Views: 164,109 Binary/POV custom wristwatch All > Tech > Inventions > Binary/POV custom wristwatch by natetrue Kits and preassembled watches are available here. Recently my good friend Andru Edwards and I got into a heated discussion about watches. My old Fossil Abacus PalmOS watch was getting pretty worn, and I was shopping around for new watches. Having seen a cool video-playing watch over at Gear Live, I was thinking I might upgrade to one of those, purely for geek-bling factor.

Andru, being more grounded than I am as far as fashion is concerned, suggested that the video playing watches I was looking at (I was searching DealExtreme for MP4 Watch) were all profoundly lame. Of course, the TokyoFlash watches look amazing. So what does a maker do when he wants something but doesn't want to buy it? I decided to go with a binary representation, since it would require the fewest LEDs to represent the most information.

Watch features Here's how I made it: That was just a detail, though. Assembly. uWatch - A DIY Programmable Scientific Calculator Watch. Understanding Motor and Gearbox Design. Manfrotto ML840H Maxima-84 Hybrid LED Panel ML840H B&H Photo. The Manfrotto Maxima-84 Hybrid On-Camera LED Light is a constant video light that transforms into a flash unit for still photography. A push button on the back activates flash mode; an included sync cable connects and syncs the light to your camera; and upon your snapping a photo, a flash goes off at 4 times the brightness of the max output in video mode, which is 670 lux at 3 ft. when the light's 0-100% dimmer is set to 100%. The native color temperature in video mode is 5600K daylight color.

The light powers by a built-in rechargeable battery and comes with a charger and four international socket adapters for the charger -- for the US, EU, UK and China. The battery lasts about an hour-and-a-half. The ball head can hold the light in portrait or landscape mode -- it connects to the light by shoe mount, and the light has a shoe on both its long side and short side. Rocketry. DIY. DIY Drones.
