Title: Short video on the bearing packer.
Post by: Nessie Hunter on September 15, 2012, 11:21:00 PM
I have looked around and dont see a video of this in action?? 
This is the Alan Tani Bearing packer in use..
I have everything connected & Ready to go.
I have used it many times. 
What a time saver and it does an excellent job also..
This is the Pinion Gear Bearing of a Tiagra 12..
The only bearing I packed on this reel.
It is small enough that it will probably be used to toss live baits.
This is another Reel going to Pino's Pangas in Cabo..

It was very hard to do this one handed!!!!   :-)

Short video #2 is of the Freespool I am getting with TSI in the Spool bearings.
I figured that the TSI is long lasting enough that on small Reels used possibly for casting it would be OK to use.  Anything bigger then this I would probably pack with grease unless he wanted them oiled.  Which he has on several lager Reels...

I have a little 4 or 5 inch Tripod for it.. 
Should have set it up.... Would have been better....

canon makes a remote with a 2 second delay for their cameras w/ video....  set the tripod    kinda wider angle...  click remote....then start...  

if you have a camcorder...then they should make some sort of remote also... they do sell 3rd party remotes too...  

 check 42 st photo...  

this is how i do all my product photos...    and videos....  the remote saves the hassle of pressing buttons and also the delay is useful so the camera stays still....

if u r really hardcore...you can hook a monitor up to the camera and see what you are recording....so like when you hold a part up to the lens you actually see if it is in focus and such.....

but of course this is probably alot more than some want to go thru......and maybe expensive.....
