The recent UK heatwave meant I had my windows open continuously – letting all manner of bugs, insects and spiders sneak into the house. As a semi-devout vegan, I can’t bring myself to squish them. So, instead I ordered an Insect Vacuum (Bug Catcher). Order one here… Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/33usdpj Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2H1Vb8E TRANSCRIPT 0:00:04.319,0:00:10.400Whatup nerds?

Leave a CommentI’m introducing a new strand to my YouTube channel. I’m constantly buying new gadgets and technology all the time – most of it minor items that don’t warrant a full review. So I’m going to regularly do a quick overview of whatever has been delivered to me over the last seven days. TECH THERAPY – EPISODE 1. I reviewed a…
Leave a CommentI’ve done a couple tech reviews looking at three-axis gimbals in the last month. While they always provided silky-smooth video footage, that came at a cost. They’re heavy and make your arms ache if you use them for longer than a few minutes at a time. However, there is an alternative… maybe. And it’s called “Rocksteady” by DJI. It’s the…
Leave a CommentI’ve travelled to almost fifty different countries (click here to see where I’ve been). I used to take lots of photos and blog about my experiences. What I should have been doing is making videos! Now that we’re slowly easing out of the pandemic lockdown, I’ve decided to start making travel Vlogs. However, to do that properly, you will need…
Leave a CommentI’ve never owned a REAL camera before. My smartphone and action cameras take good photos and videos. So why would I need one? But… then I saw a crazy bargain online — Canon M6 + lens for £300 ($400). I couldn’t resist, and now I own a Mirrorless Camera. How does it compare to the photos and videos coming out…
Leave a CommentEid Mubarak!! On this day, when a billion Muslims celebrate by violently slaughtering tens of millions of animals, I wanted to tell you about my “journey” as a Muslim vegan. And why, despite being vegan myself, I really can’t stand a lot of other vegans. In particular, “Ethical Vegan” activists, who have turned their lifestyle choice into a religion –…
Leave a CommentIt’s been a few years since I purchased a proper tripod, and my new “studio” is a much smaller space than I’m used to working in. I desperately needed the versatility of a mini (tabletop) tripod, but every product available seemed too flimsy and unstable for heavy cameras. Luckily, I came across the OCTOPAD by Octopus Camera. It’s a rugged,…
Leave a CommentI’ve never dyed my hair before – I’ve just never been brave enough. And, to tell you the truth, I’m still not brave enough. But a fellow comedian offered to do it for me, and luckily she’s a trained professional so I knew I was in good hands. Unfortunately, ever since childhood, I’ve been absolutely terrified of hairdressers and barbers.…
Leave a CommentI wanted to get a splash-proof 3-axis gimbal stabilizer for my heavy smartphones, so I could use it in the rain. I bought a FeiyuTech SPG2, which seemed to be perfect for my needs. It also promised to provide better stability than my GoPro. I chose it over the FeiyuTech G6 Plus, which seemed a bit too big and expensive.…
Leave a CommentMy last video was much more popular than expected, but there were some very valid complaints about the shaky video. So I decided to finally bite the bullet and buy my first ever 3-axis gimbal. Gimbals are basically selfie-sticks with some motors on the end that make sure your camera and/or smartphone will only move smoothly by correcting for shakes…
