Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas for Web Video Junkies!

It’s Sunday before Christmas. Less than a week left to get your shopping done. And regardless of whether you actually celebrate retailers favorite holiday, you still no doubt will need to pick up something to remind your friends and co-workers how much you appreciate them. These will score you big points with your budding web video star friends—instead of re-gifting that Toilet Bowl Coffee Mug you got stuck with at your White Elephant party.

We started our Tubefilter Holiday Gift Guide for Web Video Junkies

last year. It was quite popular and you fine readers told us you wanted to see back. So here is our 2010 version, designed to be a painless, last-minute list of gadgets and must-haves for web video creators. Bonus: they can all be ordered online in time for Xmas.

Double bonus: Unlike YouTube’s polished Holiday Gift Guide, our list is free from any bias or sponsorship. We just like this stuff.

Chill Pill Mobile Speakers These rugged little beauties were sent to us by our friends at G4TV.com and we have used them every day since. It’s two high-quality speakers that are self-powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery. That means any time you need to screen your hot new sizzle reel for that studio exec you just bumped into at the airport—BAM—no sharing headphones needed. These little speakers pack light, with some clever interference free retractable cables, that let you turn your laptop into a boombox in no time flat. With three different audio modes—one for music, audiobooks, or podcasts—these are pure gifting WIN. $32.30 on Amazon.

Boxee Box by D-Link We’ve been anticipating the Boxee Box for so long we almost panicked that it would not be shipping in time for the holidays. Phew. Sure enough this industrial design gem is here from manufacturer D-Link bringing thousands of web series in stunning HD to your TV sets. And in case someone doesn’t get this for you this holiday season, you can live vicariously with Revision3’s Unboxing Porn series who gave us a steamy Boxee Box unboxing session last month. $199.00 on Amazon.

Blue Microphones Yeti The Yeti is the gold standard of USB microphones. And if you’ll let us audio geek-out for a minute, it packs tri-capsule array with 3 condenser capsules can record almost any situation—multiple pattern selection cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional and stereo. Need any more convincing? Well, this is the mic that web series director Brett Register (The Crew, A Good Knight’s Quest) swears by for his semi-regular podcast with Craig Frank: Brett & Craig Do the Internet. $95.91 on Amazon.

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 Let’s face it, if you’re serious about growing your audience as a YouTube star, then the little built-in camera on you MacBook just isn’t oing to cut it. You’ll need some brilliant 1080p action that the C910 delivers, making it a favorite amongst YouTube stars. It even makes this Mom-friendly with 1-click video uploading to Facebook and YouTube, though we thoroughly advise against this. Editing is not optional kids! But really, this puppy rocks a 5 MP HD sensor, precision Carl Zeiss lens, autofocus and intelligent auto light correction for crystal clear video. Oh and if you didn’t score the Yeti (above), it has some decent dual built-in noise-cancelling mics for you. $74.99 on Amazon.

HoverSpy Video Cam R/C Copter On a budget but still must have that aerial flyover shot? Uh, well for a mere $80 you can have the HoverSpy, which let’s you fly up to 150 feet high with its built-in camera that records high-quality video while you control it form the ground. (We really want one of these..) $79.99 on ThinkGeek.

Antoine Dodson ‘Run Tell That’ T-Shirt After a rough start to the year for Chicago resident Antoine Dodson and his family, the viral star of the Bed Intruder meme has become a merchandising powerhouse. His t-shirt line at DistrictLines is their top seller with catchy slogans like “Run Tell That” and “Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife”. Seeing that most of the revenue goes to Dodson himself, this is a safe buy in that it’s still okay to exploit your own catchphrases for shameless profit. $19.95 at DistrictLines.
