - two cardboard boxes weakly taped together. Holes pushed through the cardboard by the boom arm and stand tube. Luckily, no scratches on the finish were apparent.

This is very easy to use, and cuts easily through thick cardboard boxes. It is light, and the blade retracts into a safe position. I am happy with it so far.

Because I have so many CD's, I have had to store them in cardboard boxes. The boxes were heavy with no organization. I purchased several Case Logic CD holders. I transferd my CD's from their plastic cases and organized them in the wallet sleeves. The Case Logics simplified my organization, carrying around, and letting me enjoy listening to them.

Very happy with this product. I have been carrying my monitors around in the original cardboard boxes which was very unprofessional. These bags fit both my monitors. One is a 24-in and one is a 12 and they are wide enough to leave the mounting brackets in place.

I've been using this out in the shop for some time. From cardboard boxes to vinyl and plastic. This seems to be the only one I use. It just feels right! Strong and secure with one of the fastest blade changes I've used.

I have many hundreds of slides taken in the 70' and 80's they had been in the slide boxes from the developers. Some were plastic and some were cardboard. Now there is a simple home for them in one box that is organized. Very useful.

After keeping my slides in the little cardboard or plastic boxes I got them back in originally I needed a way to store them more permanently. Most of my slides are more than 50 years old and the original containers are crumpled and warped. I've digitized them all and now need a more permanent home for them. I have about 400 slices so I bought two of these. I managed to get 20-23 slides per small separator box so I still have room for the other slides I still need to digitize.

Nice boxes, the cardboard material is very smooth and clean. It is supposed to be acid free, ph-balanced, etc, but I have no way of verifying those claims. For the money, dividers should have been included. Do not use regular index cards as dividers, because the paper stock in regular index cards is not that great. Use only archival quality acid-free card stock. Capacity is about 135 Gepe 7001 slides (2.1mm thickness) per box.
