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 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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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!
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
Really good review, I have the original version & it seems they still haven't learnt lessons with the awful camera cube & useless dividers, plus its still really heavy compared to other bags the same size. I'm going to NYC soon and tempted to order the Peter McKinnon 25l to see whether that might work better?
I've looked at that as well. In the end, I decided with the OneMo Lite, and I was pleasantly surprised how it worked for my needs without the high cost. I also have the Ulanzi BP10 in my sight as it wasn't available when I went through my international trip.
Be careful if you buy the backpack in Australia as spare parts are not stocked. I lost chest band as shown in the video, and WNDRD was $5 used to replace and $100 USD to post! Outrageous, find a better supplier because the chest strap is easily lost!
TLDW: 1) furnace requires ground, but River Pro doesn't have it 2) River Pro has a hole where the ground pin would be, so using a neutral-to-ground bonding plug (thing shown at 1:29) doesn't work 3) if you use a splitter (orange thing in the video) or a power bar etc to plug the bonding plug in the same source port from the River Pro as the furnace, you have essentially bonded neutral to ground on the furnace, and the furnace will work you could do the same thing with a homemade extension cord that bonds neutral to ground but this method uses off-the-shelf parts
I made the mistake of getting this thing off of ebay. Many people suggest it will be useless down here in FL for car camping because it will only get about 30 degrees below the environmental temp & in my car during these months, it probably reaches like 90 degrees. With that math, it probably wont ever get much cooler than 50 in the cooler. I plan on trying some modifications, but I see that you have in plugged into a wall outlet & i was wondering if you can tell me where you got the adapter to change it from 12v to wall plug? I also have a couple EcoFlows to hook them up to & i would like to hook it up to without having to use the 12v plug, because i guess that draws more power? Idk I don't have high hopes for the thing but i will try to make it worth the $80 i spent on it.
I got the converter from a local store, but its also available on Amazon, I added the link in the description. As for the power consumption, it will be very minimal maybe 40 watts or less. Depending on the watthour of your power station, you could run the cooler for a long time.
@@dadstoysnthings I have the Delta mini & the River pro 2. So it should be pretty good, as long as it isn't too hot in the car. I found the adapter, so hopefully it is not that bad until I can get a Bodega or something.
The River Pro 2 has 768wh, you're looking at around 16-18 hrs of continuous run time if it's the only load, maybe more. I'm basing this on 85% efficiency.
I’ve been worried about how to go about with this because my He-Man has the same problem. (Wobbly legs and can’t stand) Haven’t seen a single video on how to remove the legs because the ones I saw all started with the legs already detached. Gives me relief to see that removing the legs is as easy as just pulling them off. XD Thought I had to dig in and cut the rubber from between the leg pieces and pelvis.
I wouldn't say easy, but it's definitely doable. You'll need to be careful with the tools you use to avoid damaging the body. Sadly, I learned that from my own mistakes doing this.
I only use it when I go to a store, and I want to keep my dashcam running. If i know I'll be gone longer, maybe overnight, I use my Bluetti power station.
@tnamen1307 You could, I've tried that with my 40W solar panel to trickle charge the power bank during sunny days. For this current setup, I'm able to hide the power bank and even the power station from view.
@tnamen1307 Good idea, and I do have a review of the solar panel I use and how I charge a power station with it.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OjqZCkuGof0.htmlsi=mfCZbS9GBGKrAovq
