alright guys so this is my experimentthis is a little different format than I normally do this is just kind of anintro to an experiment that I'm gonna be doing over the next few days and bythese boxes you may it guess what it is I'm looking to see if I can use an iPadpro as a replacement for my laptop so what are some of the things I do on mylaptop I do video editing use office tools do some basic photo editing andlike GIMP and I also stream games to my laptop from my gaming computer so I dida little bit of research and found out that you can do a lot of those thingswith the iPad pro iOS 11 in split screen you have somemultitasking capabilities so I got the iPad pro I got the 12.

9"because I figured the 10.

5" would be a little bit too small for what I wantto do I didn't like the Apple keyboard case so I got the Logitech slim combokeyboard case the Apple Lightning to SD card reader so I could both videos from my camera andthen I got the SteelSeries Nimbus controller for some gaming so the gamingI want to do is some of the games that are on the iPad Pro obviously but I want tostream from my computer there's an application called moonlight that let'suse the Nvidia gamestream to stream applications to your device they have itfor iOS so I'm gonna try that I did not get the pen because really the stuffthat I do I wouldn't really have any need for the pen for the video editingI'm gonna use a luma fusion that is a professional video editing software andthe image editing you know there's some really professional stuff like affinityI'm not gonna spring for that that's 20 bucks and it's a little more advancedand the stuff that I would typically do honestly so I'm gonna look for a cheaperoption but I'm gonna put it all together show you what my setup looks like I'mnot going to go too much into the apps at this point because I want to use themfor a little while this is just kind of an intro to this test that I'm doing solet me get this all put together and I'll show you what it looks like I'llset up all right so everything set up and I'm just gonna give you a quick lookat what everything looks like I'm not gonna go into a full review yet but justa quick overview so first let's talk about this Logitech keyboard case so thefirst reason I went with this one over the Apple provided one is the keyboarditself it's a much better keyboard on this one it's much more comfortable totype on the key travels much better and it's better for long typing sessions allthe hotkeys at the top work just fine for controlling things like the screenbrightness the sound home button is on there so you can get right to the homescreen and it's backlit those are all options that I really really like onthis version the next thing is the kickstand this kickstand is greatbecause it lets you put the tablet completely flat almost upright oranywhere in between next is the SteelSeries Nimbus and thisis a xbox style controller you know it's got a l1 l2 the XY a B all the buttonsthat you would expect on a controller I'm hoping to use this with some gamesin iOS and also with the moonlight streaming from my desktop that's aboutit right now I just have the basic install of iOS 11 I just upgraded theiPad pro to that latest version and I'm gonna play with it and then do a videocoming up very soon if you're interested in that please hit that subscribe buttonand then hit the bell next to it it'll notify you when I put one of thosevideos up I'll create a playlist as well thanks so much for watching guys I willsee you in the next video come see me on Instagram Twitter and Facebook I lovemeeting new people on there and chatting with them and I will see you guys in thenext video thanks so much.

Use Canon DSLR as Webcam

Hey guys so today I'm gonna be showing you how you canuse your Canon Video DSLR as a webcam using something like skype or or any otherapplications you might need for.

All you need is your Canon Video DSLR,the software that came with it and an internet connection, basically It's really simple to do so let's get started so first off just take your EOS Digital SolutionsDisk and install the EOS Utility This should have come with your Canon Camera And next just plug in the usb cable that was supplied with your camera, in to the side Now, I'm using the Canon 60D.

It should also workwith the T2i, 7D, and 5D Mark II okay so now once you have your camera connectedto your computer go ahead and open up the EOS Utility just a second to startup and click camera settings and remote shooting Now you've got your remote shooting panel where youcan make your adjustments to your camera Things like shutter speed, f-stop, ISO, pretty much all of your settings that you can do manually on yourcamera But what we want to focus on is the livevideo shoot Click on that, you'll hear your shutter open and, thereI am So this is a live feed coming from my DSLR that's a really handy tool that Canon has providedand works as kind of a a live monitor but then how do we get this act as a webcamwell it's pretty easy.

Just gonna minimize that, And we're gonna go to - manycam.

Com now Manycam is a freeapp for windows and macintosh that allows you to run external pre-recordedvideos and external cameras that wouldn't normally be able to run asa webcam it allows it to do that, so click on downloadand install that - I already have it installed so once you have that installed, open it up and you get a screenlike this now click on the desktop tab Now what this does is it takes your entire desktop and displaysit as a webcam so Skype and various kinds of messengers willrecognize this feed as a webcam So now bring your live view back up and I'm just gonna scale this down a little bit so that we have room to do some either thingson the screen at the same time go back to Manycam, now instead of displayingyour entire desktop which you don't want click custom desktop now this bringsup a big gray square Now what you want to do is scale the square to fit your camera view now once you've got thatplaced where you want, click the little 'x' and now we've got a live feed from the DSLR in Manycam but one down side is because i assume it'sbecause of the free app it does watermark it but if this is your only option it's butter then nothing, and in my casethis is what I use if I need to use a video webcam so now we go in to Skype We're gonna going the Skype preferences and select Manycam Virtual Webcam as your video feed and there is it, that's what people see when you'reon a video call downside to this is that you are using a screencapture serviced so anything that you place in front of your live feed, if I go like that this is going to pop up so you have to make sure to keep things clear of the live view screen and the other thing is that Manycam does not deal with the audio its videoonly so you will have to use a seperate audio source you can just get a cheap little usbmic that works just fine and that's pretty much all there is to it so thanks for watching i hope this was helpfulif you have any questions feel free to leave a comment belowand I'll definitely get back to you see you next time.
