iJet Nav Pro Wireless RF Remote Control Stereo Docking Station - Unboxing & Review

noreply@blogger.com (FranksTechHelp) — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 01:49:02 PDT

It not only lets you control the iPod playback, but also lets you see what's playing on the bright and easy to read OLED display. The remote even works through home walls and ceilings up to 150 feet, giving you control from virtually anywhere around the home, while playing game, out on the patio -- even from the backyard pool! I love it while playing cards and not having to run over to the iPod to handle the music.

No more downloading the play list and artists info to the remote. The iJet-Nav-Pro continually communications to the iPod via the iJet-Nav-Pro docking station. Therefore all information is passed real time to the remote as you scroll along. Therefore this is not like other product that require you to download the list information which can get out of sync every time new song information is added to the iPod. No more long delays waiting for the list info to download.

Remote Control Features:
View - Artist List, Play List, Song List, Current Song/Next Song, Current Song/Artist, etc.

Control - Equalizer Settings, Shuffle, Pause, Play, Next Song, Previous Song, Volume, Power Up/Down. Fast scroll through the Play List / Artist List / Song Lists real time via the RF wireless link and much more!

The remote has a rechargeable battery and charges while not in use on the docking station and comes with the wall power unit, audio cables, stand support and manual.

Compatible with:
iPhone 4, 3G, 3GS (See below using the iPhone), iPad iTunes, iPod Classic, iPod Photo, iPod Nano all gens, iPod Mini, iPod 4G, iPod 5G, iPod 6G, iPod Nano (including 5th Gen.

Mini DV MD80 9/9 - Mac OSX - Charging, Setting Date Time, Downloading, Editing Tips

In this video I revisit the Mini DV MD80 and show you the general setup for Mac and how to charge the unit, set the date and time, access the files and give some suggestions for editing on the Mac. Sorry for the lack of screen casting but the MD80 conflicted with VideoGlide for some reason and I had to use my video camera by hand. I haven't figured out the web cam function for Mac yet but will post a followup if & when I find a solution on how to make it work.

Ultrafire WF502B 300 Lumen Torch Flashlight 2/2 - Brightness Test, Nighttime, Snow

noreply@blogger.com (FranksTechHelp) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 18:37:33 PST

I have owned this flashlight for over a year now and I've been very pleased with it. I've dropped it, it's been in the ocean, I've used it in freezing weather and it just keeps going. I wish the batteries lasted for more than an hour but it's awesome none the less and well worth the money.

The CR123A rechargeable batteries will blink some when the batteries are almost empty giving you time to finish. The 18650 (3000Mah) single battery will just go black with no warning when empty, but it seems to last a little longer, you choose.

Spy Watch DVR 1/2 - Review, Features, Video Test Footage 1280x720

noreply@blogger.com (FranksTechHelp) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 18:30:09 PST

In this video I review the HD 1280x720 spy watch and show you some features and test footage from this unit. The test footage at 5:40 was shot in low light so the quality and frame rate aren't the best. This unit works really well in full daylight and produces good quality video under normal lighting conditions.

Modes:
Turn power on and unit will start recording automatically after 20 seconds.
Turn power on and tap same button 2 times for voice recording mode.
Turn power on and tap same button 3 times for photo mode.
Turn power on and tap same button 4 times for motion activated mode.
In motion mode the light will remain blue until the unit detects motion, it will then blink blue while recording.
Motion detection mode is not very stealthy on this unit but regular recording works great and is not detected.

Charge for 8 hours first two times and "until light stops blinking" for daily use.
Watch part 2 for setting date time stamp, resolution, charging and accessing files.

Save the file and copy it to the root folder of the camera, disconnect camera, turn on power and let it record a video, stamp should now be set.

Setting Resolution:
Create a file named framesize.txt and enter the following single digit to set the resolution.
Enter a single 0 for 1280x720
Enter a single 1 for 640x480
Enter a single 2 for 352x288
The file must only contain a 0, 1 or a 2 by itself to set the resolution.
