Join me as I assemble my smart home using the Apple HomeKit platform and take a look at Apple-centric devices. I'll take an average guy's look at the gadgets and kit I use (or try to use) every day! Also, the occasional exploits (vlog) of daily life.
Some of the gear I use to create these videos: Canon EOS R5: amzn.to/3T8LJ60 Canon EOS R8: amzn.to/3UPhOkn Canon RF 35mm f/1.8: amzn.to/42TYowN Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8: amzn.to/3wum0fk Sigma 50mm F1.4 ART: amzn.to/2zEcBE2 RODE VIdeoMic NTG: amzn.to/4c0Uy9s DJI Wireless Microphones: amzn.to/48uI7Qd Blue Yeti USB Mic (voiceover): amzn.to/2QysLYm
Do you have a HomeKit compatible smart home product or Apple device accessory you'd like featured on this channel. Please email me below.
Great review!!! Appreciate the time you spent. I’m considering buying to record my daughter’s basketball games. Likely to be in the bleachers mid court. Do you think the tracking could follow the action maybe half court to half court? I really like that I can keep it in Apple cam because we make cuts to the notes app. Will likely use it to splice and send to teammates this year while coaching in the regular season. Yay or nay sir?!?!
Thanks for watching!🙏 It depends on if you need an extra fill light and/or carrying case. I just brought the gimbal with me on a trip and the case was pretty useful, so for me it was worth it.
I enjoyed traveling with this case along with their Air Porter backpack. This combo counted as one bag and fit under the seat even when stuffed. Now there's a backpack specifically for the AVP at Waterfield. I would've opted for that had it existed earlier but it seems best for local commuting/meetings. I keep my AVP in the Apple case at home.
Hey there! Great video! I was wondering if the iPhone 15 Pro Max fits vertically if there’s an apple watch below and the puck is up and not laying down flat?
Awesome! I’ve been using this mostly without the light seal as an open-face system when I want to be productive. Still use it with the light seal for full-immersion when watching movies. I’d be curious to hear your experience once you’ve had the chance to use it a bit.
They should have done it from day 1 as cases aren’t a new thing. Not risking taking my iPhone 13PM out every time to play PS5. Portal it’ll have to be.
What I don’t like about this case is that you have to bend the audio pods and it’s not a hard shell (and you have to remove the strap). And you have to pay the same price as Apple’s travel case 😂 Anyway thank you for your video 👍
I’m not sure the straps/audio pods are bent more than they would if strapped to your head, any bending seems minor. Agreed, on the price, a bit steep, but craftsmanship and materials are great.
Hi, veey informative. We dont have homekit or any other cloud storage. Will the recording stop oncebthe se memory is full or it allows us to empty the recording and atart fresh? Thanks.
Best apple case for me is the fine woven , easy to pocket nice and light the sides have developed a nice grip, really don't know how it will age but I always go back to this case, the silicone is nice but it's terrible when trying to take it out of the pocket also really good to clean the inside of your pockets, the clear case looks awesome but it's to slippery buttons suck and that bottom part open I just can't deal with that
so for the armorair case, with a screen protector on the phone, the case's lid protection is not gonna be able to cover over the screen protector right?
When you install the lens bracket can you lock it all the way? When I turn mine to where it says lock it does not align with the cameras. It is almost like you need to turn it about 2/3 of the way. Is that normal?
YIKES. What a disaster. Another commentor had no connectivity, too. What a shame. Kondor Blue seems to have a good reputation, so this is a surprise. This is an untested product.
New band ... I think some company (if not Apple) will offer an adapter so the old bands can still be used with the new band connection... that could be EVERY band company.
Don't buy the Touch edition if you want to use Apple Home Key. It does not support Apple home key at all now. Level updated their firmware as Rey G mentioned.
Level giveth and Level taketh away. Mine still works since I deleted the native app and refuse to update the firmware further. No other reason to not offer the firmware again other than they don’t want to cannibalize Plus sales. Disappointing.
Hi, Your Apple watch desktop looks great. Where can I download it? When you log in to the Backbone app for the first time, you will be asked to subscribe to Backbone+. Do you have to subscribe to use the app? Because I have been unable to close the subscription screen. Thanks you for your video, it helps a lot. ❤
I use an iphone 15 Pro Max and a Sandmarc case to attach a Sandmarc variable ND filter and a CPL filter. You mentioned an adaptor plate for this SmallRig cage to attach Sandmarc screw on filters. Could you provide a link? Thanks!
