hey guys is Austin and today I'm here with five cool tickets that won't break the bank I'm going to start with we have the latest in cutting-edge mobile VR technology Google daydream so this really is an evolution of what you would find with Google cardboard and one the main reasons to make this different so it has the controller which is one of the big differences between this and cardboard but we'll get to that in a second you know gonna say this actually looks pretty nice so it's all the sort of soft touch fabric material one of the things with VR headsets is that they can get kind of uncomfortable after a while and get hot and sweaty and especially if it's heavy it's got a really kind of way on you but this actually is pretty nice so one of the downsides to using daydream is that it is not as widely compatible as cardboard which works on pretty much everything so with a dream you need to use a few specific phones and the main ones were that are out right now are the pixel phones so future guys definitely the future um all right so I can actually aim with the controller that's cool all right so now the Google photos this is a panorama I took in San Diego and you know what that is she looks pretty cool whoa alright just do you toward 2016 you know the reasons this is so good 360 video is cool but when you have to take that and kind of stretch it all the way around you it becomes very difficult to actually be able to get something it's a high enough resolution you're talking about something like probably 8k if not 12 K to really get the full resolution all around you or something like this I'm watching on what's essentially looks like a giant big screen in front of me oh that's cool so I'm here on the page to download Need for Speed and as I look around I'm actually sitting in a garage so that's kind of cool so I can actually reach down VR and pick up the daydream controller it's not perfectly one-to-one like five is but that's what she really cool I mean once you're in the game it looks nice I guess I just it's really hard for me to take a racing game seriously without good controls and this is kind of goofy some other things with the daydream controller it doesn't feel like it's really that well-suited for an experience like this it works and honestly it works better than it really should for a racing game but I think this is gonna be this would be a lot better suit if I actually had a proper controller I think daydream might be my favorite mobile VR setup so for $80 assuming you have a daydream compatible phone like a pixel this is a pretty cool gift to start out with it's not as good as a full VR setup but this is also a lot cheaper and a lot smaller next we have the Kingston MobileLite Wireless Pro and pick shoutout to Kingston for sponsoring this video so this little guy actually does a lot so for starters we have 64 gigabytes of storage built in so when you pair it via Wi-Fi to your phone you can use it to dump all kinds of data pictures videos all that kind of stuff there's also an SD card reader as well as a full USB port now that port does double duty first of all you can plug something like a flash drive in to expand the capacity or you can pull your phone in because this doubles as a backup battery so to get this guy up and running all you do is connect to the Wi-Fi network and then download the MobileLite app yeah there we go 58 point 2 gigabytes free as one of my most treasured possessions in life this photo of Ralphy has to be backed up in as many places as possible and the first place is my mobile light you can also do full backups from your phone so for example I could dump my entire camera roll over here contact calendar all that kind of stuff well it's nice to have this stuff backed up on the cloud you should always have multiple copies of anything is really important and something that this is easy enough to carry around with you everywhere now as far as gifts go I honestly think this is probably one of the best things on the list this is the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 so what you're getting here is essentially a new-age Polaroid so it's a film camera that will immediately print your shots out yes this looks so cool man like ah I'm gonna say I really like the look of this thing so Fuji does make a cheaper version of the Instax but it looks a little more like a toy it's all plastic whereas this looks properly retro or I'm back you're not gonna find a lot so you have a couple of buttons to change your mode turn on and off things like the flash and you also have an actual optical viewfinder even though this is a film camera we do have a rechargeable battery but once we get this in we just need to load the film I mean we all had digital cameras we're all used to be able to take a million pictures or pick the best one but there's something special about you get one shot if you waste it that's gone so I feel like it almost kind of forces you to be a better photographer even if you've never used a film camera before this is super easy so all you do is take this guy lined up on the back of the camera there we go God there's something so satisfying about a physical picture ooh but that actually is pretty good that looks pretty good that looks like Ken right there this is actually work I don't actually know if this trick works I've always seen people do it I don't believe it works this is not the most practical camera in the world but it is a lot of fun knowing that you have that pressure to make sure you get the shot right and be able to actually get a physical version of that shot almost immediately it's not some amazing new concept but I've got to say this is way more fun than I thought it was going to be next we have the chromecast ultra so if you guys been watching the channel for a while or you know follow technology at all you know that the chromecast is kind of a big deal and this is the latest version which supports not only 4k but also HDR so this is not any kind of massive difference between previous chromecast's what you're getting here really is just a heart at first glance it's really difficult to tell the difference between the ultra and the normal chromecast and in actual use it's also going to be pretty difficult because it's basically the same thing the main advantage here really is the idea of getting a fairly inexpensive 4k streaming box or well puck I guess is a better term so what you have a chromecast hooked up to your TV it's a pretty seamless experience so you connect it to your Wi-Fi and once you do you can pretty much stream from any device this chromecast compatible and these days there are a lot so most apps have chromecast support so things like YouTube things like Netflix you can stream right to your TV and honestly I should for chromecast to most sort of Smart TV interfaces if you're still rocking a 1080p TV the normal chromecast is fine however if you plan on upgrading your video game for 2017 the chromecast ultra is worth a look if you're looking for something a little bit more on the stocking stuffer side of things then we have power tabs so these are kind of interesting they are one-time use mobile chargers for smartphones so not only do you have one with a lightning cable but you can also pick it up for micro USB and at about $5 each this can actually really come in handy so I think for the most part you're going to find these things and like vending machines and that sort of stuff but if you're in a pinch and you really need a quick charge there's not a lot to this guy Wow that is actually no disposable battery might sound like a bad idea but this is very basic so it's got sort of a cardboard shell and the lightning cable is very very simple however considering that these are all recyclable it does make sense so the charge we should just be able to plug it into the Lightning port and there we go charging so with about a thousand milliamp hours it might not give you a full charge in fact it definitely won't but in a quick pinch you need a little bit of extra juice this could be a serious life saver as always all the links you guys need will be in the description of this video you should also go check out a video from my friends over at Kingston where they check out some of the best photography tips anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
