I got this jacket because it’s 8% Dyneema, so theoretically shouldn’t rip very much. We’ll see. Was a bit stiff for a while, but it’s loosening up. By far the best use is the crazy number of pockets.

Needed a flash, but didn’t want to spend $600 on one as I don’t use it very often. This seems to work out fine.

This is what I use daily now. Might be overkill for meetings, but it’s pretty good at not picking up all the background sound.

This was the first “real mic” I got. It didn’t work out so well because I was using it as a USB mic and it was also in the video. It’s probably pretty good, I’m going to try it out again now that I have a few audio interfaces.

So I needed a microphone that was out of the video. This appears to work well with the Motu M2. I also plan on using this with the Zoom F6 for videos taken with the a7R IV.

So this is a fantastic audio interface if you’re doing Zoom meetings all day, vocals, an instrument, etc. Quite nice, no complaints.

It turns out the Zoom F6 is a pain to use as an audio interface when you need to connect to voice calls, so the Podtrak P4 handles this pretty well. Yes, it does less, but they’re just calls.

So there is one annoying thing about this – the red lights are extremely bright and not programmable. They are red on the top when muted. I want them to be red when active. The four sound effects buttons are always red. Why can’t I configure this?
Field recorder to record better sounds for the videos.

My old camera was old, so I upgraded. This thing is a bit overkill, but I should be set for a long time. 61 megapixel, 4k video @ 8bit color, etc.

I’m a super cold sleeper, so I went as warm as I could. I also wanted a bag that could open like a blanket. I went overboard. This thing is hot. You can see it here.

Update: this bag is stupid hot. I only ever use it opened up.
