Allison and Ben review the Valentine’s Day themed Bokksu box from last month (we were a little late, sorry).
This box featured heavy chocolate themes and no mochi!
Skytop in Winter (Poconos 2022)
We decided to spend President’s Day weekend at Skytop Lodge up in the Pocono Mountains. We opted to rent a house on the property so we can hang out with friends.
Like last time, we did some axe throwing and we also signed up for snow tubing.
This was our first time at Skytop in the winter season and the resort had a ton of activities for adults and children alike.
PGYTech OneGo 10L vs. Peak Design 10L Sling
I recently purchased a PGYTech OneGo 10L shoulder bag with the hopes of being able to fit a Mavic Air 2 drone, the controller, batteries, a Sony A7C (with lens) and one additional lens in one small bag.
I also compare this bag to the Peak Design 10L Sling (v1). Since they are both 10L, they fit pretty much the same amount of gear. The hope was the OneGo 10L’s vertical design would give it an advantage.
Watch the video to find out if I was successful.
Tamron 17-28 vs. Sony 16-35 (F4)
I purchased the Tamron 17-28MM F2.8 wide angle lens on Black Friday 2021. I have been using the lens for the last 3 months to get a feel for it.
In October 2020, I purchased the Sony 16-35MM F4 lens (on ebay for $700) and have used this lens for most of my YouTube videos for the last 18 months.
This video discusses the differences and benefits of each lens and I share my thoughts on what is the better buy in 2022.
Note: The Sony 16-35MM currently retails for $1348 new.
Sony ECM-W2BT Microphone Review
I recently purchased the Sony ECM-W2BT wireless microphone system to increase the flexibility of my travel kit.
After noticing a hissing sound in other Sony “hot shoe” microphones, I tested this system to find the best combination of options.
Due to these tests, this video went long – here are links to the other microphones I reference in this review:
Bokksu Box Review: Kanto New Year
A new year and a new Bokksu Box. The January 2022 Bokksu Box (Kanto New Year theme) was sesame and chocolate heavy with a dash of Strawberry.
Allison and Ben made their way through this box and Ben continued his trend of preferring savory over sweet.
