The xTool S1 40W is the most impressive and safest laser I’ve reviewed so far. It can cut wood up to 20mm thick and engrave at 36,000mm/minute or 600mm/s.

EcoFlow Delta 2 detailed review | Best all-round portable power station?
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?
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
great video. hows the processing time on older phones? was it slower than your old computer?
This is awesome. I’m getting the Makita version. Mainly for blowing off my saws on site
Great video, informative yet concise - thank you!
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.
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.
Which headlamp should I buy for night fishing? I'm so confused. Please tell me just 1 model, the price is not important, as long as it is of good quality.
Depends if you need a red light?
@@TheTechnologyMan Yes, I want the red light feature.
@@TheTechnologyMan I'm also thinking of doing live broadcasts while fishing.Please help me with this.
Very helpful videos thank you. If you had to choose between EcoFlow DELTA 2 and the AC180 and could buy either for the same price which one would you favour?
Tough one - but I slightly prefer the Delta 2.
Great review. Not having a USB C charging is a big negative. Between Maxsound plus, xSoundgo and Motion plus which one would you recommend?
I think it does have USB-C charging now :).
I have one and I find it's picky and clogges a lot with cheap filiment changing the hotend is quite involved
Yes the hotend is awkward to get to as I think I show in video.
This speaker now has USB C and a app now just so you know.
Yes thanks it was updated a while back.
approx how long did it last at the 100w output before overheating?
IIRC around 10 - 20 mins.
Hi Gidon, im looking for some suggestions. I'm in need of ultrawide, 29inch will be a sweep spot for me. Concerns are - they are mostly available in 2560x1080 resolution giving out 96ppi. 1. Will that be easy on eyes ? 2. at arm's distance is text pixelated ?. Are you able to read text (for 6-8 hours a day) at that distance comfortably ? Also, i'll be using it in grayscale mode and in split screen. so what options do you suggest ? Should i go for VA (as major use wll be in monochromatic mode) or IPS. Budget is a concern. Also, typing this form 15 inch screen 109ppi. so u have an idea of the kind of upgrade experience i can have. Awaiting response.
I'm still running the LG 35WN73A which works great for me.
Great test and review. Thanks a lot!
No problem glad it helped!
Very good details video i found so far, Thanks. Does this new display shows amp and voltage? Also would love to see review of sharge 170w too
Glad it helped! Not on this one. I'll be checking out the 170W in a roundup video soon.
can I put it in the charger even if they have more than 20% left, to keep the battery power further on (if you know what I mean?)
Yes you can quite happily top up Li-ion batteries. They have no memory.
@@TheTechnologyMan do you unplug the charger at night?
I am a newbie to 3d printing and in fact don't even own a machine yet and have been looking at many reviews on the K1 Max. I have to say this is the most indepth review I have yet seen. Thankyou.
That's great to hear - I'm still enjoying this machine - need to do an update video.
Boost и Jbl не могут сравниваться с Soundcore 2, так как у них разная мощность 20 W против 12 W. Конечно они будут звучать по ражному. Boost звучит хоть и "замылено" басом, но более насыщенно, чем Jbl, которая в в свою очередь демонстрирует четкое звучание. Мне звучание Boost и Jbl не сильно нравятся, нет в них золотой середины, каждый хорош по своему. Soundcore 2 идеален в своем ценовом сегменте,
The Soundcore 2 is still great (the latest version)!
