GEAR MAY COMPRISE ONE OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
Sony Handycam HDR-PJ760E 1080p/25or50Hz OSS(Optical Steady Shot).
Sony Handycam FDR-AX53 4k/25p 1080p/25or50Hz & GPS. OSS.
Sony A6400 4k/25p 1080p/25or50Hz
Sony APC 16-50mm OSS kit lens for A6400 (SELP1650)
Sony APC 55-210mm OSS lens for A6400 (SEL55210)
Lens adaptor for A6400 to mount old full frame Minolta lenses (I have many from my old 35mm photography days)
Numerous tripods.
GoPro Hero 3 Black with many attachments.
Nikon 12Mp still camera with 1080p video. Optically stabilised. Model P330, an oldie but a goodie especially in low light
Zhiyun Model M stabilising gimbal, plus a few mechanical hand steadycams.
No special lighting at the moment (pretty obvious) but will improve indoor lighting when I can go shopping.
Portable 8GB voice recorder.
Rode Videomicro microphone with windsock/deadcat. Can be used on all 3 Sony cameras.
Rode Lavalier.microphone
FOR MAINTENANCE/REPAIR WORK:
Several old crt oscilloscopes
Half dozen multimeters of various capabilities.
Hi impedance meter Honeytec Model A60B. Works like a megger measuring high resistance at voltages of 100, 250, 500 & 1000V. Used for checking diaphragm resistivity of coating.
To measure high voltage I just use my best meter to see if it is present. I have a design and the parts for a proper electrometer to measure 6kV with only a few % error but I don’t have a proper work area yet to build such things. So far, I haven’t had any EHT faults so haven’t really needed it.

Hi, Let me first thanks you for your sharing so much practical information on quad loudspeakers. Your video's inspire me to proceed with trying to by a pair of esl 63. Something that left me wandering; does it make sense to move the full range panels on top and the 2 bass panels at the bottom? Does is lift up the sound image? Is it feasible from a practical perspective? Many thanks for any feedback your would be able to share! Kind regards, Michel

thanx. Walker designed the layout for a good reason. I don't see the reason for changing it. Simply have the speaker at the right height (not on the floor) e.g "Stand and Deliver" or "Arcici" stands. And angle it to be facing you. Also the wiring might be a mess if you alter the wiring layout.
