Musician's Friend is calling April "Mic Month". I did not get this budget mic from that website, but I'll play along with Mic Month! In this video I compare the sub-$20 Neewer NW-700 to the more expensive Oktava MK-219, and I try out the mini-plug cable hooked up to a Lumix FZ300 camera. The Neewer is available from Amazon through the following affiliate link. https://amzn.to/3jd0bHj Through this link, ThriftyAV receives a small commission at no additional cost to the buyer. From Amazon Description The professional condenser microphone adopts the completely new audio circuit. Capture rich, full-bodied sound from sources that are directly in front of the mic. The cardioid pick-up pattern minimizes background noise and isolates the main sound source. The metal shock mount features an angle adjustment with locking knob and can effectively reduce handling noise. The ball-type anti-wind foam cap can protect microphone against wind interference and singers' spit. The set can be used for karaoke, in sound reinforcement or recording, to pick up voice or instruments, indoors or outdoors. 00:00 Intro/Open 00:23 Shopping Mics 01:10 Why Condenser? 02:40 Unboxing 03:54 Oktava MK-219 04:27 Neewer NW-700 05:33 Cardiod Test 06:11 Mini Plug Cable 06:59 Conclusion 09:04 Close Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXk859y-iwYfMpHqX1TcRiw/join ThriftyAV is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. #NEEWER #Condenser #Microphone

The SpaceX low latency satellite internet service called Starlink looks very promising for folks who don't otherwise have fast internet, so I signed up for the service. I received the more modern rectangular dish, but discovered an important feature MISSING, an Ethernet port. I also found that I could not properly mount it to my roof with the hardware provided. So I ended up having to spend an extra $60 plus tax to get my Starlink going, and the items won't ship for two weeks. Meanwhile I'm paying for service I'm not using. 00:00 Intro / Open 01:18 Unboxing 02:45 Ethernet Issue 03:50 Auto-adjustment 04:20 Mounting Issue Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXk859y-iwYfMpHqX1TcRiw/join

In this video, I misbranded this microscope. It is actually a Dcorn 7" HDMI LCD Microscope available HERE: https://amzn.to/3BbXii8 Through this link, ThriftyAV receives a small commission at no additional cost to the buyer. Observe Entire Coins: Unlike conventional microscopes on the market, Dcorn coin microscope for adults can be used to observe the entire coin. Thanks to our increase in the height of the stand, so that more of the coin can enter the field of view. In addition, the sturdy and moderately weighted metal bracket and base can minimize shaking and increase durability. You will view objects more stably and accurately. This is definitely the best gift for coin collectors. HDMI/USB Output for Bigger View: Dcorn HDIMI microscope supports any TV or monitor with HDMI port, allowing you to get a larger observation field for sharing and discussion. And you can connect it to the PC via a USB cable, and then just run the "camera" in Win10 or the "photo booth" in iMac/MacBook to instantly pair it. In addition, it is feasible to realize HDMI and USB output at the same time. Connecting to two devices will achieve the effect of more people watching. 7-inch HD LCD Display: Dcron digital microscope uses a 7-inch 1080P high-definition imaging LCD screen, which provides a larger and clearer viewing angle for easy and accurate observation and welding. The screen adopts a rotatable (90 degree) design, which is more convenient for users to watch from different angles and eliminate eye and neck fatigue. 10-1200X Magnification: With a built-in 16MP high-definition camera, you will zoom in and observe incredible details in the magnification range of 10X -1200X. At the same time, you can record 1920*1080 30fps, 1280*720 60fps video and capture up to 16MP (5376*3024) photos, and the files will be saved to the included 32GB TF card. 2 Side Lights Designs & Touch Control: The light adjustment of Dcorn soldering microscope adopts a touch control design, which is more intelligent and convenient. In addition to the built-in 8 adjustable LED lights, this USB microscope is also equipped with 2 adjustable side lights, which will provide you with more sufficient light, allowing you to observe all the clearest details of objects in various environments. Convenient Remote Control: The infrared remote control has the functions of taking photos, videos, zooming in, zooming out, etc. You can easily control the USB microscope without pressing the video microscope button, which perfectly avoids screen shaking. Whether in the process of observation or recording, you can always get a clear and stable picture. Widely Used: Dcorn LCD microscope is suitable for circuit board inspection, watch repair, children's science education, biology observation (not suitable for observing cells), coin, jewelry and stamp observation, etc. And its appearance design combines more ergonomic considerations, which will bring you a better experience. Not only that, this microscope is user-friendly and is the best gift for kids, students, teachers and amateurs. 00:00 Intro / Open 01:07 Unboxing 02:18 Assembly 03:28 Zoom & Focus 03:54 Lights 04:21 $20 Bill 04:44 Menu Options 05:37 Recording Vid 06:37 Depth of Focus 07:05 PC Hookup 08:10 Other Pics 09:22 Other Features 10:32 Conclusion Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXk8...

In this video I check out 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars sold at Harbor Freight Tools. These are branded "Rugged Gear" on the outer box, but have the brand Gordon on an inner label and on the binoculars. I paid $17.99, but with a coupon you might find them as low as $16.99.
