There are a lot of dashcams available out there in the market in various price points and with a different set of features, but knowing what type of dashcam for your particular use case scenario is very crucial as it will also determine the budget you’ll need to shell out.

Transcend ESD220C Portable SSD Review – Small but not terrible!

Marvin Gabriel

I’ve reviewed more than a few Transcend storage devices already from an internal SSD with the SSD230S to an external one with the 25C3N HDD, I even tore some apart to check the internals of the Storejets like the 25H3. I haven’t had any issues with their storage devices and for the most part, all of my thoughts are positive regarding their products. Hopefully, that will not change with the one we have today, which is the Transcend ESD220C, a promising fast and compact external storage device. MY EARLY BREAKDOWN Pros: Decent…

Securecam X1 Wi-Fi Review + Step by Step Guide

Marvin Gabriel

  It has been a while since I’ve reviewed a security camera, the last time was the Sricam SP017, it is decent but there’s one important factor that I don’t like about it, it cannot be accessed outside of our home network without fiddling with the router settings.   What we have here today will solve that one particular downside of a home security camera, the Securecam X1 Wifi from signal-vault.com which can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection. It’s also worth noting that there’s no subscription fee for…

Marvin Gabriel

I’ve already reviewed a couple of budget RGB mechanical keyboards with the Motospeed CK104 and the Gigaware K28, and so far none of them gave me what I am looking for in an RGB keyboard, and that is the ability to match the RGB colors with my desk setup. Today, we are taking a look at the Ajazz AK33 RGB Mechanical Keyboard which boasts a 16.8m True RGB colors and a whopping 19 lighting modes.

Boya BY-M1 Lavalier Microphone Review – Finally Fixing my Audio!

Marvin Gabriel

For the longest time since I’ve started my YouTube channel, I’ve had a hard time improving the audio quality of my videos. For starters, my room is quite echoey and our air conditioning unit is very loud. My first audio setup is using a BM 800 Condenser Microphone with a USB sound card on my laptop, since the USB sound card is not enough to power the condenser microphone properly, I had to increase the input gain to the maximum just so it can pick up my voice, but in…

UGreen 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Card Reader Review

Marvin Gabriel

If you’ve been following my YouTube Channel or this blog, you may have known that I recently built my PC. The problem is, It doesn’t have a card reader and it also doesn’t have USB 3.0 ports in front of the case, which is a huge hassle. These are important to me as I frequently transfer files from my memory cards and hard drives during shoots. I tried to find the most affordable but good quality USB 3.0 Hub with a card reader and the Ugreen brand has been on…

Kingston UV500 SSD Upgrade Kit Review + How to install an SSD on an old system

Marvin Gabriel

Back at the day, getting a solid state drive as small as a 60GB drive will set you back around $100 for such a small capacity, but nowadays, you can get twice that capacity for just a fraction of the price, making it really viable to grab one regardless of the system you’re planning to run it with. With an SSD, you can easily revive an old system and use it for productivity, office works and stuff like that without needing to spend a ton of money upgrading the rest…

Rakk Anyag Frost Review – Cheapest Black and White Micro-ATX Case

Marvin Gabriel

Since I’ve started planning for my PC Build I’ve set my eyes on the Tecware Nexus M because of it’s small Micro-ATX form factor and a desirable black and white color scheme. However, by just looking into its front panel it’s pretty obvious that the airflow is somehow restricted and it being a small case certainly won’t help with the overall airflow. Luckily, I was able to find a better alternative with virtually the same specifications in the form of the Rakk Anyag Frost Micro-ATX case. Almost the same design both in…

Tronsmart LTA Double Braided Nylon Lightning Cable Review
