AmazonBasics aluminium 62″ tripod with ball head – review

30th January 2016 By Gidon 2 Comments

I've reviewed other items in the AmazonBasics range, and I've found them good value. Their 62" tripod is no exception, and is far better than any other tripod I've used at this price point. The tripod comes in its own padded carry case, and there's room to get it back in again once out. The instructions even explain how to close the tripod for fitting in the bag (the legs … [Read more...]

Elegoo Mars 2 Pro review | Resin 3D printing introduction

24th November 2021 By Gidon 2 Comments

The Elegoo Mars 2 Pro is a compact 3D resin printer that produces incredibly detailed 3D prints that almost look injection moulded. And despite its impressive build quality it is reasonably priced at around £250 or $250. It almost magically turns liquid resin into 3D models using UV light. But I’ll try and demystify the process with an introduction to resin printing. Then … [Read more...]

Use any GoPro as a webcam | GoPro webcam mode vs cheap capture card vs wireless | Free to $10

Before this feature was released a few months ago, I wrote an article with an accompanying video about a free way to use your GoPro as a wireless webcam - but it only worked with … [Read more...]

Creality Ender 3 review | Best budget 3D printer in 2020? | + Introduction to 3D printing

13th August 2020 By Gidon 9 Comments

The budget Ender 3 from Creality costs as little as £150 or $150, making it one of the cheapest 3D printers available. But it can produce prints that look like they’ve come off a printer at least four times its price. I’ll start with a brief introduction to 3D printing, explaining how it works, how much consumables cost and what it can be used for.  I’ll then provide … [Read more...]

AmazonBasic’s laptop sleeve for MacBook Pro review

13th August 2015 By Gidon 1 Comment

Finding a case for your new pride and joy is always a frustrating task. I usually just chuck my MacBook Pro 13" into my rucksack - but after a few years of abuse I thought I'd take a (pretty safe) gamble on the incredibly cheap Apple cases in the AmazonBasics range. I got the AmazonBasics laptop sleeve for my 13" 2011 MacBook Pro. But they do cases in this range for everything … [Read more...]
