For many months, I have been using my iPhone as an alarm, relying on its vibration, or haptic feedback, to wake me up as a Deaf person. Not only did I have my phone to vibrate, but I also always had my phone’s sound on the highest setting possible. Using a phone as an alarm clock is acceptable. I am sure many people now rely on their phones for this purpose, rather than having a traditional alarm clock. However, these devices aren’t always effective for heavy sleepers. Speaking of heavy sleepers, I am one of them, combined with being Deaf, so there were the times that it failed to wake me up, and I always had the phone laid beside me on the bed, especially that the phone was either on my arm or my shoulder because as I said I am Deaf so to wake me up is feeling the vibration from my phone. Those times when it failed to wake me up were building my frustration up because I am not a fan of sleeping in for more than four hours. For many years, my bones have, for some reason, not been able to tolerate sleeping or lying down for too long. Ironically, it is said that as you get older, you want to sleep longer, but for…
Before I start doing a review on the product, which is the Fifine X3 Over-Ear Wireless Headphone, I would like to thank Fifine for reaching out to me about sending one of their products, which in this case is their Fifine X3 Over-Ear Wireless black headphone for me/JoshiesWorld to do a review on it for them. Before I decide to do a review on them, I make sure that they understand and agree that any products I have received from them or any other company would have an honest review on them without any influence from them. Yes, in other words, if I find anything wrong with their products, I will point them out, and if any of the products that a company sends over for a review aren’t good, then I will say so. They can do nothing about it, which means my principle when reviewing products is that they have to be honest reviews as they are. Fifine understood that and agreed that it is important that their products be reviewed honestly. So, by agreeing with that, they say how much they care about their products and what anyone has to say about them so that they can listen to what their customers would want from them with their products. After receiving the Fifine X3 Over-Ear Wireless headphones,…
Ever since I decided to relaunch my photography after learning many of these years, I realize that my expensive camera bag Tamrac 610 Pro System 10, was old and worn out. Not only that, it does not do what I needed it to do, which is to have spacious compartments for DSLR/mirrorless camera bodies, it does not have enough to hold a lot of lenses, and since it does not have enough room for all of the lenses that I need there wouldn’t be any room for other accessories or gears such as Speedlite or studio light system. I brought the camera bag back in the year 2013 when I was just a beginner photographer, after a few years later since I have been learning and finally know what I need, such as how many lenses, speedlites or lighting systems, what accessories I need and others which that old camera bag would not even carry half of that, so it was time for something else. I need a new camera bag, so I do some searching; the number one priority when selecting which camera bag I want is that it must be spacious enough that it can carry several lenses, along with a couple of Speedlight or lighting systems, filters, tripod, a few props, and others. Hence, the bottom line…
Ever since I got a new camera for my professional photography, a few things on the list are a must-have for every photographer, and one of them is extra batteries. Having extra batteries means that we have to get chargers for them as well because batteries for camera are often sold separately without the actual charger, as there are a few options that we could go for, such as getting the OEM charger or go for a third-party charger that can charge more than one battery, so that was the routine I took. If I were to go for every OEM battery charger for each battery, I would need several outlets for them. A twin (double) battery charger has a better advantage because it can charge two or more batteries using only one outlet and is less cluttered this way. I will be happier if the same manufacturer of the camera’s battery says Nikon has their own charging station for any batteries they have for all of their batteries. Still, they do not have a single charger for one battery, so one charger for each one battery, and knowing us photographers who need a good number of batteries, we probably have several power strips to charge all of the batteries for our camera(s). The problem with that is, it is…
I was in the market for a professional camera. I was shopping for a DSLR camera because it was beyond the time for me to upgrade, especially Nikon 5200. I was eyeing an expensive one but still affordable. First, I observed Nikon’s D850, a professional DSLR camera; as it was nearing Christmas, my mother decided to get me a camera for a present, and I was pretty much mindset on D850. After a while, I decided to do further research. I discovered that Nikon has something significantly better camera than D850, but it is a professional mirrorless instead of a DSLR camera. I found out that this camera is one of the top 10 lists of every reviewer when it comes to a camera overall (compact, action, DSLR, mirrorless, etc.). I decided to get that one instead of the D850 because it has better specifications than the D850 has. That is Nikon’s new Z 7ii; Nikon Z 7ii just came out not too long ago, which has a whopping 46MP, with more FPS and higher resolution for a video than D850 has. After finding out that Nikon Z 7ii offers more than what their D850 does and I decided that it will be the camera, I own so now I do. Nikon Z 7ii has more features and better performance…
Thanks to my mother, I got GoPro Hero 9 Media Mod as a present for Christmas as I brought GoPro Hero 9 a few months ago when they released GoPro Hero 9. I was considering buying the media mod to go with it, but they were out of stock at that time, and I decided to wait until they are back in stock again, or I could finally find them somewhere on the internet. After a month, I forgot to look again to see if it was in stock or still out of stock; then, a couple of weeks before Christmas, I remembered, so I went to check and see if they have GoPro Hero 9 Media Mod in stock which they finally were. I was determined to purchase a media mod for my GoPro Hero 9, but before I did, I was having a conversation with my mother about needing a media mod and a light mod for my GoPro Hero 9 to turn it into a small production set-up to use. My mother told me not to buy it and that she wanted to get it for me for Christmas, but I hesitated a bit because I never felt right to let her get anything but went for it because she was stubborn. So, on Christmas day (a…
