This is how I made a machine to trick a fitness tracker (pedometer) into thinking you are walking without having to actually walk. It’s completely ridiculous but makes me smile.

I have a Motorola Razr M [model: XT907 (Amazon link)] and the battery doesn’t last very long anymore so I ordered a replacement from Amazon and switched the batteries. Here’s how I did it.

The studio lights I use to make my videos waste a lot of light so I made some cheap reflectors using bowls from the dollar store and foil tape (Amazon link). The new reflectors direct more light forward toward whatever I am filming. The reflector gives me about an extra 1 1/3 stops of light which is pretty good. Here’s how I did it.
