My first time video project (of what I hope to be many ) :) Just wanted to show how it's done for a m401, since it's typically done with the 510

Great job, Grimgreen beware.
You have a natural on camera persona that is very likable to listen to,( since we can't see your face. Shy?)

Your description and on camera technique was very well thought out and well done. How many takes did you do?
Would love to get a video review of some other products and procedures from you for use on my site.
You should have something to review in a couple of days. It went out today.

First off, What make and model is your web-cam? The quality looks pretty good, what is the Res?

I have been using the dense poly chair pad but this material look like it will work way better. No loose threads nor does it look like it will come apart from cleaning.

Will have to procure some for sure. What exactly is it? and where did you get some?
Now what to do with a 16 x 16 chair pad that looks like rats got to it.

Sorry that I reviewed you and not the "mod" It looks like a good mod.

Heh, no problem, reviewing me is usefull too :) Not shy, just all the vids of walkthroughs for stuff like this it seems like the best way is to point the camera down at the worksurface. I have a logitech webcam, shot it in 1280x1024, wearing my headset to use it's microphone. I have the Quickcam Communicate Deluxe (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/435/4225&hub=1&cl=us,en) camera. It'd say it did come out pretty good, and works ok, no auto focus though. Did two takes, on the first I forgot to mention a couple things I wanted to cover. I'm looking forward to doing more reviews, I've held off on doing any real hardware review because I have only the M401, but I got a PM today from our patron Mini and my 510 contest winning cig is in the mail! Yay! :D So I'll be doing a comparison when that gets here. And my face will be on that one :)

The foam is Marineland Magnum Foam Sleeve "Rite-Size U" (http://www.petguys.com/-047431011530.html?productid=-047431011530&channelid=FROOG) the "U" is the size of the cells in the foam. In the more info in the vid there should be links to the forum to credit where I got the idea from, and the link for the foam.

I'm happy to hear that you did win. with the rules on back to back posting and the flurry of activity, things got pretty dicey. I'm glad that it worked out. You will love the 510. Make sure, and you might want to order them from Mini now (before it ships, free shipping hopefully) a couple of extra Atomizers.
They keep on working forever but then you put a new one on while waiting for one you just cleaned to dry out and WOW huge difference.
I hold on to them till they flat out die. Then I still try to futze with them to get them to make one more round.

I checked out the blue foam link. good price but shipping doubles it. sooooo, off to Walmart.
Is the size "u" (in case their brand doesn't say) a real fine, kinda fine sorta fine, fine, not fine, course and on and on...?


I have been looking at the Logitec 9000 pro. they always start out for .99 on eBay but end up around $100. So I keep bidding trying to get one on the cheap. Did yours come with a headset or what model is it.
You sound great. In my past life I worked in the broadcast industry so I know what's good or not. I don't throw out compliments lightly when it come to production quality.

I ask all this as I have a full set of analog recording gear both audio and video but not a drop of digital gear. So it is time to upgrade so I can skype my girl in China, and I wanted to do some reviews of my juices but will just have you do it. I can tell by your hands that you are a whole lot younger than me. and a scary face my detract from my reviews LOL.

Lets chat before you do a review of what I sent you (if you are so inclined to do so) and if you have any questions please let me know.

Nice video. Thanks Zorba.

Congrats on the 510. Did I miss a contest somewhere when I wasn't able to stop in so often for awhile there? I thought Rooster's halloween win was the latest one.

It was the 1500 thread. Thread title is 1500, but in the post body it mentions 1000th and 1500th :)

Oh cool. I forgot about that.
