do you need phantom power?

i got my blue yeti for $50

seems pretty close to the yeti in sound

yeah you can't really plug a bm-800 direct into PC, it requires power

the blue yeti works by packing phantom power inside of it

the USB connection charges it up

I don't mind though, it means I can easily upgrade to better mics like the audio technica ones one day

or Rode

what do you use for power

interesting in getting a bm-800

I used to use a chink phantom power box, now I use a focusrite scarlet solo

got it refurbished off ebay for fairly cheap

you can use a USB sound card to power the BM-800 decently well but nothing as good as full phantom power

@refinery if you have a blue yeti though that's fine for most things

I'd spend the money elsewhere

yeah i'll just get the stand + filter

i see even for a simple one like you have (scarlet solo) quite an investment

not doing any serious recording, only using it as a mic tbh

but don't like headset mics

Yeah I needed a decent setup for what I do, I do a /csg/ podcast

But most people just play games so it'd not necessary

podcast on your youtube?

is it worth waiting until 11.11 to buy

or is it a meme

@Deleted User any idea if that drone you linked in hotdeals any good? https://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_670388.html?lkid=11773763

wow... chinese have taken 1 step forward

https://www.gearbest.com/keyboards/pp_1015265.html this is actualy first one of these toys i have seen that is tolerable looking

why

what do the others look like

just the generic kidney-bean shape

@Stoopeedo no idea m8, check YouTube reviews

Not a drone guy

too late, I already ordered it

I've read some random review and it seems ok

but in the end the guy says "if you want an actual good foldable drone buy this" and gives a link to a $1000 drone

Yeah, the camera and gimbals add up

The Xiaomi 4k drone is decent at $400

I'd probably buy that if I had the cashola

I've never used drones so I'd have something pretty simple atm

also recently there was a law that requires you to register drones above 250 grams
