Great vid and info Asia! I realised that I didn’t need a heap of watt hrs about a year ago, so replaced my 120a lithium with a 50a lithium. Storage and weight savings achieved and I run my fridge and lights for the 3days/2nights that I usually camp for. Keep up the good work mate!
I have! And I actually plugged my amaean into it. LED studio lights don't draw much so you'll be good. I've even used smaller power banks on location shoots too
If only it had a second dc input, that could be used at the same time as the solar input, surpassing the cap on the 200w solar, I don’t know, I think it would be pretty much perfect for me. Like if it were cloudy, but I had a way of using 2 power banks that surpass 100w output, like 2 anker ones with 140w or something similar, that would make this so perfect, I can make do and even have fun hunting down low wattage appliances on the market, but I just wish this could take in more solar and take in more dc as well. Otherwise I’m sold. Thanks 🙏
I have so many powerbanks and there's always something missing with each. Lol. One day I'll have the power bank that has all the ports I need. Someone just needs to make it lol
Clearly you guys aren't on IG. I don't film every trip I'm on. And I spent all of last year editing our overland film. But when I'm out I'll do snippets of using the gear and make reels or drop them into these kinds of videos. Any of you have kids? Confined to going to school? Jobs that keep you from going as often as you'd like and when you do go out the last thing you want to do is film the whole time. I wish this was a full time gig for me but it's not. So at the very least I would like to get a video out weekly on gear
@@Toglander wait I just realized you're the same guy that commented something similar before. Sooo if you have the same complaint why are you still here? That's like me going to the same restaurant every week complaining about their burgers.
If I'm understanding the question correctly and you're talking about solar, depends how many watts your solar has. Max is 200 if I remember correctly so one 200w solar panel would be the easiest without putting a bunch in a series Is that what you mean?
@@BaptismOverland correct. But the a180 and I think the a70 require a higher voltage. So at the bare minimum, you’d have to have two 100 panels in series to reach it.
@@BaptismOverland so I double checked in the bluetti forums and for the larger units most people are working multiple panels in series to increase voltage. But from what I can tell, I guess it is not a requirement.
@@daratatum6111 right. And as this is smaller you should be fine with just one panel. Might take a bit longer. With my dual battery I haven't needed to use solar on my powerbanks anymore. Only on my dual battery setup

@@DavinCarlile exactly where my thought process was too!
Damn it. Just when I thought I was gonna save some money. 🤷🏼♂️
Nice!
Do you plug video lights into it? Can't find a video on it. I wanna use it to light a film set . Neewer 600 led panels.

Ordered mine 3 days ago. Hurry up Fed ex!
This overland channel has zero overland videos. You need to change your name to Baptism Gear Reviews.
I know right? His adventures are limited to the confines of his studio.
So what! I like his style on reviews on overlanding products.

@@Toglander also, zero?! Tell me you don't do research without telling me you don't do research.

So this will take a 12 V panel and not require 2 12V in series?

@@BaptismOverland just dropped back by to let you know I picked one of these up. It’s absolutely perfect. Thanks again for all the info. 🎉
