Long-term reviews of budget photo & video gear.

KIT PLAN RECOMMENDATION:
Logitech K480 Wireless Multi-Device Keyboard
This image is 100% REAL, and no A.I. (or Photoshop compositing) were used to make it, and I know because I took it myself.

OVERVIEW:
This is a Bluetooth keyboard that has a 3-position dial that lets you switch between different devices. So, not only you can use it with a couple computers, but also with your phone!
MAIN POINTS:
PART 1: IS IT PORTABLE?
PART 2: IS IT AFFORDABLE?
PART 3: IS IT COMMON?
PART 4: HOW’S THE QUALITY?
PART 5: IS IT EASY TO USE?
PART 6: NEEDS ADD-ONS?
PART 7: WHERE DO I BUY?
PART 1: IS IT PORTABLE?
Yes, it's portable because it's a small keyboard but it's just big enough to have almost regular sized keys, but no 10-key number pad.
PART 2: IS IT AFFORDABLE?
Yes, especially compared to other compact Bluetooth keyboards.
PART 3: IS IT COMMON?
It's on Amazon, and it's made by a fairly large, reputable company, so my guess is they have a lot of them to sell.
PART 4: HOW’S THE QUALITY?
The build quality is good and feels like good plastic, but you do need to be a little careful with the battery cover (not that you couldn't duct tape it on if the little index tab broke).
PART 5: IS IT EASY TO USE?
Yes, it even has a sticker with the setup instructions on it, and they're pretty easy to follow.
PART 6: NEEDS ADD-ONS?
I switched to rechargeable batteries, so that the only upgrade you can do.
PART 7: WHERE DO I BUY?
I bought it on Amazon.
RECOMMENDATION:
This is one of my favorite products, and I even use it for my workstation at home (because my desk space is limited) but it's portable enough that I can take it on-location as well.
These reviews are just my opinion and are focused on my Q.P.A.C.E. packing method, so they're not comprehensive. I wrote these mostly to help me remember what items worked for my KIT PLANS (and which didn't). If I said anything negative I apologize, as these products still may work well for you in your situation, but they were not Q.P.A.C.E (Quality, Portable, Affordable, Common, Easy-to-Use) enough for my budget filmmaking KIT PLANS.
