Samson Go Mic Review

The Samson Go Mic has pleasantly surprised me. I'll be the first to admit that I was slightly worried after ordering it seeing all the love for the blue snowball mic's that were around £10 more. I managed to stem this feeling by thinking how it needed to be portable and not a rather large snowball rolling around my desk.

So it arrived, I plugged it in and initially I wasn't that impressed, but once I plugged my headphones in to monitor the sound and worked out it's positioning, I haven't looked back, it's great, yes it may not have as richer sound as the snowball, but for my needs it's perfect. I just hope in future they produce a version thats all metal as the plastic does make it seem cheap which is a shame considering how sturdy the base is. Overall 8/10

First Look: Samson MK-10 Professional Mic Stand

Before we trudge onward into the plethora of new videos I have in store for the channel, I thought it would make sense to introduce you all to my new microphone stand: the Samson MK-10. I'd highly recommend this boom stand to anyone with a small studio or home setup. Check out the video for more!



Some of my favorite features of this microphone stand include the built in boom arm and the build quality. The strength and resistance you can feel when setting height is very comforting. You know that your microphone will be safe and sound when attached to this guy.

Comparison: Audio-Technica AT2020 USB Mic vs. Samsung MV800 Internal Mic

In this video, I compare the Audio Technica AT2020 USB Mic to the internal Mic on my Samsung MV800. It's fair to say that the Audio Technica AT2020 USB Mic is the clear winner.

Review: Joby GorillaPod

The Joby GorillaPod is certainly a great tripod if you don't mind the size. It is very sturdy, flexable and most of all, fun! This tripod isn't ment to be used for serious photography as it is very lightweight, but for taking the odd photo or video, this is a great little accessory. There are many colours available for the Joby GorillaPod, these include the following:

• White (as shown on video)
• Yellow
• Red
• Green
• Pink
• Blue 
• Orange

The advantages to this mini tripod is that you can wrap it round more or less everything with it's bendy legs. In the video shown above, I had the tripod wrapped around my monitor (Acer S243HL), lampshade and also my guitar! It is seriously amazing. I also like how cheap the GorillaPod is, on Amazon UK , you can buy this tripod for just £11.70! This is a bargain. The third thing I like about this tripod is the large variety of colours, they look great.

The disadvanteges to the Joby GorillaPod is that it is literally tiny! Also, when you bend the legs, it tends to nip your skin, which is very annoying! But other than that, I can't complain!

Over all, I give this tripod a 9 out of 10!
