    Hi John. I don’t think that any of your regular viewers like me are bothered by ebike reviews or powerstations. I’m glad to see any video of you or Mandy. Considering the situation she is in. So keep up with what you’re doing. And hang in there after Mandy’s treatments get over to Spain 🇪🇸 i love it there as well. A great compliment to the edit quality of your videos that contain music. Most channels blast the music level so you turn down the volume, and when there is talk you have to turn it up again. That’s not needed in your videos. 👍

    John just wanted to see how you are? I know Mandy has rightfully got tons of online love and support. But sometimes the partner gets forgotten and these last few months must have felt overwhelming for you. Hope you’re ok ❤

    I have no intention of ever buying a bike but I often watch your bike reviews. I think they are extremely useful for anyone in the market for one because, lets face it, most folk about to purchase something these days will check online for reviews before they buy.

    Hi John, that was interesting. I enjoy listening to discussions on most things, and your content never fails to give me something to think about. The links to vanlife, either full-time or just as a holiday vehicle are always relevant, who isn't interested in a new bike or a more capable power station to make their van adventures and everyday activities more rewarding. There are lots of drone videos, but not many associated with vlogging and integration with journey recording, though I see lots of comments about how good someone's video edits are and how talented the editor is. So,I'd find that interesting, and it could possibly get me to get out more often with mine. Anyway, thanks for the vlog, and positive vibes to you both. Take care. 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦

    Obviously the most important thing at the moment is you getting time to support Mandy, and hope her treatment goes smoothly.🙏
    But when you get time I am really looking forward to your proposed Inside/Outside 12 months on updates on your van.
    Also I always look forward to you going through your camera & drone gear, as well as your editing gear and workflow 👍

    What about a top 5 of the e bikes you've reviewed this year or the same for power banks or solar panels lithium batteries etc. yes I know as time goes on technology improves so things will change over the years.im personally hoping that in the next 3 years motorhome manufacturers will install lithium and 300 watt solar along with compressor fridges as standard to reduce the reliance on gas or maybe even start including diesel water heaters. Keep up the good work and stay safe

As to that listing tab - I've noticed elsewhere such things appearing and I suspect it is something to do with the ever-developing AI algorhythmic processes. Some of it really useful, like this you've just done - some of it has me asking... "wwwhhhyyyyy?????!!!!" YAM xx

    Is it really a year since your van build? Wow that’s gone quick. I think it’s good that you review all these things, as a novice like me can then make a better decision on whether it would be suitable, it saves people like me a lot of money as is a minefield to someone like me. Hope you are keeping well to and looking after yourself, take care😊

    Silly question
    Just need to hear u say it lol
    I have a s2000 and a Roamer 230ah lithium battery
    Can link both together on the solar charger (victron) so that they charge at the same time.
    At min I can just unplug my battery to charge the s2000 from solar panels
    But can I wire both up together ?
    Just make life easier
    Or is there an easier route
    I’m same as u my s2000 is used for cooking ie air fryer and the cooking pot

    Drones, yes please to a review. Talking about e-bikes, I picked my very first e-bike up today at 11 am and by 11:10am I was sprawled out in the middle of the road with the bike on top of me. What a plonker, and yes, the day before I was given training buy the company I bought it from.

    Hi John, just quickly regarding drones, I’m on a canal boat and have one of the original Mavic Pro drones, I’ve only flown it twice since I’ve owned it over 5 years as I’ve been told the rules have changed in uk…? is that correct? I’m worried if I try to fly it “big brother” could block or freeze any updates if any I do? Thanks

    • @GadgetJohn
      @GadgetJohn  Před 2 měsíci +1

      You’re right, the laws on drones have been updated recently. Your drone is over 250 grams and now requires you to register it only and pass a simple online multiple choice test, basics of safe flying. No one is going to stop you flying it, as long as you’re flying it safely.
      Check out the rules here www.caa.co.uk/drones/rules-and-categories-of-drone-flying/introduction-to-drone-flying-and-the-uk-rules/

      I do have a hover air but that’s a flying camera rather than a drone, in my opinion anyway. Since the hover air just follows a person it’s nowhere near as advanced as the DJI drones I have.
