Lekato TM-25 Clip On Meto-Tuner Review

Lekato TM-25 Clip-on Metro-Tuner is 3 in 1 Multifunction Guitar Tuner

On Tuner Mode

By default it is on Chromatic tuner A4 frequency but can be adjusted between 430~450Hz
It is suitable for a variety of tuning mode: C (Chromatic), G (Guitar), B (Bass), U ( Ukulele C) and V (Violin).
It shuts down automatically and save the current parameters if there is no signal present or operation within 5 mins therefore your battery is safe. You don't risk of draining it if you forgot to turn your tuner off or was accidentally turned on inside your gigbag. 
The LCD backlit by default is amber or orange but it turns to green when your instrument is in tune. This is handy because sometimes on stage when you're performing it can be a bit dark and you can't see the metre of your tuner if it's really on the middle. This way, when it turns green, you know that you are in tune.

The Tone Generator

Press power key briefly to start the TONE GENERATOR, playing the selected note.

On Metronome
You can adjust or set the TEMPO between 30-250bpm
You can change the beat from 0-9
There 8 rhythm types
Press and hold Rhythm key to adjust the volume
Press power key to play / stop the metronome

And here's a video on how to use the unit and the metronome.

How to overlay videos using your iPhone or iPad

I never knew about this before. I thought there's a special program to use when you overlay a video or you can only do it using a macbook, but I found on the internet recently that you can overlay or put picture on picture or split video into two using your iPhone or ipad.

Just watch the video above on how to do it. Saves me from writing it down as well as saves you from reading long paragraphs.

Hope this helps on your upcoming videos. Cheers!

How to assemble Hozelock Compact 25 M Reel

1.  You need to remove the label first and turn it up to open the bottom side by removing or tearing the cardboard that holds the contents in.

2. Remove everything starting from the parts that are in the individual plastic bags, as well as the loose parts and the hose itself.

3. You need to decide on which side you want the handle to put. Then open the plastic bags and locate for the handle and start assembling.

4. There's an instruction on a piece of paper if you wanted a guide on how to assemble the handle but it's actually straight forward.

5. Next step is to slip the hose in between the rollers and pull it out underneath. Then, locate for the spring and other contents that are needed for that hose end to hook or assemble to the reel.

6. Once you managed to connect it, try and roll the hose in using the handle that you've just assembled that way you can test to make sure it's all working good.

7. Now, you need to cut 1.5m of hose which you will use later to connect this Hozelock 2-in-1 to your tap. You need to assemble the remaining connectors and secure it tightly.

8. If in doubt, just double check it from the video.
