SemiPro Tech+Gear
United States
Приєднався 26 лют 2023
Almost professional gear & tech reviews, tips and more.
What does semi-professional mean? I don't have formal training or education in film, engineering (audio or otherwise), computer science, etc. I review products and software that I've used or currently use from the point of view of someone who loves to "nerd out" on tech/gear but I'm also not a professional in these fields.
My experience:
+ Content Creator - I've run the @PODinsights channel since 2021 and do all the filming, audio, and editing/post production myself. Feel free to check it out if you want to learn about selling print on demand products on Etsy 😃.
+ WFH Professional - I've had a WFH job since 2019 and use various tech+gear in that space.
+ Gear Nerd - I LOVE audio gear, video gear, pretty much any tech gear. I could talk about it all day and will if you let me.

IQUNIX Magi65 Pro - Premium Low Profile
The IQUNIX Magi65 is available in regular and Pro versions and has a premium aluminum build, great connectivity and battery life, and a typing feel and sound that's like a more flexible Lofree Flow. The Pro version has a few quirks with the extra module, but overall this is a fantastic low profile keyboard if you like a more flexible feel.

The NuPhy Halo65 HE is their third hall effect keyboard and it's my favorite so far. It's got a usable layout for daily typing and gaming, and the typing feel is just a tad more comfortable than the Field75 HE. If you want extra buttons & dials, the Field75 HE is still a better option, but the Halo65 HE is the best value in the line in terms of performance for the price. *CHECK OUT THE HALO65 H...

The Lemokey L4 is the second TKL layout in the "L" line from Lemokey, Keychron's gaming brand. It has excellent build quality and great customization options, but it does not have the unique gaming features found on the L1 or L3, which means it doesn't stand out from other TKL's on the market like Keychron's own Q3 Max or the excellent Evo80. *CHECK OUT THE L4* (affiliate links) ⭐️ Lemokey Site...

Noise Gate vs Noise Reduction - Which is Better?
Nice informative video but please, it's foam and not foams...
Forcing users to Remove a keycap to simply turn it off is the STUPIDEST design decision. INSTANT NO BUY
This seems pretty cool. I like that it has things that make it unique.
The tip about using a Bluetooth mouse blew my mind, never knew about it.
I have the Crush80 and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! Best keyboard I've owned, including ones I've built and modded myself. Stock is amazing. Stabs are so solid, nice and thocky, buttery smooth. I'd still love an Evo80 to add to the collection, though ~
Can VIA change the function of the X pad media keys? Or are they on lock down?
Yes and also the nob
Oh no. You’ve already cost me a lot of money in Keychron boards, and now you do this.
the prebuilt m1v5 via rapid is my daily driver. has all the features i need, via, modability, KNOB, and i love the pop of the piano pros.
Great review, they said they are developing a 75 version and it sounds like that could fly off the shelves. Just picked up a lofree lite and the typing feel is insane.
Really glad to hear that iQunix will potentially offer a 75% layout competitor against Flow / Flow Lite. I *really* disliked how Lofree ran their Flow Lite campaign (or that it was even a crowdfund in the first place) so I'll be skipping all of their keyboards for the foreseeable future.
Good to know, thanks!
Nice, I'm waiting on that one for sure
Do I go with the sennheiser profile or the schure mv7 plus?
Wait so is the E6 or the E7 newer? On the flexispot website there is no E6.
They do this thing where some models are exclusive to amazon or their site. The E6 I believe came out after the E7 but it’s only available on amazon (at least in the US market).
I need to agree with most of your indications. Thorough speculation.
i have the neo ergo and i am now a fan of the alice layout.
have my VideoMic NTG for 2+ years now and will now use it at home recording for voiceover only. Using DJI Mic 2 on my a7IV for recording now.
still sounds muffled 🤧
Thank you for the hot topic, I have problem with Blackmagic App Audio+Video recording, I`ve connected Audio Interface Audient id44 with Usb-C connector to Iphone 16 Pro Max, Blackmagic App recording getting dark when recording button is touched, as result I`ve jumping picture with Audio in SloMo, something is wrong with Audio interface+Iphone connection, is it not enough power? or somthing else? Thanx for help. (I`m recording 6 Mics, attached to ASP880 preamp through D-Sub25 TSR 6 Jacks to Audientid44 via Usb-C to Iphone Blackmagic App.
If only the Lofree had better wireless connection than basic Blueooth (like seriously, $159 keyboard but we can't get 2.4 ghz for it?), I would buy it instantly. Looks good, built well and sounds lovely. Also, Lofree, make it so we can choose the switches for the specific colored keyboard. I don't know why we can only get Tactile switches if we buy the black keyboard. Making us pay for different switches separately is stupid.
would it be better to record separate audio onto laptop using the Rhode recorder and processing with Go II when doing talking head, rather than directing into camera?
membrane? not scissors switches??
Typing sounds TERRIBLE!
Is there any nuphy keyboards with ISO layout?
Chopped Chin
shure is best
You are a GENIUS! How didn't I think of this trick. I couldn't use USB-C because I shoot hundreds of small clips that would require unimaginable amounts of work to sync in post. Not mentioning the fact that I could (and definitely would) forget to press record on both my camera and my phone. The monitoring trick on the phone was the perfect move! Now I can set it up on my phone and use the normal 3.5mm jack to record my clips. You are amazing!
Oh the only thing to be aware of is that all the sound coming out of your phone will be in the video, so make sure you disable all notifications. It would be a shame to ruin a video just because someone texted you at the wrong moment.
my light doesnt blink just solid blue the version i have is 04.04.0611 so I know its not the new one
This looks like the worst arrow key layout of all... It would be great if they could make a version with full-sized arrow keys, just like the K3 Max.
I have this keyboard and do not have this volume ghosting bug
Good to know! Glad yours doesn't have that issue.
I would really love to try the Cowberry, but the Spacebar could sound a bit deeper imho.
Ok this made my decision easy. I’m getting this Synco. Being that far with no static or interruption is amazing. Returning the cheap ass one I bought today that barely has any range
I have a halo 96 v2 with raspberry switches. Is there a way I decrease the sensitivity of when the keys register? I rest my hands barely on keys sometimes and find myself miss typing constantly.
my PC will not recognize my device....how do i fix this?!!!
ig electric tape can prevent spill on the edges
brand of usb-c used to charge iphone and brand of female usb-c attached to iphone charging usb-c
As a German the Keychron is actually the only variable option....
Thanks man, very useful review
Thanks for the video. How would you say it stacks up against the Nuphy Gem80?
mv7 sounds smoother, no harsh esses....👍
You failed to talk about the plate options and your sound test doesnt specify which plate you used. It will change the sound profile quite alot. This is a loud kb.
At 2:30 I explained the plate options. My test model had the Azure switches as mentioned on the screen during the sound test and that switch option comes with the FR4 plate by default. At 11:15 I further commented on how the plate choice is determined by the switch option.
A plus of the mic 2 is that you can monitor audio from the receiver, for example, if you're using the Lumix S9 it's very useful.
Thankyou for displaying the weight.
Your monitor is a dell 27" right? Not sure with the angle of the video but the dual monitor set up almost occupied the whole table. Planning to do the same but it kinda small right?
With the desk top size they sent me (48") yes that's a bit cramped for a dual 27" monitor setup. I changed the top on my E7 to a 60" size that I bought myself and it's a much more comfortable size for the monitors.
Thank you for the insight. Will consider changing mine too. Any recommendations for the table top?
Both sound the same. Mics these days are so good, you have be a nerd for numbers to compare them. Most people listening on their phone or PC won't hear the difference.
Most well made keyboard reviews on youtube IMHO, subbed.
Thank you!
Leaning towards the crush 80, since there's no shipping with amazon prime.
This is actually the best keyboard that money can buy for $100
If they can make a low-profile keyboard gasket-mounted, no high-profile keyboard has any reason not to have it
If I can pair both mics via bluetooth directly with the Pocket 3, why do I need the receiver?
I'm not interested in picking up an ANSI keyboard no. ANSI is worse and ISO is used all over the world. I don't give a damn about a company advertising to me in the UK with no ISO UK version.
Really kind of a pricelessly detailed video. I'm pretty sure this is the best value microphone in the world, and everyone is sleeping on it.
I think that the poor quality of the recording through the 3.5 jack caused by the poor DAC of the camera, it is not the problem of the micro itself. It's a matter or device which turns analogue signal to digital, so if you connect micro to proper audio interface via 3.5 jack, you will get the same high-quality audio as per the embedded DAC. But this is useful tip anyway
