Board Game Territory Control

I originally bought this to take product shots for my website (which it works great for), but I have been running board game videos using zoom meetings using the box during covid19 as an unexpected use.

Worked nicely for sending audio from our FOH board to our video control room.

Although I have a zoom lens that covers the 90mm territory, it doesn't stop down to f2 to take care of images I wanted with a narrow depth of field. I had also read reviews saying this lens produced sharp photographs. It does. The lens is a little pricey and I was concerned I wouldn't use it enough on my Fuji X-T1 to justify the cost. But after seeing the quality of the images, I find myself using it a lot. The lens is a bit heavy and it does not have image stabilization, but that's what they make tripods for. This is a great lens and the image quality lives up to reviews.

I might have given 4 stars, given the vulnerability of the protruding glass of this lens, but it goes with the territory, so five it is. Give it the care and room it needs for protection, and this lens performs like a dream. It isn't the first lens I'd have in my bag, presently a 24-70 and 70-200, but it fights with my 100mm macro as my most used additional lens.

This is new territory for me. I don't know much about graphic cards. I got advice before purchasing and help putting it in, but it seems to be working well and giving a bit of speed to my work.

This lens is as wide as it gets, before you enter into fisheye territory. Other wide-angles, like the 18mm, still leave some wanting more sweep. True, there are wider lenses, but I feel their application is limited. With the 10mm Voigtlander, one still gets rectilinear performance. The heightened perspective looks amazing.

We used this to connect our AViPAS 1281 to a control board. Actually ended up being about six feet short of where I needed it to go since we ran in through some attic space in the church. But works solid with the extension I bought.

This board is a important part of our Service on Sunday's Service because it is used to control the sound for our church services every sunday. Nice and crisp high's as well as deep low's pertrude from our speakers and the keyboard sounds great through it. This soundboard is AMAZING!

I have been using Elgato products since the Game Capture HD with a 2009 iMac. I used to light up my elgato green screen with a cheap USB powered LED work light set on the floor. It managed for the most part, but far from an ideal solution. The jump to the Key Light was like night and day, literally. Having full control over colour temperature and brightness made my lighting look instantly professional. Being able to control every option via the iOS app over WiFi meant the Key Light became the main source of lighting in my tiny apartment, and still is.

I recently bought one of these to bring my work to the next level and I'm quite impressed. Having full control of my audio is a game changer. The mics pick up range is really impressive compared to the VideoPro mic I have been using. Highly recommend this addition to your tool belt.
