If you already use an H5 or H6, you can swap their capsules with the Q8 too. The Q8 comes with its own specially designed detachable X/Y microphone, yet it's compatible with many Zoom microphone capsules. Combine that with ZOOM's groundbreaking interchangeable mic capsule system and two XLR-TRS combo inputs, and you have a world of audio options.Ĭomplete compatibility for total versatility. Its 160 degree wide-angle lens and digital zoom ensure that you'll always capture the complete picture. The Q8 marries high-definition video with high-resolution audio, making it the perfect camera for music and video creators everywhere. Here's what Zoom say about the Q8 Video Recorder If you are a musician or video producer and want a single device to carry around for all of your recording needs well this is one of the best choices you can possibly make. One thing that really amazes me with this set up is that it is able to handle all of these features while still being not much bigger than a standard camcorder. ![]() See if the X/Y Capsule is not really what you are looking for you can replace it at any time with any of a wide range of optional capsules produced by Zoom. With this set up you can record all four tracks at once capturing a room sound as well as two close mics. So not only does this camera already come loaded with a fantastic X/Y stereo small diaphragm condenser microphone capsule but you also have two more XLR inputs with phantom power on the rear of the camera. It also makes it a perfect stage camera with its hard wearing chassis and low aperture for wonderful blown out backgrounds. That means you will have no problem fitting an entire stage of musicians into the frame of this camera even from the front row. The camera has an f2.0 16.6mm lens that covers an incredible 160 degrees. So while a lot of these camera / recorder combos you may see have either a great camera or great audio this has both. With a powerful 4 channel audio recorder and better than 1080p camcorder all in one device no matter the situation you know this will shine. ![]() The Q8 has had nothing stripped back as it contains all of the latest technology that Zoom could get their hands on. While some devices have features cut back to keep the price or size and weight down. With interchangeable microphone capsules and the ability to record up to 2304 x 1296 pixels at 30fps this is a device for those who don't want to compromise. The Q8 takes everything they have done in the portable market in the last few years and puts them all into a single device.

Corsair also claims a battery life of up to 30 hours using lighting and 45 hours without lighting, and it also says the range is good for up to 10 metres. A feature bolstering this is called Intelligent Frequency Shift, which supposedly retains a strong connection even in the presence of heavy wireless traffic, such as that found in most modern homes, by being able to hop to the fastest available channel on the fly. There is a lot of marketing jargon in the description of this and few technical details, but Corsair claims that it is as good as or better than a wired connection thanks to latency levels able to go below 1ms, thus ensuring that the polling rate of 1,000Hz typical of gaming mice can be maintained. ![]() The 2.4GHz wireless connection is marketed by Corsair as Slipstream Wireless technology. We had no issue setting making a connection almost immediately with either method. ![]() There’s also a simple switch for choosing between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth as well as an off position. One small complaint, though, is that the four PTFE feet are pretty small, which is noticeable compared to those with larger ones in that you’re a little more likely to feel small surface imperfections as you move.Ī small compartment in the bottom is used to store the USB wireless dongle, which is useful. The mouse feels solid, and textured rubber sides are complemented by a slightly grainy matt plastic top cover, a combination that works well and is comfortable to yield. While adding wireless connectivity and thus a battery has added around 15g to the weight, an overall weight of 100g is still lightweight as far as wireless mice go. ![]() Amusingly, this wasn’t working with the latest software at the time of writing numbers above 5,000 DPI weren’t even available to use. The exact sensor is PixArt’s PMW3325, which has a native DPI of 5,000, meaning Corsair is using interpolation to hit any number above that. However, bigger numbers look better, so it’s not a surprising move. For most users and especially gamers, this difference will be meaningless, as few are likely to use anything above 6,000 DPI with any regularity. One of the upgrades is the sensor, which moves from 6,000 DPI to 10,000 DPI. The Harpoon RGB Wireless is an upgrade of an existing wired design (the Harpoon RGB, obviously). Said features can be yours on this side of the Atlantic for £55, which is pretty steep considering the US pricing of $50 but also not that expensive for a wireless gaming mouse with a decent feature set. As the name indicates it offers wireless connectivity (via both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth 4.2), and it also comes with six programmable buttons and a '10,000 DPI' optical sensor. The Harpoon RGB Wireless launched at CES 2019 a few weeks ago alongside the Ironclaw RGB and M65 RGB Elite.

The DPI performance is set to 500/1000/2000/4000/6000 DPI by default and you can assign each setting a colour indicator when toggled on the mouse. The colours are bright and vibrant with fairly good rendering quality, though white appears to be slightly blue/violet, but this can be compensated by reducing the blue content in the RGB gamut. We are given a selection of lighting options, but considering it is just the only just the one lighting zone there isn't anything spectacular about it. Unfortunately it didn't recognise the mouse side buttons. This time you can individually select the instances you wish the macro to record.

Lens - The less abberation and distortion your lens has, the better the chance you give to your stacking software to align the images correctly. That said, stacked images can be surprisingly unsharp and some moderate high pass sharpening is usually required. Obviously handheld exposures are perfectly capable of creating sharp images if there is enough light, but do be aware that doing everything you can to maximise initial sharpness can influence the quality of the final focus stack greatly. So combining shots made with flash freezing the images sharply are more likely to be successful than shots which use handheld long exposures creating pixel blurry shots. For a successful stack, you need sharp images to begin with. Sharpness - Focus stacking is not a magic bullet that converts 10 unsharp images into one sharp image. One thing to observe is that for many not so great stacks, all the factors need to be explored and relying just on buying a more expensive lens is no guarantee of success if all the other factors are not in good shape. Regardless of the software or hardware you're using to create a focus stack, there are certain standout factors that will affect the quality of your final focus stack. Learn Focus Stacking!Īs of March 2017 I'm now doing full and half day workshops covering everything macro, which of course includes focus stacking! If you want to try out Stackshot, WeMacro or MJKZZ stages, or want to learn Zerene and/or Helicon Focus, and spend some time getting to grips with the whole stacking process from a to z, you could do a lot worse than to spend a day doing macro, learning insect praparation techniques and learning to stack. ![]() Like anything, there's a workflow and certain amount of preparation that's done before shooting a focus stack. Focus stacking, also known as macro stacking, focal plane merging, z-stacking and focus blending, can be done inside on the kitchen table during winter and is fun to learn, opening new worlds and opportunities for photography. Focus Stacking Walkthrough 1 ➤ The focus stacking workflow 2 ➤ How to prepare a focus stack 3 ➤ How to shoot a focus stack 4 ➤ Software tools for focus stacks 5 ➤ Postprocessing tools for focus stackingįocus stacking is done by amateurs, professionals and part-timers, has applications in entomology, science and astronomy and there's even a camera that focus stacks on the Mars Rover. All you need to start focus stacking is a digital camera, a stage, a flash, your tripod, the right software for stacking and a good sprinkling of patience. Starting out with focus stacking isn't hard, can be done at any time and doesn't need to be expensive. Stacking overcomes this by combining the sharpest parts of several images focused at different points and combining them into one very sharp composite image. ![]() Focus stacking is a photography term used to describe the process of combining photographs to obtain images with a much larger depth of field that would be possible in a single photo.įocus stacking as a photography technique is especially useful for macro photography of small objects, because regardless of the f/stop used, the unavoidably small depth of field shooting small objects means that much of your subject will actually be unsharp and out of focus. ![]() |
