    The USB C port says PD 3.0, which is a voltage communication standard. It stands for Power Delivery, and can give up to 20V 5A in some powerbanks/chargers, so it can charge some laptops with up to 100W of power! It is really amazing and you can get boards on Ebay for cheap that allow you to switch the voltage with the button and set the default voltage by holding the button down. You can get 12V out of your powerbank with no boost converter this way!
    On the powerbank it is an input but also an output that can give more than 5V

    I recognized the status LEDs from my GP power bank and a Belkin power bank I've considered and figured they would likely come from the same ODM. So I went looking for Hame as is printed on the PCB, and they do indeed make power banks for GP, Belkin, and other big brands. Surprising to see Lidl source a power bank from a high-profile ODM for their private label brand.

      Yes you are correct they have this rebadged under other bigger brand names but same power bank. It is a good one as real capacity as tested it as well with my electronic load and used it for over two years and been solid. My favorite is the mi power bank 3 pro 20000mah as does 45w and had that power bank for years as used it for my portable solder iron that uses QC protocol when out on field and need portable. Actually better then the POS Anker 150w power bank that died twice and was replaced .

    The video and audio quality greatly increased with the new camera! Nice!
    The USB-Type C port on the powerbank can be used as input and output, and it should support the "Power Delivery" (PD) protocol. With that, the charging device and the charged device can negotiate the voltage between 5, 9, 12, 15 or even 20V if both sides support it of course. Most devices do not support the full range though. Nice that this standardized feature becomes available in more and more powerbanks and phones, and thus allows charging at maximum power.
    Also if you want to overcomplicate the USB meter even more, I think you can connect it via Bluetooth to your smartphone... Just search for "Ruideng" in the App store.

    Though most people nowadays just use their phone for recording, there are phones nowadays that do a really good job at taking photos.
    Also, this seems like a really nice power bank, so I might get one when I see it to replace my ageing 10,000mAh and 3,000mAh 5V/2A (or 5V/1A) power banks (I also have a couple of other ones to test).

    This simple device allows you to measure the capacity of an accumulator or rechargeable battery (measured in mAh / Ah) and discharge energy (in Wh). It is suitable for NiCd and NiMH cells and accu-packs (1-12 cells), lead acid (flooded, VRLA, SLA) batteries up to 12V, Li-Ion and Li-Pol (1-4 cells), but also for other types such as LiFePO4, NiZn, alkaline, etc., with a total voltage of up to 20V. Discharge current can be selected from 0.01 to 2.56 A. This will allow you for example to check the the health of the battery, the efficiency of the charging method or to detect counterfeit batteries (the market is flooded with those in recent years). It also allows the maintenance of the battery by discharging it down to the required voltage prior to charging or to discharge the battery to a suitable voltage to prepare it for a long storage. You can even measure the capacity of a single use (disposable) batteries, but those become useless after the measurement.
    Description:
    The hearth of this battery analyzer (capacity meter) is microprocessor IO1 - Atmel AVR ATmega8A, ATmega8 or ATmega8L. Program to download and configuration bits setting is below. The working principle is simple: Connect the fully charged battery to the capacity meter. The battery is discharged via the meter and it determines its capacity and energy. The discharge current can be digitally selected in the range of 0.01 to 2.56 A in steps of 0.01 A. Discharge is terminated when reaching the end voltage (cut-off voltage), which is also digitally selectable. IO1 is clocked by an internal 8 MHz RC oscillator. Because the accuracy of the measurement depends on the time measurement, 32 768 Hz timing crystal is used. Battery voltage (20V maximum value) is sensed by a divider with R9, R11, P1. Adjust the trimmer P1 so that the value on the display (in actual voltage display mode) equals the real voltage. The battery is discharged through the transistor T1 (IRLB8743). The discharge current is sensed by shunt resistor R16 (0.24 ohm). The discharge current is stabilized by an operational amplifier (OpAmp) IO2. The reference voltage is obtained by pulse width modulation (PWM) from the terminal OC1A (PB1 - pin 15) of integrated circuit IO1. The PWM signal passes through the resistive divider and the low pass filter R10, R12, P2 and C7 and this produces a DC voltage proportional to the desired discharging current. Voltage on the gate of T1 is then controlled by IO2 integrated circuit so that the voltage at the shunt R16 corresponds to this reference voltage. Current callibration process: Set P3 to center position. Connect a battery capable of at least 2.56 A discharge current and a current meter in series with it. Set the desired discharge current to 2.56 A, start the discharge (long press of TL1 button), then set trimmer P2 so that the actual discharge current equals to the chosen value (2.56A). Then set the discharge current to 0.01 A. Then correct the offset of inputs of the OpAmp IO2 using P3 - set P3 so that the actual current is 0.01A. Transistor T1 is to be placed on a heat sink corresponding to the maximum necessary power dissipation during discharge (P = U . I). T1 is a logic-MOSFET, which can operate with only 5V on its gate. If a standard type of MOSFET used, it is theoretically possible to power the IO2 integrated circuit from a higher voltage (it may be the voltage at the input of 7805), but I recommend a logic-MOSFET. IO3 doesn't need to have a heatsink, if the supply voltage is not very high (less than cca 15V). LED1 indicates that discharge and measurement is running. Diodes D1 and D2 ensure that the T1 transistor is fully off when the discharging process is not active. The buttons TL1 to TL3 are used to control the device. As a display device, 4-digit LED display with common anode is used. The cathodes of the display are connected to port D, the anodes to bits 2-5 of port B. Four-digit display can be set up as two double digit LD-D036UPG-C, LD-D028UR-C, LD-D036UR-C or LD-D056UR-C (types with very high brightness). Superbright display allows you to omit the usual transistors to amplify the anode current. The display is controlled in multiplex. Multiplex frequency is about 100 Hz. R1...R8 determine the display current and thus its brightness. They are chosen so that the current does not exceed the maximum output current of the AVR pin (40 mA). Battery capacity meter is powered from a supply of about 8 - 30V. Current requirment is about 15-45 mA, depending on the number of lit segments and values ​​of R1... R8 (most consumed current is caused by LED display). Capacitors C5, C6, C9 and C10 should be as close as possible to the integrated circuit IO1. In series with the tested battery, connect appropriate fuse, otherwise failure of the capacity meter (for example failure of current control or T1 failing short circuit) or reverse polarity of battery can cause fire! It is also recommended to use a fuse at the + power input.
    Control:
    The battery meter is controlled with 3 buttons: "Mode", "+" and "-". Mode button switches six display states:
    • 1) Display the actual voltage (0.00 V - 20.4 V).
    • 2) Measured energy in Wh (Watt hours). Displays "En" symbol and then the value. During the discharging process it increments. After the discharge is finished, it shows the result.
    • 3) Measured capacity in Ah (Ampere hours). Displays the "Ah" symbol and then the value. During the discharging process it increments. After the discharge is finished, it shows the result.

    The "aperture issue" is why many video creators have so many blinding lights over their desks, as they can then record with a fixed aperture of f11 or so in order to get a high depth of field. You basically can never have enough light to get all the focus that you want ;). This is why BigClive records with a fixed focus and tries to constantly re-adjust focus to whatever height that he's working at. I would guess that he uses a wider aperture and lower light level than some creators and thus has to make sure his focus is always correct. Auto-focus systems can drive both creators and viewers insane :). I don't make youtube content, but if I did I would use a fixed focus rather than fight with an auto-focus.

      I'm using about 200W total of fluorescent tubes on my ceiling and also about 100W total of LEDs shining from below onto the white ceiling. I don't want to shine the LEDs directly on what I'm filming, it makes horrible sharp shadows. So now about 300W for lighting. The camera is set to f5.6 now. Smaller aperture makes the ISO go to high and the video would be grainy. Having a bigger (1") sensor, the camera can still keep the noise low at 3200 ISO, but I'd like the ISO to be at most 1600. Which means I'd had to double the lighting power. And If I wanted to use the smallest aperture the camera can have, which is f11, that would be about 4x smaller aperture area and so I'd have to further increase the light power by the factor of 4. So for f11 and 1600 ISO, I'd have to use 2400W of lighting :D.

    5:55 This one is USB-C port. It is at the moment replacing microUSB on many phones and portable electronics. Even some notebooks are already using it as their charging port.
    14:05 Blue LED indicates that powerbank successfully negotiated larger voltage using some of fast charging protocols like QC 2.0/3.0, Samsung AFC or for instance Power Delivery on USB-C port.
    PD 3.0 just says it supports USB-C Power Delivery protocol at version 3.0. At this power it is mainly meant for Apple fast charging and some current Android phones. Also the USB-C port was trying to draw more current from your charger because it can officially support 3A or 5A (with e-mark chipped cable). USB-C tends also to have more firm connection and does not wiggle that much compared to microUSB.
    Actually this powerbank is almost identical to Lamax 20 000 mAh, it has same layout, connectors, double LED for indicating fast charge protocols in input/output. Only difference is that both USB-A ports support fast charge protocols unlike on that LIDL one which has only one such a port. Lastly instead of this hybrid cable it was shipped with 20cm USB-A to USB-C cable. With any of my USB-C PD power supplies I was able to perform full charge in ~ 6 hours.
    And I also must agree with you, that some USB connectors (especially type A and micro USB) are rubbish. USB-C on the other hand does not suffer from this and I was able to get up to 9V 2,05A even when I was moving the powerbank a lot. With decent USB-A to microUSB cable I also achieved same voltage and current, but even slight movement dropped current even down to 1A
