Setting Up A Les Paul Style Guitar

To feel better about having that new les paul strapped on securely! Great product, easy on and off.

I've played my Les Paul thru it, my classical/electric thru it, sang thru it & listened to YouTube thru it. This EON is incredible. The 8" woofers put out ear-piercing 300 watts of sound. Plenty for any backyard party or indoor party. The settings include reverb for balancing any tone needed. Even though you can play your electric axe thru it, the EON is not designed for this. My Les Paul sounded too bright, even after adjusting the EQ settings. You can get by if you need a quick plug-in to work on a song without plugging into another amp. Each channel has its own settings. The EON is very portable & snaps together nicely in a suitcase-style fashion, making it easy to carry, set up & take down. The headphone input is nice & puts out great sound, just like the speakers. I keep the mixer & speakers apart in the bedroom for solitude practicing & listening to YouTube. Then, I just snap it all together & go. When I discovered this had Bluetooth, I was sold right there! You can play along with any song thru your mobile device. The Bluetooth does not interfere with my XViVe U2 wireless transmitter & receiver. Vocally, the sounds are awsum, too. The accompanying AKG vocal mic works brilliantly! The speakers have a 38mm pole socket for mounting onto speaker poles for maximum outreach. They're also light enough to sit on any cabinet or table. The 2 speaker cables, wall cable, AKG mic & mic cord all fit in a nice, stow-away compartment behind the mixer. Bottom line: I recommend this for any singer-songwriter, DJ, or party host. The price is worth it with the Bluetooth capability.

Sturdy little tripod that is very versatile in the field when setting up go-pro style cameras.

Entry level model, bought for the look & style. The emerald burst really pops & makes the guitar look great. Sounds good, plays well...

The sound is excellent and it looks amazing with this retro design and guitar amplifier style! 20+ hours of battery charge life it`s truth, not joke!

I've been recording all kinds of concerts for the last few decades, and one super-reliable one-size-will-fit-almost-all approach for orchestras is two small diaphragm condensers, up over the conductor's head, splayed out sideways. (The ORTF style specifies an angle of 110 degrees, the NOS configuration is 90 degrees. Both have their unique strengths.) These Lewitt LCT 140's are spectacular in this application: over the weekend I recorded a tracker organ (which means mechanically operated- other than the electric blower fan, this is the kind of organ Bach knew and loved) concert in an 1800's church, and the results were amazing. The different registers and voices came through distinctly, and the rumbling of the pedals was earthquake-like. The weekend before that, it was a cello-guitar duo, and the mikes were placed on knee-high stands in front of each player. Again, the capture was thrilling, larger than life- the guitar crisp and punchy, the cello sweetly singing. This was all with the "flat" setting, as opposed to the "high end sparkle accentuation" setting, which seems like a wonderfully slick way to heighten the clarity of some instrument meant to have the central focus. The onboard pad and low cut options are also fabulous to have, when you need to contend with the rigors of the real world, which can get noisy and can be unpredictable at times. For many years I was using Oktava MK-012's for these kinds of duties, and later Avant CK-1's, fantastic mikes indeed, but from now on it'll be the Lewitts. Since these are so lightweight, you'll want special shockmounts (I got the Rycotte Inv-6 softies). And if you still need convincing: check out ANY of the multiple Youtube videos where people put these to the test- music, voice, sound effects, whatever. There is just something about the accuracy, the precision, the truthfulness of these things... you will be a believer, I guarantee.

I bought the Matthews MERF stand to replace a Norman stand that had the older 3/8 stud attachment. I wanted a compact but sturdy stand with the 5/8 attachment used by today's lights. I mainly use the stand in a small home studio, but also wanted to be able to easily take it on location. I use the stand with the equally compact Godox AD100 and AD200 strobes, plus occasionally a larger Neewer LED light. The stand is sturdy even with a 41 umbrella attached. Although I generally use the stand with the legs angled, I like having the option of setting the legs flat on the floor so it will fit in among furniture. I also prefer the brake-style locks to set height rather than the clamp-style locks used on most other stands in this class. It makes setting up the stand easier since I have a bit of arthritis in my hands.

Not only are the images out of this lens fantastic, but you can now turn this focus-by-wire lens into a cinema style lens through a menu setting in your GH6 or G9 II by activating what's called linear focus which also allows you to assign how many degrees you can rotate the focus dial for repeatable focus. I'll be reaching for this lens more than my cinema style lenses.

I exchanged my X-H2S to the X-T5 because I am focusing more on still than movies. I like the X-T5 because of its style, like the X-T3, you can grasp in one view all the setting. This is important when you need to take a fast picture, you don't have to think which button you have to access to get the setting you need. Colors are great and vivid. The IBIS is fantastic, I can take pictures at 1/2 second and they are very sharp. This is so helpful when you cannot carry a tripod! And focusing is so fast... I recommend this camera.
