How to Turn your Android device into Remote Live View CAM for Canon DSLR with Android App "DSLR Controller"! - 2011-08-06 15:49:45-04

I’ve been actually looking for something like this, a Live View camera that can be tethered to my Canon 7D DSLR camera so I can have better control while I take 1080P videos I upload to YouTube. It’s an Android app called DSLR Controller that turns any Android device (including Android smartphone/tablet) into a Live View cam. Why a need for such things? First of all, when you are taking a video with a Canon 7D, there’s no way to tell if your camera is in focus (as it’s manual control) nor a way to adjust it properly without being directly behind the camera. There are several “expensive” options that let you add a remote Live View camera but those options are usually around couple thousand bucks. When I am at home making videos on my desktop, I usually use the next best option, using the remote Live View on my Windows computer. This works really well as I can take videos and continuously adjust my camera in real-time. The problem becomes a bit more serious when I don’t have my computer near me. I could use a laptop for sure but that’s a LOT of equipment to carry around … Continue reading →

What You Could Do with 65,000 AOL CDs! - 2011-08-07 18:41:47-04

Everyone probably remembers that AOL sent every household in America at least 3 AOL CDs each back in the 90s and it’s no doubt one of the secrets AOL became so big. And indeed it’s ironic that AOL stopped growing once CD spam became outlawed. Now, what if you could turn many of those AOL CDs into something useful, like an art exhibit that shows how wasteful CDs are (when used in the wrong way), and this is exactly what architect Clémence Eliard and artist Elise Morin did. I always thought those pile of CDs would one day prove useful, for one, you can put a bunch of CDs backward-face-down all over your car’s dashboard to beat speeding cameras. There’s probably a bunch of ways to re-use them as reflective surfaces, the ideas are endless. So what? Next time you throw away that CD, remember that going to the waste will only result in more pollution for our environment, perhaps you can save them for your next artistic project or whatever. via technabob, dezeen This post What You Could Do with 65,000 AOL CDs! was originally from zedomax.com aol cds, cd art, DIY, Earth, Featured, Featured DIYs, Featured Earth, Hack, … Continue reading →
