External SSD Group Test / Mac Mini / Mini Pro
I’m testing two new SSD drives from Netac with my Mac Mini M2 Pro..
They are the 500Gb Netac ZX10 and the 1TB Netac ZX20 – Both have stood up very well against my trusted SanDisk Extreme Pro drive.
Using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test I have run a series of tests from different ports.. the video will be up on YouTube hopefully as you read this..
Best by budget..
I’ve been out testing these two gems this morning.. the Action 3 is by far the best value action camera and the Akaso 7LE is the best entry level action camera ideally suited to a first camera for a youngster where the chances of ‘misplacing’ it are high.
As you might expect, the DJI Action 3 is offering astounding image quality and the broadest feature set that includes things like fast charging ! a first for this genre of camera. But wait, the 7LE is not a million miles away in features and for around £100 its frankly a very decent device that most general users would be pretty chuffed with. I’ll be posting a couple videos over the next few days that demonstrate the two in their own right.
Action Camera Dream Team
I’ve had a good few weeks with these beauts and they don’t disappoint..
Amazfit T-REX 2 Smartwatch
The best budget ipad pen
I’ve been testing this for some time now and it’s a superb, budget alternative to the Apple Pencil.
I’ll be posting a review video very shortly.
Basically its a 3rd party alternative to the Apple Pencil.. it’s not got the same variable pressure sensitivity but otherwise it’s a brilliant and much cheaper (around £20) alternative.

Light Painting – New video tutorial..
I’ve put together a new video on how I use tech to create images like this.. It’s a tutorial that should give you all the knowledge and know-how to do the same.
Check it out on YouTube.. link is HERE..

Hope you enjoy..
Wow – 2018 already.. I have been quiet here.. but busy – LIGHTPAINTING
Well it’s a new year and I have a new resolution.. push out some good quality Video’s to help grow YouTube and then get this blog kept up to date.
These things take time and I guess just like you find.. it’s an increasingly rare commodity !
I have, however, been pretty busy with some new experiments.. this time in light painting..
The first was done using a torch with half a pingpong ball attached to the top to give a glow that’s visible from many angles.. btw – the message is aimed at you all 🙂
This was a 10 second exposure with the colour balance pushed right up.. light source was an iphone 6 flashlight being moved around quickly.. has a Terminator 2 feel to it.
This last one was shot on a Samsung S8 using pro mode and again 10 seconds..
The sparks came from me spinning some wirewool inside a metal whisk on a chain.. I lit the wirewool with a PP3 battery.. a lighter works equally well.
I will shortly post a how-to video on YouTube with some more great examples.
Happy new year !
