Unboxing of the NIID Mega Radiant Sling through Kickstarter
Unboxing the NIID Mega Radiant Sling
I backed this product through Kickstarter. This is my forth time backing this creator.
The version here is the gray cutproof material version of the Mega Radiant Sling which was $20 extra on Kickstarter, and initially it was only limited to the first 100 backers. Later on because of popular demand, they offered more of this colour to other backers.
It’s a lot bigger than the previous iteration of the Radiant Sling. It can hold my 13” Macbook Pro, and still has plenty of space, so I think tit should be able hold a 14” laptop without any problems.

How to Change the Batteries on a Slinger Remote Control
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed rokem
This video gives you instructions on how to change the batteries on a Slinger remote control. The batteries inside the remote control are 2 x CR2016 lithium batteries. Use a precision screwdriver size #0 or #00. Standard screwdrivers are too big and will strip your tiny screws. Use a pen’s pocket clip to push out the batteries. I bought the precision screwdrivers from a dollar store.

Shiftcam ProGrip Unboxing Video from Kickstarter Backer v2
zhlédnutí 940Před 2 lety
This is an unboxing video of the Shiftcam ProGrip from someone who backed the Kickstarter campaign in early 2020. This was supposed to be shipped back in November 2020, but arrived on Sep 16th, 2021. It’s not a full review, but just an unboxing and my first impressions. I didn’t go into the details of the ProLenses that came with it. Maybe I’ll do a video of that later on. By the way, the phone...
Kinda sad the back compartment lost it's 2 little pockets
is the excess strap dangling after shortening? any way to hide the excess?
The excess strap is mainteined and held by a pull tab, so it isn’t annoying like it is on the originial Radiant model. I’ll posted a couple of pics in the Community section of my channel.
Nice unboxing video! Would you say that the durability of the non-mega version is good for you so far? And how do you think the mega version will probably compare to the original for durability? Hoping this bag will last me for life like my Crumpler has.
Can 15 inch MacBook Air fit in?
I very much doubt it. The company’s own specs says that it can accommodate only up to a 14” laptop. Give me the length and height and I can try to check it with a tape measure.
0.45X9.4X13.4(inches)
Thanks for helping
@@ryanwithcubing369 I made a 2D cardboard template to the width and height you advised. It probably won’t fit in the PC compartment, but it will fit in the middle section next to the PC compartment. Please note that this was a mostly flat non-rigid piece of cardboard. Height isn’t the main issue. Width is probably the main concern. The main opening of the bag is about 35.5 cm. If you want to be 100% sure, ask the manufacturer about it to be safe. Ask them if a 15” Air will fit.
Ok thanks for telling me in detail🙏🏻
Hello, did you become before it arrived you a shipping number?
I got my tracking number on April 13th. I was probably one of the first to get it.
gracias por el video bro, estoy esperando el mio que llegue a colombia ;)
How do you like the colour?
Yeah, I love it.
@@Codesta Sweet. Do you think it looks better in real life than in video? It kinda looked a bit rough. Do you think you can upload a picture of it when you wear it with like a dark jacket? 😅😅
Didn't know the back side is a solid black. 😮 How is the cut proof Fabric feels? Is it too rough that you can get a scratch when you slide your arms?
@@nate.c524 it has a rough feel but it doesn’t hurt when rubbing on it.
@@TerrnazI posted a couple of photos as you requested with me wearing a black jacket. Go to my Channel and look in Community. Hope it helps.
Also anyone tried shooting tennis balls from a Pickleball Slingerbag?
Anyone use or have noticed if an adjustment of height with a 'fold out stool' under this slinger ( including occilator helps in better delivery of balls?)
only negative you cannot turn it upside down to have a base to easily take balls out.
may i ask what one can do when the bottom rubber part is wear and tear...where can i buy new one to fit?
You would have to contact Slinger or a distributor/reseller of Slinger.
Thanks. You saved me £18 buying a new remote.
Glad I could help.
Hi ! First thanks for the video. Do you know how I can fix my slinger ball. He don’t turn inside and takes no ball.
It’s hard to know the problem with your machine unless I have more information. If the plate holding the balls doesn’t turn it could mean that there is a ball jam deep inside the machine.
Very helpful thank you
For the ball to not get stuck I applied the "Professional-Grade Moldable Plastic Pellets by Polly Plastics" from amazon. I applied it on that panel in a slopy mold and glued it. To fix the issue of the ball not feeding I molded more of that noted mold and shaped the mold so that the crosswise shaft is further raised up a bit more than an inch and glued it on. On the dial section for adjusting the ball height from the luanch pad I appied a white "Fine Paint Marker for Rock Painting-Stone, Ceramic, Metal, Glass, Wood,Set of 6 Paint Pens High Volume Ink High Volume Ink for DIY Craft" from Amazon. I applied it on the black line marker for better visibility even from a distance. On the opening of the bag from the top entrance to place the racket I placed an elastic fiber string crosswise (made two a heated metal hole on both sides) and that is where I hang my towel. There's more but this is enough for now. Thanks for letting me share.
The marketing of Slingerbag is great. This product has nothing to do with a ballmachine. The concept is great but you buy a ball bag, ball pickup tool, phone charger and a ball machine with only 1 shooting wheel so it can only shoot low speed topspin balls. The people that bought a Slingerbag, have never seen a real ball machine. In this video you see also the problems or weaknesses of the Slingerbag. And really there are good ball machines for the price of a Slingerbag but these ball machines don't market their product as Dunlop does. And when you ever bought a Slingerbag, you won't tell others that it really is a poor kind of ballmachine. You only see the videos of "people that are so happy with it because they have never tried a real ball machine". As ball machine specialist, tennis trainer and engineer I can only say "yes, the price is good" and nothing more.
Please show us the ball machines that are at the same price as Slingerbag. We would like to see what you’re talking about. By the way, I got mine as a Kickstarter backer at a lower price with little to no marketing.
Thanks for making this! I appreciate it
Looks complicated, excess materials and small capacity duffel.
Thank you for this video. I got a machine today. It is helpful!
Can you post the link on Amazon where I can buy the air pads please? Thanks a lot
I didn’t buy the air cushions. I get them sometimes when I buy things from Amazon inside the box for cushioning of the goods.
Excellent ! I was worried about to bring slinger bag as checked baggage in the aircraft from EUA to my country (because the batteries ) Now I got that I can remove the battery and bring with me as my carry-on luggage Many thanks ! I will buy it
Very helpful. Thank you!
AWESOME
Fantastic tips
Any tips on fixing the turn table inside the machine not turning. Thanks!
Sorry, I don’t know. You should contact Slinger support by email.
Mine doesn't work. It can pick up 2 balls and the weight of any additional balls makes them fall out. Totally useless.
If the balls are old and don’t have much fibre left on them they would probably fall out. Are the balls new or old? You could try inserting felt stickers inside the tube. The felt stickers that are used under the feet of chairs to stop them from damaging the floor.
Can you use the Slinger and charge continuously when playing with another battery. Example like the Slinger battery and then the Slinger get charge by another battery. Like a cable charging the Slinger while your playing to extend the play time.
I’ve never charged it while I’m using it. Others have suggested just purchasing an extra Slinger battery, taking it with you and swapping it out when the first battery is drained.
@@Codesta ahh thanks I see. Hmm, I wonder would it catch on fire if you continuously charge it while playing, I guess I'll be the one to test it out, I don't know, lol.
Any tips for making the ball tube more adept at actually holding the balls? Occasionally some balls slip past the teeth at the end of the tube making an even bigger PITA to pick up the balls to reload.
I’ve never a problem with balls falling out. Could be that your balls are getting too old. I suggest replacing with newer balls.
my charging brick is so hot, making me a little nervous about sleeping while it charges
I’ve never timed it, but I would say it takes about 4 hours to charge. Maybe you could set an alarm to remind yourself when to check it and turn it off.
Very helpful.
Thanks.
How long do you have to charge the battery and do all the lights need to be on to know it’s fully charged ? Only have two lights showing charged for quite a long time it works but only two lights show…
Charged battery overnight no power nothing no lights indicate power nothing….🤬😵💫☹️🙄🤷♀️ not even adapter indicates any light….after a few in’s & out’s and jiggling attachment making sure of good connection It shows lights on but only two showing…. take.forever to charge….hopefully with a few more hours it’ll ‘WORK’…..
Hello! I just purchased a new slinger. I tried charge either from the machine or directly from the battery the indicator keeps green without red. Charging over night and turning the machine on still no lights come on. Any solutions? Thanks!
Same with my bag just received
@@pencilmug Mine has been replaced
Very disappointed … I hope your new bag is working …!
@@pencilmug It’s working. Just need to more time to know it.
Bought my Slinger a year ago. Best video seen for charging.
How often should you change the batteries in the remote? I am asking because my Slinger doesn't turn on. I have no idea what the problem could be.
Join the Slinger owners forum on Facebook. Many users there that can help. facebook.com/groups/336169403615147/?ref=share
Make sure attachment that goes on adapter is clicked in all the way…you will hear it click into place…. Hope this helps …
Awesome hacks, love the air cushions idea. Thank you!
Super helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Great video and tips. I just got my slinger, would you happen to know if the slinger can be stored on its back? or is it strictly meant to be upright? (wondering how to store it properly in my trunk)
I transport mine on it’s back, but usually have it upright when not in use. If you plan to leave it in the trunk for long periods, remove the battery for charging and storage.
@@Codesta thanks!
I have seen where about 10-12 balls remain in the hopper when it 'runs out of balls'. I think this is the greatest design oversight. I attached some stiff plastic grid material, cut to size, to the existing mesh liner. I used a craft supply: "Rug Hooking Mesh Canvas" availavbe for a few dollars at the local art/crafts supply store.
I think this is one of the major design flaws in the Slinger, but I would vote the charger as the biggest design mistake. People often think that their Slinger is fully charged when they see the green light when that isn’t always the case.
Great video! Thanks so much!
Where did u get that screw set?
Sorry, I can’t remember. Try looking in the dollar store or home improvement store.
These are super! Thanks!
🙋 Promo-SM!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
I just got mine today and have no idea how to attach the straps...
This may be the only way I get to see the bag. My package has been en route from local post office for a month
😂😂😂
Wow!! You did that! Great job man.
