very helpfull review unbias and straight forward
Best honest review! Big thank you
Nice review and a great selection of headlamps! I know I'm a year late to the party but a great one to include would be the Skilhunt H150. It's one of the very lightest headlamps available, has excellent beam and CRI thanks to the Nachia 519a, decent power for a 14500, a fantastic button and placement, and if you chuck a Vapcell F12 in it, great run times for a tiny torch. It's my pick for ultralight hiking and trail running.
Thanks for suggestion!
My cr10 has a bad motherboard board, will the sonic pad circumvent this issue
I don’t think so.
This is so thorough, thankyou!
Glad it was helpful!
What is the exactl brand name of the Milwaukee ( model )
If you check the video description I have a link to the specific model.
The 3D printer is about 3 years old and I still have doubts about its availability. First, In today's technology, linear rails have become widespread and I can buy a model like the ender 3 v3 ke for a similar price. However, I care about stable, expandable and long-term use. Which would be better? Secondly, the printing speed is a little slower than new printers. Do you think this is an important factor? And finally, Have the slicer updates you mentioned in the video arrived? Thank you very much if you answer my questions and I congratulate you on such a professional video.
I’m afraid I don’t have this printer any more so not sure about updates. Personally I’d probably go for a more up to date printer now.
What a professional review! Really appreciate. Thank you for such a comprehensive review. Worth every second.
Thanks so much - glad it helped!
Awesome video! Data driven and straight to the point. You've earned a sub 😁 Keep up the great content 👏
Thank you - hope it helped!
What software do you use after you scan to make a self portrait?
You can export the model directly from Creality Scan and print.
You question spare bit availability? Is it not the exact same 4mm bits as practically every other precision kit? You mentioned it so many times, yet I dont see the issue......
Depends whether you want matching bits I guess! Also the longer bits aren’t so common. I think I quite clearly also stated that iFixit bits would fit the tool and case - use whatever you want!
Looking at a lot of camparison videos, thanks! Still not sure what I should get😂
It's a tricky one! I've got a couple more Bluetti's I'll be looking at in July which might be worth waiting for - or they might add to the confusion! These power stations have come on a long way - the hardest decision is deciding how much power and capacity you need IMO.
@@TheTechnologyMan I have waited this long, what is another month :)
Nice. Question: I want to use one of these in my allotment shed to power some 12v LED lights, recharge my battery power tools and run some mains powered tools like a circular saw, jigsaw, planer etc. I also plan to hook it up to a 100W solar panel on the roof to trickle charge it when the suns out. In the main I'll charge it at home and simply connect it up when I get to the allotment. Can I use any 100W panel and just connect it via the MP4 connectors?
Most 100W panels should be fine - just double check the voltage and that they have MC4 connectors. A 100W panel should top up the AC180 ok for limited use - but the power tools might drain it fairly quickly.
Great video! There is a new cyclami pump (HW125) that is similar to the cyclpus AS2 Pro but is way cheaper. Could you do a review of it?
Thanks for the suggestion - they must have just come on the market! I will try and get one in.
YES, THE PRINTER LOOKS GOOD AND IT IS FAST, THE PROBLEM IS, THE LEVELING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY . COMPAIRED TO MANY OTHER PRINTERS THE WORK PERFECT WHEN IT COMES TO LEVELING AND THE FIRST LAYER IT COMES SHORT AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED, WHY WOULD WE , THE CONSUMERS EXPECT LESS FROM CREALITY , WHEN INVESTING OVER 900.00 USD THE FIRST LAYER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LAYER , WE SHOULD NOT EXCEPT A PRINTER UNLESS THE FIRST LAYER IS PERFECT OR CLOSE TO PERFECT
Is your first layer not sticking, or do you mean it's not just "perfect"? I get decent if results off this printer but agree the first layer could be better.
great video. hows the processing time on older phones? was it slower than your old computer?
Thanks. I haven't tried the app with an older phone I'm afraid.
This is awesome. I’m getting the Makita version. Mainly for blowing off my saws on site
Great let me know what you think of it!
@@TheTechnologyMandefinitely! It should be here this weekend
@@TheTechnologyMan got it! Seems to work great and the attachments are nice. Makita battery fitment is good. It is really loud!
@@tomforward990 Great! Yes it is noisy!
Great video, informative yet concise - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
For the future spend more time on the other presets because not everyone is going to use the first preset lots of people are going to be using the neutral sound preset
I guess that’s assuming they’ll even use the app!
@@TheTechnologyMan hey I don't know if you have tried it but do you think the tf8q sound better then the Jabra elite 10
A lot of disapointing features missing on this printer. It looks rather lame and is over 2 years old yet is still £250.00 on Amazon. Far too much money for a minimal feature printer. The only feature that is ok for this printer is the refill tanks. I'll wait until canon come up with a good printer that is worth the money.
Would love them to update the model with some more AIO features.
This video is a gem. Every single Answer I had about that cheap aliexpress one got answered.
That’s great glad it helped!
Nicely done content again! Thank you sir
Thank you Murat!
Electric vs manual - what do you prefer? Does anyone even need an electric precision screwdriver? Link to screwdriver: geni.us/3jpe0 (affiliate)
I would love the name and model of the device at 4:30 if anyone knows
It's an energy monitor - that's an old one but they're cheap on Amazon etc.
A bit "late", I suppose - but I just got this monitor and am loving it. Excellent review
Still have it and still a great monitor!
Which mode should be used to follow a runner around a track at a track meet?
I'd try the PF mode - you can get a nice tracking shot.
Thank you!
Is it more judicious to get a white or black turn table ?a link please ? Thanks in advance for your device
Buyers beware, this gimbal is not only overpriced but comes with massive issues. Their customer service is horrible as well. The Gimbal locks its motors internally and beeps a bunch of times then it auto shuts off rendering it useless. Look at the videos on youtube, tons of people complaining about its malfunction.
Thanks for the warning - one thing that is difficult to test is customer support. Personally I'd but off Amazon if you're concerned then you won't need to deal directly with Hohem.
does this method work with iphone se 2020 too?
Should do!
For DeWalt is there a minimum recommended battery size? 1.5ah, 3ah, 5ah? Obviously the larger the battery the more sustained voltage
They should all deliver the same power. In my tests the battery wasn't the limiting factor.
Had this for 3 years and almost never used it. The outside case started to sweat and became sticky, If I connect anything to the AC outlet, the connected device starts to buzz or not function properly
One reason I hate the matte slightly rubberised finish!
Does the zoom feature work without a 3rd party application ?
No it only works with the Hohem app.
Great video! I have the Ace Pro on order. Is the Multi Mount and Mantis Pod 2.0 the same thing?
Thanks! I was actually just looking at the Mantis Pods the other day to see what the differences were. As far as I can see, I think the main difference is the head - the Multi Mount doesn't really have a head just a mount.
@@TheTechnologyManvery interesting thank you. So the Insta 360 version does not have a head that would be a drawback I guess? sorry I’m a newbie Now I just need to figure out which one I ordered. LOL
@@sidzhottake The Insta360 version works fine with small cameras. It's versatile but a little slow / tricky to deploy.
@@TheTechnologyMan I think I ordered the non-instant 360 mantis pod to work with the ace pro so I should be fine?
How long takes to scan a face?
It's pretty quick a minute or two?
The Aliexpress compressor at the start of the video, I bought that from Ali for £1.30 delivered. Been great so far.
Wow that's a bargain!
DUDE TALKS ABOUT THE RUBBER FEET! Thanks for the details man noone else goes that deep!
Yes perhaps a bit OTT looking back!
Can you use it for Xbox?
Sorry not something I've tried!
W-King d8 or motion boom?
I'd go for Anker Motion Boom Plus - have a review of that one too.
I am at the stage where I can't decide between the Hohem or the Zhiyun 5s. Any thoughts to help sway me one way or the other?
I haven’t reviewed the Zhiyun but it really depends if you want tracking with 3rd party apps. This is by far the best feature of this gimbal - I’m not too keen on using the manufacturers’ apps. If you just need smooth footage and aren’t filming yourself I’m sure either will be fine!
Hi there, need some clarification and help. At mark 4:30, you plugged the adapter to a power source (i.e. wall charger, powerbank) didn’t work and need to plug it into RSHTECH USB Hub to make it to work? Thank you and great content
Yes for the SSDs I've tried you'll need additional power from a powered USB hub. Thanks for your comment.
@@TheTechnologyMan much appreciated for the response. I do have a quick clarification. So, connecting to a power source such as wall charger or powerbank doesnt work?
Where to buy?
There should be links in the description of the video, but I bought mine from Amazon US - took around a week to the UK.
Ever test a wide beam head lamp ?
Some of these have a pretty wide beam?
@@TheTechnologyMan I was thinking more like 230 degrees wide beam.
Great review. Many thanks. Subscribed. Ordered my 8's yesterday. I wanted the wireless charging of the 90's but needed the waterproofing of the 8's. Don't we just hate how manufacturers never give us the holy grail of any product. Lol.
Thanks for the support! Yep - still on my quest for the perfect earbuds!
I just received my soundcore 2 from Amazon and I was testing it's sound. I was so disappointed in it that I could easily give my cellphone speakers a better rating than this trash. A complete waste of money.
If it's from Amazon should be easy to send it back! Mobile phones have got a lot better - although mine certainly doesn't have anywhere near the volume of even my old Soundcore 2.
Highly excellent content thank you sir
Thank you!
Another excellent review. I have the Ugreen and the Ring RTC 4000. I carry the Ring in the car and have the Ugreen at home. I find the Ugreen more pleasant to use after about a month it discharged and it took several hours to fully recharge. The Ring has pass through. Again thank you for a helpful review.
Thanks! I hadn't come across the Ring model will try and take a look!
Please let me know if you want me to do a comparison video against its main rivals and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 costs more, but you don’t need a smartphone, it has a larger 1” sensor and you can record directly to memory cards! Or if you’d like me to do a tutorial video on this gimbal also let me know.
So i will still need a usb hub to transfer from a ssd enclosure?
Yes you will - with the SSD's I've tested at least. Your phone doesn't have enough power.
you are great! thank you
Thank you! Did you get it working?
@@TheTechnologyMan yes I did. Thanks !
I very rarely leave comments on videos I watch, but I had to for your video! Superb detail, great tests, links and to have written document to support your findings is gold standard.
Really appreciate your comment - thank you! Very glad the video helped.
