Blue Whirlpool Front Load Washer

Someone please tell me any other film washer better than this.

The PSA1+ Rde arm is smooth, quiet, and able to handle the load of a Blue Yeti in a shock mount or a Smith-Victor SCM-700. The only negative is the large white Rde logo when used where low reflected light is significant. I just covered the logos with black gaffer's tape.

Got a bright sunny day, load up some Ektar! The blue skies are so vivid, the green grass looks even better in the photos than it did in real life. I think this goes pound for pound with Fuji Velvia, at a fraction of the cost.

Load everything up and move it from one location to the next. All my equipment fits perfectly. Collapses down to fit in the front seat area of my car, with the wheels on the floor. Don't need a truck just yet.

I haven't actually used this yet, but I did load it, weigh it, and pretend to put it in an overhead for practice. Seems perfect for my gear. I travel with a DLSR, mirrorless and 4 lenses. There is room for that and a change of clothes if a bag gets delayed. The front compartment easily holds my 15 laptop. The laptop compartment sort of locks by attaching the loop on the zipper to the integrated lock for the case (watch the video). The case rolls easily. I agree with the reviewer who said it would be nice if the bottom of the case was flat, but with my gear that is not a problem. The recommended accessory GRID-IT organizer of 10X12 does not fit the interior front pocket and looks like it has been removed as a suggestion. All-in-all this looks like it will be a great bag. It will be my carry-on but seems sturdy enough to gate check on smaller planes.

I couldn't be happier. This cart rolls over anything and carries all my gear. The only slight problem is if you load the rear with more weight than the front, the front wheel wiggle and increase resistance to push. Design questions, changes... why not make the deck a bit wider. It would allow for more gear between the hands (light stands, tripod, etc), and since there are wheels blocking the bottom rail, put something to hook onto for bungee cords.

This is a great day/travel bag for taking your camera and a spare lens. To me, it's one step up in complexity/organization from a peak design neckstrap, which I also have and use, for days when you want to grab the camera, but also second lens and extra battery. The bag wears comfortably, wraps around your back when not in use, swings around to the front, and you can wear it as a fanny pack (though I haven't). There are nice little nooks and crannies for extra batteries, cords, etc. The flexibility and capacity of the bag is a double-edged sword. Yes, you CAN load it up, a lot, and if you are flying somewhere and need the capacity, it's there. You could do an 80D with a 18-135, two pancakes on one side and an 85mm on the other, and have room to spare for more. But, if you really load this up to maximum capacity, it starts becoming like a traditional heavy camera bag, a psychological and physical burden that detracts from actually leaving the house, being mobile and taking out your camera quickly and actually using it. Just my thought process. One less that great thing... the front pocket is a little hard to access, for me, especially if the bag is full. It could have been made just a tad more roomy, maybe with some more give on the sides. As is, the cloth is very tight and you kinda have to pull it apart and plunge your hand across a sharp-ish zipper to get in there. Know what I mean? Maybe the next generation addresses that.

I use these filters on all my lenses. Good front element protection and takes a touch of blue out making the image more neutral.

I produce a large number of photo ID badges for our company and needed a product that allowed flexibility in both the colors we use for backgrounds as well as portability. The 5'x7' collapsible (chroma blue/chroma background by Impact) fit the bill to the T. It is well-made, durable, has robust, velcro-based attachment strips and folds into an extremely manageable disk have its size, fitting very nicely into the included storage cover. I hung it up within minutes and literally seconds later was using it for new-employee mugshots. Lighting on the background is simple in our use; just the overhead ambient flourescent fixtures. My employees stand just a few inches in front of the background and a very suitable illuminated background in blue nearly matching the background color itself is rendered. Intensity of the background is easily controlled by simply moving the subject a new more inches in front of it and the ambient light fall-off renders a deeper blue to black if preferred. The background will see additional use as the chroma green will be used for instructional videos (green screen) that we also produce in-house. Construction and materials are first-rate and can be easily cleaned if soiled. I expect the background to be in service for quite some time and priced under $60 it is competitively priced and a bargain.

The bright blue light on the front is the on-off switch. I almost didn't buy this due to other reviews saying there was no switch. I received mine 2/9/2022 for a point of reference. I was also expecting typical mechanical drive sounds from it, but it is very quiet! I ran some random file transfer tests and it averaged round 225 MB/s writing to the 10TB d2 through my USB-C port with very little variance. I did laugh when I saw how bright and distracting the blue light in the on-off switch was once it started flashing to show drive activity. The main casing is aluminum and very sturdy and it has many small rubber feet on the bottom to isolate it from your desk top. For three bills, this is a great purchase.
