Pinnacle DC10+ Video capture and editing

Advantages: cheap, fair quality images, easy to use
Disadvantages: needs a good sound card, some capture problems

The Pinnacle DC10+ is a good few years old now but I thought I'd review it in case anyone was still using analogue video equipment and was looking for something to help them edit their videos. Units regularly turn up on eBay so they should be fairly easy to find if you think it's the device for you. On with the review! Whilst most people have moved over to digital video using either Digital8 or DV, some camcorder users are still more than happy with their Hi8, Video8 and even (shudder) VHS-C machines. The digital users have the luxury of Firewire and its ease of use when capturing and re-recording edited footage. However, the analogue users have to look to slightly more complex hardware to do the job. The Pinnacle Studio DC10+ consists of a PCI card and editing software. The card installs effortlessly as does the software. The card ...

Review of Pinnacle Studio DC10plus

Peak performance from Pinnacle

Advantages: Excellent customer services, they phone you, they listen to you
Disadvantages: None that I have come across

insurance. We pay life insurance in case we die in debt. Who collects it? The poor sod that has paid it, hardly! I could go on but I won’t, as this is a positive review about an excellent company that I had to deal with recently. The name of that company is Pinnacle Insurance PLC. Initially I had no idea that I would be dealing with them but I shall explain that matter as this tale unfolds. As some of you will be aware earlier this year I was unable to work for three months due to a serious incapacity. At the point when I realised that I would not be returning to work as quickly as I had envisaged I remembered that I had some payment protection insurance on the finance that I had taken out to pay for my computer. My original intent was to pay after the 9 months interest free period but I foolishly spent the money. I dug ...

Review of Pinnacle Insurance PLC

The Pinnacle Stratus 3.0 E is a good value hybrid

Advantages: Internal hub gears, sturdy frame, nice finish, responsive ride, great price
Disadvantages: Right brake lever could be longer, high Q factor, poor pedal design

PINNACLE STRATUS 3.0E Product reviews, out of necessity, are full of relative descriptions and judgements based on comparison with a similar product familiar to the reviewer. Therefore, a reviewer?s experience very much affects the review outcome. Reviewers with little or no experience to call upon are likely to compare the product with their own expectations (be they reasonable or not). My review is no exception but I?ll say up front that my experience of adult bicycles is limited to a GT Tequesta mountain bike (steel frame, 3x7 derailuer gears & no suspension) and two lightweight tourers (both with Reynolds 531 steel frame, one with 700C alloy rims and 2x7 speed derailleur gears and the older tourer with 26? steel rims and Sturmey Archer 4 speed internal hub gears). Each tourer was fitted with new parts as they wore over ...
