A built in GoPro mount? I'm surprised I've not seen this before!

 

Yeah in a way surprising. Didn't really have any difference to my choice as I have helmet mounts anyway, but I suppose it doesn't cost too much and for the manufacturer.

 

Right thats me done for a while

 

The canon lense to the left. Wonderful bit of kit!

 

Finally, now I can get rid of the random metal poles ( that used to be my flatmates Lidl wardrobe, lolz ) I have cobbled together to hold my backdrops, and replace it with a proper setup.

I also set up my new benches and sander/drill/bandsaw; I do love that 'new tools' smell...

 

Mount's held in with velcro tabs on the inside for when you don't need it it's becoming more common place to have them.

 

YES!!!! Finally, after weeks of trying to buy this damn thing due to high demand, meaning they are selling out as soon as retailers receive stock, and pre-orders etc.
Retailers are taking advantage by increaseing the price as soon as stock is available! With the likes of RipOffClockers charging £719.
Good old Amazon, and the other hand, had stock early this morning charging the cheapest at £603. So I had to buy one quickly, before normal people started to get up and realise they had stock! Result!

What did I order?

Nothing more than the Godzilla of all monitors! - Philips 40" BDM4065UC 4K UHD Monitor.

 

I hope you are aware of this http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1844919

 

Yes this is down to not setting up the display properly. Or just a bad batch. I've read countless threads regarding all problems people have encountered, and most are easily fixed with a firmware update. Most reviews are when the monitor came out 5 months ago, so I'm sure with the monitors bought now will include the latest firmware etc.

I'm sure if these problems were common, then TFT central would of wrote about it.
Also anyone who brought the monitor (Mainly enthusiasts) Would have stated this in there reviews on the Monitor.

I will make a thread and post anything I find when I've tested the monitor.

 

Konica Autoreflex T4 with Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f/1.7, both in excellent condition.
I actually wasn't planning on buying any more lenses and stuff, but a seller suddenly contacted me over a bid I made more than a month ago, and the price was great (€20, shipping included) so I couldn't refuse.
The Hexanon AR 50mm is supposedly one of the sharpest lenses ever made for 35mm film, so I regret nothing.

 

Not new but still nice



Mint condition, used, Dell u2410 for £80

 

What a bargain, and great Monitor! - I remember the three I had.

 

That's an absolute bargain! I'm still using a couple of these on my main setup

 

This can only go well.

Nanolex Ultra Glass Sealant Set.

 

An Antec P160. There will never be another case like it! I still have mine. Retired long ago, but it housed my main gaming rig for about 5 years! Eventually the hardware I was upgrading to called for a case with better cooling, so it was clad in bubble wrap and shelved.

A little part of me died the day that Antec ceased production of aluminium cases.

Very nice. Looking forward to a detailing thread bump with some results when you get this applied. I use Gtechniq G4 & G5 and whilst it's incredibly good and durable on the side windows, I find the windscreen needs topped up every 4-6 weeks, especially in dirty, salty road conditions during the winter.

 

Picked up a quart of teak oil for woodworking, mostly my new arrows.

 

Some of the goodies arrived today

Yes, it's a coffee grinder. No, I don't expect anyone here to really "get it" (maybe one or two). Let's just say it's like living with integrated graphics for years and then upgrading to a pair of Titans.

 

You're insane. What model is it? I can't find it We've got the E8D retail grinder that was liberated from the wife's old workplace when they wanted to throw it out (!). Shame they weren't getting rid of the tank as well, but it was a bit large anyway.
