VCF (Vintage Computer Federation) Swap Meet Wall, NJ 10/28/2023

Описание: This was a really cool swap meet I went to with my brother-in-law, John. As you will see, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about these vintage computers. I know a little as I had a lot of experience with the Commodore computers as a kid. My first computer was the Commodore Vic 20. My oldest brother and my neighborhood friend had Commodore 64 systems. My brother didn't let me use his too much, but I spent hours with one at my friend's house (mostly waiting for games to load and trying to get others to work, lol). Of course, we had Atari and other game systems over the years. I have nostalgia for these systems, but I prefer the latest and greatest when it comes to computers and game systems.

I loved this show; it was so cool to see so many people excited to talk about their love for these retro/vintage systems that most people wouldn't hesitate to throw in the garbage if they were to inherit or find them buried in storage. It was also great to see how honest the sellers were with their equipment. They made sure to point out any problems with anything. Everyone was incredibly nice and friendly.

It was a great day, and the weather was perfect. As you will see at the end of the video, John and I went to Avon by the Sea Beach, which was close by, after the show. I used up the batteries in my drone before the show, so I could only fly for about a minute. He has a DJI FPV drone that is super powerful and fast. He let me use the headset, and it was amazing. This will be something I'll end up getting at some point down the road. For now, I'm pretty happy with the DJI Mini SE I've been using (I still need a lot of practice with that thing).

Aside from the drone footage, the rest of the video was filmed with a DJI Action 2 camera. It was filmed in 2.7k. The video was edited and rendered in 4k with Techsmith Camtasia software.

I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you very much for watching it.
