As a Digital Imaging Technician, I deal with a LOT of camera cards.
I created a bash script which can be assigned to each button of a Stream Deck and trigger the app 'ParaShoot' via its API to erase a specific card.
Each of these 3D printed pucks can hold 18 Micro SD cards and makes them so much easier to keep track of.
\nI printed in red, orange and green colours for on set organisation of 'hot' cards to be offloaded and cards which are safe to format.
\nI took the below design from Thingiverse and customised the G-Code in Prusa Slicer

This keeps it nice and grippy and also makes it easy to determine which side is the lid. We don't want to be opening this upside down with 18 cards inside...!
\nSmooths out the top surface of the main part for a nicer look
\nTwo tone colour effect, this is how I achieved the black caps on the top and bottom 1mm of the part.

This display shows how many e-scooters are at my nearest parking zone, with their battery percentage and registration number.
\nNow I can see at glance when is best to leave my house without refreshing the Tier App twenty times...!
\nI used an old PCB I'd designed on a previous project with an ESP32 board and OLED display. I programmed this to connect to WiFi and retrieve the latest scooter info every minute.

\nI placed a tactile button under the LCD screen making the screen itself a button but external buttons can also be hooked up.
\nThe primary drive for making this was for sue as a gameshow buzzer, an external 'big red button' can be plugged in to the device and so each contestant in a studio could have their own wireless button that can trigger VFX events in OBS studio or Vmix.
It can even trigger lighting changes and PTZ camera moves.
If you watch closely you'll see that as when i press on the screen the button the the Streamdeck is also actuated.
3D printed travel cover for the Elgato Stream Deck printed in black rigid PLA and flexible orange TPU plastic.
\nMy trusty StreamDeck goes everywhere with me so I designed this for protection and to keep the lcd buttons scratch free.
\nAs a bonus, MicroSD cards fit perfectly in the button recesses so I use it to keep them organised when I'm wrangling lots of GoPros!
\nThis proof of concept mobile app was built using the Z-Cam SDK as a reference.

Great for creating tens or even hundreds of perfectly named Avid Bins in a flash!
Paste in a text list of desired Avid Media Composer bin names and and this tool will automatically generate your bins, name them and provide you with a download link.
RAV will convert your EDL timeline in to a spreadsheet which can be opened in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers and Open Office.
\nAvid Media Composer's error messages are notorious for making no sense.
This A.I will attempt to decipher them as well as answer your Avid queries in the snarky tone of an exasperated post production professional.
I started this tool as a bit of April fools fun but noticed that so many people were using it that I kept it online.
This uses the Open A.I Whisper model to transcribe an uploaded media file along with timestamps and frame thumbnails.
It then provides download links to a Word Document and Spreadsheet file.
This tool is best used for shorter video files, as I am not charing for it I do not dedicate much processing power to it.

For delayed start recording, this device will power the camera on and trigger it to begin recording after a user set delay in hours.
\nThe Z-cam was powered from a 191 watt-hour V-lock battery and recorded directly to a 2TB SSD which allowed many hours of record time.
\nThis device can also be adapted for wireless remote control and can control most of the cameras functions such as record/stop, on/off, focus and more.

Initially, it was developed for a natural history television production and was controlled via laptop.
\nI later added an OLED screen and button controls for super easy operation.
\nI also developed a mobile app which could control the slider via bluetooth.
