RØDE Vlogger Kit USB-C Edition Full Review

A huge part of making content for a YouTube channel or really most social media platforms is being able to record videos in good quality and not just the actual video but also the audio. The RØDE USB-C Vlogger Kit is an all in one fairly affordable solution that comes with all the tools you need to produce high quality videos no matter what the environment challenges you with.

You get RODE's most popular accessories to help you get the best out of your Smart Phone and in this case my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra uses a USB-C interface and so I went with the RØDE Vlogger Kit USB-C Edition of this kit but you can get it in iPhone compatible version and also Universal version that simply use a mini jack for Smart Phones that support analog inputs.

My RØDE USB-C Vlogger Kit came with the following accessories:

  • Three-position tripod for hand-held or static use
  • Gimbal tripod head for accurate camera positioning
  • All-metal mount with rubberised grips for phone 65mm to 85mm wide
  • VideoMic Me-C directional sound pickup to reduce background noise
  • WS9 Deluxe Windshield (DeadCat)
  • MicroLED light offers over four hours operation on a single charge
  • Clip-on diffuser with eight coloured filters

In this video I unbox the RØDE USB-C Vlogger Kit, show you everything that comes inside the box and then test out how it works in a number of shooting environments using my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra so you can decide if the RØDE USB-C Vlogger Kit really improves the video and sound rather than simply using the built in microphone and natural lighting.

When is the Best Time of the Day to Eat for Health and Weight Control?

Here are some of the talking points I go over in this Video about the Best Time of the Day to Eat for Health and Weight Control!

  1. Most people will tell you you should eat a good breakfast, lunch and dinner and then not eat after dinner. Is this the best way for everyone to plan their meals for health and weight control?
  2. What about intermittent fasting? Tons of people and even doctors swear by it. When you intermittent fast you skip breakfast and sometimes even lunch with a shortened eating window which usually means you can not eat after a certain time in the evening too.
  3. What about eating multiple small meals throughout the day as often as 6 times? The theory behind this is often claimed to increase your metabolism for a longer more sustained period of time.

Some Basic Rules I suggest to Follow:

  • Eat when you are hungry. Don’t wait till you are starving. Don’t eat because you are bored or stressed, try to be aware of dangerous eating habits versus healthy eating habits.
  • Figure out what time of the day you are naturally the most hungry and plan your main meals around those times.
  • Shorten your eating window as much as you comfortably can without putting yourself in an eating frenzy state.
  • Plan your meals out, you don’t have to meal prep, just have a good idea when you plan to eat and what you plan to eat so you have a game plan to follow and there are less surprises.
  • Find good food options you enjoy that you have available to you at all times and plan these foods into each day, eventually you will develop a habit of eating certain healthy foods at certain times and your body will learn to expect this rather than fight you all day long with food cravings.

Fat Distribution As We Age

As we get a bit older our bodies don't always cooperate with us and one area this is common for most is where we start to store our body fat. When we are younger we generally store fat more evenly throughout our bodies but as we get older it seems to get more targeted towards our mid sections but this is not one size fits all as every body is deferent.

In this video I talk about how aging effects body fat and how this is not always bad and how to make the best of it and have more realistic expectations about our body image and life balance.

Remove Grey From Your Beard with a Natural Look

This is not a fitness video but it may help you look a bit younger or more attractive which is one reason why we try and stay in shape especially as we get a bit older. Beards have become very trendy and men both young and old are deciding to grow a beard to enhance their look. For younger men it can make them look more distinguished and for older men it can even make them look a bit younger as long as it's not too grey perhaps.

You can hide a lot with a beard, maybe a weak chin or not so angular jawline or even some jowls starting to show up as we age. I kind of feel like a beard is the great equalizer of men and if you can pull one off it may enhance your look!

For older men or even younger men starting to notice grey in their beard, their are some great options to either get all that grey out or just a little depending on how much you have and how much you want to remove. For me my beard is getting pretty grey now, I would say more grey than brown and when I grow it I feel it makes me look older in some ways so I wanted to get a good portion of the grey out but still keep it as natural looking as possible,

In this video I show you the products I am using to first reduce the amount of grey over time and then to cover any remaining grey for outings that I want to have a darker and perhaps younger looking beard.

These products are the following I showcase in this video:

RAD 140 SARM For Prostate Cancer

This video is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended to be any sort of medical advice. I am not a doctor and know nothing about medicine. My only intention in making this video is to present a question for discussion in order to seek answers regarding the possibility of the SARM RAD 140 and its potential usefulness in helping men with prostate cancer that are in a treatment that reduces the Testosterone in their bodies.

Testosterone is vital for normal muscle and brain function but can also aggravate prostate cancers. My question is can a SARM like RAD 140 that simulates Testosterone in the body but is also known to not negatively effect the prostate, could RAD 140 be a substitute for Testosterone allowing for proper hormone function without the negative effects on the prostate?
