This is an unboxing and live use of the APC UPS BE650G1 battery backup for computers, PCs, iMacs, Macs, and just about any other electronics that you want to be protected. A battery backup will keep your computer or electronics going even when the power goes out so you can shut them down safely. Aaron talks about the bonus feature of a replaceable battery and does a LIVE test of unplugging the wall power to show that the unit does in fact work.
The Sony RX100 VA is one of the best portable pocket cameras on the market. It’s great for Vlogging and adventure filming, too. Aaron took it on his expedition to Antarctica and filmed his entire documentary for 3 months with this camera. The camera shoots in 1080p and does amazingly well for a small camera. The flip screen is a nice addition. Aaron has filmed several shows with it and used the camera on multiple continents and countries with this camera. People rave about it. Aaron does an unboxing and talks about the overview of the camera in this video and why he chose it over the RX100 VI for his purposes.
Aaron also talks about his tricks of how he uses 2-device recording to get GREAT AUDIO while using the RX100.

Aaron reviews the Zoom H5 recorder and demonstrates its fundamental abilities. This is a great field recorder. It has nearly everything an audio engineer would like in a tiny inexpensive package. If you are getting into audio recording but don’t want to spend a huge amount of money, try this field recorder and see what it can do for you. This video has recordings from the Zoom H5, Sennheiser e935 dynamic microphone, and Audio-Technica 875R shotgun microphones.
There is a new waterproof camcorder on the market. It’s the Canon Vixia HF W11. It claims to be 16ft/5m depth capable, waterproof, able to handle drops from up to 4.9 feet, can handle saltwater, and it has a built-in LED illuminator. Aaron has been looking for an adventure camcorder that goes way beyond the GoPro 5/6/7. The Canon W11 may be the GoPro killer.
