Panasonic 8-18mm Lens Unboxing
Переглядів 192Місяць тому
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

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...

Ig she wanted to wash them
Thks from jakarta indonesis,, I learn how to replace front brake,,
You're welcome.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
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 UA-cam. 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.
where is the next video when bleeding the brakes]
Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/G-2v05bBWEk/v-deo.html
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!
You're welcome!
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!
Thank you..! I just got the WA47CG3500AWk the manual that came with my washer didn't have any instructions that showed how to remove the tray.
You are welcome.
Quit trying to put a human traits on the animals
Great video and thanks for sharing. Where did you get the seatbelt latch emulator?
The company I got the parts from is called Airbag360, and this is the 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!
@@BobKovacs Great, thanks! It didn't say anything about the seatbelt latch emulator being in the kit, so I was wondering where it came from. My neigbor's XL7 is having the same issue - with the same expensive replacement parts, and the one XL7 at the junkyard had the same DTC set, naturally. Would like to make sure their airbags deploy. Wonderful video and thank you for the fast follow up!
You're welcome.
"I'll never be a silver fox, I'm more of a grey squirrel" had me laughing real hard there! Great joke and it's nice to see people harmlessly poke fun at themselves. That said, honestly you have great facial structure and I think with the right grooming techniques you could really "glow up", so to speak. You're not at all unattractive, but with a beard or stubble, and perhaps shaving your head and trying the bald look? I think you'd look absolutely badass. Thank you for the video too, Bob. Very informative!
Thanks! I came up with that joke as I was speaking... just an ad lib that seemed to fit. And I appreciate your grooming thoughts, so thanks for that that.
can i use it to clone drive with windows os to bigger ssd and replace the old smaller ssd with bigger fresh-cloned ssd drive?
Yes! It works very well for that. In fact, that's what I do in the video. Once you finish cloning onto the bigger drive, you will have to use Windows disc management tools to expand the partition. If Windows own built-in tools won't work (they were grayed-out and unavailable for me), you will have to use a third-party app to expand the partition and get access to the new space. That is what I discuss in the video.
@@BobKovacs Thanks for the clarification
Even big cats can see the value in swimming lessons for their kids. I know that tigers are expert swimmers.
When moms suggests you need a shower
Cat: sees object on a ledge Also cat: pushes object off the ledge No matter the size of the cat, it will still be a cat.
Shoulda': deep socket w/magnet, or a plug socket, NOT needle nose pliers. Take the wires off....?
Yes, you *should* use those things. However, my video is targeted at novices who probably don't have specialized tools. That's why I mention a plug socket, but show how to do it without.
THANK YOU!
You're welcome.
This is like lion version of funniest home videos. Imagine this is what lion childhood tapes look like.
I meant to use socket by hand until its in the thread . An old guy told me this when I was an apprentice engineer and its never failed me .
If you turn the socket backwards when you put the new plug in until you feel it jump and then tighten you will never cross thread , works for any threaded object .
I still recommend threading spark plugs into cylinder heads by hand using your technique or otherwise. It just takes making a mistake once and you could be facing a multi-thousand dollar repair job. Cheap insurance to do it by hand.
Thank you so much! I got it once but couldn't remember how and the "instruction manual" was zero help.
You're welcome.
Time for a bath...
I have a 1tb hdd in my computer but the computer says 43gb used and 106 free. that is only 149gb..the question is can I clone this to a 250gb ssd? please anyone.
This Wavlink device will make an exact copy of the source drive onto the destination drive. Therefore, if your source drive is 1TB, it will not copy onto a 250GB drive. Even if there is nothing on 750GB of the source drive, the Wavlink is a "dumb" product that does not care if the bit is 1 or 0. What ever it is, it gets copied. And you can't make a "dumb" copy of a 1TB drive onto a 250GB drive.
thank you Bob, That is what I thought but had to ask.
I had a friend change my spark plugs and air filter a few days ago, my gas mileage has noticeably been worse since, any troubleshooting tips? I bought the NGK Laser Iridium 94124 for a 2018 Mazda3. I should’ve done this myself 🫠
Other than the gas mileage being worse, how does the car run? Does it idle smoothly? Does it accelerate normally? If it idles rough, I suspect something wrong with the spark plugs. Maybe they are the wrong plugs for your car? Maybe one (or more) was not put in correctly? The air filter is really easy to do on my 2014 Mazda3... see my tutorial about changing the air filter: ua-cam.com/video/Ntc0riTUU3Q/v-deo.html Take your new filter out, examine it for any defects or blockages, and re-install it. Make sure it is seated properly in the filter housing. And let me know if any of this is helpful.
How single moms who don't respect the father treat their kids...
Come on! That was intentional. The mum said to herself the day the the cub misbehaved repeatedly that 'you will pay for your naughtiness. I'll just wait for you to get to the water, then, push you in'. ....and it came to pass.
The lioness looks underfed!
A light-hearted prank. She's not exactly the Susan Smith of lions.
Thanks so much for the video, the instructions that came with the door were crap. The video made it a breeze
You are welcome.
