Panasonic 8-18mm Lens Unboxing
zhlédnutí 205Před 2 měsíci
This is the unboxing of a Panasonic 8-18mm lens for a MicroFourThirds mount camera. There is not a lot in the box, but it was a little confusing trying to figure out what came with the lens. I take that guesswork out with this unboxing video. We shot this video using a Panasonic LUMIX GH6 camera and a Fulaim X5 mic. It was edited using Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve software.
April 8, 2024 Eclipse - last 45 seconds
zhlédnutí 777Před 3 měsíci
I shot the April 2024 eclipse at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. This is the last 45 seconds or so of totality, and I faded it out after just a couple of seconds after the end of totality. The camera was a Panasonic LUMIX GH6 and the lens was a Panasonic 100-300mm zoom lens (zoomed all the way to the 300mm focal length). This is the equivalent of a 600mm lens on a full-frame came...

Мамуля какая ты молодец! Так переживаешь.
That water looks disgusting🤢
Thank you!
Thank you Bob! This video saved me over 200$ in labour!
Thank you for the video. I have one of these that I've been using as an external docking port to read data off a bunch of old hard drives I had in a box. Now, I'm getting ready to get rid of the old drives, but want to wipe them first. So, I wiped one drive and am using that for the source. I was having problems getting the cloning to start because the manual says you just hold the button until all the lights turn on. Well, they started flashing for a few seconds, then went off. It didn't mention that you had to let go and press it again to actually start the process. That step was important. Anyway, now that it's actually cloning, it seems to be a much faster way to wipe a bunch of drives since the data doesn't have to go through USB. Plus, it frees up my computer and I can put it into sleep mode while the drive clones. Overall, I'm happy with this device. It was a VERY easy way to go through all the old drives to find any data I may have missed. Just shut it off, drop the drive in, turn it on, and it shows up as an external drive. No need to make sure the SATA connectors are lined up properly. It works great for 3.5 or 2.5 drives, SSD or spinning media.
Sarabi’s joke on simba, no wonder we don’t see her in the lion king 2
And to think the dealership wanted $500 to change spark plugs!!!
There are consequences for being naughty. 😂😂
Good job!!!
Use some silicone to plug any holes drilled and fill in any gaps. My door sweep was trash but I will request a replacement as mi e was damaged
Nice, i bought 8 pieces, so iam happy. Thank you for testing
Bob, just wanted to let you know that I still go back to your mazda videos. All very helpful stuff, appreciate what you do!
Very nice. Beautiful voices and makes me smile. They deserve lots of respect and honor. Thank you for your service. God bless you, all of us, and the USA.
Kept getting the runaround from dealerships listed on the recall notices and now the notices are trying to send me WAY out of state to maybe get this repaired. Gonna install this myself for less than the gas and hotel price thanks for the video!
You're welcome. I've had mine in for more than three years now, and it's still doing the job.
Great video Bob can you please by any chance make n followup video on how to make the other space available plz and what software to use That was also exactly what i got the wavlink for and yes now im stil back to square one😢
Making a video that shows that is a good idea, but it will be quite a while before I can get to it. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you
You're welcome.
Thanks dad!
This video was super helpful. Turned out to be a lot simpler process for a maintenance process than I expected.
Yes, it turns out that spark plugs on this car are really easy. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Mommy got MBA in marketing 😂😂
I had started going grey in my late 20’s . By my late thirties I was really salt and pepper on top and I have black hair. So it really showed . After about a week and a half it I could see the results. My hair now looks amazing. Leave it I. For about 5-8 minutes. I do basically what this guy did but I use it everyday. My hair is jet black again . I look like I’m in my 20’s again . I’ll be 42 in a week . Works great also I’m from India and we have amazing hair that can be dyed over and over without losing strength
Thanks for sharing your story.
Yes it works amazing
Sir do you have any tutorial how can i do the oil service on it .?
No, I do not have a tutorial on changing oil in an engine like this. It is very easy, however -- just drain the oil and pour fresh oil into the filler hole. There is usually a drain screw, and the filler hole is often the same one that has a dipstick to show you the oil level. An engine this size holds about a quart of oil (about a liter). Here is a video that shows servicing the oil in a typical generator: czcams.com/video/itd6j_VsoUI/video.htmlsi=zCOA6rR8welbwbkJ
@@BobKovacs ah alright thanks sir
Thanks for the video! Very helpful! I’ll just say make sure you have the door closed when attaching the piston or you’ll have some extra holes 😂
Good tip! :-)

Amazing ❤❤❤❤
yah, i doubt thats the actual mother. just a secretly frustrated woman looking at the kid his man has with "the other woman"'
Hands-down, the best instructional how to video ever produced for CZcams. Thank you!
You're welcome.... and thanks for the lovely comment.
Could be performed by robots.
This video was so helpful. Made the installation seamless. Avoided mistakes and all the aggravation with home projects. THANK YOU!!
You're welcome.
Thanks great video. Going to do it tomorrow first time myself!
You're welcome.
why are monkeys laughing?
Your assessment on its photo is spot on. I just bought a used one and noticed its imagine is a bit soft near the edges. I was hoping its still picture quality would be higher, given its lens is from Leica. Nevertheless, I didn't want to spend hundred of dollars for a travel friendly camera with 30x optical zoom capability. This used one will serve me well.
Thanks for sharing.
What should the gap be on the spark plugs?
I did not check the gap and just put them in the way I got them. I find that the gap is always correct right out of the box. However, I saw this in an online manual: Standard: 0.75-1.10 mm (0.030-0.043 in) New spark plug (reference): 0.75-0.85 mm (0.030-0.033 in) You're probably safe around .9mm (.036 in.)
@@BobKovacs Thanks. I've got over 182,000 miles on the original spark plugs so I'm thinking it's about time to change them.
@@tmwei396 Ha! I think so, yes.
Do you use conditioner afterwards, Bob?
No, I never use conditioner. However, Just For Men Control GX comes in two versions: with conditioner and without conditioner. If you look carefully at the box I hold up, it is the version that has conditioner. I use the two versions interchangeably, and I can not tell the difference between them. They both work/look/feel/smell exactly the same, as far as I can tell.
@@BobKovacs Thank you, Bob.
This is how my kiddos ve learned to swim
I've had mine for PROBABLY 7 yrs. Great installment video. Sorry, I can't find any real help with MY issues, so I'm just asking on here. The damned volume is an issue. It randomly LOWERS. Does anyone else have this problem??
I still have this sound bar and use it nearly every day... and it still works great. I can't help you with your random level change problem, but I hope someone shows up who can.
@BobKovacs Thanks Bob. It's a GOOD system! Just now getting irritating. I unplugged both the Woofer & bar. I had no idea there was even a reset button behind the subwoofer until a few weeks ago! 😂 It helped a little.
For the camera honey
Disgusting: return these animals to their natual habitat
This went down as the first animal prank captured on camera. I’m not lion (lyin’).
Thank you so much! I want to be more hands on with taking care of my Mazda and this video definitely helped. Will be buying spark plugs today and changing them myself. Thank you Mr. Kovacs.
You're welcome.
Im not a scaffolder but how does it support itself, all that weight of metal ? The joints or brackets or whatever they are called are what, tightened by hand ? How do they know each and every one is as tight as every other ? Surely the higher it gets, the more weight it has to hold. Sorry if I haven’t a clue about any of it. I would be interested to know.
That interests me, too. Steel is a very strong material, but the weight of all the steel above the bottom row must be tremendous. Still, there are 2,000-foot tall antenna towers, and the only thing supporting the steel at the top is the steel at the bottom. So the steel scaffolding must be able to support itself up to a pretty great height.
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone For Mel You're not the best? No, you're the best, babe. You're not my number 1, you're my only one. 💟💟
Gotta do something to keep entertained in here 🦁
Video is very straight forward, My break lights aren't staying on when I press them all the time have already checked the fuse so this is the next step... fingers crossed Took a lil more than twenty mins but seems to have worked !! Thank you
You are welcome.

I just went to Gettysburg for the first time. I had no idea this existed until randomly reading park incidents and reading about an incident at this tower so I started doing research about it. I am so glad you caught this on film and uploaded. I was hoping someone would have. Thanks!

My dad taught me to swim the same way,not that bad after I got out of the bag😮
Bob, Curious to know where you purchased and the part number for the seat belt latch eliminator . I have the 2008 Suzuki SX4 I found the airbag 360 but not the seatbelt latch eliminator. Any help would be great. Thanks Pat
This is the Airbag360 page for the part: airbag360.com/suzuki-sx4-front-passenger-airbag-seat-occupancy-sensor-emulator-bypass-188-p.asp The emulator and the seatbelt simulator are sold together -- buy the emulator and you get both parts. Good luck!
