Austin Public High School Supply List

I use this mic for recording clips at high school football games, and public service announcements for my local cable access channel. The sound quality that comes from this mic is greatmuch better than the 7D's built-in mic, not to mention the ease of use. The only thing that concerns me about this mic is the plastic construction. I don't think it could take much abuse.

I am a public address announcer for our city's high school basketball and football games. The Micmute PT works perfect with my headset. It allows me to speak and write at the same time during the game without holding a microphone. I had a similar style pedal switch but like the Micmute PT better, no doubt.

I teach Journalim at a public high school. Obviously, all equipment is used hard and the kids (while sweethearts) do not take care of equipment because they feel it can always be replaced - well, in these hard economic times, it can't. This lens cover is incredible, because it protects the lens from dirt, UV and, most of all - kids! I am thrilled! Alexandra

I'm a volunteer with the Austin School of Film, a non-profit organization that helps independent filmmakers. I bought two of these kits and our students use them all the time. The case on wheels can take a beating, rolls smoothly, and is organized with 3 partitions for the lights and stands. The cords are long and sturdy, and the fresnel lights work as described. While the stands are just sturdy enough for the big 650 light, I recommend using a sandbag on the feet to prevent it from tipping over. I recommend throwing a pair of heavy gloves inside - the lights get HOT! The softbox works well but is problematic - it's difficult to assemble as four steel rods must be bent nearly 90 degrees. So we keep it assembled instead of putting it back in the bag. We just have to be careful not to tear the fabric. The filter rings are very poorly understood by the majority of filmmakers I talk to. They use diffusion paper or filters taped to the outside of the light instead. Unfortunatly, our rings were quickly lost. All in all, an excellent kit.

This is a high quality stool! I can't wait to use it at X-Games Austin and the Austin City Limits Musical Festival.

This was the cheapest adapter on the list, but everything on B&H is high quality.

I upgraded from a wired mouse comparable to the cheap garbage you might use at a public school's computer lab, except older. The G305 seems to respond to the lightest of movements, which makes it nice for precise movements, like in an FPS video game. Perhaps this is bias or placebo, but after I started using this mouse I immediately performed better in games. Everything about this mouse feels solid, the packaging was great, and the design is clean. 10/10

For anyone who has to home school because of the government public health warnings or does so because they prefer home schooling this microscope camera is an essential if instruction includes the use of a microscope. I'd suggest at least the Celestron microscope sold by B&H. With a PC, and a decent textbook one can cover the science included in school curriculum from elementary thru advanced high school biology.

The quality of this microscope and its price make it a perfect choice for a public or private school teacher to purchase and use in their classroom. One of the problems encountered by most students in public schools, when allowed to use a microscope, is that the quality is so poor that any interest or excitement is lost. With the addition of a HD camera connect to the third tube a realtime presentation can be made to an entire classroom. As for home schooling ... what better than a means to actually see what has been described in a text and then share that visual on a PC with others.

This thing is awesome! Does everything I need it to do. One thing to be aware of - it DOES come with a power supply, even though it's not listed in the What's In The Box list.
