Thank you thank you so much for this video! I have been shopping for Uilleann pipes for the last couple of years, but it’s so difficult. Living in the US without many pipe makers, virtually no possibility of looking at or handling a set of pipes before buying them, extensively long wait times from pipe makers and high prices make you hesitant to make such an investment. Those Hakam Din pipes price point looks so tempting even just as a trial set to get your feet wet. Also there aren’t enough videos like yours giving them a real try. In the video you gave them the fairest chance they could expect and what a phenomenal difference compared to the Fred Morrison pipes. Thanks again!

@@mikemakesmusic7 Thanks!..dont lose hope on finding a set, keep on the websites that support uilleanns (including facebook) and try to find a piper who will test a second hand set for you. Also, there are regular gatherings around the country called tionols with workshops and musicians who can maybe even lend you a set while you pursue your own. Good luck!

officially the course is closed Christmas Day but its understood that the public can play. I think the only trespass issue would be if someone was abusing the place.

Hello sir, may i ask you, what if crop video from fz1000 on a computer later to the same zoom as fz80, would it lose in quality that much or actualy because of biger sensor and more details it would be the same? I just now have option between fz80 fz1000 and fz300, i love fz80 zoom for birding, but sometimes i see it will loose details if i'd zoom it to 1200, so i thought that if shoot on harper cleaner fz1000 or fz300 and later crop it to the same zoom on pc, would it be a much of a difference? Thank you
@saanichpeninsulapipebandАй бұрын
This is the main point of this video. The larger sensor on the FZ1000 still has better image sharpness and dynamic light range handling than the FZ80, even when cropped in to the same equivalent as the longer zoom on the FZ80. Unless you have a real need for the smaller size of the FZ80, like you want something to put in your pocket or have limited carryon bags when travelling, then the FZ1000 (now obsolete, replaced by FZ2500, also now obsolete, replaced by ....whatever, but you get the idea). Always go for the larger sensor.

@saanichpeninsulapipeband oh got it so when you compared lighthouse and point it with a squer and zoomed more that 1200 on fz80, on the right side of a screen that was fz1000 on it max 400mm croped and zoomed video to the same size fz80, now i got it.Thanks for this video probably I'll go with fz1000 or fz300 that thing also bright at low light and as a bonus weather proof.

Honestly, I don't quite get all the hype around the ZS200 in spite of your video clearly showing how blurry many of its videos are compared with the FZ1000. And I have seen low light videos taken with the ZS200 elsewhere - they are a mess. I have been thinking of this 15x zoom camera for indoor and / or low-light concert videos because most concert venues ban professional / interchangeable lens / large cameras which rules out my FZ1000 but the gulf between them, especially at longer focal lengths, seems to be like day and night. There is also significant unit-to-unit quality variation - but the upside to that may be that you could pick up a good copy.

This was a really well done comparison. Would be interesting to see a comparison of the zs80 and zs100/zs200 as well, but this comparison can already be used to learn the major differences between those models. However the ZS80's 720mm equiv. may not have any advantage compared to cropping on the ZS200's 360mm (even for moon shots), as the focal length difference is less.

easy to do. edit the footage you want to keep in the Insta360 studio app (mine was on a Mac). Export it from the app as a 360 view output. I then edited it further in Final Cut (create a new project with 360 as its format size) boosting the shadows a touch and adding the titles. make sure the project in Final Cut is equirectangular in the output settings, not 4K or 1080p. Then output the finished video. Upload to KZbin and it recognizes it as a 360 video and formats it appropriately. Magic! You will lose the back and forth zoom in out but keep the lateral and vertical sweep. It’s fantastic. thanks for the comment.

I've tried for years to turn pipers onto the Maclaren Synthetic reed. I've even gone so far to give pipers his reeds, I've collected quite a few over the years. Most of them I've gotten from pipers that just don't know how to set them up. Most of them are from #15(medium easy) to #20(bordering on hard) and if a piper hears mine they get interested, but are reluctant to pay $50 for 1 reed, but when I tell them that the one I'm playing is 15 years old. When I stressed that in 15 years I've saved thousands from not having to buy cane reeds. Then I tell them that I also put a great stock in my Carbony Celtic Winds carbon fiber Bb chanter, they look kinda shocked, especially when they hear it. I contacted Rob Gandara, owner of Carbony and asked if he could make me a carbon Fibre chanter in Bb, told me he'd try. The reed plus chanter plays a constant Bb on my Korge tuner, forever, it gives me a better tone than my expensive ABW Henderson chanter. The chanter at the time cost me $500 because it took Rob new development to make it, now they run $360, about the price of a quality blackwood chanter. The carbon Fibre chanter is unaffected by temperature, humidity and Rob gives a lifetime warranty on it and it doesn't leave his shop unless it plays perfectly. Like I said, I stake my reputation on both. I really liked your video. Now you need to make one comparing plastic and carbon Fibre drone reeds, that would be interesting. I use the carbon Fibre Ross Omega drone reeds. They are extremely complex and hard to set up, unless you've been playing pipes for 30 years plus, I'm 55 years into Piping. If you decide to do drone reeds, I could set up some Omegas and send them to you, but I'd need them back, eventually, but the only problem with the Omegas is they quit making them because only expert pipers were patient enough to fool with them. We'll talk again soon, again, really liked the video, but don't worry about the squeaks and squawking of the reeds, it would have taken to much time to really set them up. I'm of Scottish/German ancestry, first one born in the U.S., so I like to tinker and expect perfection in mostly everything I set my mind to. Good luck in Piping.

I'm a professional piper in Las Vegas and I've played the same Maclaren Synthetic chanter reed in a Carbony Celtic Winds carbon fiber Bb chanter for 15 years, never given me any trouble. Plays exactly like a cane reed. It plays a consistent Bb all day. I also play Ross Omega carbon Fibre(original) drone reeds. I tuned and balanced my reeds perfectly and the Carbony chanter has never required any tape in it. I play 120 year old Hendersons in Ebony. I've played for 3 presidents, 15,000 people in an arena at Caesars Palace that was satellite transmitted to 163 countries. I trust the Maclaren, Omega and Carbony with my carrier. Incidentally, the Omega drone reeds are very complicated and hard to setup, but once they are, they stay that way permanently. I haven't returned chanter or drone reeds for 15 years. Saved a hellofalot of cash on reeds. I figured about $2,000 to $3,000 grand. Just can't beat that. BTW, I. Tuned my drones about 4 months ago and they're still in tune. Of course the 5 percent humidity help here.
@NorthOlbo10 ай бұрын
thanks for the thoughtful reply. Your deep experience with synthetic reeds, Maclaren specifically, goes well beyond my review! the piping world is steeped (or another description, held back) in tradition that can substitute improvement with nostalgia. I was at a smallpipes workshop where i had replaced my cane chanter reed and Mccallum blackwood chanter with a Walsh polypenco chanter and plastic reed. Brighter sound, easier holes to feel with the fingers, and forgiving to pressure changes. As the workshop instructor (a VERY well known piper who shall remain nameless) walked around tweaking everyone’s reeds his eyes bugged out and he looked like he had picked up a hot cat turd and claimed there was nothing he could do to help! No curiousity or question about sound, just that “if it’s nae cane it’s craaaaaap!”. I still dont use a synthetic in my band chanter as it’s too hard to sync with all the others who have cane, but it would be interesting if we all went synthetic. The band would likely play and sound better, especially in winter parades. cheers!

@@NorthOlbo Thanks for the explanation. For a year I've been trying to make a fake view effect on my kitchen wall. I want to do at least 3 portrait displays on the wall exactly like Atmoph does it. But if I'm just looping a 10 minute video, it would take away from the illusion. Currently I have a single 55" 4k Frame TV on my wall and I play 10 hour youtube videos of beaches, waves, or lakes. It's beautiful but splitting it into 3 smaller portrait displays is a more impressive effect. I thought Atmoph would be a more polished experience instead of a Matrox quad box and 3 displays. But the looping videos would break the illusion for me.
