What's up beautiful people? It is your homegirl Ms. Shameless
all up in your building.
And we are back for another Tech Talk.
Where the hell have you been, trick?
Getting my life, trying to at least.
This video is going to discuss these products over here.
There's some new stuff, some old stuff, and some stuff
that you have been asking me about on Snapchat.
So I was in Las Vegas
for the Consumer Electronics Show back in January,
and it was so much fun.
I really could have just really camped out there for a week,
which I didn't.
There was so many gadgets and toys, I was living my life.
But a few items that stood out to me.
This is the Ztylus, and it's a phone case
for your iPhone 6, 6+, 5, 5s.
And it comes with these attachments, lenses.
This is a revolving lens kit, there's three of them,
make sure you guys stay tuned
because we're going to do a giveaway,
but three lenses in one.
There's fish lens,
which kind of gives like a globe, bowl fisheye effect.
There's the wide lens.
And then there is a polarizing filter.
Which I don't know how I feel about
because there's so many apps that you can download
that are designed to fill-in and polarize.
But I do love this case, it's super cute when you rock it.
It's definitely a statement piece, conversation piece.
And the only thing I kind of wish was
they had little loops here so I could hang it from my chest
and carry it as if it was a camera.
But for now it's an iPhone case that's super cool and cute.
So that's the revolving three lens.
And then we have a ring light.
So it attaches like such.
And unlike the Lumee or Ty-Lite,
this is for the back-facing camera,
so it's not much of a selfie thing,
it's more of a, "Let me take photos of food and products."
So the thing that's great about this is for lowlight conditions.
So if you're going out for dinner,
maybe going out at a club, this is great.
With the ring light you can adjust the brightness,
the temperature, so let me turn it on for you.
See that's warm, and that is cool,
and this is bright, and this is low.
So adjustable settings.
Very cute, let me turn you off.
And it's battery operated.

Three lucky winners! Moving on.
This and this were from my Tech Haul, from Google,
so this fancy Motorola 360 watch is beautiful, she's gorgeous,
but this is rose gold, this is amazing, this is awesome.
This works well with Android devices,
with my Nexus 5X it works great,
with my iPhone, I downloaded the app, it doesn't even read
that I have a watch.
So it's kind of obsolete on my iPhone,
which is kind of lame,
but what I do like about this watch is
when you synch it up with your Android device
you get notifications of emails,
YouTube comments,
it synchs all the Google products onto your watch.
And if you get a text message
and you don't have your phone with you
it will come straight to your watch.
And it has short forms and how to reply
because there is no keyboard,
it's like I'll call you back, busy right now.
Really love this, beautiful.
The Apple Watch doesn't stack up,
but this is beautiful, it's not practical for working out
because it's too gorgeous,
and you don't want to like sweat it out.
Then I have my Google Chromebook.
It does gymnastics guys.
Yeah, I've had this for some time now.
What I like about it is it's small, it's compact.
I love travelling with this, I can answer emails on the plane.
This sits perfectly on my fold down table.
And pros;
it's small, it's adjustable, it's a read-only device.
So if you're a parent
and you want to control your children give them this.
You cannot download apps on this device.
This synchs with Google products,
again Google is taking over the world and I ain't mad.
But you can't download Microsoft Word, Excel.
It has the Google Documents, Google Drive,
you can do all of that online.
So this is designed for internet usage.
You can check your Gmail,
you can still surf the internet using Google Chrome, YouTube.
It's specific to browsing and not downloading.
There is a USB port, two of them, and SD, micro-SD, HDMI.
You can transfer information,
so if you want to plug-in your camera
or your mini-SD card into this,
you don't save it onto the notebook itself,
you save it onto Google Drive.
So the way that the world is moving
is more about storage that is shareable in the cloud, okay?
I really like this,
especially when I watch movies or shows in bed
on Hulu or Netflix because I can adjust it.
This touch screen which I really like.
How does this stack up against like an iPad?
There is no back-facing camera,
there's one front-facing camera.
You cannot download apps like Skype,
you can use Google Hangouts.
That's that! I love this. I gave my mom my iPad.
Hard drives, I love –
I have lots of these hard drives,
I have lots of hard drives.
I have lots of different types of hard drives.
I have Seagates, I have Lacies,
I have – I just bought this,
I figured I'd throw it into the haul
because I posted a photo on Instagram
and you guys wanted to know what this was. It's a hard drive.
I store all of my videos and photos on these.
I'm a hoarder when it comes to holding onto memories and stuff,
in terms of 1s and 0s.
So all of my videos, if I saved them properly, they're on here.
I recommend getting hard drives that have a USB 3.0 port
or this Thunderbolt cable.
Thunderbolt is expensive, probably too expensive.
A USB 3.0 is perfect.
If you are filming video that's the way you need to go.
It's the transfer rate.
So I don't store videos on my computer,
everything is stored here.
When I work on Final Cut, when I work on iMovie,
any program you're working on with video
the transfer rates are fast on these.
I thought I'd throw that in there.
Then I was in Miami for the Leading Women Defined for BET,
and they had a gift bag,
and I was just like, "Forget all this stuff! What is this?!"
This is in fact a charger. It's a portable thin charger.
Look at how small that is.
Look at how it stacks up to my phone.
This is coming with me everywhere, why?
Because it fits in my purse, my clutch,
when I'm on that red carpet, boo.
This is, this is the ish right here.
And the company is based out in New York,
it's called Puku Light. Get it!
I think I went online, it's $49.99, which is not bad at all.
Moving on to this recording device that I'm filming on.
It's filming directly into my camera,
but this is the H5N Zoom Mic.
This is the H4N Zoom Mic.
I've had this for three years,
and the thing just stopped working on me,
I can't stand you.
Now mind you when I did buy this three years ago
I had dropped it two weeks after I bought it,
so these things, here the microphone broke right away.
But I glued it, and I was like listen,
I just paid $200 you're not conking out on me.
What I like about this is this detaches.
So had this been able to detach, two weeks after I broke it,
I could have just bought a new like headpiece for the mic.
I can with this one!
So I hope I don't break you.
But the manufacturers made some upgrades.
It has like a rubber, it's rubberized. So that's great.
If you're a YouTuber you're going to be using this,
and the great thing is you can plug this directly into your –
[crash] Oh! -- your camera.
You can look in my description box,
I have link on Amazon where you can buy it.
I don't sell it, I just put everything together in a store for you guys
so you can buy it.
So it's just that much easier for you to spend your money.
I get a kickback on some sort of commission,
which is great because I gave them a hookup.
Then I have more microphones,
and I have one that's in my shirt.
So Rode Microphone has all these different recording devices.
I got this thinking it looks so similar to my H4N,
this must be amazing.
The thing is it records sound extremely low.
Par exemplar.
This is a test, I'm using the – oh, oh,
now you decide to work, okay, really? Hmm.
Okay, it's working now.
So this is the IXY microphone
and it's plugged directly into my iPhone
so it kind of looks like the H4N Zoom mic,
just make sure you face it in the direction
of where the sound is coming from.
You don't want face it up, you don't want to face it down,
you want to face it, you know,
as close to the source as possible.
There's a program, an app that you can download,
the Rode app, it sucks on my iPhone.
I use it both on my iPhone 5s and my 6
and it doesn't want to operate.
It actually operates on my 5s, my bad.
It works on my 5s, it doesn't work on my 6.
So that's the sound of the Rode mic,
now there's more Rode mics, so we'll just stop that.
The video mic, the VideoMic Me.
This is another recording device
that you can record directly into your voice memo.
See? Let me just turn it around.
This one is adjustable, it can move,
which is great if you want to be able to move.
And this is for when it's outside recording in the wind.
Now I'm not going to lie,
when I did record on this outside in the wind
there was a weird static interference,
so I wasn't really happy with that.
[audio interference] Then again we had a super cheap flight.
[audio interference] Now the last tip on that
[audio interference] on booking your flight would be
[audio interference] make your own connecting flights.
And I'll link in this video so you can see
because that video was recorded with this.
So outside performing in the wind --
Inside, totally fine.
And then finally I have a lav mic from Rode.
So I have three Rode mics.
And it's in here, like such.
And what I love about this is you can hide it,
you can be discreet,
and I actually plug it into my old iPhone 5s.
So when I got an upgrade I kept my phone,
and I was like, "You know what?
I'm using this as a recording device."
So, that just kind of –
It's a cable. Just put it into your back pocket.
You can hide this.
This has a clip that you can clip onto this.
I don't like the way it looks on my clothing.
So I just use some tape, hide it,
and this is the sound from the lav mic.
Which of the three ones would I recommend?
It depends what you need it for.
If you are interviewing people –
I don't know man,
I just didn't like that static interference,
but I should do more tests with it.
This one, the app doesn't work,
so again these are for – this is for an iPhone.
If you're interviewing people,
like when I was in New York hosting for UNICEF
I saw a lot of reporters interviewing people
they were using their iPhones for everything.
If you have the money and want a sweet setup get this.
If you want something that has less buttons,
is less confusing looking, less complicated get a lav.
I will put links in the description box below.
If you have experience recording an H5N Zoom mic,
you can get the H4N, but look at the two.
Like come on? Night and day!
One looks like, like so no. This one is cuter
and it looks like – I don't know, I like it.
I like the aesthetic of that one,
and the new rubber just –
Getting my life H5N Zoom mic.
I gotta get used to saying H5N, H5N.
But the Rode mics are really good.
All of these products are awesome, amazing.
