Technical Audio Gear Gift Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct7fIQ_hWeI
Didn't want to regurgitate the same video I made 2 years ago so this is stuff that isn't technical. Hopefully it helps you find the right gift for that audio person in your life.
Paid promo marked because Rode sent me the Adapter thing a few years ago. They did not make me make this video, I just included it because I think it's a neat tool.

Today I review the Beachtek DXA-Micro Pro, a mic preamp that helps improve your camera's audio quality. Will it outperform a high quality portable recorder? No. But what it will do is will massively improve your camera's built in mic preamps, and speed up your editing process by removing your need to sync audio & video in post.
