"Lots of European hosters/cloud companies tell us to "just use their cloud!". But the cloud companies here can't be compared to Google/AWS/Azure. Our local places are selling wood. Yet cloud customers want furniture. And until we are honest about that gap, things won't improve"

Wrench sized for SMA connectors, printed in green PLA filament

Atomos SSD caddy, a small rectangular case to house an SSD that fits in to the Atomos Ninja V recorder. Printed with PETG in a white translucent colour. Text printed on the caddy has the disk number, size, type and my callsign PA3WEG. A collage with two pictures, the one on top showing just the caddy, the one below the disk installed in the recorder

Adapter block that goes between a V-mount battery plate that mechanically connects batteries to a camera rig. It is shown split screen, on the left with the block on the battery plate, on the right with everything installed.
