One of the downsides of the new Macs are the adapters needs to connect everything to USB-C.  I thought for a while my adapter was making a hiss on my recordings.  I swapped out my mic cable in order to plug directly into the computer.  There are cheaper labels out there.  Sometime you get lucky on a bargain but mostly you get what you pay for.

This is the adapter, or similar, you need to plus standard USB into your new Mac.  This also has a card reader.  These are incredibly handy.  I've even had two plugged in at once!  Again, there are a lot of these out there.  They are only as good as there parts.  The cheapest answer is not always the right choice!

This little wizard box is where I put all my shortcuts and build folders of my video slides, graphics, sound effects, and websites for use during a live video.  No keyboard hot keys for me. Each button has a preview of it's function that light up.  It's an amazing little gadget that make videos a smooth operation.

This is my light to go!  I take this with me when I travel.  It clips onto a phone or laptop.  It's handy in a snap and doubles as a night light.  This can be recharged from a usb cable.  You will likely want natural light in your office or bigger boxes.  But for the price and weight this is a great purse accessory.
