what's up guys Lew here and we wanted to make a gear video to show you guys some of the gear that we brought with us to CES 2013 you guys may recognize AJ if you don't this is your introduction AJ meet the audience not interested me AJ give AJ a thumbs up down below alright this is debut anyway enough about that we're gonna go very quickly because we brought a lot of gear to CES well not as much as last year but still a lot to get through in a relatively short video so let's go ahead and get started with me real quick before I jump inside the bag and show you guys all them tech goodies I want to let you know that I had the opportunity to interview the CEO and founder of MakerBot while I was at CES this year it was an awesome opportunity the video is not on my channel it's actually over on what's trending I was helping them out with a couple pieces of content hit the link in the description go check out this interview it's really cool all right back to the gear review so you want me to backpack I went with a messenger this is a 10 bub egg so it's a camera bag there's a camera insert that you can use with it a couple different ways to get inside so zipper if you got to be quick and sneaky velcro you need to see the whole interior this so anyways let's go ahead and get straight into it real quick you can see a couple pouches here probably there you go micro USB cable you got to have those and moleskin notebook special moleskin pen as well taking notes is never a bad idea or maybe some pattern usually it's not a bad idea over in this pocket the new Samsung Galaxy camera running Android this is an awesome device for uploading quickly so say for example it's an Instagram photo that you want to take and share some of my Instagram photos came from this device right here since it has a SIM card slot in it you can upload over the cell network we were lucky enough to be provided this camera from Telus and they also provided a SIM card so we can upload straight away over LTE while in Vegas big shout out to tell us I'll put their Twitter down below you can tell them you love them as well next device over here on the other side in this other pocket zoom h2n this is an awesome recording device for audio I do my voiceovers I record all kinds of audio using this thing I can do it can do just directly in front it can do a mid side pattern it has a line in if you want to use it with a lav mic takes a regular SD card and regular double-a batteries so that means that you're never really gonna be without power you can always find double-a batteries no matter where you are it's also got a USB you can use it as a USB mic quickly I want to tell you guys you probably think I'm going real fast but trust me we have - there's so much stuff one thing I want to tell you guys if you're interested in any of the products we're talking about I'm going to link as many as I can find down in the description I'll try to find the best price so you can find out more info down there if I'm not covering absolutely everything next we have headphones that I'm always talking about these are the XP 500s from Sony lightweight you could wear them all day long they have great low-end performance and they're not too expensive definitely check out the link on these most you guys know I'm always talking about them but check out the description for more info on those I pretty much talk about this mouse in the exact same way this is the performance MX from Logitech it's been my go-to mouse forever in fact I think I need to get another one get some better battery life awesome Mouse tiny little receiver tons of buttons and lots of precision so a great little Mouse to travel with I have this little road case here that's because inside of here I have my Road lav mic and I really love this lab mic actually it's tiny you barely see it and it has adjustable tips so you can pick different tips depending on you know what you're recording or what you're recording into in terms of an audio interface right now I have the mini jack on there but you can also put an XLR tip lots of other things once again link will be down below I also keep some SD cards in that case as well oh this was actually not in my bag but this is important this this was in my bag I took it out real quick and I should have put it back in this is the h x9 v do a lot of shooting on this as well guys know I'm a big fan Sony has some amazing optical image stabilization and when you're shooting video with a point-and-shoot that's important because you don't have a lot to grip on to this has amazing image stabilisation shoots 1080p at 60 frames or 30 frames in awesome solution for covert shooting you know lightweight shooting has a wicked stereo mic as well I'm a huge fan of the HX 90 there are numerals right now but if you can find this one it's still a great value they HX xx and HX xxx that replaced it are more or less identical although the 30 ads Wi-Fi as I understand it bones let's talk about phones you guys a lot of you guys already know this this is my go-to right now this is the Nexus 4 and IMAX absolutely loving it lately I love the form factor I love the design really sleek slim easy to use I also had this with me this is the note 2 this has a massive battery so for conferences conventions all they use power use this is hard to beat right now because of that massive battery I rarely had to charge it this was this was rocking my old phone number I was I was managing a couple different phone numbers which was a bit of a headache it's forwarding some phone calls anyway I carried two devices just to be safe so the Nexus for my daily driver and the massive battery on the note 2 which you know it's also nice to have a big screen when you don't have a laptop near you because it's gonna give you you know sort of a poor Oh immersive experience I just dropped the I just dropped the the HX 9 feet but check it out it's in this wicked Pelican case which which is gonna protect it just even a baby bed maybe bidding maybe will need to get the newer model now anyway pelican 1010 saving lives everyday or not external hard drive what is this a terabyte or something like that yeah I think so so little external hard drive you can never have too many of those I'm running out of spots to put stuff more stuff is gonna fall double-a batteries you got to have double-a batteries once again for the 8 h2n that I mentioned earlier that takes W values so do other things we got more micro USB cables some business cards these are sweet these little balconies yeah totally recommend these things right here you've got three power outlets and you have two USBs on the top it's protected it's a surge protector it's portable and then this little thing rotates too so if you want to go horizontal or vertical depending on where you're trying to plug this in this is smart protect your electronics more than going straight into the outlet plus you get two USBs how are you going to lose and three when you're at a convention it's hard to come by power outlets yep so you need a multiplier you need a multiplier what else I got oh right here this is from new Trent this is a massive battery backup it's the InP 120 d two USB ports can recharge your phone like five six seven times I don't even remember it's a huge battery in here full details down in the description like everything else I've got an extra card reader an extra battery charger sunglasses you guys have seen me in these babies before anything else I believe that's it and of course my laptop which is actually over there and I'm using it right now to download something so it's not in my actual bag but it would be here and it's actually an older generation 28 2011 MacBook Pro that I have upgraded in a certain way and I don't want a part yet with so that's that's still my daily driver in terms of laptops so that lives over there on my desk at the moment hooked up to Thunderbolt it's doing stuff right now so trust me it's there trust me I brought it okay AJ I'm done dude I'm done I almost broke the camera it was a lot went on but we got through it alright let's check out what AJ brought down to CES 2013 alright my bags a little bigger it's the 511 tactical I believe it's the 12 again link in the description hooked on the front right here into all this moly if you don't know Mali is look it up it's awesome so the idea is you're gonna clip different stuff to the oats yeah you clip all these carabiners right he's a little some kind of mountain climbing thing yeah tactical right ok yes that's quite it's called tactical now G these things are a lifesaver when you're running around the convention all day write this up all day every day right right keep hydrated wish I had more water the beats pill great little product mine's the black one great great for a hotel room trying to get some music keep morale to do when you don't like filming all days Chris what I think we lost morality what else I got in here I have Oh my mouse razer believe it's the Mambo can't remember exactly there's no boxing video link in the description and a Razer portable mouse pad these things are great rubber on the bottom most surface on the top pop it anywhere on your jeans anywhere you get a proper mouths most circuits mousing supposing surface I think you just dropped it that's cool that's alright we're into dropping things today moleskin oh not say enough good stuff a little skin might not the red one yeah because that was misplaced by a little flashy I need the flash alright two tablets last year oh my goodness grades this year two one with the Nexus 7 right actually with the Asus core upper case how much I haven't seen before yeah it's actually really nice yeah check it out a place one alright I'll try and iPad Mini again red theme red theme going on magnetic case you guys are awesome I have the same black in the red yeah I didn't bring any tablets nope I'm kind of like anti cab lately we go actually when you're carrying around a note too right that's that's almost Ablett what are they saying now they're saying phablet we got sharpies woah sharpies get a bunch of business cards and write names on and do all kinds of stuff highlighter a bunch of pens and you guys don't want to see that you got a lot of stuff in there dude yeah it's big big it's awesome I love it there have another galaxy camera same idea so this is Instant Upload we wanted to be locked and loaded in case anything had to get up instantaneously we at least were prepared and ready to do that so Galaxy camera there and I had a Galaxy camera - that's great mine was just wife I didn't have a sim in it but it's even still I was uploading images to my Instagram feed it's great absolutely love it huge screen full Android sweet amazing oh that's it for their back here oh I got a spare phone talk about my two phones that I brought I brought the Nexus 4 as well yeah I got the bumper and zag case on mine I am terrified of breaking my phone I did it to my Galaxy Nexus scratched it scratch the crap out of he cried like a last year at CES actually that's right he was brand new and I cried and then as a backup I brought another Galaxy Nexus the old Galaxy Nexus I used this for basically surfing and Instagram and stuff like that right and this for calls conserve for both right battery life is like the hugest issue that's why most people were rocking the note2 because of a large bag a lot of no twos on the show I would say majority of phones were nada no dude people will know where it's at yeah in here I got my music I went with the locate what you know what's great about it 160 gigs that's true yeah yeah and I went with the Bose in ear Android version headphones right that's something interesting so the the iOS ones will function mm-hmm but the songs skip yeah right doesn't function properly so also it's the three button or two button right there you go yeah so there's two different versions of those headphones once again since we suck at details the links are down link that will give you all the data on each particular right you know what this thing it actually comes with a really nice case it's proper leather so that's what the headphones came with yeah use it for all kinds of stuff all right into oh dear God into the abyss wait before you pull that guy out yeah okay let's tell them about your camera oh yeah like I'm gonna be wondering how you were shooting stuff keep in mind guys AJ shot a lot of the content that you watched from CES yes so I have the H X xx V which is the newer model of behind V that little rocks there's a problem with the focusing right in my camera so as soon as we got back from CES because I noticed it there every couple videos would be a problem I'd have to reach it wasn't it was it was hunting for focus yeah we'd like missed the point of focus and it would it would catch something you know I don't focus so I sent it in to Sony they were real great they're taking care of me they're helping me out but - it's getting fixed right now right so yeah it reminds you guys HX 20 V he was is more or less like my hx9 me just a little bit newer the lens is a little different but a basic 18 times zoom yeah at a 60 yeah we were talking about power this I know it looks ridiculous can you get this out yeah okay it is a lifesaver fact that all of these are adjustable you can plug in bricks to all the different locations to this guy and he's always happy somebody's happy so every time you go to something is gonna be sprawled out on some table somewhere linked up to everything so the next conference will I'm sure they put some happy power guys some shots of that happy power game I got I'm a little more organized than the way more but I like it with the shampoo label yeah I'm always amazed to see them alright so this bag is gonna spill oh you're not really gonna show it no no I'm just gonna highlight we got look at this okay this is quite the story I don't know if I should be telling you guys this yeah what do you think good okay this is just quite the story this thing right here it helped us to split the signal in our hotel room and some of you guys saw the crazy speeds on my speedtest I think we got up to 750 down and 70 up what we did is we just removed the wireless router and we plug straight in to the wall and then we split this amongst the different laptops in the room and that's how we got those crazy speeds so it's never a bad idea have a switch a small little switch this is a tiny switch actually they've gotten a lot smaller its gigabit too so you get some gigs a gig sure you gotta get got a gig big a bit wicked all right so that's that mint table table fact you know I got I got a bunch of large drives right I got a bunch of power bricks right I have some of those many 99 were you guys with all that already I'm not gonna bore you electrical tape just in case Wow you know all right all right that will all been loaded Ethernet cables Gigabit Ethernet kid yeah go with the switch yeah that's right you need to have Ethernet cables with you when you travel because the Wi-Fi is unreliable gets pretty pretty screwed up more cables more cables those are mostly micro USBs this is important yep Donna you see with all the new MacBooks you need dongles or a lot of them yeah yeah the retina models and stuff so at least the 13 inch retina that you have exactly I guess the MacBook Air - right I think so yeah it doesn't have he doesn't have this so if you don't want to use wired internet you need this Thunderbolt dongle what are these run how much are these 29 oh I have no idea link in the description alright there you go they're too much money they're more money than they should be the other cool thing is slim ports HDMI break up for the Nexus 4 so you plug this little bad boy into the bottom of your friend Nexus 4 and you get HDMI out plus you can charge your phone with the mini in the bottom Micro sorry micro in the bottom it's uh it's really great we actually hooked it up to the hotel room TV I have just gotten it we played around with it so in simple terms I'll put the video from your Nexus 4 onto your HDTV over HDMI yeah there's one of the few phones that supports this right now I think the only phone right now over micro USB micro yeah that's crazy so HD video over microUSB the rest of this is all cables where are you giggles cool another one of those Belkin that's hot these are hot I'm going to get one I don't know if I think they're still available if they are I'm gonna find it link it those are wicked we got a SD case right again a little more organized much more organized than me might not even labeled numbered you know there you go that's why these things are great LG around keeps everything in order that's right power brick pretty boy right I had one of those do but I didn't want to share sure there was too much stuff obviously I had to charge my laptop these things are again another mobile power source Razzie I think it's called the spark 2.0 yeah two USB outputs one full battery indicator school battery indicator it's kind of dead right now right but when it's full its for once for iOS devices ones typically for Android or other devices they use a different amperage it's yes I can't do with the current yes so one of the one of them's called optimized and the other is general so you have two ports that you can use for different device came in real also cool about this is you don't need a separate power brick so you have there's my cell phone going off I need a silence that but you tell them tell them about yeah so you plug this right into the wall and you can use that to charge of The Voice devices while you're traveling so you don't have to bring all those tiny little bricks with you you can actually use this as your brake for two devices all right and the last thing in my bag well melissa is on a very important call is my 13 inch MacBook Pro Retina I just picked this up right before the trip really love it except for that little dongle that I have to plug in for hard-wired internet that's light really light really almost as light as the air yeah pretty close right size is perfect too I know the 15-inch for me is a little big I love the 13 I think it's a press of battery-life thing not bad they what are they told like nine hours I don't they say you're not gonna get that oh I've gotten about seven right decent decent more my biggest issue with the retina models everything is soldered on the board now you can't swap out the RAM obviously you can't put whatever SS do you want in it so as you buy it that's the way you're gonna have to use it so make sure to spec it out the way you want in the first place because you're not gonna be able to adjust that later no did you spec it out the way you want I did I did but whose guy beside me in the store who didn't okay there you go and I grabbed mine up with a pretty nice little John I wrapped it up gotta wrap it keep it wrapped all right cool that's everything that's been a long video longer than usual but there's not much you can do about it we had a lot of stuff to cover and so we did and everything you watched shot was done on point-and-shoot cameras the digital SLR we're talking to right now didn't come with us on this trip it came last year didn't get used enough unfortunately in a crowded convention environment you can't do very much with a DSLR while some people can but I feel that it's better to cover more stuff cover more ground run-and-gun get the footage and worry later yeah you know that's more important than how pretty it looks it's a kind of a grungy event trying cover a convention and the best way I think to do it is with small portable gear keep it light stay nimble stay quick this is our third major convention so I think I think we're learning is it oh yeah and we'll be back we'll be back maybe three go back to e3 I'm trying to the Mobile World Congress that would be pretty lame yeah sure wanna okay we span to February we might be at Mobile World Congress who knows all right guys hope you enjoyed this give AJ a thumbs up his debut video yeah this man's looking good talking on camera and I'll catch you guys in the next one all right later
