Fitness Tracker Activity Track S8

Although the most expensive of the fitness tracker watches, it worth it for serious trackers. Highly recommend.

Although I regularly do it, I don't look forward to event videography, especially with live bands in/and unfamiliar venues. There is always the problem of getting a multi-track feed with not-always-friendly FOH guys at the helm (I understand their concerns). I traditionally take the insert outs of mixing consoles if they are there (and I'm permitted) on one extreme, or popping a Zoom H2 in the middle of the stage on the other if that's what I'm reduced to. Thinking for the longest time that there must be an alternative to these has led me to the ART S8. Presenting it to the FOH guys well beforehand makes it easier to interact with them and convince them that nothing in what I'm doing will in any way disturb the proceedings. In this, the ART S8 has well succeeded in making everyone happy: the FOH guys with the program, and me with my multi-track recording of the event, all without missing a beat. To tap into an event using all 8 channels, you will need 16 XLR cables: the original mics go into the S8, then the direct cable goes to wherever it must in the original scheme (main FOH mixer or stage snake inputs, etc), and the transformer out cable goes to the recorder (Zoom R16 in my case). Well worth it: no hiss, no hum, no attenuation, no boost, no power required; the mic out transparently goes to my recorder and to the FOH. Very good value as well; highly recommended (the -29dB attenuator enables line levels to be applied; I'm just puzzled why -29, not -20dB or outright -30dB).

Nice watch to track fitness results. Many functions that are easy to use. The GPS works very well and nice downloads of workout to phone. Charge last a long time.

You can use this every activity. I use it for outdoors. It's exactly what I needed.

I decided to try an upgrade from an 8BG RAM to a 16GB RAM because of two issues. One, my activity monitor, at times, indicated a small degree of Memory Pressure, and two, I thought one of my main programs probably needed more RAM. Very happy so far. My Activity Monitor now seems to indicate 10 to 12GB of memory used, so I assume my additional 8GB of RAM is helping. Not sure I can actually tell the difference going from 8 to 16GB of RAM but the additional RAM appears at least to be useful according to the Activity Monitor.

Takes a load of activity simultaneously without incident.

Great notebook. I use this as my gardening tracker so it holds up well.

I use this mostly for full lenght shots with fitness models

Very useful gadget to transfer data from my Galaxy S8 to my laptop.

Great for outdoor activity: Birdwatching/ Fishing
