Instruments In Jazz Band Public School

Recorded eight piece jazz band into my Tascam, no hums or glitches of any kind.

Came home from shooting a jazz band in a dark club in Bangkok and found that my 50mm Summicron with built in hood no longer sported its Leica pinch cap which must have fallen off and rolled away unnoticed into the shadows. This cap is a perfect fit, just tight enought, and I'm sure it's not going to do a runner like its distiguished predecessor. I like it so much that I ordered two more from B&H for my 90mm Tele-Elmarit-M and my 135mm Tele-Elmar respectively, both of which have rather annoying detachable hood and lens cap combinations that make them rather fiddly to change and the stock lens cap doesn't fit without the hood. If you want to avoid the hassle of these hoods, the Kaiser 40mm push on cap is the ideal replacement.

I play drums in a Blues / Jazz jam band. I needed a simple stand for a Shure SM57 microphone to record the kick drum. Other short stands with a boom have to be contorted to line up with the resonant head's port hole (8 from floor to dead center). Coupled with a standard Shure mic clip, the Auray stand is perfect! The weight of the base is substantial and the price is right.

I am an audiophile who enjoys spending evenings immersed in jazz, classical, big band, classic rock ... a wide range and wide variety from my recorded collection and subscriptions. I could not justify professional headphones, but these are PERFECT for those occasions when the rest of the household does not want to hear my music.

I use this mic for recording clips at high school football games, and public service announcements for my local cable access channel. The sound quality that comes from this mic is greatmuch better than the 7D's built-in mic, not to mention the ease of use. The only thing that concerns me about this mic is the plastic construction. I don't think it could take much abuse.

I upgraded from a wired mouse comparable to the cheap garbage you might use at a public school's computer lab, except older. The G305 seems to respond to the lightest of movements, which makes it nice for precise movements, like in an FPS video game. Perhaps this is bias or placebo, but after I started using this mouse I immediately performed better in games. Everything about this mouse feels solid, the packaging was great, and the design is clean. 10/10

I am a public address announcer for our city's high school basketball and football games. The Micmute PT works perfect with my headset. It allows me to speak and write at the same time during the game without holding a microphone. I had a similar style pedal switch but like the Micmute PT better, no doubt.

I teach Journalim at a public high school. Obviously, all equipment is used hard and the kids (while sweethearts) do not take care of equipment because they feel it can always be replaced - well, in these hard economic times, it can't. This lens cover is incredible, because it protects the lens from dirt, UV and, most of all - kids! I am thrilled! Alexandra

For anyone who has to home school because of the government public health warnings or does so because they prefer home schooling this microscope camera is an essential if instruction includes the use of a microscope. I'd suggest at least the Celestron microscope sold by B&H. With a PC, and a decent textbook one can cover the science included in school curriculum from elementary thru advanced high school biology.

The quality of this microscope and its price make it a perfect choice for a public or private school teacher to purchase and use in their classroom. One of the problems encountered by most students in public schools, when allowed to use a microscope, is that the quality is so poor that any interest or excitement is lost. With the addition of a HD camera connect to the third tube a realtime presentation can be made to an entire classroom. As for home schooling ... what better than a means to actually see what has been described in a text and then share that visual on a PC with others.
