Samsung Convection Microwave Baked Potato

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best chip ever & I'm not talking about potato chips. Samsung has the best electronics

I like how it can be regenerated using a microwave oven.

Standing design is only good for a cheap case (convection), bad for stability. I destroyed one of these by tipping it from standing to laying flat accidentally, while in use. How fragile is that? I managed to get a replacement after shipping it to WD operations in Vietnam (register it on the WD support website with your receipt and request RMA). If you will be carrying this drive around or it won't be in a place that it can't get knocked down flat, do yourself a favour and buy a vertical enclosure instead of the standing one.

V-log is incredible! Some have criticized it's performance when used internally or how it only uses a portion of the available range but I have found it to be exactly what to expect from a log format. Yes it uses less range but that is so it can give more headroom for grading. See a log format isn't just a profile you slap a LUT on and there you go. Using V-log and the Panasonic LUT just seems kind of silly because you are ending up with footage not much different than a baked in camera profile. That defeats the entire purpose of shooting log which is to have the ability to create a look in post. To me log is similar to raw in how it should be approached. We shoot log to shoot as flat of a profile as possible so no look is baked in. You can then adjust the look in post. If you don't want to shoot with a look in camera and prefer to dial in your look in post then V-log is a great way to do that, just like shooting raw. If one doesn't like to grade the color then don't use V-log or raw. V-log is about having that post flexibility and if you don't want that then don't shoot V-log. V-log internal is a bit thin but it really depends on how you shoot with it and what you consider acceptable artifacts in a H264 shot. No matter what H264 8bit is a bit thin for any log format. It can still be used but it isn't optimal and it could have artifacts. The benefit to how V-log is designed however is if you do record externally at 10bit (which is something no other DSLR can do by the way) You have an almost raw like level of grading potential on the material. You still have to white balance and that gets baked into the material but you have such a flat image that the sky is the limit.

Used it for a few shots of baked goods with my Pixel 3XL phone. Very nice light. Plan to use it for close-up photography and possibly some macro shots.

Physical size looks like a miniature. The thin metal cools the electronics by convection. It gets warm to the touch but it is not a problem...

Matthellini/Cardellini/potato/potahtoe... a brilliant original design and essential to every G&E kit. Matthews comes through with strong, indispensable tools for our industry and this critter leads the pack.

I bought one Boombox 3 & found out that I loved it so much that I bought a second Boombox 3. I tell my friends that there a bit like potato chips and you can’t just have one. Best speakers ever!???

Very stable and lays flat (unlike some competitors which are overly tense and end up shaped like potato chips). Man, I wish they made a reflector too!

This reflector costs more than most but its quality is better. A lot of reflectors are shaped like a potato chip when they unfold. This one is flat when it unfolds. Don't even hesitate to purchase.
