Elevate Your Aviation Video Capture with Nflightcam’s Premium GoPro Accessories

Private and recreational pilots, together with a host of other aviation professionals, trust GoPro cameras to help them produce the highest quality video and audio captures possible. And if you’re a pilot who’s just getting around to seriously weighing whether a GoPro is the device you need to record your most memorable moments in flight, you only have to look at who else is using them, and how they’re using them.

GoPro is partnered with dozens of the most recognized action organizations in the world, and their cameras are used to capture everything from panoramic views of international sporting events, to the brutal 3-second, 0 – 500km/h acceleration of professional dragsters. The key to their effectiveness, however, is in the accessories. The precision mounting accessories that make 360° of smooth stadium rotation possible, are also responsible for the rock-hard stability needed to withstand a 5g top fuel takeoff. These are the types of mounting and recording devices that Nflightcam specializes in.

The Importance of Locating Underground Utilities as a Contractor

You’re on a job site, ready to dig, and you have no idea what’s lurking beneath the surface. There could be electrical lines, water pipes, or gas mains just waiting to turn your project into a disaster. For contractors, this subterranean labyrinth is both a blessing and a potential minefield. In this post, we’ll unearth the vital importance of pinpointing underground utilities as a contractor.  First, you’ll need a dependable tool that will do the detective work for you. Anyone working in construction or excavation will benefit from a CAT 4 kit that sends signals into the ground and listens for responses from buried utilities. It can detect not just power lines, but also telecom cables, water pipes, and more. Its trusty sidekick, the Genny4, sends out signals that the CAT can pick up. This helps you pinpoint the exact location and depth of the cables.

The Basics of HVAC Testing – Digital Manifold Gauges

Fridges and air conditioners work in similar ways. They use refrigerant to keep food fresh and air temperatures indoors bearable. Fridges rely on evaporation, or the constant compressing and depressurising of refrigerant to expel hot air outside. The same goes for air conditioners. Refrigerant collects heat inside the house, gets hot, transfers that heat outside, and cools.  Of course, there’s more science to this, but both appliances are effective at what they do. That is until there’s a drop in refrigerant or coolant pressure. 
In cases like these, you’ll see HVAC and refrigeration technicians use a manifold gauge. This is an instrument that measures the pressure of refrigerant in the system, assesses if there are leaks, and helps maintain the right pressure when the refrigerant or other coolant is topped up or replaced. 
Manifold gauges might not be everyday household tools, but they’re the spanners and hammers of HVAC and fridge diagnosis and maintenance. As such, there are more than a few types. Gauges differ by the number of ports they have and the accessories that can be attached to these ports. There are also analogue and digital types. Both are accurate but there are pros and cons to each. Digital manifold gauges from respected brands like German instrument giant Testo offer higher accuracy, unrivalled ease of use, and speedy operation. They also work with different types of refrigerants, so are also more versatile.

A Beginner’s Guide to Wireless Audio Transmitters and Receivers

Wireless technology has largely replaced wired communication systems in just about every imaginable field. It’s what makes mobile phones and signals bouncing off your router a possibility. But the internet and mobile telephony are just the tip of the iceberg where the principles of wireless communication have been implemented. Less obvious are the complex systems of industrial control and monitoring processes, that until recently relied on hard-wired systems, consisting of cumbersome lengths of cables and controls units. Going wireless has reduced costs for many businesses, simplified operations, increased functionality, and put security at the forefront.

Reasons Why You Should Buy a Refurbished Phone

When someone mentions refurbished phones, you typically think of second-hand phones, but they are two different types. A used phone is sold directly from the previous owner, with no security guarantee. Refurbished phones are pre-owned phones that people return to the manufacturer because there is some flaw, and they’re repaired and then resold. Some of these phones are never even turned on. The buyer probably didn’t like how it fits in their hand and returned it.
