Mi Band 1S Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring

This is my first Apple Watch, so I did my research. I decided on the Series 6 due to the heart monitoring features. I ordered it from B&H because their price was good (they also threw in a free watch guard) and they are a trusted company. I was afraid if I ordered through Amazon I might not get what I ordered. I have had the watch about 3 weeks now and am very pleased with my purchase.

This was a gift for my wife and she was more than pleased with it, upgraded from a series 3. The features of heart monitoring and greater capacity were what she was looking for.

This watch has some many useful function including calling for help if you fall, heart rate monitor and other health app. I feel like Dick Tracy when I speak into my watch using the intercom or answering a phone call.

This is the third Apple watch I've owned. It seems that this watch works a little faster than the others. I use it as much for health issues. The Heart Rate monitor picks up the same as my belt. This is an improvement over the past watches. The Blood O2 is good, particularly now with Covid as lung function is an indication of the virus. All in all it's a worthwhile purchase.

This watch is absolutely perfect for my husband and I. We aren't sports fanatics but need to keep track of heart rate. We walk, ride bicycle, and treadmill. This watch tracks it all. Best of all, we only have to charge once every 3-4 weeks. Just wish I could get another one in the white rock color.

The dual band delivers and I was able to capture excellent images of Rosetta, Heart & Soul and Horsehead nebulas.

Angelbird 256GB AV Pro UHS-II microSDXC Card U3 V60 A1 (ANP256MSDV60): Purchased from bhphotovideo.com, shipped by bhphotovideo.com, purchased on 24-FEB-2021: The microSDXC card and adapter come in original packaging. All items like on the B&H pictures. The card works very well. It becomes medium hot during writing and reading. Like for most cards recently purchased and tested, the card should be formated with full format and test/overwrite of full capacity (not short/fast format; this can easy take few hours). And/or a complete writing/reading test of the card should be performed using specialized software, e.g. H2testw. This will ensure full capacity available and relocation of bad sectors by the electronics of the memory card. This will ensure that during normal operation data get not lost and to prevent hang-ups of the card during writing. Unfortunately this conditioning of cards is often not more well done during production of cards. Tests with H2testw v1.4 on Microsoft Surface Book 2, exFAT 32kB cluster size, internal SD-slot (SD-Adapter with microSDXC card): Capacity 241342 MByte, Continuous write rate 102 MByte/s, Continuous read rate 134 MByte/s. Test by copying 30x1 GByte files on Microsoft Surface Book 2, exFAT 32kB cluster size, internal SD-slot: Continuous write rate 124-140 MByte/s, Continuous read rate 220-237 MByte/s. Test by copying 30x1 GByte files on Microsoft Surface Book 2, exFAT 32kB cluster size, Kingston MobileLite Plus USB3.2 UHS-II: Continuous write rate 124-140 MByte/s, Continuous read rate 235-250 MByte/s.

As someone trying to convert to lighter gear as I get older, I've found the m4/3rds format to be a good compromise. However, until the G7, none of my M43 gear gave a decent keeper rate for continuous AF of sports. Admittedly, I don't have a G4, but I do have an Oly E-P5 and E-M5 Mark ii. Great cameras, but they don't come close to the continuous AF keeper rate of the G7, and that is with the Pany 14-140 on the Pany compared to even my Oly 12-40 f/2.8. Needless to say that I'm thrilled with the G7. The ergonomics are great as well. The grip is better than the rangefinder body styled M43 cameras, and the programmable function buttons make it easy to set this camera up however you want it. This is one of the best buys in M43 cameras right now.

I use these for in ear monitoring on stage with a band. They function perfectly, not only for carrying my mix, but I find the noise-canceling suffecient to block cut just the right amount of stage noise.

I have been setting up a new monitoring system for a church worship band and needed a way to split the microphone signals. The ART S8 is the perfect solution. B&H has it at a great price, ...I like the fact that I can keep the phantom power out of my monitor inputs, a PreSonus Firestudio. I haven't had to use the ground lift feature for this setup, but the building is very old and if I need it I'll sure be glad it's there.The only complaint I have is that it is too small. When mounted in my rack between some other equipment, it is so shallow that access to the rear plugs is tricky. Luckily I don't have to do that often, but if you do, then plan to leave some rack space open above and/or below it.I checked around for used pieces for a while, but they seem to hold their value really well! Buying new was not that much more, and if I ever switch it out for something else I know I'll get my money back out of it.
