As a creator focused on tech. I get to try a bunch of tech and tech accessories that I personally find interest in and so I thought it would be interesting to show you what someone who gets to play with a lot of tech actually ends up using everyday. Let’s get started.

The best value 3-in-1 chargers I found was this no-name one off Amazon called the: Petino 3in1 Charging station. You get magnetic charging, a wireless charger for your wireless earbuds, and an apple watch charger. You can move the magnetic charger into an elevated position so that you can use your iphone in standby mode. And when you don’t want it on full display, you can collapse it.
The Moment Pro Tripod Mount for Magsafe is such a nifty tool if you’re a photographer, videographer, or someone who wants to up their social media content they generate on their phone. Basically it screws into a tripod then you can attach your phone, to record videos, or shoot photos on a tripod. With the cold shoe mount up top you can attach mics, or lights. This has made shooting videos off my phone so much easier, because it gives me all the expandability that I normally get on my mirrorless camera, right onto my iPhone.
I know for a fact, I’m not the handiest guy around but the iFixit Pro tool kit has made me super comfortable and maybe even handy with opening up my tech and digging around inside and sorting it out.
Stream decks have been a game changer in my life. Being able to have a bunch of quick, easy to access buttons that can do whatever I want is amazing. I have a button that just opens up google drive on a specific account for me. And one that opens a folder I picked on my Mac. It’s super useful in saving me a little bit of time here and there, but it adds up and makes me more productive in work, and in my own personal life.
I've started to appreciate a good mechanical keyboard. I mean, I type on a keyboard 8 hours a day. That’s how long I sleep on my mattress. I gotta find comfort in it. So I’m rocking a Keychron Q1 Pro. It’s stock, only because I haven’t found the time to start modding it. I like the Q1 Pro because it’s really nice right out of the box, but lets me switch between Mac OS and Windows layouts with a switch, and it’s wireless!
In my pocket, I almost always have the AirPods Pro 2 with me. I got the lightning version with me, cause I’m not paying $250 to get a new, slightly better version with usb-c. They’re not the best sounding wireless earbuds I’ve heard, but they’re just so convenient to have with me especially since they’re so compact. I use these when I want to focus on something. Like writing, editing, commuting downtown, relaxing on a flight. Wherever. They also do really well with devices in the apple ecosystem and lets you seamlessly switch between them. I didn’t expect for it to become such an integral part of my life. But these things have gone on more trips with me than my wife has. That sentence looked better in the script.
So that’s the tech I use everyday. These things drastically vary in price and I tried to focus more on the practical and functional aspects and despite this video being basically a roundup video, I hope it was useful to find out, behind the cameras and lights, what functionally has worked out day to day instead of what’s plastered on the front page of the channel.
