      @FlyoverGroup I love his videos and he seems trustworthy and relatable in my opinion.. I'm just getting to the point where I don't feel like I need anything new and frankly can't justify buying anything.

    The Nitecore MagSafe powerbank does not support Qi2 so with an iPhone it will be a slow charging speed of 7,5W 😕. For the same charging speed you could get at half the price the Sharge Carbonmag 5K with Qi or the Carbonmag 10K with Qi2 support.

    • @JonGadget
      @JonGadget  4 години тому +1

      Thanks for the feedback - I'll check on this as Nitecore say it can charge up to 15w using Qi standard - could be ambiguous as I assumed that would mean Qi2 - I will find out and aim to update this comment.

      @stephendewit6309 5 годин тому +1

      I'm with you on this. I did a corkscrew to phillips swap on my vic waiter to make it an apprentice. I also modified the scales to take a retractable 58mm pen. Perfect minimal pocket knife for me. Lives in a leather bic case on my keychain to protect the scales and slides out for unencumbered use

    @aac6325 4 години тому +1

    I appreciate this comprehensive review. While many of the products assessed are not part of my regular workflow, I would like to offer feedback on the Bellroy Transit Work Bag. It is an exceptional bag; the design is aesthetically pleasing, the back panel is breathable and comfortable, and the padded straps provide excellent support. The quick-access side pocket is a particularly clever feature. The clamshell opening of the main compartment is spacious enough for a two-to-three-day trip. My only reservation is the placement of the water bottle holder on the left side, which is inconvenient given my preference to carry the bag on my right shoulder.

    I love watching JG's videos and keep in touch with new gadgets that become available. I did buy quite a few of his recommendations; and was horrified to discover how expensive some of them are. Again it was all about want more than need and so have restricted my purchases. There is a reason why the word influencer is used I guess as I am easily influenced and excited about gadgets. But enough of flashlights for now. I wonder if John sells off his out of date gadgets.

    Interesting and worth watching as usual. I'd suggest including comparisons with certain types of items, not in this video, obviously, as it is one of each. But generally, if you show eg the Belroy rucksack, show others as well. There are plenty which are nearly as good for much less.

    2025: A great video to end the year, so thanks. For the new year, I love the mix of tech and practical gear you bring to the show, not that I would necessarily need or buy everything, but that's not the point, from the comments it seems others have, which is great. I have bought quite a few items you've showcased and if I was a lightweight air traveller, I'd have bought quite a lot more, but many items have found their way into other people's presents. So, more of the same please. Have a great Christmas 🎄. 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇮🇪

  • @FrankTerranova1
    @FrankTerranova1 2 години тому

    Each of us has different needs, budgets, interests, tastes, and values.
    The thing is there are definitely certain commonalities to EDC.
    I really like that Jon went right into his current _EDC_Bag_; however, that Orange Bag looks too flimsy and it strikes me as hideous. I've been using The Northface and Maxpedition for a couple of decades now.
    Due to an shoulder messed up by arthritis these days I've been looking for alternative Sling Bags with a capacity of at least 15 Liters and a very good admin section and a padded iPad/Tablet/Laptop section.
    My Medium "Complete" EDC Kit is about 2.5 Liters, leaving room for whatever else I expect to need on a given day.
    We may not agree with Jon's choices, he provides us with his fundamental views of EDC, Kits and Tool as well as what may be available to get tools, make kits, and what to carry our "stuff" in.
    😊

    • @FrankTerranova1

  • @bani_niba
    @bani_niba 7 годин тому +1

    Unfortunately, I still have some older devices that use micro-USB connectors - small camera, small flashlights, etc. So any charging product without a micro-USB is not a useful solution for me.

    • @JonGadget

      check out InCharge X as keyring cable if it appeals (emergency use only I would say as Micro USB option not very secure)
