I recently bought a Lightdow LD4000, which is a low cost $42 knock off of the Gopro. The interesting thing about the camera is you can use it as a dash cam, or take motion detector or time lapse video with it along with the regular functions similar to the Gopro. However, I found very few people using the Lightdow for time lapse or motion detector, and I think the reason is that you need to have an external battery power source as the battery for the camera only lasts 70-90 minutes. There is a 12 volt car lighter power cord that can be bought for only a few dollars on amazon which people use for the dash cam feature, but I did not know if it wold also work with the time lapse and motion detector. I purchased the power cord and also a plug for my marine battery which allowed me to attach the camera easily. It seems to work fine. if you have an external battery, you can buy the power cord and battery plug and have a way to power your camera for taking time lapse and motion detector videos. You will need an editor to assemble the photos you take in time lapse. I will leave links below to YT videos already made covering the subject. In future videos I will provide samples of the videos taken with time lapse and motion detector, and include a comparison of the Lightdow LD4000 with a $40 used Kodak play-sport which also takes underwater video, and show my experiments with finding and using low cost underwater lights and the best ways to attach them to the camera.

This is a very simple design I came up with for a crawdad trap. I used 2 three liter plastic bottles. Since I did not attach the bottoms like other designs it allows a person to use large bait when the bottom is removed by untying the string, and once the string is untied, the crawdads are simple to remove. Don't forget I have a Florida Fishing playlist and check out some of my favorite Youtubers and their channels I like and feature on my homepage that deserves more viewers. If you see a video I should ad to my Florida fishing playlist, send me the link and I will look at it and add it if I like it.

Many YouTube video partners are finding out their AdSense earnings from Google are taxable and by being classified as a self employed contractor creates an expensive tax problem. here is how I solved my higher tax preparation fee problem. I saved $310 this year by using a free online tax perpetration service provided by the IRS. I usually pay a small fee to have my taxes done. I made a small amount of money from my YouTube videos last year. Earning revenue from my videos has been exciting , even though it is not a lot of money. However, the income from Google put me in the category of self employed contractor. My tax preparer said it would cost between $270 and $310 to do my taxes for 202. I explained to him I may live in crazy town, but I was not born there and thanked him and left to go to the library to get my tax forms and do it myself. In a very short time I found the tax preparation was not as easy as it looked. I then checked out the IRS site for help and found if a tax payer makes less than $57,000, they can use one of the free online tax preparation services. I scrolled through the listing and found the one that seemed appropriate for my circumstances and chose TurboTax. I was hesitant as I have had bad experiences filing out documents online, but the experience went very well and by simply answering multiple choice questions and filling in the correct information I advanced though the program very fast. In the end I was given the option of submitting the form and paying by a check or using a credit card. if you owe money and pay by a credit card there is a $2.49% fee which is high. naturally, there is no fee if you decide to send a check. So the whole process took about the same time as if I had used a tax preparer and it did not cost me anything. I saved as much as 4310. it was a good feeling. the service notified me when the tax form had been received by the IRS and also when it was approved by the IRS, which took place o the same day. if you normally pay to have your taxes done you may want to look into the free service available on the IRS site, in addition, My nephews girlfriend told me she used the same service but tried several of the free preparation programs to see which she received the most money back and found there was a difference, so if you are expecting a refund it will not hurt to try several and do not finalize then until you are happy with the one that gives you the best result.

Here is my SHORTS PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Fl7dCpoux5YV7lHjbaIqfyp3jiQk976 I am probably going to continue experimenting with the little inflatable Intex 2O0 raft boat, but this may be a sign not to. The boat was fully inflated for 2 days and when I went looking for wood to make some outriggers it deflated. I don't get much money from YouTube for my SHORTS videos but they are a lot of fun to make and I am just getting started. If you appreciate my videos you can always visit Amazon via my amazon store link and anything you buy on Amazon Jeff Bezos send me a few pennies. https://www.amazon.com/shop/robbshomemadelife Always check on eBay and other sites to see if items are cheaper than amazon. I want to thank you guys again for showing up and watching me trying to have a little fun or show you something that might help you out. I made YouTube videos for fun years before they paid a penny and I will continue to do so as long as it is fun and you guys keep showing up. see ya out there.
