Voltlog #221 – Harvesting Electronic Components With a 3-Axis Gimbal

Hello everyone, welcome to a new Voltlog, this time it’s a bit different, I’m out in the nature, enjoying this beautiful day in the mountains and i want to show you something. So I’ve been hearing that there are certain areas here in Romania which may have been subjected to high levels of nuclear radiation, it might be related to the Chernobyl accident from 1986 but I’m not sure.

There are stories from people saying that they’ve encountered trees in certain areas growing strange fruits or items that you shouldn’t normally find in the nature. And I think I might have encountered such a tree, here on this trail hike.

Voltlog #199 – New Editing PC With AMD Ryzen 7 2700

Welcome to a new Voltlog, this one is probably the last one on 2018. I would like to start by thanking you for being here with me, accepting the mistakes I often make in my videos but let’s face it, having a completely correct story is no fun, there would be nothing to discuss at the end.

I finally managed to upgrade the Voltlog editing machine. I previously used a dell laptop which had an Intel i5-3340M, it had plenty of ram, an SSD but editing was quite slow, roughly 3 times the length of the output video.

So at the end of this year I decided to build a new editing machine, I immediately found out the best price/performance ratio is with the AMD Ryzen processors.

I had a budget of $700 and I am quite happy with what I got in the end for the money. I started with a Ryzen 2 2700 processor, this is an 8 core processor, 3.2GHz, pretty fast. Not as fast as the 2700x but I had a budget restriction so I settled for the 2700. For the motherboard I went with the MSI B450 Tomahawk, for ram memory I got a Micron 16GB DDR4 PC2400 stick, for storage I went with Samsung Evo 860 1TB SATA SSD and for power supply and case nothing fancy, just something that was available on my local distributor.
