Vacation and Goodies Upon Return
Posted by aonomus on May 17, 2010
So you may have noticed that I’ve been away for 2 weeks on a trip to Hong Kong/China, and a writeup of my travels is pending, but until then enjoy this photo of the goodies I have returned with.
The goodies:
- KG-UVD1P hand held transceiver and spare battery with charger and car adapter (not battery eliminator)
- 2x 4 position 2 axis joystick, 2x 2 position 1 axis joystick, 2x 2 position 1 axis joystick (momentary)
- 2x CM300DY-24H IGBTs
- Ultrafire C2 flashlight (single mode) with Cree Q5 emitter (200lumen approx), 2x 2400mAh protected batteries and charger
- 12V 20A SMPS
- Digital thermometer with K-type thermocouple (real cheap, only about <$8CAD for the whole kit with a case)
I also picked up a little ring of LEDs that approximately fits the lens adapter on my Canon S5IS camera, configured to run off of unregulated 12VDC, I plan to make a little battery pack and extension wire to let me do evenly lit macro photography without the normal lens-tube shadow that you’ve seen before in my photos. I need to laser cut an acrylic ring to get it to fit onto the lens tube as well (plus a diffuser), but more on that later. For now, a rough test shows that this idea works.
Yes, my desk is that dusty, especially after not touching it for 2 weeks.
