Jabra Elite 8 Active

[Black] Not much to say other than it works well on my SJ5000X Elite.

[1.195 lb] So active

[Bowens S] First, 60W will probably meet your needs in a small video studio. I only use 2-8% of the output. Secondly, a standard modifier platform (Bowens' S mount), has saved me a great deal of time. The lower cost silent heads would only accept barndoors, gaffing tape and aluminum foil. Far Far easier to repurpose old modifiers or purchase new. Previously, I would have to retape the foil at inopportune times. SILENCE is critical for me. Recording a cast once correctly is worth all the post processing in the world. Nothing beats SILENCE.

[5.4 x 3 x 1"] Works as intended. Batteries are securely held. 8x AA, 4x AAA, 1x 9v.

[Black] Much improved over the Elite series ports.

[Yes, Kensington] I have been using this for work and I liked it so much I ordered one for my new HP Elite at home.

Much improved over the Elite series ports.

[3.335 lb] Does the job. It is a little hard to see which port is active, but that is all.

[Skype] Jabra speak 510 is very nice at the sound quality and easy control. To connect Bluetooth is so easy and fast. I was able to use it without the instruction manual.

[10.2 lb] I bought the PTZ Pro 2 to replace a Jabra Panacast 50 combination audio/video bar. Because the Jabra's audio capabilities weren't robust enough for the rooms we were using them in, we had replaced the audio portion with Shure Stem Hub tabletop mic/speaker units, which are far superior to the Jabra and scalable. So we were using the Panacast only as a camera. It worked well enough for that, but the Bluetooth remote kept disconnecting in the middle of meetings leaving us unable to control the camera. What I like about the PTZ Pro 2 is that: 1) The remote is infrared so it doesn't randomly disconnect. It does require line-of-sight but that's not a big deal. At least it works very reliably. 2) The PTZ Pro 2 is plug-and-play so there's no opportunity for things to break due to Windows updates or driver updates. You just plug it in and it works. 3) The pan/tilt/zoom is quite smooth. The Jabra was very jerky due to the way it knits together the images from three cameras. Also the optical zoom of the PTZ Pro 2 is excellent. 4) The three presets are very handy and the way the camera smoothly transitions from one preset to another gives a very professional look.
