A quick video of using the Leap Motion in a program called flocking.

Some programs work very well with it while other struggle. I personally think the response time is too high on some programs, as it picks up every minute movement of my fingers. Hopefully, as patches are released daily, it will improve. What I don't like is that when you use a finger for programs, it picks up your other fingers when you clench your hand, albeit very rarely.

Looks cool, but what's the point?

It's a motion controller for apps and games, similar kind of principal to kinect.

Is that a disguised pick axe handle? :D

So it won't hurt if you hit someone?

One way to find out

Rode Shotgun mic - It's mainly going to be used for interview format videos but it's also good for isolating what's in front for other stuff too and removing camera noise when pressing buttons/adjusting grip and lens AF etc. Rough sample video here.

mrk, can I ask what you need this stuff for? I thought your job had nothing to do with photography? I understand it's a sideline but you seem to spend thousands of pounds on it.

I got one of those recently myself, not sure how but the sound doesn't seem right for me (maybe it's my setup) - tried recording some guitar work using my D600 & one of those (didn't have much success & sounded not much better than my phones sound recorder...) - need to spend some time on it me thinks.

mrk · 25 Jul 2013 at 19:13

I don't know what the D600 is like for offering sound control but I assume there are manual levels control for when you use an external mic?

Hi, my day job is IT based yes. Outside of that I do contract work within photography and also shoot weddings/events. I have a few big jobs coming up in Vegas/Canada over the next 6-7 months and I've also started reviewing for a tech site.

My camera keeps me busier than the day job.

dirtychinchilla · 25 Jul 2013 at 19:13

Doesn't look like an ideal mic to record guitar with...presumably it's directional. Did you try different positions or aiming it horizontally?

Ah I see, very nice! Man, I'd love to get paid to take photos in Canada.

New toy for a bit of target shooting (HFT) and a bit of hunting

Poor pic but having too much fun shooting to bother with camera

Just fitted my SSD and loaded Win 8.

Similar to my Alienware but mine is a 14"...just need to order a 256gb ssd as the 128gb ssd isnt enough for me. Have my eye on the new Sammy 830 series that OCUK have up for pre-order.

I thoughts it isn't for sale until 29th?

Would it be worth while getting one if I only have Win 7 PC and iPhone 5?
