As for starting small, the steps would be: 1) Work on EEVlab branding and have that set from the get go. 2) Have some content in the can. e.g. Tek 2 series, new Rigol scopes I'm getting soon. 3) Announce the EEVlab channel with maybe one unsponsored video and get an initial subscriber base. Tell everyone that everything teardown and review related will now be on EEVlab channel and it will be a (non conflict) sponsor funded channel. 4) Find sponsors based on the first video(s) response. It helps that I have a big established channel already, but I suspect sponsors won't come on board until the channel has an initial sub and view base.# 5) Find a good contract video editor so that time is taken away from me. 5) Produce content slowly as I have time. Build from there. |

--- Quote from: EEVblog on September 11, 2022, 12:32:48 am ---The plan is to have a lab that takes test equipment and other product testing seriously and methodically, having standardised testing and product shoot outs etc in a controlled way. Equipment could be given comparitive scores etc. The community would of course have input into all shaping all this. --- End quote --- To me: The most interesting part of "Test Gear" is the part that can't be tested with standardized testing. If we're going to compare two multimeters using standard tests with bullet points then an Aneng can easily score as high as a Fluke. How do you assign a hard number to "bang per buck"? Edit: Take Joe Smith for example. I watch his videos because he does everything except test multimeters to see if they're bang on accurate. He rubs them with gasoline, zaps them with grill starters, twists the knob until it breaks, etc. It's fun to watch fancy $700 meters fail miserably where $50 meters survive. |

So I voted I think it will flop, but I also want to say that I would be interested in the content and would contribute a small amount monthly. Just look at how long it's been since a video was added to EEVdiscover & that the uSupply is still not available. You've clearly already got a lot going on. A project like you're talking about would be a much larger investment of your time and money. I'd worry that the rewards would be limited by the niche nature of the test subjects. |

I wouldn't waste your time with it. If you have already put together a budget it would be interesting to see. |

I haven't voted yet but it sounds expensive and but I can't see myself sitting through hours of Youtube videos to find information that I could find in two minutes on a web site like this one: https://lygte-info.dk/info/DMMReviews.html Maybe you could knock together a pilot video showing the sort of thing you have in mind. |
