I didn’t really have an issue with the build quality, but the size and price were both a bit disappointing. They should make one that’s 2x size with the same toolset, would probably be ideal

@@joshfenn for the money I expected it to feel completely solid and smooth to use, which mine was not. Yeah, if it was bigger it would be more useful but still overpriced. Thanks for showing some more unusual gear though, and I do like the look of the bit driver, unfortunately I spent the money on the titainer that I should have spent on that!

If you’ve got ‘em, definitely.

I’ve been working on this behind the scenes for a while figuring out the best way to implement it a consistent style for video graphics (with prices). I hesitated for a long time because prices change so frequently but it’s in the to-do list for future videos

Solar is always a great choice, totally get that. Would love the proper Swiss-made some day but this c3 has been great

Probably over engineered and overkill for most of us, but in the best way. I’ve been loving it, going to try out their grip tool soon I think too

@@joshfenn Well the cheaper Met Mo Pocket Black(128.10) + the Pocket Driver Pack(50.46) would be love for the handy dad. Not to mention the convience of it.

So glad to hear you enjoyed it! The algorithm doesn’t seem to be pleased with the low view count but I had a blast making this one

I think next up for me is the Panda ocean racer. So many great designs

Which models did you try? Both are great but I’d definitely give the edge to Edifier with the 1280dbs versus the Eris 3.5

@@joshfenn this both

but its maybe a question of age..

Definitely a classic

Totally agree, they’ve been killing it lately

My external just runs usb 3.2 so I’ve been okay with skipping a thunderbolt cable for it. It’s been plenty fast for my workflow but might be worth waiting until you decide on a drive first, external thunderbolt drives are pretty rare but great from what I hear

For sure! Carry on only but anything under 100Wh is allowed, this comes in at 99.5

My two favorites! I actually have a full length video coming out tomorrow covering both in more detail, just finished it up a few minutes ago, scheduled for 8am PDT

@@joshfenn that’s awesome! I’m definitely going to watch!

Just went live! czcams.com/video/27JwdmwOd1s/video.html

Don’t know of any off the top of my head but that’d be interesting! The mini kadet is still big enough for me to keep one inside though

Lots of mental work along the way for me as well

Haha I totally get what you mean, it’s been wild diving in and (trying) to learn. This is just the tip of the iceberg for the true hobbyists out there

Thank you!

Haha just 5-10 more years

For sure! Works just like a normal network at home

So glad to hear it, thanks for the support!

Great idea!

Congrats, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the tip! Making a note to check them out sometime soon

That’s a mobile hotspot that provides an internet connection, this is a router that works in conjunction with an internet connection (mobile, wired, or WiFi) and provides added security and customization

The price is definitely tough. They have a couple of variants that are a bit less expensive but not a huge discount or anything. Built extremely well though for anyone that can swing it, it’ll probably outlive all of us haha.

@@joshfenn Speaking of cars, that would be a great video for you: EDC car kit. Tools, neon vest, flashlights, jump starter, road hazard flashers, multitool, tire inflater, charging brick, first aid, etc.

Been wanting to do this one for a few years! My car is old and I spend quite a bit of time out in the backcountry, always good to have a solid emergency kit around if you get stranded.

Might vary depending on location but it’s under the 100Wh limit for TSA, I haven’t had any issues

USB-C would be a great addition, AAA battery is probably better than micro usb at least, I’ve still got a few legacy micro usb items and they drive me nuts haha

Thanks! Had an awesome time testing out the new bags, was way more impressed than I had anticipated

Don’t have the pouch to confirm but checking the dimensions it should fit fine (3.5” vs 5.5”)

@@joshfenn planning to buy one ... but waiting to your video and recommendation ...

Thanks so much for the support!

Yeah they’re definitely emergency use only with the card style which is a bit unfortunate. Love the idea for an emergency kit though, backup hooks and needles in a backcountry emergency and stored in a way that won’t poke or damage your other gear.

@@joshfenn Good point. Yeah, in an emergency, makes total sense. You have the intact card and who cares if you have to break it apart if it's really necessary?

Always a bummer to hear this, hopefully more and more companies will open up international shipping in time. Appreciate you watching though!

@@joshfenn big fan of your work, the content, crisp and on point commentary, beautiful camera work and a perfect selection of gadgets makes your channel a cut above. Every meal I'm watching a Josh Fenn vid, crying that I couldn't get my hands on these amazing gadgets.

It’s way too much for indoor use haha

​@joshfenn are we into firestrter territory?! 😂

Haha absolutely. Luckily it has a locking feature - this could definitely burn a hole in a pocket or bag

And a Retina.

Thanks! Always have a good time finding stuff for this series

Haha I’ve got a pretty wide range for taste, but rap and hip hop tend to be the most ideal for showing off bass capability. Limited options for songs I’m allowed with copyright too, always a challenge finding the right song for these speaker sample segments.

So happy to hear it, thanks for the support!

It does! Went way over time on that segment and I think I cut the part where I talked about it. Really loving the bag though, the new updates are really great.

@@joshfenn maybe do a short on it 🤔

I don’t have one to check and confirm but based on the dimensions it should fit with room to spare

Not sure which one you mean, but they’re all pretty comfortable haha

Hope this tips help! I spent a few years volunteering for shelter photos and had a great time

Forgot it wasn’t in this! I put my specs but it was cropped out for the short clip, I’m 5’10” 175lbs

Glad to hear it, thanks for the support!

I definitely should have shown the front attachment, I ended up cutting out a lot of that segment because I went on for like 10 minutes and figured people would be upset since it’s a sponsored segment. Loved the bag though and genuinely had a lot to say haha. The viture has been great! I had a few issues testing the optional neckband device they sell but the glasses themselves have been working really well. I’m going to be testing one from XREAL soon, I’m curious how they compare because the Viture has been solid

I can! Haha. It’s from a Canadian brand called HAVEN havenshop.com/products/haven-crescent-shirt-loro-piana-zelander-merino-wool-flannel-gray-fw22?ktk=YjllczNlLTQ3MjVmZDkzZTQ2 Made a video about it a couple months ago too if you’re interested: czcams.com/video/th51OJeeq9U/video.html

@@joshfenn thanks!

It can be powered by a battery bank so I suppose you could! Probably would have to use a mobile hotspot or phone tethering but it should work fine while moving

Anything under 100Wh is allowed, this one comes out to 99.5. 101-160Wh is allowed with special permission beforehand as well www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/lithium-batteries-100-watt-hours-or-less-device

@@joshfenn probably in the USA.

… and europe

@@joshfennI’m glad you answered “I don’t think” is the worst answer ever unless it’s backed up Thanks for clearing that up

It definitely is a bit rubbery, it reminds me a lot of the front face on the AER tech pack. It seems to clean up a lot easier than a normal fabric for dirt and grime and should hold up pretty well to scuffs from what I can tell so far
