Enjoyed this episode? 
Great show, the new LED lights are impressive.
I noticed that you didn't do your usual rating of the product this time.
Keep up the great work!
The Swann Digital Private Eye camera got 2 really bad ratings on Amazon. The customers experience seems to be a lot different from what the official description says about the product. They say on Amazon that it takes a photo every 30 seconds and can take 30000 images on a 1GB SD memory card which is quite different from what the user said that it took a photo every second and would only take 10,000 images because it put them all in just one folder. I wonder why such a big disparity? Also it doesn't seem very secure. If someone didn't want to be on camera couldn't they just unplug it or take the SD card out? Or they could steal the whole thing for that matter.
BTW, reCaptcha isn't even spelling real words today! Come on now!
Wow, I was really impressed with the LED spotlight, never knew that LED would be bright enough to be used as spotlights.
Personally I have played with some auditorium-class spotlights. Although they are real bright, but they get real hot & not-that-bright-anymore with color filters on.
With the fact that LED can last a decade & requires little maintenance, I think its a good investment.
I love Ben's shirt.
i tryed to play several episodes but the sound and video was
intermitent, what must i do to play the episodes correctly
without any hesitation.steven
The Zylight is great and well worth the money, but the paucity of information and instructions for things like their accessory kit are very frustrating.
If you buy one avoid extra's that rely on their accessory adapter. The Chimera lighting diffuser add-on, barn-doors etc rotate loosely according to gravity owing to a poor design - the adaptor may clamp tightly to the lamp but accessories don't clamp to anything so just freely rotate at will. Very disappointing.
And if, like me, you're in Europe and order the "Worldwide adapter" kit and battery you may be surprised to find out that there's no British plug attachment/lead - I had to rescue a lead from another unused piece of equipment which given the price paid and the "worldwide" tag seemed somewhat ridiculous.
Pretty fair summary, but PLEASE lose the family anchor, she says the dumbest things and drags any coherent info the male presenter wants to say to an all time low!!
