Hi there! Welcome to my channel. My channel is focused on gear. Gadgets. Everyday carry (EDC), microphones and travel. I buy anything that's popular and check it out and give you my two cents on things. I also try to find hacks and shortcuts to help you work faster. Enjoy! Cheerio!
Hi Parker!!! Oh wow, you're usually on the EDC side of my channel. Oc18 you say! Interesting!! I like the Baby Blue Bottle. But I'll keep that in mind.Btw, those scissors you recommended should be coming in today.
Is this Lupit!! Well hello there!! Yes I like the Baby Blue Bottle too!! But I'm beginning to like the Warm 47JR as well, it's almost like a more detailed version of the Ethos (even though it's a different mic). :D
I like the system a lot and it is my Insta360 cameras go to. Move from bike mount, to tripod, to selfie long selfie stick quickly. I also sue their insta360 selfie sticks because they have a lanyard; am no longer scared of losing my camera over some swinging foot bridge.
This is a great point to bring up, but it does not apply to everyone. If for example you live in the US and only travel domestically it doesn't matter at all. If you're flying within South America only using your bag as a personal item bag than it very likely doesn't matter either.
Go info. I'm not the expert you are, but I've heard RME is "cream of the crop" and even used to work in GNU\Linux. From XP 64 Bit to Win 7, MS Windows was good for pro/semo-pro audio production, but *after* build 1809 of Win 10, MS Windows started becoming inefficient for professional audio production. Sure, if you have tons of $$$, you can make a modern Windows machine work for audio production, but if you are going to have to dump all of that money just to get the OS to boot up, you might as well save the money and get a Mac. These days, *serious* real time music professionals should be using Macs. I don't own a Mac but I've tried numerous versions of MS Windows and GNU\Linux over the years and have *used* Macs a little. The Macs always seem to be the most stable and feature rich. As far as best audio interfaces, I've owned an EMU-APS (new) (I actually beta tested a few decades ago...), an EMU1212M (used), a USB TASCAM US-1200 (used), and an MAudio Delta 1010 (used). The TASCAM US-1200 was pretty lousy. Part of the problem could have been hardware damage as it has poor tone quality and the pots (knobs) were jittery; however, it didn't work in GNU\Linux at all and it came some some horrible "value added" effects routing that is totally unnecessary when you use a pro audio program like Cubase. The TASCAM US-1200 still mostly works in modern versions of Win 10. I never had any problems with the EMU-APS (during service) and it working in both old versions of Windows (Don't Remember Which) and GNU\LInux; unfortunately, the EMU-APS is really an *introductory* audio interface and almost no one would be using it today. The 1212M is a solid card (even without the breakout box) it worked great in MS Windows 10 up until after build 1809 when MS did something to prevent the firmware from loading properly. It had a little bit of line noise but that could have been me improperly connecting from my audio buddy to the balanced inputs. The EMU1212M is a truly professional card and works great even without the breakout box, but my version was PCI and modern Windows no longer supports it. The 1212M works "okay" in GNU\Linux but it could do better IMO (I also had buffer overruns in Jack). Maybe the perceived bugs were just my lack of understanding. That brings me to my used PCI MAudio Delta 1010. It screams on Win 10 builds up to 1809 an "somewhat" works on modern versions of Win 10 but the drivers are so old there are stability issues that can crash the OS. The Delta 1010 is noted to work really well in GNU\Linux and I have had almost no problems with it in GNU\Linux but I honestly spend way more time in Cubase on MS Windows than I do in GNU\Linux so I haven't testing it well personally. The Delta 1010 would *continue* to scream in modern Win 10/11 *if* someone had the time to reverse engineer the GNU\Linux drivers back to *modern* MS Windows but I don't have the time or knowledge to do that.The Delta 1010 does have some noise, but that can maybe be eliminated by using a high grade pre-amp with high quality balanced cables from preamp to the Delta 1010. The Delta 1010 is basically king of all interfaces in my book. You can even run several of them in a single computer but it is only PCI. I haven't tried running it in a PCI breakout box that uses USB3 to connect back to the Motherboard. In a regular PCI machine both the EMU1212M and the Delta 1010 have low latency.
This video is absolutely useless, a total waste of time. Why spend so much time and energy on telling people what HE doesn't like?! How in the world can I benefit from that? Use the time to tell people WHAT works and WHY it works. That I can use..
Sick. The precision driver was great for electronics but hasn't been cutting it on my car lately lol I do prefer the bigger 5 inch Cobra pliers with the pushbutton mechanism. A little bigger and thicker but it's just got better handles and way more grip for me. Not that the 4 inch cobra isn't adorable. I would buy it again with the slide mechanism in 5 inch.
Love your reviews, what do you think about the “CIVIVI Key Bit Torx Screwdriver Tool Set”? I haven't seen many videos about it especially in the edc community. It's small compact and cute just the way you like them 😂 (maybe it's too uncomfortable? Could it be used with other bits?)
Glad you liked it. Have you used it to screw or unscrew anything? As you put pressure on the ball end with the butt of your palm, you can twist the cylinder and change your hand position like an in line silent ratchet.
Very cool. Looks like a version of the "pocket rack" that Earthling EDC does. Personally, I usually like to space things out among all my pockets vs group them together in one pocket when possible. For the times it's not possible, this looks like a cool solution. Chums wallet works too of course. Modern Carry Elastic wallet is good too. Finally, sometimes I use a Wild Sky Gear dyneema bag to hold bits, extenders, ratchets etc.
Agree!! Quick accessibility is more important for me too! But had to let the word out when I saw this. Pretty good price imo and could be useful for micro kits. :D. Oh btw which 711 lollipop did you get, aluminum or stainless steel?
@@ParkerBinion Cool! I have it coming in today. :D. I'll make a vid on it for sure to spread the word :P. Thank you so much for all your ideas! We both love compact tech kits and you've given me so many ideas! :D
Best budget audio interface with two inputs is the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2 in my opinion. Second-best would be the Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD.
@@Dracomies Well, that has one input. But the Vocaster Two is indeed also a great option. Great technical performance for even a little cheaper. I just didn't like the podcast-centric design, so I did not consider it for me.
hello.. i know i am five months late but i would like to mention a neat multitool. which ive had for about 4 years now.. its called true utility 7. its cheap but for its price its built like a cockroach. ive used those small pliers to cut alot of chicken wire. and even smaller nails it only has 7 functions afterall.. the blade is on the outside and from my experience its pretty nice. it holds the edge nicely. i used to slice molten asphalt off the street with it when i was younger 😂 you should totally test it,
I really like @EarthlingEDC 's pocket racks. It's a similar concept, but even more refined. It's a DIY project, but he gives you a template and links to the items you need to make them. I haven't made one yet, but they interest me. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sJWUU3IoWk0.htmlsi=YWB-m0TbnnvgiR1r
