The Best Tech Under
$100 - November 2015 #Helpful Post
so
we've taken a look at ICON a 25 bucks
tech
under fifty bucks but now I think
it's
time for the best tech under a
hundred
Swiss up guys Jonathan here and
first
up is the me photo travel tripod
initially
caught my attention because it
is
literally small enough where it could
fit
in most backpacks on top of that not
only
is it built extremely solid but it
looks
cool this right here is blue but
it
also comes in black green orange
purple
red gold and titanium now this is
geared
to hold up to eight point eight
pounds
so not only low it worked
perfectly
with point-and-shoot type
cameras
but it'll hold a DSLR no problem
everything
works well from the
rubberized
twist locks to the adjustable
center
column and really it's just nice
to
have something built that well but
also
compact so here I have a sony rx10
mounted
on top and this isn't the
purpose
but also kind of doubles as a
nice
form of stabilization when you are
going
handheld now it's cool as well as
they
also have an optional phone mount
accessory
this of course would put the
total
price over a hundred bucks but I
at
least want to let you know that this
was
available if you were interested in
this
tripod so following that is a pair
of
headphones from a company you may not
have
heard of and these are the great
olabs
sr60 ease now I say that because
they
aren't marketing powerhouses like
beats
by dre or even audio technica or
Sennheiser
for that matter but for the
money
these are one of the best sounding
pair
of headphones I've ever used
they're
extremely simple there's nothing
flashy
about them but I dig that because
it
gives off this really cool old-school
vibe
now sound quality is fantastic
they're
full they're warm but if there
were
one negative about these is that
they
leak sound pretty substantially so
that
means if your intent was to use
these
outside at school on a bus on an
airplane
I would not recommend them but
we're
these shine is it a nice quiet
environment
we can just kick back and
enjoy
the music not worry about sound
leak
and really because they're
relatively
inexpensive I think the price
justifies
picking one up just for that
purpose
following that is for those of
you
out there who cannot get enough USB
ports
whether it's USB thumb drives USB
hard
drives receivers you name it
the
ah2 41 from Anker gives you 14 USB
ports
now personally I think that's a
little
crazy I don't think I could fill
that
many slots if I tried but if you
got
more USB devices and you have open
slot
I'm not going to judge this may be
the
perfect solution for you there's a
total
of 13 USB ports all with LED
indication
once you plug something in
and
then lastly you have a 5 volt 2.1
amp
charger for things like your
smartphone
or your tablet now while run
the
USB 3 train this next piece of tech
is
an external USB 3 SSD which is killer
for
video editing now there are actually
three
versions of this that fit under
the
hundred dollar price point a 256
gigabyte
version that squeaks buy at
99.99
and then there is a hundred and
twenty-eight
gigabyte model for 59.99 or
a
64 gig model for $49.99 so you can see
from
the speed test this thing is super
speedy
and quick enough to where you can
edit
4k video off this without a hiccup
so
how I would recommend using this is
whatever
your current project is edit
that
off this and once you're done back
it
up and archive it on your main drive
or
possibly a slower external drive
following
that as a mouse we use on the
debut
episode of the dream desk I really
didn't
touch a whole lot on it you guys
wanted
to learn more so here you go this
is
the Microsoft arc bluetooth mouse
which
is geared to work on PC the
Microsoft
Surface but it also works
great
on Mac as well now when I
initially
picked this up at Best Buy
it
was around 65 bucks but when I
checked
the price today it was stupid
cheap
under 40 bucks
obviously
that may change but for the
most
up-to-date pricing and availability
make
sure you guys check out the links
down
below now what I love most about
this
mouse is how perfect it is for
travel
when you're using it it's got
this
nice curved ergonomic design but if
you
want to turn it off all you got to
do
is straighten it out and bam that
thing
is turned off and ready to be put
away
the fact that it's bluetooth is
nice
because you don't have to deal with
any
receivers or fill up a USB port and
more
importantly it's extremely precise
and
tracks really well so whether you're
looking
to use on your computer or
something
like a surface it is a great
mouse
for the money now before I hop out
of
here I want to give a big thanks to
audio
labs for sponsoring today's video
they
actually sent me an early look at
the
after master TV which is geared to
level
up your TV audio game so what it
does
is essentially eliminate the need
to
constantly adjust your volume during
the
show and it does this by increasing
loudness
depth and clarity without
distortion
or frequency loss and a
result
in super clear easy to hear
dialogue
now of course they have a demo
on
their Kickstarter but I wanted to
test
it for myself
I'm
just parked across the street okay I
would
just kind of hit though yeah I'm
just
parked across the street
okay
I would just kind of hit the - the
Kickstarter
is live which you guys can
check
out link below
and
speaking of tech under 100 bucks the
first
400 backers get one of these for
80
bucks there are of course all the
levels
and perks like a limited edition
model
which again is over on the
Kickstarter
page so aside from that that
wraps
up today's video hopefully you
enjoyed
it and if you want to see more
tech
under 100 make sure to go Lamarr
Wilson
unboxed an amiibo on that like
button
this
is Jonathan with TLD and I will
catch
you guys later
