hey guys johnathan here welcome to the holiday edition of the best tech under 100 so first up I know a ton of you guys out there shoot video and this is the rode videomicro which is a compact microphone that's gonna increase your audio quality without breaking the bank now this thing is small like really small so that means not going to add any bulk to your setup and for under hundred bucks it's a really complete package you obviously get the microphone itself the 3.5 millimeter audio cable which are used to connect to the camera and involve a shock mount and a windscreen which helps tremendously outdoors now it's awesome is that this is powered by your camera so you're not gonna have to worry about messing around with batteries and more importantly this sounds great better than would have expected for the price so this is what the microphone attached obviously the audio is gonna sound good but as far as the video goes this is Ralphie shot he has to take charge with video see you guys judge him and judge him hard so this is with the microphone detached and you should hear a huge difference in audio quality actually with a camera like the rx 10 which I'm recording with right now that microphone is actually geared more to pick up sound on the back side of the camera so Ralphie I like 21 choices yogurt so yeah I think that made a huge difference and definitely a killer piece of tech for you filmmakers out there following that are actually the headphones I was using to monitor sound these are the audio technica ath em 30 X's so if you'd been eyeing the 88 m50x but really didn't want to drop that much cash these are a great alternative now the main difference with these you're gonna slightly smaller frequency range and also smaller drivers but for the price they still sound fantastic they're a super solid option if you do any voiceover work or playing back and edit in your videos and on top of that they're also great for just straight-out listening to music now the only thing that I'm not crazy about is a straight cable which can get a little messy but that doesn't bother you I would definitely jump on these following that is a Voyager six thousand milliamp hour external battery which is not just an external battery but a wireless Qi external battery now even though this is the best tech under 100 right now this is currently under 50 bucks so if you have a phone that takes advantage of wireless charging the problem with most wireless solutions is they're not truly Wireless so of course you do have to charge this up initially but once you got that juice this is actually wireless charging you can of course also charge with a traditional USB cable if you want but if you or someone you know has a phone it supports wireless charging this looks great has a solid other capacity and really is a must-have piece of tech next up is the polaroid cube action camera which is super compact a little quirky looking but surprisingly awesome this thing is just over cubic inch and really to me the perfect travel camera for situations where you don't to bring out your smartphone or your DSLR or your points you just capture video and something really unique and what stood out most to me is the fact that this mounts magnetically so that in combination with small form-factor really allows you to mount this in places that you maybe normally wouldn't have and the end result of that is some really cool looking shots now with this you have the option to record out of 720p or 1080p this will support micro SD cards up to 32 gigabytes has a ton of mounting accessories and again if you do a ton about do activities this might be the best compact action camera for the money last up is the iHome i bt 29 bc and ridiculous name aside this is a glowing Bluetooth alarm clock that will also charge your phone now me like I'm sure most of you out there are going to use bluetooth to transmit music to this but if you're old-school this also supports FM radio sound quality is saw but really why I picked this is I am a huge fan of mixed lighting and anything that obviously adds color to a setup whether you throw this on your desk or on the side of your bed it's gonna look good and maybe most importantly this excels at its main function which is being an alarm clock the screen is bright it's clear it's easy to read and really just kind of rounds out this as an entire package now sighs now that wraps up the video hopefully you guys enjoyed it if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to go $5 monkey stand on that like button and make sure to follow me on Instagram Twitter and snapchat because that is where I'll be randomly giving away everything you saw in this video
