UPLIFT Desk 900 & Workspace/Studio Tour
/This is my review of the UPLIFT Desk 900 and a tour of my work space
UPLIFT Desk 900 Adjustable-Height Standing Desk
I would add that it is an adjustable-height SIT or STAND desk.My job requires spending long hours at a desk and sitting for hours on end is really unhealthy. I would get out of bed in the morning, make my long commute down the hallway and plunk into a chair, sitting there most of the day except for short breaks for meals. This job requires long hours in front of the computer and sitting for all of those hours was really taking it's toll on my well being. In the past I have experimented with standing desks but found that some tasks were better suited for sitting and I didn't like being locked into standing and all the DIY approaches seemed really clunky - balancing my computer on a box wasn't really an option - What I really wanted was something that allowed me to easily go from sitting to standing and vice versa.The answer is the UPLIFT Desk 900 - This is a motorized desk that goes from sitting to standing in seconds. I have had this desk for about two weeks and still grin like a kid every time I adjust the height - it is just so smooth and easy.Setup was easy - we bolted the legs on the bottom - used the included cable management system to keep the desk wires hidden and flipped it right side up and plugged it in!
I received the black legs and maple top - You have a huge range of customization options including the option to purchase just the legs and supply your own top. The build quality is exceptional and the legs can support 335 lbs! 
You have a little button panel you can mount anywhere under the desk that provides a LED readout and 4 memory buttons along with up and down arrows for precise adjustments. The desk moves smoothly and quickly, taking less than 10 seconds to go from my programmed sitting to standing positions. I worried about wearing the desk out as I was giving forcing the cats to ride up and down one day but with a 5 year complete warranty I feel safe giving them as many rides as they will stand.My routine now starts with standing - It feels great to start the day in a more active position and have the option to easily sit for short periods for some tasks. Additionally this desk is an awesome studio surface as I can easily adjust it for best height for the shot I am looking for when creating my videos.The price starts at $699.00 & includes FREE shipping.Shop and learn more at The Human Solution
More About the Canon 5DS and 5DS ROne my of my viewers Got his hand on the 5DSR at this weekend's UK Photo show and had this to share

As we've had more than a few people starting out ask, and sometimes buy, the questionable camera kits found online this article might help clarify a few things for any first time DSLR buyers. For most cases, with a few exceptions for the larger stores, you get the right camera with little or no warranty and an assortment of poor quality accessories. For the purpose of having an example to this point I’ll be using a recent eBay purchase from one of our readers.Grey Market ProductsFor a first time buyer noticing the word import buried in the details of a really good sale is not going to be something they’re looking for usually. Generally for some of the stores it’s often hidden well enough it would be easy to gloss over without knowing the implications and some stores don’t mention it at all. Imports are commonly referred to as grey market, a product imported from another country for a lower price then resold here bypassing proper import channels such as Canon USA and Nikon USA. While the practice is somewhat shady it’s completely legal and most of the time, but not always, the camera is the same as what you would get from an authorized store such as Amazon.
Yes you’re getting a DSLR but before purchasing and when you get the camera you should check the included accessories listed with the camera against the manufacturer’s website. If you think you purchased from an authorized dealer the first hurdle would be the correct warranty card for your country, without it getting your camera fixed can be difficult. Checking the listing for issues can solve a lot of problems but after getting your camera its worth that double check for the correct manuals and manufacturer batteries as with some previous cases these items have been removed or replaced with inferior items.
Check the kit lens! A lot of these cameras were bought body only so make sure you’re getting the proper lens. The Nikon D5300 should come with a new VRII 18-55mm lens which in the readers case was swapped for the older VRI lens that ships with the D5200, a lens which is not recommended if possible due to its photo quality. Take the time to check your lenses, a D5300 uses AF-S lenses and not AF except for manual focus. Kit lenses for the Canon Rebel line should be listed as STM.One of the issues you can have buying a unit of this kind is the battery charger, fortunately in this case the readers was swapped for a US charger but reading online about this listing not everyone got that luxury. The camera was meant for another country so it’s not a big surprise you're still out money for a charger in Nikon’s case, for Canon $4-6 for a 2 slot non-polarized power cord to plug in the charger. Unfortunately for someone starting out unless they can find one at a local store you’re stuck waiting for one in the mail with a nice shiny paperweight after that partial battery charge dies.“Free” Extras
There's no such thing as a free lunch, if your kit comes with 3000 items yet still costs the same as an authorized camera from B&H things don’t exactly add up. A memory card, cleaning cloth, bag, and maybe an extra battery makes a decent starting point. Starting out most of the accessories they offer are nice and shiny but they are also cheap items, most of these are less than $10, with negligible quality in most cases. While I won’t cover all the accessories in the kit I’ll hit a few of the frequently asked ones and provide alternative options. While the recommended options might be a bit more expensive the quality is worth the price to get good items the first time.
