Automatic Mechanical Watch Battery

I like the flatness and the automatic sleep for long battery life.

These days it's become almost automatic for me to make sure Battery Capable devices use the L-Series batteries designed by Sony many years ago. I had made a couple attempts to use Non-Sony batteries with all bad results. When I saw the Anton Bauer brand was making an L-Series I gave them a try. I own 8 of these now, for good reason. The newer batteries have better tech and these are no exception, I use them for a Sony HD Camcorder, LED Light(s) (of several configurations). I also have a V-mount Sled which permits me to use two of these on V-mount equipment.

110V or 220V, it's nice to have both. I like the individual charge of each battery. The automatic shutoff when the battery is full is a great feature. Also, it's great to charge 8 batteries at once.

Sleeper with these devices is the loooooong battery life--over 4 times longer than a Zoom I bought. I recorded a 17-hour concert with it unattended except for a battery change for dinner break (I chickened out, the batteries were fine.) Control for volume set to automatic. Recorder clamped out of sight to a flagpole at the side of the stage on the OPPOSITE side of the sound source. Amazing audio. No AGC (automatic gain pumping) I could detect. Would recommend to anyone.

Rechargeable battery makes me surprised. The battery life is longer than I expect. Easy to setup, everything is automatic. Sound is clear, and noiseless.

No issues at all. Generally the battery lasts about a half day of shooting on the Q3 with automatic shutoff after 5 mins with no activity.

This battery is needed to get full burst 12 frames mechanical shutter or 20 frames a second electronic shutter. The Canon R5 will use the older LP6 batteries. The R5 is power hungry and you are going to need more batteries if you are moving from dslr to mirrorless.

I needed a dedicated metronome to practice guitar on that had volume control and was loud enough to hear while playing. This is much louder than my digital one and much simpler to use on a daily basis. There is nothing fancy about this...it feels solid and not cheap. All the controls are mechanical, which is honestly not a bad thing for this purpose. It has a 3-position sliding switch on the side for Off, Tone 1 and Tone 2. The other side has a very simple volume dial which can be adjusted by sliding your finger up/down along the side. The tempo is easily set by turning the dial on the front. The mechanical dial clicks and locks into each position as you turn it, which is really nice. And there is also a flashing light on the front which can be used as a visual reference, especially if you want the volume all the way down for a performance for example. This uses a 9V battery which lasts a long time. I have been using it daily for over 3 months, at high volume, and I have still not replaced the original battery.

I've been using clicky mechanical keyboards with my desktop computers for years. I love the build quality, the key travel and that satisfying sound. My only issue's been the thickness because my keyboard tray isn't deep enough to accommodate a palm rest. That meant an uncomfortable wrist angle. This Logi low profile solves that easily. For my purposes, this keyboard does everything I need, want and like. And it does it beautifully. Regarding comments about a slow backlighting sensor, the keys on my unit light up as my hands approach and it seems to be on a par with Logi's MX Keys which I've also used and I did not find it objectionable. As for backlighting going off too quickly, I don't have a problem with that either. It probably helps battery life, which is outstanding. I'm using this new keyboard, via Bluetooth, with one of Apple's new iMacs with the silicon chip and the Bluetooth connection is solid. The Bluetooth settings do show the percentage of the battery charge. If you need to boot from safe mode where Bluetooth doesn't work, just pair the keyboard to the included Logi Bolt USB receiver. The only suggestion I would make to Logitech would be to consider using PBT keycaps since they are virtually immune to fingertip oils and smudges, although a microfiber cloth will work on the existing keycaps.

This is my first mechanical keyboard and so far I'm very impressed. The keyboard has a long battery life and has more features than I can keep track of along with a very good tactile feel. The MX Master 3 mouse also has tons of features that really cannot be fully explained here. Both can be integrated using the Logi bolt that's included. I am very happy with my purchase.
