First Grade Fun Times Classroom Rules

I purchased this for my daughter, who is a first grade teacher, to use in her classroom. We have used it a lot this year.

This thing rules!!

I am using this in a classroom setting for 8th grade students. We went outside to have each student record part of a message. Two of our noisiest locations, the gym and breezeway were great! In the gym, there was a class going on and my student was standing on top of the bleachers (about 40 feet away) doing his part. Of course it was noisy (gym, duh), but he could be heard clearly. In the breezeway, it is really loud due to the AC chillers being close. The sound was great and the student speaking was clear! I am looking forward to our next location shoot!

I always wanted a green screen...bought this on a whim for fun and have used it at work and at my wife's classroom. Totally worth the laughter and joy it brought to the kids to see themselves in space, or in the jungle, etc. using different computer generated backgrounds in their pictures.

I picked this up for fun and have been using it in my wife's classroom to show the students with different backgrounds. I always wanted a green screen, and now I have one. Easy set up, and I love that I can simply wash the fabric when it gets dirty.

First macro lense I have ever owned, and it is fun to shoot with.

I have only used it a couple of times and I like the effect that I'm getting. Looking forward to having some more fun with it.

Rules so hard

First few times out it has lasted longer than the OEM battery.

First, some expectations: this is not a military grade component. It's a device to play games and run simulators. With that in mind, it is absolutely brilliant in what it does and reviewers faulting it because it doesn't also iron their shirts are misleading potential buyers. If you run a VR headset, as the trend moves in that direction, you will appreciate having every function mapped to a button that's accessible without having to remove your headgear. Is the layout perfect and fits every hand, no. But within reason, and some repositioning of your hand for certain buttons, it is a very good setup. If you want to pay 3 or 4 times as much for a unit made out of metal and having brain-surgeon levels of precision, knock yourself out. For the rest of the everyday casual gamer, you can't go wrong with the X56. It is smooth moving, configurable, and adaptable. If you're coming from a basic joystick, you will be impressed. If you come from using your keyboard and mouse, there's just no comparison as this is so much better. A final word: while everyone on the interwebs is hustling, scalping and gouging prices for this device, B&H gives you the true story about their stock and keeps an honest price. If B&H tells you the device is in stock or you will get it in a few days, you can take that to the bank. When a recent stock of these showed up, B&H marked it online as such and shipped mine immediately with a free 2-day shipping included. Much appreciate them for that.
