hello gonna circuit-breaker live the Verge's Gadget Show on YouTube that's the platform you're watching this is the show you're watching you found it Nilay that's Paul Miller well and we've Sarah D cheese here we actually have a huge show today Sarah's gonna talk to us about vlogging here you just buy all these cameras instantly you're successful longer yeah that's amazing our senior feature that our Michaels lenko so much about minimalist cell phones which is a wild trend that's going on Ashley's gonna join us we talk about more smart gardening tech spring regardless of the snow in New York we're short sleeves yeah optimism it's gonna happen you're gonna grow some basil defaults and then Jake is gonna use a circuit breaker you got a ton of questions about the new iPads we're gonna answer all of those but let's start Sara you're here welcome to circuit breaker Q thank you it's great to have you it's great to be a youtuber I am real yeah I know I don't just live in YouTube he's like I know we're talking gear we're talking so much cameras so this is a true thing every like teenager I know once they grow up to be a vlogger it's a fact hmm I would like to go see a lawyer this writings for the birds and I feel like it's pretty easy to start you just start with a phone a lot of people are doing that super easy it's like one of my favorite things about technology it's when I say things about your channel right like technology helps you make things that's great but everybody wants to what's upgrade what gear to get so what's the first upgrade if you are aspiring vlogger you've made some videos there phone you're feeling it what's the first step so I would say go for the point and shoot this is gonna be in the price range of seven hundred to a thousand the one that I use all the time I started with the mark three I know how the mark 5 is the Sony rx100 so this is a point-and-shoot you can fit it in your pocket but it packs a lot of punch so the price tag is $1,000 but you can shoot slow-motion so you can actually go up to 960 frames per second and high frame rate issue in so you can get that slow-mo New York City people walking vibes you know but I would say it doesn't look the best so you need to stay in about 240 or 480 to get footage that is usable of course you need a lot of light but you can shoot at 60 frames per second 120 frames per second and full 1080 and that high frame rate mode it does scale it up but this can also shoot 4k so of course you're getting 4k in phones now but you have to think about the sensor size so this is a one inch sensor which you're not going to get in any phones out there yeah so when you when you think Sony think low light and so a similar point-and-shoot that has the same swivel screen it's great for vlogging would be a canon g7x but that price is probably like three hundred dollars cheaper than it rx100 just because it's not as good in low light it doesn't have that grade of slow motion so the Sony rx100 is kind of you get everything in this tiny convoy but there's one thing so when it comes to vlogging you want good audio yes you can't plug in a microphone into this so there's no audio and there's nothing No so but it is cool because you have a flash and then you also have a viewfinder so you have an electronic viewfinder but yeah so you do sacrifice a few things but if you want that audio jack you can go up to the next line of cameras that a 6,000 a 6500 so those are kind of in that beginner next step I think so he knew that vlogging this came out a while ago like 2012 2013 yeah and they've been doing it for a while yeah they've released a new camera almost every single year from Mark one yeah but they do you think they knew that vlogging would be a trend where they designed this thing like you were telling earlier if you're waiting for the mark 5 you got to think they're gonna put an audio jack or something right and so yeah so I mean this is the mark 5 who knows when the mark 6 is going to come out but um the audio jack thing I do not think that they're gonna put the audio jack in the arc 100 like ever exactly because if they put an audio jack in the rx100 there would be no reason really to buy that like a 6500 or to go that one step up so what you're getting with that next step up is an audio jack is interchangeable lenses but it's just it's those small things that will get you to upgrade to that next like $500 extra and that is like the story of the camera industry like 5000 models and the confusing numbers you know but that's why we're here yeah all right so that's the first step and yeah yeah you maybe want to think about an external microphone and do that - what do you there's like a software piece this - right you get off your phone you no longer have here oh and I've seen you know your iMovie what software do you like start using so usually it's in between - um Final Cut 10 or Final Cut X or Premiere Pro so those are the big steps up however if you have a Mac everyone has iMovie I start an iMovie there's nothing like shameful about iMovie iMovie is confusing as hell thanks for ok ok so forget I'm every time I use it I think to myself this is not teaching me how any other system is a question yes it's not going to translate well if you want to go big so you might as well go big or go home Final Cut X you buy it one time so it's like one two hundred dollar fee or three hundred premiere you pay monthly but you get that whole suite of products you get premier Photoshop Lightroom any any other products that ago he makes you get that for $50 a month and so premier has a lot of things and it has an ecosystem attached to Photoshop and things that I use that is really helpful and Final Cut 10 you have to think about the magnetic timeline some some of the things that are kind of just quirky about it yeah that is it's going to be very weird if you know something before it yeah so if you're new you want to pay a one-time dollars faster than that and it's faster so if you're on Apple you're gonna export something that would take 15 minutes premiere on a Mac in like three minutes whereas with premiere you could buy a PC and it will be like point-and-shoot yeah maybe some editing software talk to us about the next hour yeah this is actually your rig this is my rig so it's it's bigger right and so you have the Joby Gorillapod which is kind of that tripod that all of these vloggers have when I'm in my office and kind of doing more tech related stuff it gets to a point where it's like let's just use a tripod you know I mean they're great this is my main setup it's a rode videomicro this is the new version that if you if you see here when I turn on my camera the mic automatically turns on which is very nice because previously I would record a segment forget to turn on my mic and then lose all the audio which is not good so yeah this is my main setup you know I shooting 24 frames per second and then we were talking about earlier this is a vergence cluesive but something that I like about the Sony is you have a lot of picture profiles so I shoot in VPP 3 profile which is basically just a flatter profile but you get more contrast in saturation than in like pp7 and what picture profiles are for people who are unaware is it's a flatter image that lends to a better a better editing experience when you're trying to add color trying to color greater image to maybe a certain look that you want this isn't like shooting wrong no no so it's not a heavier process in your computer after but it's basically saying you have a flatter image that you can then go and add saturation contrast at Alette to your will and make it look how you want to look you color corrector everything that you put on YouTube I do I do sometimes it's more heavy sometimes it's lighter but because I shoot with a little bit of a flatter profile you have learned or see that pp3 you heard it here first guys I have to say one the chat loves that you're here oh other question says feed you fam in a house and then there's just a full-on Mac versus PC one person says iMovie is a trash fire that's to drink so what do you use this just like show us like okay you're going to film something today yeah what do you what do you moves so basically the lens that is the lens it's pretty important so this is a 16 to 35 it's a pretty wide lens so that means when I turn it around myself you know usually I have this Joby and like what's up guys I'm a vlogger this is happening this is happening right now maybe this might be in a vlog of some sort this is going to capture most of my surroundings without it being flip out screen so yeah I don't so you have to trust it you know and this is the thing with the sony is you can trust the autofocus system i would say if you're looking for a camera with amazing autofocus and that is number one priority and go with the canon for sure but sony it has good enough autofocus so when it comes to a camera that maybe has more features and is more worth it in terms of specs i would go with the GH 500-strong rack yes but i yeah so these are the two I would put next to each other so you have the sony a7s 2 and then you have the G H 5 H 5 has a swivel screen which is clutch so when you're vlogging you turn it around you know we can see each other see then when you do it you're gonna be constantly looking in that double screen you gotta pay attention to the audience you know but this so it can shoot up to 180 frames per second so it does super slow-mo you have a swivel screen you have the different picture profiles and it doesn't have a record limit yeah so when you hit 30 minutes on this it's gonna it's gonna shut off you have to hit it in well it's technically a photo camera so it's like an import tax so they can call this a photography camera and not get an extra video camera tax put on it crazy so this the gh 5 is technically a video camera so they can go past that 30 minute record limit and so there's things like that but then the autofocus in this so there's a lot of things out there on the internet that are like autofocus fix if you film in like you know 30 frames per second you do this thing and will be fixed which is tricks that you for how you use the camera or what you learn tricks for like settings in the camera however that's dependent on the are we ntsc here inside us so it's dependent on like the PAL system and stuff so it really doesn't like help for shooting at 24 frames per second so there's a lot of trade-offs but this is also a Micro Four Thirds sensor yeah so and this is full-frame and this is full-frame so maybe I'm just picky but when I compared the footage of both of them instantly you're like oh that full-frame look I missed that full frame like so we have a couple minutes left but we have some new Sony cameras yes so to walk us through the line cuz you're saying you're waiting for the a7 s33 873 yes but we have the new versions yeah Suri's this is deeply confusing - oh it is so confusing so let's put these next to each other so this is the a7 r3 so when it comes to the art think photography so this has almost double the amount of pixels as this so when you're shooting uncompressed raw on an a7 our three you're gonna get like an 80 megabyte hundred megabyte file to work with so photography a7s2 video but we're waiting for an a7 s3 it might be around the corner who knows so a7s2 video a7 are three photography and then you have this like awkward yeah I mean this lens is beautiful I mean this is this is the 85 1.4 yeah it's a juicer it's probably 2500 I should have looked before but this isn't mine I wish it was mine yeah so these are two are brand new and but you you're saying for vlogging you're waiting you either buy this one now if you want to get into it or wait for wait maybe the rx100 and this last one is the a7 3 which is a good middle ground so it's not going to be as expensive as the new a7 or um but the a7 a 6500 those are good milligrams and then lastly so you've made the big upgrade you're living in this world yes and you this is Sarah actually showed up with her stuff with all these cases and all this day because of managing these cameras is apparently very hard yes and these are very basic things maybe it's like old school rule or things that people did but with an a7 s you're gonna go through batteries like that so I have 10 to 15 batteries so it's you want to be able to manage and know what batteries are alive and what are dead so basically if I you know number my batteries this is just washi tape and basically if it's on top that means it's good to go and when the battery is dead I just stick the washi tape on the bottom and so when it's at the bottom of my bag I know that this is dead do not grab the bag he already showed this to be in rehearsal sign these because these things burn through batteries oh yes like crazy so just hate you know and then these are basically two SD Pelican cases that I use just for SD cards um you only accidentally delete footage once you know that's only a problem that you happen it happens once and then you try to fix it so basically I keep all of my full SD cards in one case and all of my empty SD cards in another I know like don't touch Sarah I still need to load this onto the computer they can just actually most common comment we've gotten people are arguing a lot of people saying phones are fine yeah I the note eight I got to play with recently has a lot of great like slow-mo and stuff and then I'm I'm a user of the iPhone 10 mmm-hmm which is good yeah what's up what's a good upgrade if you just have a fun you stick with your phone.i goodness in terms of accessories yeah I would say check out a moment lenses really because they really help take your phone and bring it to that next level because you basically put a case on your that we had tons of moment yeah fantastic you have telephoto fisheye why I would have I would have 100% guests you were gonna say I'm microphone yeah tell the people where to find you whatever watch your channel yes you can just Google Sarah peachy but also if you're on the internet maybe my name's somewhere you can just find me at youtube.com slash Sarah deechi it's a hard last name but that's their Aditi runs the PG what's your last name at all oh my first times Neil I I don't know let's go to another difficult last name Jake a stern a can answer all your questions about that new iPad take away Jake we had a ton of questions about the new iPad last week it just came out we just posted our review of it today but I still wanted to go over some of the most common questions that we got and the really really big one was about the school we've got a ton of questions asking about how it compares to other iPad screens and the reason this is coming up is because the screen on the iPad pro is just so good and the answer is this display is not as good that's because the iPad is $300 cheaper than the iPad pro so what you're missing is the anti-reflective coating you're missing the high refresh rate you're missing the wider color gamut and one thing that people keep asking about is the air gap there's going to be a little tiny bit of a gap between the glass display and the actual LCD itself and if you're just looking at the screen for the first time if you're not looking at them side-by-side it's still going to be a really nice screen if you've seen any other iPad you will know how makes very good screens for these tablets they're one of the best you can get but if you do put it side-by-side it is clear that the iPad pro still has a way better screen and that is really the reason to get it so if you're a designer somebody who that really matters for that's still going to be the way to go the second question we had was is this iPad can be good for gaming and I think it's gonna be you know about as good as any other iPad I'm not necessarily huge on touchscreen controls but I think it's fun for like stuff like hearthstone we were just talking about hub G in battlegrounds the other day you can definitely do this to the specs are basically the same as the iPhone 7 so if you've used that or any newer iPhone you know what you're gonna get should be good and then a last question again just a whole sort of assortment of questions which is how does this compare to other iPads we already went over the screen that's really the big differentiator it now supports the pencil so both of them are equal on that level really the big other difference is that the iPad pro has the keyboard connector and so I would say that unless you're really planning to use this for graphic design or to replace your laptop that the cheaper iPad is probably gonna have everything that you need and the thing I would really want to point out is that you can basically buy two iPads for the price of an iPad pro so if you think you'd rather have two you probably don't need the pro and the iPad probably has everything that you need since it is already one of the best tablets out there so that's all for me we now have a video from Phil who is going to try to figure out to use a Harmony remote hi I consider myself to be a pretty technological person I've wanted a harmony remote for a long time so I think this should be pretty simple I don't really know what this thing does I assume this plugs into the TV somehow I don't think it's a touchscreen because nothing works and it just says my harmony calm so I'm gonna go to my harmony com2 all right welcome to harmony it says nothing about how to set this up I'm kind of stuck Oh fun insertion I'm just kidding I found a poster that I ripped so I think it my computer which I don't really want to do this seems like a lot of setup to just get over remote working one micro USB cable I don't know with my videos before it is on here plugged in and nothing's happening I refer back to my poster I just set up an account for the remote setup to my harmony and there's stuff right today right like ten minutes deep and I haven't even gotten this remote off of be whatever splash screen that is fun this app looks like it's from 1999 you see that it looks horrible I just got an email difference of many your remotes ready in four simple steps I've already done like seven steps okay it's now giving me the option I could drag and drop like thirty different common inputs I can't even find HDMI which doesn't make sense to me alright it's not set up properly I don't know what I did wrong it's probably video eight instead of video nine but I'm still on this flash screen and I now feel that I've wasted $250 don't buy this the back oh it's on I set up that remote one of my favorite things well I feels like everything I've ever tried to do with all technology I know if I go on the show a week all right Michael's my goes here hello Michael Michael is our senior features editor that's right you recently underwent what sounds like a very painful experiment you tried to live with one of these minimal cell phones for two weeks actually all of them all of them so over the course of two weeks I played with four phones in an effort to kind of disconnect a little bit try out some minimal devices these are real high played these are hype there's a bit of a movement going on with people kind of disconnecting a little bit with their phones so we got four of pretty minimal devices here and people just kind of like little fewer features can't really text that well no cameras that kind of stuff we exploit this life to see if it was for you or do you see what the draw was for other people I think a little bit of both so I have an iPhone 6 which isn't the nearest phone but it's new enough but I find it extremely distracting I find myself like scrolling through my feeds for hours on end so I was curious to see what it'd be like to play with one of these and maybe spend a little bit less time on my phone and he loved it is what I heard alright so this is the unit Hertz jelly let's get this going so this is just the Android phone I mean it's extremely tiny that's the first thing you'll notice about it it runs Android seven has a front-facing in the back facing camera the specs and these cameras are not important the specs these cameras are not important and not that interesting but what it's just a tiny little Android it's just a tiny bit slack can I open your snapchat yeah I don't think I'm logged in begin open it this is hilarious yeah just a little is it a slider it doesn't slide it looks like it slides yeah but you will break it if you like what about the keyboard ass so the thing is the problem with this phone is that the keyboard is very very tiny I mean the entire thing is extremely tiny but actually trying to use this it's almost impossible so like oh I have normal-sized fingers which most people do and it makes everything Alice how is oh hell live hello yeah yeah that's the drawback I mean the other drawback is this phone has about 4 hours of battery life so I end up having to carry on a battery pack with me which defeated the whole purpose of having a minimal device I felt very connected to the battery pack that's how much is this thing this thing's 130 ok just preach it and then this is like big hype last year this is big high 8310 that's right so Nick here we release this or they released the version last year it is almost identical to the original though it has a bigger screen by the way everyone is say in the chat is saying you should use glide typing on that I think it'd be home I still think it'd be hell so you open this up and it kind of was like it's updated it looks like a new phone disco Facebook it's got Facebook you think it has Facebook but you'll actually open it and Aliens a set card but it opens the web browser yeah it opens a browser and yep it's like navigating these things like almost impossible I tried to log in from Facebook for like 10 minutes I finally gave up it's really not worth it and same with the Twitter app they're not real apps it's good team on ok it's got t9 so you have to kind of like brush off your t9 skills and mine are not good yeah but if you wanted yourself using more abbreviation you do and you find yourself making a lot more typos and your punctuation goes down the tubes but if you want to text less maybe it's not a good not a bad thing right like if you're trying to disconnect and be less in conversations then maybe having t9 is a good way to go okay it's got sick lobos snake it's got snakes snakes pretty good still oh it's Gabe now oh it's been super dressed up yeah this is too much this is not what you want from side oh no I want LCD blocks so this is this is the punk tempio one punk is a swiss company they make one too minimal products they decided to make a phone this phone costs more than you would expect this phone costs 230 dollars and this phone only does two things so this phone only you can only make calls and you can only text texting is t9 it has a couple buttons on the front this is your kind of this is your phone book and this is where you can tax the big problem with this phone is that it breaks up text and it doesn't thread them so you have an inbox and outbox will have sent templates why would you build Outlook instead of just threaded text a 2018 I don't want to embarrass you I just want to help explain t9 for people that are you want me to create a message like I'll do it if you want I mean all right here we go I'm the ex 29 here's the other awful part about this phone is that this thing which is supposed to capitalize the first letter in a sentence and then keep all the ones and lower cabs mm-hmm doesn't work so just cap all of them which makes you sound like a lunatic or like you're really angry or excited about me yeah and then that's just the end I'm not very good at this well that's t 99 is you push the number of multiple times to get to one of the letters in case someone you know so we've got young audience that's true yeah yes this is a so it's very slow but it kind of does like help you disconnect one text nothing cost two hundred thirty dollars and it only operates on a 2g network and only t-mobile has a 2g and only t-mobile 2g network and they're gonna phase out their network within the next two years so if you ever gonna buy it buy it now they're gonna come out with a 3d 3G version this is definitely the world's most expensive burner yes and it looks pretty good it's very pretty so it seems really nice this is the hypest type of all this is the hyper type this is the light phone this is $150 this does exactly one thing which is make phone calls so I'm gonna turn it on so this thing is actually really really cool although it does hardly anything all you can do is make phone calls you can store ten numbers in it but you have to save the numbers when you connect the phone to your computer and that's kind of all it does so you cannot you can either tether it to your smart phone or you can have a 2g simin here and it's kind of cool like honestly this looks like the most futuristic thing I've seen in a really long time even though it looks clunky and like basic there's something extremely futuristic about how light it is how small it is the size of a business card even like the crappiness of this display is like a little bit futuristic yeah and glowing just see here get my metro card going this is gonna work yeah whenever you want to sit on it yeah that's what the real Costanza situation try not to show off my credit card how's your back all right pretty good audio quality on all these well let's find out let's find out I'll call my phone and I wanna show the camera don't let anybody know so I was gonna use like some reflections are your eyeballs calling calling you know yo what's up Boas just hanging out you sound terrible you sound great like this takes yeah I do yeah you sound awful I mean I will say that this makes this speaker makes your voice sound deep and resident but when you talk through it it takes all of the low end out of you yeah this is extremely painful how much does this thing this thing is 150 bucks they ship 10,000 units what's exciting about this is that they're releasing a second version or at least they say they will next year and you can be able to text on it yeah I suppose you have an e ink display they said it's even gonna have some apps they're gonna have like some navigation stuff in it this is you start with a super minimal phone and then the next version you gotta add I do I view it not as minimalism but that we want to burn everything down and build from scratch yeah well you said the next one isn't gonna have what they're not gonna have is social media or news those are the two things that are like we're definitely not having that everything else they're like negotiable ah yeah so if you if you had to actually use one of these as your only phone for a while which one would you go I would use this one this far t9 is a little unbearable and I do need to text so this thing is really cool but like honestly nobody's gonna pick up my calls like nobody picks up calls anymore so even if you have this and you're like well I have a phone in case of emergency because it's like it does minimize the amount of time you spend on it because it's so uncomfortable and this is my thing my on my desktop I use a bad twitter client right because after a while I'm like I guess I'm using Twitter it's a horrible so limits when I used to keep it small fears slightly a crappy technology Fahrenheit 451 has a small TV instead of the big room size TV yeah it's you went straight to Fahrenheit absolutely all right well reefer nights are for real people thank you Michael you want I'm sorry that you are required to use from now on yeah I can't stop you from making these videos what you do well I was so excited that we were gonna see Sara's vlogging setup I wanted to talk to James one of our photographers here at The Verge about his product photography setup so I shadowed him for a photo shoot cigarette hey it's your friend Paul Miller I'm here at the office early Friday morning it's probably around 7 a.m. here to check out James baram's photography process he does all the photos for the vert well not all the photos he does some of the cool photos for the Virg I want to see how does he get that Virg look step 1 find James James how's it going it's going well Paul I know it's really early in the morning it it's past 10:00 but I wanted to see your process well thank you welcome to my process tip 1 have a camera have a camera so shooting on the 5d mark 3 okay with a lovely love this lens what is it 50 millimeter 1.2 so it's a standard lens 50 millimeter lens is the closest to the focal length of the human eye okay in the tip to have some lights have some light so that you can see and when you have your lights so subsection of tip 2 you have a main light and a fill light okay tip 3 always have access to reflectors both dark shadow reflectors and bright we've got white around here if we needed that yeah there are little tricks that you can do like have you have a laptop I believe yes most laptops if they're like silver or bright you can open them up and they make an awesome reflector and if you have a coat you can have a reflector in there and a coat put it the other side and that creates shadow just little things moving around it's all simple so what we have is we have the shadow coming this way is from this light and the main light I love to have all the main light in all of the shots we do or as many as possible when we do still life to come from the top so it's like the light is coming from your eyeball as a viewer know it's like you're sitting in the same light as the subject we're shooting because you're if you're outside the light is up here or you're in a room the lights are in the ceiling so when you're looking at it kind of mimics the lighting around it if we keep the lighting consistent across different products if we have a phone and a laptop and a camera that we've all shot hmm and it's all on the verge comm great website check it out all of these images are consistent okay they fit so there's like a context on exactly we don't shoot things and then cut them out and put them on a color background we shoot them for real real plus I call it real but better it does actually call it real cause then tip four is make sure you have little bits of gaffer tape or little bits of putty to make things level and stand up clean the products but we don't want to clean it because real plus is we want it to be real we don't want it to look like an ad right we don't want it to look like it's a render this is real Google glass and then tip where are we up to tip four I believe but what it does always when you're shooting a picture try and keep the camera level and square you don't want to be coming in from one angle or another because it distorts things and then I really like the fiddling aspect so you basically have your variables which are the two lights the reflector and the shadow err yes and then you fiddle with all those variables and then obviously get the subject to frame and level and stuff like that it's like recording music in a studio it's it's all about the mix you have all of the components and it's all about the mix all about the mix thanks James thank you very much a little so much I've learned so much I like saying these things because I make it up as I go along we're back ashes here oh if people are asking you were at the beginning really yeah mom here here so real quick I just want everybody know we are aware of the situation at YouTube headquarters the team in our newsroom is covering a very calm and check out more we'll be covering it all day it's very serious we've just got one more segment of the show so we're just gonna wrap up and then we're gonna go check in on that so hopefully everyone is YouTube is okay but we're just going to wrap up and move on to that so ash yes you for his plans yes because you know what it's miserable outside Nilay and we need to spring this it is snowing in April I'm trying to like uh sir be the change I want to see in the world while wearing a shorts a shoe I'm so proud of you thank you so I brought us a new gadget that's not on the market yet but before we get to it I wanted to kind of look back at smart planter attempts yes so Neil I you are intimately familiar with eating a hand this is my eating yeah yours so you can see how dirty it is this was actually outside in our garden so this is a smart planting system so if it's a regular garden outside which we had just regular dirt in the ground this is a soil sensor it's solar-powered connects to your Wi-Fi it's actually really cool connects to Wi-Fi it's a system called blink so it flashes a light and you hold your phone up to it or your phone flashes it screen and a light sensor reads your wife I'd like a cure code but with flashing lights so this sticks in the ground it measures your soil moisture and you know nutrients and all that it you thought well plants you have it tells you if it's the sort is appropriate for plants what you might need to do and it pings dark-sky lose it knows it's gonna rain and then this is the watering valve so you plug a hose you plug your garden hose into the side you follow your sprinkler into this side and if it's not gonna rain saying opens up starts watering your plants so what's the catch the catch is this is a tank this was all designed by Yves Behar okay we sold them in Home Depot for a while and a big deal it's a tiny little startup of company and that is the catch so it's a tiny little service company I was trying I wanted to show everybody the app they're having server problems I can't login right now you know I just like I hope I really like them I met their CEO he's a nice guy I hope they survive with every cloud connected gadget you got a you just gotta make the bet like is this company gonna survive or they still are your plants alive the plants did great cuz they were water yeah that's what I realized that people just don't want of their plan so all of these gadget is like Oh will water the plant for you yeah what's this thing seems ridiculous so okay but they it's the whole thing it's acidity and you never really did anything with that right we didn't need to okay you just have great soil up there so parrot the drone company I do not know why randomly back like Amy back in 2015 they announced it they announced this parrot pot which the idea behind is is like a plant babysitter it's supposed to keep your plants like they can go indoor/outdoor and it look has a light sensor so it's looking at light has a temperature sensor and moisture sensor and importantly instead of a hose hookup it has a reservoir so you fill it up with water double-a batteries to power it and it connects over bluetooth to your phone so I'm going to show you guys this we've planted something called a snake sounds like sneaky plant I took a picture of our CDs my whole life and never knew what they were called so I'm connected to our planter right now it tells me water level and also how moist the soil is you can put it in automatic mode where it's like it it can last for a month that they say so you can take a nice long vacation right now it's pairing but you know you call paired a drone company but I've been covering parent long enough to know that pair will just hop on a tiara and it's like they invented a blue sheet ship and they're like wow I think that's because they were a Bluetooth headset headsets they did like car stereos really just vamping all this thing pairs their progress I mean this is really slow so clearly their Bluetooth chip is not great but I will say that this was originally priced at 100 please work and there's a way to put in a pairing mode you can see this it's like how much closer here we're basically in the pot so it was originally price that 150 you can find them online for like 50 bucks now they don't make these anymore it's like got it and then it like made me laugh and laugh it's really exciting okay so in the past we have talks about this gadget the click and grow I just brought it here for reference because clicking grow is actually doing I think decently well there's no business which is at this point a good thing potting soil ponds and their way to monetize so with the pair pot you could use your own plants to eat in it's your own garden whatever you wanted click and girls like you know what we're gonna monetize by selling you proprietary pods which is why I love them and this is not actually connected it's a timer light and the app idea originally I think was to try to teach people how they could garden at home and have their own indoor garden but unfortunately their app has been really bad about teaching people that was one of my big gripes alright so with all of this in the background meal I still working on this pantry I try to figure it out we have this massive thing the grow duo so it's from a company called grow they're in New York City this is designed to go outside you don't need proprietary pods it's your own seeds and it has sensors in the bottom so for the soil it's measuring the moisture and temperature and outside it has a light sensor a temperature sensor and you'll see inside has this little it hooks up to your hose has a little sprinkler system there's two of them because he wanted me so when it detects then it needs water the sprinklers on what what's your involvement at this point at this point you would have to plant the seeds and harvest them and they give you tasks so they want you to feel like you're still part of the garden so maybe you should prove okay so you can see this my pleasure earlier planted beets which I have but because you can see we have basil in there there's other herbs there a big idea because clearly monetization is huge they want to also sell people these seed cheap at least some iPods that's a sheet of seed it's a sheet of seed so in the app it would show you but what you would do everything is pause this flies in the face of everything I thought I knew about seeds in there put this little sprinkler right through the middle this will disintegrate they would ask you to sprinkle a little soil on top and then it is plant and I can view it what I'll do and what they really liked about this is they suggest to you different vegetables and things that will work in your environment so knows you're in New York City I'll say hey it's winter this is kind of your option is this beets beets and basil essentially so these are good degrees right they suggest things that are good for you I mean early spring and they'll tell you when it's going to be able to harvest so we just planted these now it would be ready at the end of May so I can look at my activities here oh my god here my activity is I'm actually gonna go with the prune and it's going to teach me a little bit about how to prune them so this is really trying to sure to be a farmer it wants you to feel involved right and then when the apocalypse comes ready thank god this ribah taught me how to farm I see cheat I'm going to cut some basil because this is the one skill I did actually learn when I use the click and grow earlier this year by the way somebody in the chat said I see clicking grow it all my friends houses seriously who is this person I want to know them actually okay I'm gonna cut these guys you always want to leave two basil plants maybe I should pick one closer oh well I think I'm screwing this up guys but you know what you can always get another seat all right I have a cold so I can't smell anything but I will let Paul and Neil I smell it certified this is real basil basil is the official plant of the circuit breaker show it's good yeah basil I'll try it later exciting toothpaste Caleb says I've seen that clicking grow up multiple friends parents houses oh and they are dried up in the corner it's a good well okay my parents I actually got them a clickin girl for the holidays and my dad was so upset that the tomatoes really can't get very high up and they're really small so he planted them in his own planter and now they are thriving he took them out of the clicking girl all right this is very exciting so going back to the pair of hot just for a second I want to show you how the water system works so there's a reservoir if I press water connected this is a lie it's super lied to us I'm gonna try quitting this happening all right well I think when you close the app if you wanna know why okay why this product is no longer okay Ashley thank you so much yeah all of you please grow plants the personís 199 is not available till July so Sheila terrible yeah and it comes with all the seat sheets and things all right so here's what I learn anyway today we're gonna start Gardens uh-huh become vloggers I'm
