A slightly different episode of Tech Therapy this week. I’ve been doing some cleaning and came across the first ever Full HD camera I ever bought. It also happened to look like the ideal Vlogging camera. Despite being more than ten years old, the specs suggest it could do a decent job even today. So I tested it out… Sanyo…
Leave a CommentIf you’re a Vlogger then you probably want a Camera Cage and a Tripod / Monopod with Ball Head. Unfortunately, camera cages can be very expensive and are specific to particular models of camera. And ball heads are annoying because they’re flimsy and difficult to set up correctly. Luckily, there are alternatives. This week I look at the Ulanzi PT-3…
Leave a CommentIt’s been a couple of weeks… and I’m back to talk about USB cables. I’ve bought three quirky and different kinds of charging cable from Amazon. It’s much more interesting than you might think. And even if it isn’t, at least it’ll be a short video! 🙂 For this week’s episode of Tech Tuesdays, I check out a multi-output USB…
Leave a CommentFor a while now, I’ve been fascinated by the idea of owning a rugged and waterproof solar power bank. As someone who travels often, it seems like the perfect companion to keep my smartphone and action cameras topped up with full battery power while I’m out and about.

Leave a CommentI’ve received two items in the post this week – both of them related to Vlogging. The first is a small waterproof, rugged Vlogging light by Ulanzi called the L1. It’s a big upgrade from my existing LED light, which isn’t very sturdy. My second purchase was a Vlogging cage for my GoPro Hero5 Session. Produced by Soonsun, this Vlogging…
Leave a CommentFor this week’s Tech Tuesday episode, I’ve received two items in the post. The first is a small folding tripod by *German* accessory manufacturer Hama – and I’m a fan of their full-size tripods already. It’s the ideal product for my Vlogging needs and will sit in my camera bag from now on. My second purchase was a 3-axis spirit…
Leave a CommentHaving recently purchased a Mirrorless camera and built a dedicated Vlogging rig, I’ve decided to upgrade from my small Lowepro camera bag to a larger AmazonBasics camera bag. It only cost me £18 ($23 USD) – very cheap! Yet, it’s very well built, splashproof and quite rugged, with a variety of storage pockets inside. In theory it could easily hold…

Leave a CommentThe 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? I’m Jay Shareef.Welcome to…
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…
