ALEX: 3, 2, 1...
Thank you.
ALEX: 3, 2, 1...
Hello and welcome to the show!
My name is Alex and this is TechFlow!
Check this out. Look, ready? Camera change in 3, 2, 1...
Boom!
ALEX: Check this out!
Can you do that?
Can you do that in the editor?
Ready? Boom!
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Did you see that? That was sick!
JED: I hate you.
ALEX: So, as you can see, we've got a lot of kit here on the table.
Now, what I'm going to be doing is doing a "What's in my tech bag video?"
But, you know, there's a major problem when all of the tech YouTubers do these, right.
What they do is they show you this amazing bag filled with thousands of pounds worth
of technology and it's as if, you know, they get the bag out on the table, they take everything
out nice and slowly as if that bag is just always there ready to go but in reality, it's not.
You pack your bag on different occasions with different things in it depending on what you're doing.
So, that said, I'm going to Manchester tomorrow, right, and I'm staying overnight and I'm going
to tell you guys what I'm taking to Manchester tomorrow.
Yeah, this is my tech backpack.
The bag's here - we'll talk about that later but first, let's talk about the tech.
So, first off, let's start off down here with the boring stuff - the stuff that you guys;
you already know what it is.
So this is the 15 inch MacBook Pro.
I absolutely love this thing - I've had MacBook Pros for a long time - ever since they've
been non-retina.
I've had the 13 inch which, then, I actually sold to the Jeditor over there.
And then I got myself the 15 inch and I edit, like, most of my videos and do all of my content
creation on this - absolutely love the thing.
Err, upgrading to the new one?
Probably not.
So this here is just, well, this is a USB C to USB cable, right, now, and this is to
charge the Pixel - more on that later.
This, right, this here - I'm going to do a TechFlow video on these - these are my favourite
headphones of all time.
The Bose QC35's.
Jed - back me up.
JED: I love them so much.
ALEX: Thank you, you're amazing.
ALEX: So these things actually have some microphone ports all over them.
As you can see there and it's got some somewhere else anyway.
They've got them - there look and there and there and there - they're everywhere, right!
Why has it got so many microphone ports?
Well, that's because when you turn these things on, they actually have, they actually have
noise cancelling and Bose noise cancelling, right, and take my word for this - it is the
best noise cancelling in any type of headphone you can ever buy.
Like, Bose make noise cancelling for like aviation, for like pilots in helicopters and
things like that.
So, Bose know what they're doing with their audio cancellation, noise cancellation - so,
brilliant for aeroplanes - and just the sound quality out of these is phenomenal.
Absolutely amazing!
They've even got an app which you can download as well - so if you have a few pairs of these
- say if I have a pair and my friend has a pair - you can link them together via Bluetooth
and listen to the same tracks and have, like, an amazing, amazing noise cancelled, silent
disco.
So, this right here is my mouse of choice.
And the reason that I'm taking a mouse primarily, and I'm not going to lie to you, is so I can
play League of Legends.
But this mouse is absolutely brilliant and this is a personal preference of mine, just
because it does fit my hand so well - I've got quite small, stubby hands and this mouse
is absolutely brilliant.
7000 DPI sensor as you can tell by the name - Mionix; they are 7000 - and I just absolutely
love the mouse and I always have done.
It used to be my daily driver on my desk - ever since then, I've upgraded to Corsair mice,
but this - absolutely love it - it is my daily driver for whenever I'm going anywhere else.
Moving on - Google Pixel.
So, this, yeah, it's a fairly nice Android phone.
I like it - it's fast as far as Android phones are concerned - you guys know my opinions
on this - you know what, I like it and it's a very nice phone - it feels, it feels, it's
an Android phone that feels like an iPhone, that's why I, I think that's why I like it.
Next to that, the Raybans that suit me the most - the Rayban - what are they called - Club Masters.
Even though I've definitely not mastered any clubs in my time.
Now, this thing - this thing is amazing!
To give you a comparison, I'm going to turn this on and also this.
I need a phone.
OK, because we've started this video off with a little bit of chance, we'll do this with a little bit of chance too.
Right, so this, right, now, is this.
Right, now we're going to switch over
to the Bose SoundLink Mini.
This is, you know, a very top end Bluetooth speaker and we're comparing this to a very
cheap, small speaker, right.
And the, the comparison that you should be getting from this is there isn't really that
much difference other than bass.
Ha!
Absolute steal this thing!
Absolutely love it - this is called the SoundCore nano and it's from Anker.
Talking about Anker products - my favourite cables of all time - got myself a lightning
cable for my iPhone and a micro USB cable, erm, you can't have enough of these things lying
around - the best cables that you can buy - Anker all the way!
Now, this thing - this is actually an SSD.
I do a lot of video editing myself, as you guys know, I love video and I'm always taking
video with my A7S's and A300'S, you know, high bit rate files - this is an SSD - 500
GB in this little, erm, in this little square here connected via a USB 3 cable.
Just a little portable hard drive there - 500 GB of SSD storage - it's absolutely rapid
and I wouldn't, I wouldn't not go anywhere without it because it's so small, right.
Portable batteries - we've all got one and we all use them.
These are my favourites.
We've got the Nomad 5000 mAh charger - this has got this white ring on it for an Apple watch.
I'm currently not wearing my Apple watch but, that's why I'm taking this.
And also, if I can do this - wait a minute - it has a lightning cable built in as well
so it can also charge your phone as well as well as your Apple watch - brilliant little product.
This is a 5000 mAh battery from Anker - the reason that I like this one is well, it's
about the same size as your phone, even smaller, so it can go ahead and fit in your pocket and
charge your phone one and a half times - absolutely brilliant.
And this is my big, bad boy - this is the best portable battery that you can buy - two USB
ports powered by USB C. So it charges super fast - 20,000 mAh in this, made out of metal
- you could kill somebody with it - it's a good weapon.
Best battery pack you can buy.
And I know that I've said that Anker products are the best - I'm not lying - like, I love
them to pieces and they're not even sponsored - they're not a sponsor at all - I genuinely
buy these products - and I love them, I promise.
So, this is the charger for my MacBook - this, I actually got in a Loot Crate and I think it's
really cool just to keep in the bag.
It's from "Dead Rising" and it's just a little multi-tool set.
Err, you never know when you're going to need to, err, you know it's got like a little light
on it and stuff and you never know when you need some tools for it and stuff - it has
all of your tools.
And it doesn't have any knives on it so you can't - it's not lethal.
Erm, but it's just a little multi-tool so if you ever need a screwdriver or you're ever
in a sticky situation, you've got the multi-tool in there.
So that is that and then...
ALEX: The top camera just turned off!
Has it been half an hour already?
JED: I think so.
ALEX: Has it overheated?
No.
Oh dear.
JED: Yes...
ALEX: Heeeeey!
ALEX: Right, so this is my favourite
bag of all time.
This is the Urban Street Medium by a company called Manfrotto.
Manfrotto are known for making things like tripods and camera gear so this is a bag aimed
at camera professionals and you're meant to have your camera gear in it but it's just
a very well built bag - not very cheap be warned - but, it is absolutely incredible.
It shows no signs of wear and it has these things which we're going to talk about in a second.
So, as you can see, just in here, well, if you can, there's actually two velcro strips
there and on the bottom of this we've actually got two velco strips so what I'm going to
go ahead and do is put this compartment here in to this bag like so.
And then what's, what this is going to do, what this is going to enable us to do right,
let's just pad out all of this in here, what this is going to enable us to do is give us
inside of here a velcro, sticky surface so we can get things, like these velcro pads that
the bag does come with.
Now, we're going to go out with the red ones and we're going to go ahead and make ourselves some compartments like so and every single
surface in this bag is made of velcro so you can go ahead and stick things down as you
please where you want them to go - it's absolutely brilliant - so I'm going to go ahead and put
that bit just there and it is very, very sticky and hard to do.
There you go, our first compartment installed.
Now, I'm going to go ahead and compartment out the rest of this bag.
There we go - so I've got a compartment there, a compartment there, a compartment there, a compartment, a compartment there
and a compartment there.
Let's kit this thing out!
And there, as you can see - the bag is packed.
That is it, everything's in, everything is solid so if we open this bit, and there's
one thing I forgot to show you guys - I've actually got a portable WiFi MiFi hotspot
there which is going to live in there.
As you can see, everything is in its place, everything fits in here, nothing if the bag
is shaken about is going to be damaged.
In the side here, we've got our hard drives and Apple watch charger.
On this side, we've got easy access to our Google Pixel and 5000 mAh charger, we've got
all of our cables in one compartment so all of our cables are together just underneath there.
We've got our mouse, our MacBook charger, big, big battery underneath the Bose speaker.
Down here, we've got our small Bluetooth speaker and we've also got our utility, utility knife
there which is absolutely brilliant.
In the top portion, we've got our headphones - loads more space in here to fit so much
more stuff.
Absolutely brilliant and in the back of it we've got our 15 inch MacBook.
That is my travel bag done guys!
Drop a like on the video if you've enjoyed it.
It's been a bit different I know - I hope you've liked it, this has been TechFlow and
we'll catch you in the next one.
