Band Instrument Cleaning Oklahoma City

I am currently outside of Oklahoma City after being here when the tornadoes of 5/10/10 came through. It was a great piece of equipment in capturing footage of the storms and having a steady platform for the camcorder. I plan to try it later this year on a dragster and see how that works as it definitely solidly on when attached. I love the way it adapts to any position and will be a definite accessory that will be kept out of the bag.

Wow, this works really well. I bought it for the band at our church. Makes it very easy for someone who plays an instrument and sings to have a decent in-ear monitor without spending a fortune. Very solid all-metal construction. Setup and use are very simple; the diagrams & labels silk-screened onto the top make it easy to see what should plug in where. As a nice additional touch, it doubles as a direct box for the instrument input. I highly recommend the optional MSC106 mic stand adapter if you're using this on stage. Only drawback is that you need a long cable or an extension for your ear monitor / headphones. If you mount this on a mic or music stand, you don't have a lot of room to move. We'll be buying a mix of these and the 1-channel PM50s to move our whole band to in-ear monitors.

We use a snake combining vocal mic, instrument mics, D.I.s, and monitor cables for each band member, running to their area of the stage from the stage digital mixer, and this product makes it easy to customize those changes and change out cables when necessary.

If anyone in your band wants more me control of their in-ear foldback for both their vocals and an instrument (or two instruments), then this is THE box for them! Ok so it costs more than the 2 channel competition, but this has the essential 3rd channel the others lack, plus an integral stereo DI box, so the total cost is much the same. What is really nice is the way it can be set for mono or stereo inputs on both the instrument channel and the main foldback. The cct diagram even contains instructions to convert the mic channel for line level inputs. A really useful box, and a much better buy in real terms than the competing products, for use by real musicians!

I was one of those who was very apprehensive about cleaning my sensor myself. The only Nikon -Approved sensor cleaning shop in my city charges $100 per cleaning so there was a very large incentive to do my own cleaning. After ordering the kit I watched the how-to video on YouTube which allayed many of my fears. After cleaning the sensor on my Nikon D7200, I tested it on a variety of sky-scapes & on backgrounds ranging from white through gray at an f/22 and found no spots (The sensor was quite dirty pre-cleaning.) I would def recommend this product, it did a great job on my dirty sensor.

Wasn't sure I could pull this off for the first of two rare solar eclipses visible in Oklahoma in 2023 and 2024. I used this 95mm filter with a Sigma 150-600 mm lens on an EOS 70D (22 MPix on APS-C sensor) giving an effective 960 mm at the big end. These 2023 photos tell the story. The sunspot was a surprise and shows some detail in the second crop.

We are a pro film company based in Oklahoma where the wind is a constant 15 to 20 mph making it impossible to record audio with a lapel microphone. This mini wind screen makes it easy to record in very windy situations. I have 4 of these and use them daily with COS-11 microphones. I highly recommend these.

We sent our son to college this year in Oklahoma. Every other day we get thunderstorm alerts for his area. He has not had any problems with his electronics that are plugged into his Tripp lite surge protector. Hopefully it will continue to protect even through the spring storm season.

Can’t beat this little instrument for the money!

Fine instrument, does what it should do and more. I recommend it.
