All Things Joey
Having a blog means having an opinion. This category groups reviews of technology, concerts, books, food – essentially all things consumable.
This month’s Bokksu is “Kansai Autumn” themed. Ben and Allison ripped through the snacks and offered their opinions. It was another matcha heavy box which yielded mixed results.
Note: Kansai is a region in the south of Honshu, Japan’s main island. In its center is the city of Kyoto, Japan’s capital from 794 to 1869.
I recently upgraded from the Fitbit Versa (v1) to the Fitbit Sense.
I have had issues with several Fitbit models in the past but this watch does an excellent job at addressing most of those pain points.
The majority of my issues were with the physical watch, straps, and chargers and the Sense updates all of that.
My friend recently gifted me this Sony ECM-XYST1M camera microphone. The benefit to using a mic like this is that you don’t have to use a 3.5MM cable which enables a cleaner camera set up.
Check out the video to see my thoughts and hear a comparison against the Deity D4 Duo.
We have been subscribing to snack box service Bokksu for a few years and my son recently started taking Japanese lessons so I thought it would be a fun idea for him to do a review video.
The September box had a Mid Autumn festival theme and featured more chocolate and mochi based treats than usual (much to Ben’s chagrin).
I recently purchased the DJI Mavic Air 2 with the smart controller. In this video, I discuss why I upgraded from the original Mavic Mini and why the smart controller was a game changer for me.
Note: I called the Mavic Air 2 the MAVRICK Air 2 throughout the video… I keep doing it, I can’t stop, I am sorry (lol).
I recently purchased a Sony 35mm F1.8 lens (SEL35F18F) and paired it with my A7C to make this review.
The low light performance is very good, but at the end of the video I was overly optimistic about the low light performance (I literally shut all of the lights off), as expected the ISO ramped up and caused some grain.
It still looked sharp and clear with very minimal lighting and I am looking forward to playing around with background lighting when I use it again.
