--- Quote from: artag on September 11, 2022, 01:11:50 am ---You could have guest engineers to do products from time to time rather than permanent payroll I think sponsorship degrades the idea. Nobody trusts that. If you want to be a Which? of test equipment you need to be rigorously independent. --- End quote --- It wouldn't be an oscilloscope shootout sponsored by Keysight or Tek or Siglent. It'd be all the usual sponsor suspects you see on other mainstread channels. I get contact by these companies daily and always turn them all down. The plan would be accept almots anything that pays the bills. |

Anything less than a full commitment from you or your staffs part will be heavily criticised with endless facepalms from the audience. It is very common for people to criticise that which they do not fully understand. --- End quote --- Yes, but the whole idea is to develop a set of standardised tests, developed in conjuction with the community. |

I have been doing some oscilloscope tests just to see what the basic functionality is and each one of them takes me a couple of days of work. --- End quote --- I know, which is why I balk at product shoot-outs or even single oscilloscope reviews these days. Guess why you haven't seen a through review of the new Tek 2 series I have... Every time I look at it with the motiviation to do it, I just think of all the stuff I need to setup and do it, and it gets put into the not enough time basket. --- End quote --- IMHO one of the problems will be how to produce an entertaining and to-the-point video from what is mostly running tests and presenting test results. In the end that is just bone-dry stuff. Maybe keeping on complaining about pet-peeves like Munro does on his car teardowns helps to lighten things up a bit. --- End quote --- Correct. That's always a perpetual problem. --- Quote ---Also editing the videos is a huge job that will require extra hands. Another one of my favorite Youtubers is producing a video every work day and he has someone filming and editing more than fulltime. --- End quote --- It's actually not hard to film stuff as you do it. Editing, yes, it takes time away. I wouldn't see a full time video editor in-house, but that could be contracted out. |

--- Quote from: Brumby on September 11, 2022, 01:26:09 am ---Certainly, this is a big undertaking to be done properly and it's going to require baby steps at first to find a path that will work, with the ability to expand. --- End quote --- Yes, I totally see this initial feedback flopping, and I essentially know the result of the poll before even running it. I'm sure many people would want to subscribe to and watch such a thing, but it's almost certain that people wouldn't want to pay for such a thing on a scale that makes it viable. So why did I even post this if I know the result? To float the dream idea out there and work backwards to what is viable. BTW, there is also a poll on Twitter: https://twitter.com/eevblog/status/1568763569529057280 Currently 72% would sub and watch, virtually one willing to pay for it, 13% not really interested, and 12% think it'll flop. |
