Good news, the video editing went smoothly so this one is now ready to share.

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/-iMAzdfu1Ms

I’m glad the Wand Company got in touch and offered to send a review sample of their Tricorder, as while I wanted to take a look at one it’s very unlikely I’d have spent $350 for the privilege. I’m sure they’ll sell as many as they can make - but it is a very niche subject for a video. Incidentally it’s no coincidence that I mentioned the Tricorder in the Singer Study Mate video the other week - I already knew this one was on its way.

Since this was a straightforward product demo, it seemed like the perfect subject for the first full video shoot in the new studio space. I expected some behind the scenes technical issues would be inevitable, so it seemed wise to minimise complications by showing something that should just work out of the box. On reflection it turns out that shooting the screen on this was trickier than I'd anticipated.

I may put this video out on Monday as it’s a holiday here in the UK and if other people’s bank holidays are anything like mine it’ll be a day to stay in the house. So this might be the ideal time to share a new video.

I struggled to think of a catchy video title, so I kept it simple as I doubt it will make any difference to the view count.

With this one completed I’m looking forward to starting work on my new video on Monday. Next week should be my first week in quite a while that's totally free from appointments, let's hope this run lasts.

Take care.
