Ringke Folding laptop stand 2 Review: A must-have travel item..!
brother...... the time goes down because the inverter draws power when it's on, even with nothing plugged in. I believe it draws about 25 watts just idling, which is why the estimated time goes down.
Thank you for the comment, and yes, this is the only model that does that, I have 3 other power stations, including the Ecoflow River Pro I bought two years ago. Yes, leaving the AC draws power but not as much as the River 2 Pro. The first one I bought drops to 50 hours runtime when AC is turned on, without any load. This one drops anywhere from 49 to 79. Even Ecoflow support said that should not be the case and offered to replace it. But since this is the 2nd time this happened, I no longer trust the model.
can I use this speedlite el-5 as a external flash for my Canon R5?
I have not tried it myself, but the EL-5 can be set up as a receiver. If you have a compatible transmitter on the camera, it should work. The EL-5 is not directly compatible with the R5 though.
Please tell me which dash cam you have, is that cable work for a Mitshubi v6 outlander gt?
Hi, thanks for asking. This is the NextBase 522GW. This is not hardwired. It's connected via the DC adapter, so it will work in any vehicle.
@@dadstoysnthings will it work with any camera? Such as vantrue?
I think so, as long as the camera has an adapter and cable long enough to reach the DC socket.
@@dadstoysnthings Sorry to bother, my car got scratched while parked and they left so I want make sure this one can work without drawing my battery. How do I know the Vantrue S1 Pro 2.7 front and rear has an adapter?
@danielavelasquez8826 The dashcam will kill the battery if you leave it longer without the vehicle running. An option would be to do this ua-cam.com/video/aU3LyoaUP_k/v-deo.htmlsi=VTWTt4wHok1xHEmf Or buy a small power station and use it as the auxiliary power if the vehicle is not running.
Can you hook 2 of these dragon panels together?
I don't believe these were designed to be connected in series or parallel with another panel. That being said, if you have the right connector, you may be able to do it, but I don't think there's much to gain.
@@dadstoysnthings 80 watts is better than 40. I have the 40 watt one x 2....so....I was hoping.
What bag would you recommend if not this one? :)
Thank you for asking, I ended up using the OneMo lite on my last international travel. You can check out the bag here: ua-cam.com/video/YOgYJb9tdFs/v-deo.html
Mines ain’t come with a charger 😢
That's OK. You can use any phone or USB charger as long as you have the micro usb cable.
My does my fan keep stop spinning after 5 seconds does that mean it’s broken or just needs charge
@BlackBoyMav Try to charge it to 100% and see if it still happens. If it does, then I would think it's defective. But make sure you didn't select the natural wind mode. if you're in that mode, it will cycle between high and low, which will also look like there's something wrong with the unit. But that's a mode.
Did it also help with the cooling
Yes, it has settings for hot and cold. It has kept the 3rd floor bedroom at the same temperature as the ground floor.
Red lantern batman look sick
Agree, Batman is already scary without any power. Imagine him having a red lantern ring, not just a doppelganger like Batrocious but the actual Batman!
Cost
Hi, thank you for the comment, I have a link in the description. The price changes depending on the promo.
What does the other button on his belt do? WERE DID YOU BUY IT
Hi there, it's the sound effects when he's about to land. I got this from a toy show years ago.
Ugh they really need to restock the black in the US. Been waiting months and my trip is coming up fast. I procrastinated too hard and they all sold :P
Yeah, I hear you, here in Toronto, it's either the blue or orange, I tried the blue and it wasn't so bad.
I want to freeze water bottles in it so you helped me out a ton. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback, and yes, it does go down in temperature enough to freeze water bottles!
It's not compatible with the new Google find my device network. Don't buy!!
Hi, it's primarily for Samsung users. This specific devices require the higher Samsung model with UWB.
thank you, Im looking for something, I have two subpups but maybe I can use that with both as they don't always run at the same time. Is it still working? please let me know
Yes, it is working as intended, I do test it once a week, and that's just me being extra cautious.
I can't seem to place my hand s in the right spot to turn the cover off. Can someone show me pls.
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by turning the cover off. Can you please elaborate?
@@dadstoysnthings sure. You are supposed to be able to remove the fan cover counterclockwise to be able to clean it. But I see how I worded it. It does look confusing. Looks like im talking about a switch. Lol
@rachelbourgeois5726 Oh, let me see, lay the fan flat in its compact position, then hold the base with your left hand. On the cover, there are two thicker parts. While holding the base, pull the left part counterclockwise. That would unlock the cover.
@@dadstoysnthings ty. Ouch. I hurt my finger. But I got it. Lol.
What flash gun are you using?
Hi, I tried the adapter, but I ended up using the EL-5. No regrets. ua-cam.com/video/edceji4WU40/v-deo.html
@@dadstoysnthings Sorry, I mean which flash gun is in this video? I want a budget friend one that works with the adapter first and I will upgrade in the future
Oh, it's my old Canon 430EXII. I also used the Godox TT685II-C.
@@dadstoysnthings Which one do you recommend out of these 2? I just need one to get me by for the moment
I would go with the Canon 430EXII. I had issues with the Godox.
Amazing artwork on the card! Great figure!!
Thanks for the comment! I totally agree!
Thank you for this detailed review! Cheers 🎉
Appreciate the feedback!
The Canon EL-1 has ATG's features that many pros need and use. Now, many pros are upset that they must buy an adapter. The Canon EL-5, EL-10, 580EX and below are made for beginners & amateurs. Having no ATG's features like ATG's Godox flashes
As a hobbyist, the EL-5 meets and even exceeds all my needs, but I understand those who accumulated the 5 pin flash, having spent a lot of money on them. Canon could have made it a hybrid, but it's business. They need to push consumers on the new platform to make new sales.
I use the similar looking but functionally different Tenba DNA 16 backpack. I prefer the camera "drawer" system on that bag.
I have used the Tenba as well, and I can say I would choose it over the Prvke. I ended up returning the Tenba eventually as I still found it limiting, I ended up with the OneMo Lite.
Did yours work right out of the box or did you have to charge it?
Hi, it came with a charge, and in my case, I mostly charge my devices to full capacity before I use them for the first time.
top ring is upside down and probably blocking the top vent holes !!!!
👏👏
Thank you for the support!
Nice video but Bexin mini tripod is much better, superior, high quality and sturdier option. I have both and i like the bexin more than small-rig. Bexin mini is able to hold firmly my Sony a7r5 with sigma 24-70mm lens without any limp.
Hey, thanks for watching and the feedback, I'll look it up!

😁
I bought this bag (31L) when it was announced on Kick Starter because I liked the looks and also fell for the influencer photographers at that time. In my opinion and experience, this is the most impractical camera bag I have owned. This reviewer lists pretty much all the negatives and I agree with him. My inconveniences where the waste of spaces inside the cube, the side access design, the front zipper pocket (is only good to carry flat item) and many more. So I took the camera cube out and use it as a carry-in travel bag and it is absolutely wonderful. I have done multiple 2 week overseas trips using this bag. So a great travel bag, YES. A great EDC camera bag, No.
I ended up cutting the cover off the camera cube and replaced all the inner dividers with thinner ones. Also, I used velcro, so the cube is flushed in the bag. Even at that, the side access is still an issue for me. It's a very impractical design.
Also did not like it very much, I always prefer my Shimoda Explore v2 ... 35 Liter version has enough depth for putting things vertically...
Thanks for the comment! Yes, the Shimoda Explore is definitely bigger. I almost bought the newer Shimoda Urban V2, only that I found it can not stand on its own. I ended up with the OneMo Lite, cheaper and more functional.
If you still have it, take it apart and check out that black box on the inside. If you look at the circuit board, you _might_ notice that there are two 470uf 16v capacitors which may be blown. Even if not, there's a good chance that you can probably fix this by swapping those capacitors out. I've thrown away like 2-3 of these before I realized that was the issue. When some of my remaining purifiers inevitably started going bad, I looked up the solution and found some tutorials that demonstrated exactly how to fix those caps. Hope this helps you or someone else who finds this vid.
Hey, thank you for the suggestion. Like you, I've thrown away all my Levoit specific to this model. I still have the Levoit Core 400S, and one year after I turned that on, it's still working almost non-stop.
@@dadstoysnthings that’s good! There may be folks out there like me who got several of them at around the same time. I ended up sort of invested in it since I also stock up on their filters (just get the off brand on amazon). As a result, I will have 1 break out of the (now) 5 purifiers which all use the same filter, lol. So, for me it’s valuable knowledge now to know how to fix them! I’m a nerd, so I may someday decide to make the smart functionality local-only (e.g. via home assistant or HomeKit) since I’m sure maybe Levoit could go under or just no longer support the purifiers. I’m sure folks will appreciate that since it’s a bad habit of companies these days to add features like these but not really support them properly and tell consumers to “buy another one” (typical and greedy).
Theres also figures of combining Daineegu, the turtle Gamenza, and rhino Zaizarus
Hey, thanks for the info! I bought one of each available I saw in the store, and at the time, this is all they have. Maybe one day I'll be able to go back and will definitely get anything I'm missing.
Do they make a compatible table top you can purchase to go on it?
Hey, thanks for the comment! And that's actually a good idea! I'm now thinking of building my own, with a sheet of plywood, so I can use this as a make shift table!
I want that
I think I prefer the RFID protection in the locking compartment as that's is where I'd be keeping credit cards etc.
Thank you for the comment, and I like that Pacsafe is coming up with different designs that cater to the needs of individuals.
Thank you for the review! Just ordered one!
The shiny part on his chest is a separate piece?
No, it's not removable.
I wish it had load lifters
That might help. The bag is already heavy in itself.
Nice
Thanks for the review, I wasn't aware of Quad lock until i saw this!
😊😊😊👍👍👍
thanks for the reviews. bunch of videos saying they dont work, obvioulsy didnt need the boost.
This is now a permanent fixture in my 3rd floor bedroom. It has made such a difference as that room was either the hottest in the summer or coldest in the winter. Now it has the same temperature as the ground floor living room.
After I made this video, I found out that there were actually four colors released. However, at the time of doing this video, there are only two colors available in Canada. If you're in the US, there's also a gray and black one. This blue color, however, grew on me, and I decided to keep it.
Thank you for the video. Do you think it would be possible to fit three passports in the Vibe 100 RFID blocking pocket and close it with velcro? I can't estimate how big this pocket is.
You're welcome! And to your question, you can fit 3 passports in the Vibe 100's RFID pouch and still close the velcro, assuming you don't have a lot of stuff in the outer compartment. But I had no problem fitting 4 passports in the RFID compartment for the Eco, even with all the other things I had there, as shown in the video.
@@dadstoysnthings Thank you.
No diffuser for $400
I hear you. I wish one was included, too.
I hear you, it would be great if one is included too.
My 430 and 470 came with one you pay more and get less
@game2572 One thing about technology, they're never a good investment unless one is making a living out of it. I guess I accepted that a long time ago when I got hooked with DSLRs as a hobby.
Ty for this review❤ do the cheaper ones leak i heard they do opposed to the dometic
Thanks for watching! So far, none of the cheaper ones have leaked yet. To add to that, however, the wife is complaining it takes forever for the Dometic to fill a cup vs. the cheaper ones.
@@dadstoysnthings ty my friend.
The cheaper two are currently unavailable through you link.
@charlesd3376 Thank you for the feedback. And yes, you are correct. The good news is there is more of them available now for you to choose from. Simply search for "water bottle pump".
It has the same face and head than the 2003 mcdonalds Astroboy toys
Very nice my friend!!!
Thank you!
Brakes?
No, it doesn't have wheel brakes. I haven't owned any that has ibe.
yes, thanks for making video on sand. I still bought it because i only use it on the beach just a few times. so i know I will have to keep it light when it comes to soft sand. Kids will be still carrying. lol
Hey, thanks for watching and for the comment. It is my goto wagon. The bottom storage is so useful for the long items, especially my 10x10 shelter. And added height really saves my back.
I can see where this product could have favorable applications but I can also imagine its limitations. It would be worth purchasing and using along with my larger more powerful washer. Good video.
Thanks for watching and the comment! I can say that from experience, this Dewalt has the same power as the now dead Simoniz electric power washer. And to your point, some applications may require a more powerful tool.
😮 Great piece! How much did you pay?😊
Thank you! And definitely lower than any price you'll see in eBay or local sellers. The seller doesn't even know what it is other than it's old.
That’s a speaker on top not a microphone. The two microphones are on the front under the lens.
Hey, thanks for watching and for the comment! You are correct. That's the speaker. The microphones are located in front underneath the lens and a third one at the bottom.
