Ideal gear for creators and outdoor activities: Starlink Mini and DJI Mics.

In the latest episode of The Vergecast, topics such as Starlink Mini, portable microphones, and web browsers were discussed.

Technology enthusiasts are increasingly interested in working from remote locations where internet connectivity and power availability are not an issue. With the possibility of having sufficient power and high-speed Wi-Fi, many are choosing outdoor spaces instead of a traditional office. Some even venture to take their laptops and belongings in their cars, working from secluded spots, whether for a day, a year, or indefinitely.

In a recent episode of a popular podcast, one of the collaborators shared their experiences living the “vanlife” lifestyle, where they have converted a Sprinter van into a mobile space that functions as both an office and a home. This adventurer has been testing the Starlink Mini and exploring solar panel and battery options to keep their equipment running during travels. Additionally, they talked about a backpack from Peak Design that promises to be easy to carry during their trips.

In the same episode, another collaborator tested portable microphones from brands like DJI and Rode, designed to enhance the audio quality of videos for social media with minimal additional effort. They shared their impressions of the different models and their favorite features.

Finally, a question regarding web browsers was addressed, highlighting the similarities and differences they offer. Furthermore, the team teased a special episode where they will discuss the future of media, podcast production, and answer audience questions.
