UK Folding Three Pin Plug = Genius

Posted on June 23, 2009 | Leave a comment

This is absolute genius. The biggest problem with the UK plug is that its huge. In laptop bags, its always the item that takes up so much more thickness than anything else and when travelling abroad, it takes up a huge amount of luggage space for all the mains adapters one needs.

This design by Mr Min Kyu Choi is stunning. Lets hope it goes into production.

5D Mark Free audio meters from Trammell Hudson on Vimeo.

Well, its happened. The audio function has been hacked on the 5D MkII to allow an override on the automatic gain control. This is superb news and my congratulations go to Hudson for this.

There’s a thread on the Cinema 5D forum exploring this update to the camera’s firmware.
