If the person being filmed does not need to walk around, just go for a wired one. You'll get better quality from a cheap wired lav than you would from a cheap wireless system. Have a look at an Audio Technica ATR-3350. About £23 and worth a fair bit more IMHO.

Are you looking at dong 'piece to camera' type stuff (basically someone speaking into the camera)? If so, you are better off going for a lapel mic, especially if the room you are filming in is not acoustically treated. If this is the case, even a good external mic fitted to the camera will...

Fair enough glad you're happy :-) Jonathan, you have a few options here. Let me know if you need any help.

Five years after product being discontinued. May as well be lifetime I know, but worth pointing out. See my post above. This isn't assumption, 24 years IBM, AT&T, NCR, Computercenter, Sun etc etc... cheap small switches cause all kinds if issues. HP used throughout all industries because they...

Calm down chaps, no one is dissing TP-link Kit, I have used one of their routers in the past. I'm just offering a user my own perspective from years of building networks for companies large and small. Cheap-brand small switches have caused many issues in networks I have seen. They are often...

Each to their own, but I wouldn't go to trouble of replacing what you have already with TP-link gear. The whole HP Procurve range come with a lifetime warranty (which they honour) and there is good reason why they offer this - their kit is rock solid. The 8 port 1810G can be had for £70, so...

My last reply was for Jonathan, quoting on TP app broken on my ipad!

OK, the first thing you should do is get some sort of benchmark. Have a look at this page http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-basics/31220-how-fast-is-your-network-five-ways-to-measure-network-speed and use one of the tools to test the speed between two devices connected directly to the...

Give us a rundown Jonathan of your setup (router/switch, computers etc)?

Too true, but not a great expense for a simple managed switch.. In fact, probably a worthwhile investment, as most of the NAS setups I have seen running over broadband routers do not run to their best. Also, if you are storing large photos, audio or video, you could benefit from enabling jumbo...

I would avoid. MS are not known for making the best and most open web development tools that they stick with! As suggested, look at one of the Content Management Systems such as Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal. Alternatively, it is is a photography site, look at Zenfolio or SmugMug.

Indeed and I can confirm that the MacBook Air (2012) with OS X Mavericks (10.9) seems to work flawlessly over SMB 2 with a QNAP TS-421 that I am setting up for a client. If you are using a QNAP, consider accessing it over iSCSI. This is a highly efficient protocol, which is used for smaller...

Wrong tool for the Job! You really should be using a page layout program for this. By all means use PSE to prepare the images, but you will get better results using something like InDesign or even Apple Pages (if you have a Mac) or Publisher as you have suggested. Remember to convert your...

There is some evidence that iOS 7 has more crashes on the 5S, so you could be onto something with regards to the 64-bit capability playing some part. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/11/iphone_5s_blue_screen_of_death However, should this be the case, it would suggest a serious bug or...
