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.
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.
In this video, Aaron covers:

Aaron has many audio recorders but relies on his Sony ICD-UX560 for his remote and stealth filming. It’s incredibly small, so it’s easy to tuck in a pocket while speaking into a lavaliere microphone. The mics on the Sony are pretty good, too. Check out the review to see what it can do.
You can use this as a secondary recorder for your video or photography. Often the audio on a DSLR or mirrorless camera isn’t that good. Aaron uses this recorder for good, clean audio that he can synchronize in his video editing software.
