What's in my bag - CES 2016

2016-01-04
hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it is also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX without them we wouldn't be here we're in Vegas baby yeah let's do this do this what's up guys I'm Dimitri with our Canucks and this is my friend Eber haven't seen you in so long three months and three months but we have reunited here in Vegas to cover the show CES 2016 this would be my third show this would be your first show he's in for quite a bit of surprises on this one but everybody's been asking us what we bring and there has been a few changes to what we've brought this time versus what we brought for Computex for example so here's everything that's in my bag and here's everything that's in IRA's back to my bag so the idea for this CES was for us to well for me was to be able to fit all my equipment in here without having to worry about carrying multiple kilograms then I don't need to on my shoulders for the entire day because as we were out in the day there's no possibility of coming back to the hotel to drop off gear to pick up new things so this all has to go inside the backpack that we'll be taking with us this is the low pro pro runner 33 50w this is the backpack that I've been using ever since our first Computex some four years ago we have a nice large pocket with the laptop multiple pockets on the inside that's all padded let me show you the all the little things that were left over without the gear and basically the idea here was to pack as little gear as possible yet produce better results than we were able to achieve in our previous show coverage so gear time now about the backpack let me show you what I brought for my camera gear all right guys this is my little kit so the initial idea was to bring just one single lens the Sigma 18 to 35 F 2.8 because it's a beast in low-light it's got a great focal range I can focus smoothly here and everything but we are doing a little little surprise video more informative video with mass drop and therefore we've teamed up with them to pick up some extra gear that we think would be very beneficial for our show coverage including the Iraq and on this is the 12 millimeter F 2.0 so it's a very wide wide lens and it's a native micro four-thirds mount so it can go directly on the gh4 or any other Micro Four Thirds camera that we can have on the show floor plus it's super tiny it's much lighter than anything else in our collection and so therefore we needed that very light compact wide-angle lens for things where things are crowded and we really can't afford to have this thing stinking in somebody's face you know so the main camera on my side is the gh4 you guys know about this and we have a new lens on there the rocking on 60 mm there's any lens with the t stop of t 2.2 really nice focusing smooth ring d click the aperture ring and it's slightly wider than the Sigma but it will it is also slightly smaller and it is also slightly lighter so this whole system is well three lenses but it's gonna give us the range that we need for white stuff more versatile things where we want to have a little extra reach with a 35 millimeter there and this rocking on on the gh4 is gonna be a very beautiful all-around sort of package for you know our CES coverage extra batteries here I have for you despite that Jewish for super efficient but it's always nice to have so for all your stuff we are recording everything into the zoom h5 it's an absolutely amazing little recorder really great microphones that are built in here and these low railings that help to prevent accidental changes in the the amplification which could be totally lethal in the recording environment we're just you know shooting stuff very quickly and the main recording microphone is the aeg c3 one for it's our new microphone it's absolutely fantastic it's got multiple recording patterns in the back and we'll make sure to do a more in depth video about this microphone but it's going directly into the h5 for recording no inter for no other interface requires and so it's going to give us that beautiful vocal quality that you guys expect from our videos even from the show floor hey also we actually have this son Heiser handheld microphone is very good quality it's like a hammer and just for interviews and stuff it's a very nice little package for stabilization this is something that I'm really excited to try out this is the pilot fly and this is also something that we've teamed up with mass job to deliver tools unique tools that we can use on on a on the show floor for this type of unique coverage so make sure to stay tuned for those very smooth glide shots of the of the city on of the show floor of the the Suites and stuff right now it's off so I'm being careful because I want mess up any of the gyroscopes here but we'll have to play around with it to see make sure that we know how to work this thing but it's absolutely amazing and it's super compact and light going right into our backpack when you go on the show floor and the last piece of from my side there's a standard tripod here no slider this time around we want to keep things like and stable so this is the just a standard head form on Frodo and Bend row legs carbon fiber super light stuff alright guys so this is exactly what I bought with my all my peers inside this nice little backpack this is the 10 buck roadie - it's the only backpack I was able to find on the internet that could fit the c100 so let's just some cool things I like about this backpack is the secure system where you can open the zip from the back rather than having it directed in the front so it's more secure and the padding is really good very comfortable for a longer if you're if you're on the go there's gonna be very important for us because the whole day out you know you BRR you gotta keep that back secure yeah that's true so opening this up well you can see I have all my gear compact and ready to go open this padding this is obviously the glorious c100 it's a low light monster I love this camera so it's magic with these Sigma 18 to 35 millimeter F 2.8 lens it's the YouTuber lens everyone needs it or everyone calls it the you to Berlin so it's a great lens I love using this lens it's a really nice c100 is a great camera you know as you guys probably do know I already have the battery unit I only have one battery and the battery life is really great it's perfect for an all-day shoot so that should get me going has an LED indicator to show how much better you I have left yes I have to charge my battery so that's the camera moving on I have the handheld unit for the c100 so if we were to do a live interviews all you have to do is plug in the mic that Dimitri has into the XLR input and pass through the c100 and you don't have to worry about syncing them in post which is great it's also built really well that's good I also bought an external hard drive for my editing system for scratch disk in Adobe for Adobe Premiere Pro which is cool of course I have a external light that I need for my just in case because you never know how the lighting situation is when you're in the booth so it's better to have some external light to light up the products and showcase what the that's one of the things that I have over here that's my light that's shining a little bit on Eber and giving him a little bit edge light without which actually the image would look a lot different right so now to the editing then we've set up this dual editing station because me and Eber are in separate rooms good stuff we brought in one of the desks from his room along with his chair so that we can be editing together so we can share files and we can no be more in sync instead of just sort of calling each other and being like what are you working on right now so Eber station is absolutely insane you know you don't need to build the desktop machine that you can you need to bring with you to CES this machine has it all this is the eurocom sky x9 so watch out for the review coming very soon on this machine but check this out hardware wise is god's gtx 980m in sli it's got a sky like 67 cpu 6700 cpu which is a desktop cpu 32 gigabytes of RAM 250 gig about 256 gigabytes of nvme storage he's got a 4k IPS display and I think this is the 17 inch right you were 17 inches so you have beautiful you know real estate on the machine and it's fairly lightweight like you can fit this thing in the backpack sure it's gonna kill you back if you are carrying this thing all but for needs like this where you bring it in and you position it as a stationary editing machine is absolutely perfect beautiful backlight he's using the Corsair what is the mousee we're showing our ship at our do you like it great I love it I love the soft touch coating it's really nice RGB looks great review on that will be coming shortly have you done any cool buttons here so that you can watch while you editing you can press stuff unfortunately I haven't got time to program any buttons actually never be cool idea to do something in premiere right like after effects like programs shortcuts in here yeah yeah but I prefer using keyboard shortcuts um yeah those do a great job and he's running well this is my pair of the HD 8 DJ beautiful headphones very nice for reference audio even though they are not totally reference you can still pretty much work with you know these they are fantastic so my station now this is another Yuriko machine the m5 pro make sure to check out the review of that it's a very nice I actually bought this myself and totally decked it out I have one terabyte devices DS in here I have 32 gigabytes of RAM the 970m from Nvidia and the high seven processor so it's fairly fast and it's only in 1080p but it's my IPS display so it's beautiful and it's very color accurate as well the only thing is like the delay this very flimsy looking and feels kind of like it's gonna break if there's something heavy presses on it but whatever it's a very like machine and I can actually travel with this no problem in my backpack without any pains to follow my mouse of choice for right now is the Zoe FK one this is one of the best mice of the year that was awarded because it's driverless and I just really wanted something that worked without having to attempt to you know think of drivers of stuff for my audio I'm running the aeg k 182's oh my god forgot the name absolutely fantastic pair super comfortable and they are reference headphones so that I can hear exactly what the recording or on location or when you're doing voiceovers and now I'm moving on to the audio stuff this is right in the middle between two workstations so either uber or I can use it for voice over recordings without sort of interrupting each other and it's just kind of h5 as I've said with our AQG microphone so thank you guys for checking out our what's in our bag video for CES 2016 in Las Vegas I hope you guys enjoyed our editing setup organ station setup that we little rigged up here but we're super excited to cover the CES once again is the Ebers first times gonna be a lot of walking and he has his fit smart so we can count our steps accurately this time and basically we're looking forward to seeing what CES has the stock and if you have any suggestions on what you'd love to see covered make sure to let us know on Twitter and have our conducts and our first on Twitter's as well because we'll be covering so much stuff and if there's one particular thing that we can perhaps focus more on
