IS THIS THE BEST 270 DEGREE AWNING ON THE MARKET ?? EXPLORE TIPS- THE BUSH COMPANY 270 XT AWNING 

Value?? You can get a full size awning on a house for that

Have a look at the 23zero awning.... It's got a huge storm flap at the rear I use bulldog clips to hold against the DS gutter. Big coverage, comparable weight, zips not Velcro walls, and 1/3 of the price!

I didn't know that! That's awesome, I was watching the vid thinking the Aussies have such cool gear, and this gets manufactured 30 min from where I stay.

Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.

@Vincenzo Mekhi Instablaster :)

Yep, 2 minutes of your life you'll never get back.

@@gr0uch02a What do ya mean, bud?

@@micknoname6466 can’t read mate.

@@robras2850 Cool

Bush company are in Europe mate

@@theexplorelife really? I could not find a dealer... 🤔 Good to know...

Agreed.. Cant justify the higher price vs a reasonable quality product from Darche..

The Darche is flimsy. I have it, I hate it.

What a load of Wank. I'll stick with my D'arche

@@briszx9r594 would that be more likely to let water in if raining? because they don't have the mini awning?

I saw them and did lots of research and checking all different awnings, however this one it's absolutely the strongest and the best on the market. My opinion

30second awning is about $1200 and brilliant

Look at the Bushwakka awning too.

Damn, $2k for some Shade....

@@s15jason and add 5K+ for the roof top tent

@@mc4nathan336 will do cheers mate

Check out Clevershade. 👌

Will pass on the feedback

Hey mate I’ve got a ram now with a rooftop tent and im running the slightly larger 270XT Max awning which has more coverage for the front of the vehicle. There’s a full video of the new vehicle on my channel but definitely still rate the bush company gear as top notch 👌

There's a great DIY guy that shows how to build your own 270 degree awning for ~US$220 for those of us who can't afford one of these beauties. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nlBSYIvfKC4.html

Yeh it sure is just needs to be mounted

Thank you 🥰

I was just heading to the Gobi site to see what I could find. I guess I would need to know how this mounts first!

Check their website. They have all the details

hey mate I was running a front runner rack at the time. I did mount the awning straight to the alpha tent but you can get universal awning brackets supplied with the bush company 270 that will suit almost every roof rack or tent. Hope this helps

@@theexplorelife Thank you for the information and response.

Since this video they have since released the 270XT Max which has exactly that!

@@theexplorelife Thanks Mate! After watching your video I went to their web site and saw that. It does look like the premium freestanding 270 on the market, just small things for me let it down, like no integrated LED light etc. Sure a new owner can add their own, but it never looks as nice and many other 270’s have them standard.

Lol I'm watching this right now because mg awning was stolen last night. This one looks way better than what I had thought. Great video review

It’s on its way

Have a look at the 23zero awning.... It's got a huge storm flap at the rear I use bulldog clips to hold against the DS gutter. Big coverage, comparable weight, zips not Velcro walls, and 1/3 of the price!

It would also increase the price no doubt

@@boxheadmr yes of course. One cons is the price vs how many pros? Light weight; roof load back in safe range; less stress force on fittings; far more superior strength = less chances of breaking. At home all the pros won't matter but when you are in Gary junction it might be a different scenario.

@@maxgermasi3302 have you looked at how expensive titanium is compared to aluminium? its not just a little bit more expensive, its extremely more expensive. also, the process of welding titanium is more time consuming and costs more in welding gas and filler wire. Would it be a far superior awning? absolutely! but no company is going to make them because there would only be a handful of people that would be willing to pay like 5k plus for an awning

If it was titanium, it would be 4 grand

@@philburns5044 So what? It doesn't really look like a budget built to me. He is the one the complained about the weight and the strength of the product not me. And he mentioned that it is not the cheapest product on the market either.

@Ron Carter My best mate here in oz is a south African and he's a bloody good bloke and he even put me on to finger board, south Africa gear is as good a quality of any thing made in Australia. Ps WWGI WGA 😍

@Ron Carter where we go one we go all . There like aussies from another mother .

@@mickm2999 Q anon idiot alert

I also have the Falcon XL and am about to upgrade to the Front Runner. Did you come up with a solution?

@@jeremyrevitch1552 yes. Very large L brackets (custom is ideal but regular will work) w/ the mounting brackets attached from the bottom. Falcon XL offset slightly to 1 side to keep it all within the side mirrors.

@@joeybadventures7883 Sorry to be daft but what are you attaching the L's to? Any chance you've got an image of the finished product? Looks like my LandRover is going to become a tippy truck!

It's not quite free standing though, still has legs that you should put down once the wind picks up.

Definitely snorkel and a winch is a must if going solo if you have other people with you you’d just get away with out one 👍

Wilbur cheers mate Would u recommend a snorkel for the dust or the water. We are not doing all the hard core tracks but cuz wonna do a bit of exploring👍🏻

Jack McMaster both dust and water mate both as bad as each other don’t want your 4wds air box filling with dust and water just one of the cheaper mods you can do to save your engine 👍

Wilbur great cheer mate Thanks👍🏻

About to pickup my qiuick pitch awning... but quick pitch tent or the bush company alpha tent?

triddy I don’t have the tent so I can’t comment about that sorry mate

It’s a better awning for sure, much bigger, that’s the downfall off the XT, the size. Too bad quick pitch doesn’t have great customer service like bush company.

Agreed mate. I love mine too.... Compared this one, ARB, TJM, 30 sec, etc all on the same day at the 4x4 expo in Melbourne last year. The 23zero crushes the competition with bang for buck

Check out my 79 walkaround mate! the max has an additional section that covers the front of the car

He has one coming 🤙

@@theexplorelife fk yeahhh!

Joshua Cunneen thinking was filmed with a drone

Looks like a drone or a gimble with tracking

Some people can be so picky

@@rossp1762 yea I agree, it’s easy to complain. What I don’t get is with the prevalence of cell phone cameras and truly crappy video and audio, that the viewer would cut some slack to someone who is trying to make an effort to improve their productions. What was done nicely was a dissemination of information. I personally learned a great deal. Oh and for full disclosure, I have been a pro photographer since 1976. Here is the key, when your method of presentation does not distract too greatly from the message you are trying to convey you were successful in disturbing that knowledge. Also use the equipment you have to it’s fullest. Photographers/ Videographers tend to be gadget and equipment obsessed. Do not upgrade until technology forces you to do so. A lot of new technology can require a long learning curve and you might not get substantially better results because of being frustrated by the camera in you hand. Know your audience. Know your main distribution platform. Is 4K or even 1080p really need for RU-vid? Having said that, I love big sensors a relic from my film days but having a large formate workflow drives the cost up even more with computer capability and storage. So keep a clear mind on you goals. Don’t listen to the complainers until 1 out of 3 people complain then you have a real problem. Sorry for the rant.

He just made one 👌 the XT MAX

@@theexplorelife can you tell me more about that? Can't find anything yet... And I can't find the walls for that awning anywhere...

@@theexplorelife not out yet??

Not a well built mate but everything has a price point

I had one last year on my 60 series. I found the forward section annoying because it ment you have to walk all the way around the vehicle twice to set it up plus the 6 poles you have to put up and you definitely need to tie it down as a gust of wind will fold it over your car (ask me how I know). For these reasons I've got an xt awning on the way

@@benjamincallaghn yeah i got sold on it as the best and its good but annoying setting up and its been mounted incorrectly for my 200 series

I’m stoked with my darche 270! I hardly ever use the legs it comes with 😂

Fletcher Rae just makes the vehicle slightly more top heavy mate

Have a look at the Fire to Fork channel, he has one of these on a Prado and you can see it just isn't big enough to cover the last 1/3 of the door. I really like the idea of no legs but can't find one that completely covers the rear door. The Drifta 270 awning appears to be one of the few to completely cover the rear door and some.

@@LebChap hi caleb since this video I have seen the Darche one and it’s perfect. Covers the passenger front door and full barn door. Set up on a prado is that effect

@@anthony.grisan I was considering the Darche as well but couldn't find any photos/videos to confirm if it covered the back door or not. Have you gone with Darche? Their website says no stock until June this year.
