New Sound Gear and Splatoon 2 Gear

New Sounds Gear
Photo-A-Day #4497

I may have a video freelance job happening soon and I need to make sure that I can record the best sound possible. I contemplated getting something new and expensive (I’d be reimbursed if I get this gig) but then looked into using the gear I already have. A few years ago I got a Zoom H1 recorder for going to Disney press trips. Well, I can use that with my Samsung NX1 through the Mic input. I just needed a way to connect it to my camera. This is why I picked up the Movo SMM5-R Universal Microphone and Portable Recorder Shock Mount. This will hold the mic on the camera. I also picked up the Movo WS1 Furry Outdoor Microphone Windscreen Muff but I think that was redundant because I picked up the MOVO MicRig a while back and it came with the same Muff, or Dead Cat. The Movo MicRig isn’t exactly the best microphone but can work fine for outside stuff. However, the Zoom H1 is a better microphone. You can see it in the video below.

Cape Cod – Woods Hole Aquarium & Kite-A-Pult

Love
Photo-A-Day #4494

The Kite-A-Pult was sent to us by Tucker Toys for free to play with and review. Opinions are our own.Today we took a break from the beach. Andrew has had enough sun for a while and we decided that the whole family was going to take Eva to Science School this afternoon. While she was in class Allison and I took Andrew over to the Woods Hole Aquarium for a little trip. We hadn’t been yet this season. Our trip was actually one of the longer ones that we’ve done and that ate up plenty of time. Andrew was very excited about all of the fish and really liked the touch tank. He was trying to touch one of the fish in the tank. He was shocked when he actually touched it.

After the aquarium we went over to Coffee Obsession for some cookies and lemonade. Andrew was a bit out of sorts and really tired. He decided that the double chocolate chip cookie that he wanted was not that good so he gave it to me and had mine instead. He didn’t even eat all of it which surprised me. So, when we came home everyone had naps. We all needed it. We were out of our regular routine and were all overtired.

When we woke up I grilled dinner for everyone including Shelby and the cousins. The kids were very excited to play together and have dinner together. A test run for tomorrow night when Eva makes dinner for everyone using the skills she learned at Johnson and Wales. After dinner I took Andrew to the beach to try out the kite-a-pult. More info about that after the video below.
