Done? That’s funny!
I meant with this particular upgrade. Trust me, I know better and my wife laughs at me if I ever say that it feels done.Done? That’s funny!
Installed a new Steel cutting blade.

Here is a video breaking this blade in to make the Magswitch plate for my flight stick.
It works great. I just need to install this on my rig and I can call this done!
Very useful, thanks!This is an attempt to convey as much useful information as I can in a time frame that I can actually manage.
RCHeliguy,
I'm already questioning whether it was a mistake to put it out, but I don't have the time to reshoot everything or edit it to be even close to professional standards. This is an attempt to convey as much useful information as I can in a time frame that I can actually manage.
I expect that they will get better, but please let me know if the production value is so bad that it won't help anyone.
RCHeliguy,
Reading your warnings and disclaimers about your video I was expecting a grainy video with shaky camera and horrible and distracting sound. Thankfully, it was just your perfectionist side expressing itself.
Sure you do not have the fancy intro and transitions, or a B-roll with rotating products, smoke, LED color show, Hollywood music in the background and crazy shallow depth of field. However, when we focus on what matters (substance over form), you delivered.
Keep it coming!
I hope that you will make videos walking us through making your awesome accessories and mounts.
It all depends on what your goals are. I have done photography professionally and dabbled in video. It might not be obvious to the casual observer but good production value takes a lot of time and energy, especially if you are a one-man crew as you know too well.The issue is that I actually got pretty good at video a while back. Including key framing, chromakey, and interesting graphics. I've made wedding videos ( shot and post production sometimes hiring a 2nd cameraman ) as wedding gifts, as well as corporate instructional videos and corporate advertising with TV leads SMPTE color 1kHz tone, countdown etc..
I've got video gimbals, microphones, and even an old pro level "run and gun" camera that was once used by news crews in tough locations with XLR plugs etc, but it's SD and I don't have any adapters to use my microphones with the camera I'm using. I used to rent Lectrosonic wireless lavs and use high quality microphones like a Sony Countryman. I was never in front of the camera though.
Currently I have a RRS CF tripod and head and I'm using my Nikon D500 to shoot the video. I have a triple chip HD video camera, but it doesn't shoot as well as my D500 does.
Definitely better framing on this one picked up a few nice tips for when I'm ready to tackle that rat's nest - nice that you have everything in the video linked in the description so won't have to go hunting for different items (especially handy for a non-native speaker like myself for whom the searching for things you don't know how to spell can be bit tricky at times).Hopefully this is a little better. I think it is centered better
