Budget Cycle Computer - Coospo BC26 TDCatTech 2022-11-06 | A quick review of the Coospo BC26 cycle computer. If you want a low-cost, simple GPS computer to measure speed, time, altitude and distance accurately, the BC26 will do a great job.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/bc26Let's be clear here. I'm neither a keen cyclist nor an expert on cycle computers. I've seen that you can easily spend upwards of £200 on a cycle computer that will no doubt give you every bit of statistical information about your ride, health and when you last went for a dump.That really wasn't what I wanted. I just wanted to get an idea of how fast I was cycling. At £30, this looked like a reasonable choice, so I took a chance. So far, so good.If you enjoyed this quick look at the Coospo BC26, let me know in the comments and consider subscribing to TDCatTech. Also, if you know of any other good quality, low-price cycle computers, let others know in the comments.#coospo #cyclecomputer #cycling My Production Music & Stock Video===================================I use Artlist & Artgrid for most of the production music & stock video on TDCatTech.

Nexigo Iris 4K Webcam - Full Review and Demo TDCatTech 2022-10-30 | Filmed on the Iris webcam, this review looks at all the features of the Nexigo Iris and has a complete walkthrough of all the menus and configuration options. It also has direct comparisons between the MacBook webcam in low-light conditions.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/nexigoirisThese higher price options from Nexigo (N970p, Iris) are a massive step up from regular sub £100 cameras. They offer flexibility and complete customisation of advanced camera settings, including exposure, shutter, gain, white balance, sharpness and noise reduction.All these settings are stored on-camera rather than in software so that if you move your camera and use it on a different device, the configuration remains. All webcams should be made in this way. Unfortunately, they're not.The raw performance, image quality and features of this camera make you forgive the fact that it's big, bulky, heavy (for a webcam) and a bit dated-looking. It's expensive, but it's really much more than a webcam.Hopefully, the demo and images in the video will help you decide if it's right for you.00:00 - Pros & Cons00:45 - Nexigo Iris vs MacBook01:52 - Audio Test05:42 - Features Overview17:03 - Menu and Configuration27:45 - Noise Reduction & Low Light Test30:55 - Final ThoughtsNOTE: This is a 4K webcam, but I have filmed and captured this in FHD because, in most cases, that's the highest you will ever be streaming via a video call (more likely HD) in 2022, so this gives you a good indication of how well the camera will perform for others. I will do several follow-up videos looking at the 4K aspects and the HDMI output.#nexigo #iris #4k My Production Music===============================I use Artlist for most of the production music you hear on TDCatTech.

Wearable Speaker for Running or Cycling - Tribit StormBox Micro 2 - Review TDCatTech 2022-10-06 | My first impressions and review of the Tribit StormBox Micro 2. This tiny, fully waterproof Bluetooth speaker is designed for portability above all else. It's perfect for running, cycling or even in a business environment as a speakerphone when you're not in the office.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/tribitm2I really like this speaker. The pure simplicity of the design and function and the fantastic way this can attach easily to a belt, handlebars, backpack even just around the strap of a handbag makes this something you can use everywhere.Since filming this video, I have used this speaker whilst cycling. I'm not trying to disturb anyone with music, but it's so much safer than using earbuds which, even with transparency mode, distracts you from your surroundings. With the speaker on your shoulder, you don't need it loud to hear even whilst cycling at speed. The three main buttons on the top are very simple to reach if you need to adjust the volume.

Tronsmart T7 30W Bluetooth Speaker - Review & Audio Test TDCatTech 2022-09-28 | A look at the Tronsmart T7 Bluetooth speaker. In this video, I'm covering the speaker specs, testing the audio quality and giving you my good and bad points.Check Price: geni.us/trt7If you're just after a summary, this speaker is definitely worth a look. The sound quality is excellent, with surprisingly solid bass and a much bigger sound than the speaker size would suggest.Battery life could be better, and charge time is quite long by today's standard.As is normal these days, you can buy two and make a stereo pair. I highly recommend this. Not because I'm trying to get you to buy more speakers. I don't care about that. As a stereo pair, these go from being good to fantastic. They can easily fill a large room with sound, and the cylinder shape and lanyards make them, so simple to install anywhere temporarily.00:00 - Introduction00:40 - Tronsmart T7 Specs04:29 - The Good07:14 - Audio Test13:12 - The Bad16:50 - Conclusion#tronsmart #t7 #bluetoothspeaker My Production Music===============================I use Artlist for most of the production music you hear on TDCatTech.

EcoFlow App - Full Walkthrough & Tutorial TDCatTech 2022-09-19 | A demo of the EcoFlow app describing all aspects of power input, output, smart battery control and additional settings. I'm running this on macOS, but it's available for iOS, iPad and Android.I do not go into adding or removing a device in this tutorial. It's about what you can do with the app and how it works. If you're looking to buy an EcoFlow product, this is worth looking at to see if the app is something you could use.I use it much more than I ever thought I would, particularly since I found that the iPad version runs nicely on my MacBook. It means I can run it in the background without it taking over my phone and using too much battery.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/deltamax00:00 - Introduction to EcoFlow App00:30 - The Homescreen00:49 - Main Screen01:50 - Outputs04:45 - Inputs05:45 - Extra Smart Battery06:07 - Settings & PreferencesThanks for watching.

Anker 535 PowerHouse 512Wh LiFePO4 Battery Review - What A Disappointment TDCatTech 2022-09-18 | A quick review of the Anker 535 PowerHouse LiFePo4 512Wh battery. Although this contains the current preferred cell type, it seems to be a step down in quality and is simply not the best buy out there today.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/ank535I recommend watching this before you buy, so you're aware of these issues. I'm sure, as always, there are many people out there that love this product. There's a lot of voluntary bias here because I feel really let down by the quality of the Anker 535. I was expecting so much better for £600.When I put the Anker next to my EcoFlow product, this feels like cheap, mass-produced junk.I'll list the problems here if you don't feel like watching the video.1. Faulty DC 12V car socket2. Removal of 5521 sockets.3. Only 1 x USB-C and only 60W.4. Max 120W input (slow to charge).5. Cheap mains inverter fan (sounds faulty).6. Weak mains sockets.7. Poor overall build quality (cheap plastic feel).8. Faulty DC charging input.9. Light on the front (blinding when looking for sockets).10. Light now only has 1 brightness level.11. Removal of the torch from the side.Thanks for watching. Please consider subscribing if you like honest reviews.#anker #powerhouse #offgrid
EcoFlow Delta Max - Things You Dont Hear In Reviews TDCatTech 2022-09-10 | My review of the Delta Max after a month of use. This video is not about technical testing. It's an overview of the spec, the good points but most importantly, the bad stuff that many reviews don't cover.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/deltamaxI'm a big fan of this product, and there are many of you out there that will definitely be able to live with the bad things I talk about in this video. I wanted to focus on the bad because I have watched a lot of reviews on this product, and they tend to be full of praise. A lot of the time, one can only feel that this is because they have been sent a product for testing by EcoFlow.I bought my own. I'm using it to power everything in my office and studio at home. This isn't a typical use case, and there may be better solar products and batteries that would better suit my use, but I hope you still find this insight useful.00:00 - Introduction00:33 - Delta Max Capacity00:59 - Power Outputs01:53 - Power Inputs03:20 - The Bad Points12:16 - Final ThoughtsThanks for watching, and let me know in the comments what setup you have to help remove your reliance on the grid.#ecoflow #deltamax #review My Production Music===============================I use Artlist for most of the production music you hear on TDCatTech.

Beautiful Tottiford & Trenchford Reservoirs - Low Water Levels TDCatTech 2022-09-03 | Some aerial footage of Trenchford and Tottiford reservoirs on Dartmoor showing the low water levels after the dry UK summer of 2022.I don't know anything about how high reservoirs should be, but I spoke to some locals who assured me that this was particularly low. Also, Google Street View confirms that winter water levels are many metres higher.Tottiford and Trenchford are a part of a triumvirate, including Kennick to the north, which feeds Tottiford. Together they are supposed to contain 2,156 million litres of water. I'd be very interested to know how many litres they contained when I filmed this. It must be well under 800 million. Tottiford was built in 1861, and Trenchford in 1903.I hope you enjoyed this short video, if only for a relaxing view of the wonderful Dartmoor.#tottiford #trenchford #dartmoor
Amazing 140W Charge Speeds! - Anker 737 Power Bank TDCatTech 2022-08-24 | An overview and a quick test of the Anker 737 86.4Wh 140W PD 3.1 power bank. I've been using this to power my work laptop, and it happily keeps me going all day.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/ank73700:00 - Introduction02:10 - Charging & Powering my Laptop03:10 - The Smart Screen Display Info04:29 - Charging the Power Bank at 140W09:00 - Fast Charging an iPhone 13 Pro11:33 - Final ThoughtsThis may not be the biggest capacity power bank, but it's very portable. It can shift its power around quickly and, with the ever-increasing use of gallium nitride tech (GaN), fairly efficiently. I wanted something to keep me going on my laptop for an entire working day.The initial charge of the laptop sucks out power at about 50W, which depletes the battery very quickly. However, once charged to 100%, the laptop gently consumes the juice at 5-10W, and the battery can keep me going all day.It's overpriced, but it's a new product from Anker, so they always are. Paying £140 for a few cells and some tech is ridiculous. This will come down in price or become available on a sale at some time, and you will get an absolute bargain.The battery I use in this demo is the Anker PowerHouse II 400 - geni.us/anker533#anker #737 #powerbank My Production Music===============================I use Artlist for most of the production music you hear on TDCatTech.

A Bit Of A Mess - Soundcore Motion Boom Plus TDCatTech 2022-06-01 | An unboxing, overview and audio test of the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus. I was really looking forward to the release of this speaker following the wonderful Motion Boom but this has a major problem!🛒 Check Motion Boom Plus Price: geni.us/mboomplus🛒 Check Motion Boom Price: geni.us/mboomIf you don't feel like watching the video, the Motion Boom Plus is a great speaker in so many ways. The size makes it pack a massive punch power wise. It has excellent battery life and all the features you'd expect from a modern Bluetooth speaker.The only problem is that it just sounds a bit rough. It's hard to place exactly because the moment people talk about audio, strange adjectives get thrown around in attempt to linguistically capture something that is felt but can really be verbally expressed.So I'll go with harsh, over-bright and splashy. In many cases, almost to the point of annoyance. It's called a Motion Boom Plus but, sonically it's actually a Motion Boom minus because it does not sound as good as the little brother.Thanks for watching and please give it a thumbs up or subscribe to the TDCatTech channel for more reviews and critiques.00:00 - Introducing the Motion Boom Plus00:48 - Feature Overview03:28 - Unboxing04:20 - Look Around The Speaker04:42 - A Bit About Pairing Speakers07:15 - Audio Tests16:42 - Testing the Carry Strap18:03 - Conclusion#soundcore #motionboomplus #reviewMy Production Music===============================I use Artlist for most of the production music you hear on TDCatTech.

I Cancelled My Order - DJI Mini 3 Pro - Should You Upgrade? TDCatTech 2022-05-27 | Have you been enticed into spending yet more money because of the release of the Mini 3 Pro? Is it really worth upgrading? The Mini 3 Pro has some great new features but do they make the Mini 2 redundant. This is my attempt to justify cancelling my order for the Mini 3 Pro. It's just not always necessary to have the latest and greatest.🛒 Check Mini 2 Price - geni.us/djimini2tdcat🛒 Check Mini 3 Price - geni.us/djimini3protdcat00:00 - Introduction00:30 - Are You Considering An Upgrade?02:39 - 48MP Photos04:04 - Portrait Mode04:54 - 4K 60p Footage06:10 - 10-bit Colour08:00 - Active Track & Obstacle Avoidance10:08 - The New Controller12:00 - Quiet Operation12:38 - Final Message13:04 - Sample DJI Mini 2 FootageThis video is about my personal decision to cancel however, the overarching theme of the video is that companies are incredibly skilled at making us feel that we need their new product. Worse than that, we also end up believing that the product that has been perfectly suitable is now virtually worthless and will produce terrible footage.In the case of the Mini 2, that is simply not true and this video includes footage that will hopefully convince you of that. It's still a fantastic drone, and although you can easily convince yourself that you absolutely need all these new features, I bet you don't. Not really.If you're filming professionally, likely, you're not using a Mavic Mini anyway. If you're filming either for fun or for online delivery (like me), you probably think you need much more than you do.I'm not saying I will never upgrade. Technology improves and progresses which is a wonderful thing. However, if you have a Mini 2 that you were happy with a month ago, save yourself some cash and stick with what you've got. Enjoy it.#dji #mini3pro #upgradeSupport the Channel:===============================Links to products are Amazon affiliate links.

Loopback vs Audio Hijack - Whats the Difference? TDCatTech 2022-05-23 | Loopback and Audio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba can seem like very similar products. In this video I'm talking about the core difference between the two applications and demonstrate this on the Mac.If you're after a simple answer and don't want to watch the video...🔊 Audio Hijack is all about re-routing, mixing, processing and recording or streaming audio from multiple sources that already exist on your computer.💻 Loopback creates virtual audio interfaces which can then be used in other software, including Audio Hijack.There we go, that wasn't too hard. Please consider watching the video to see a demonstration of both pieces of software in action.I am a huge fan of Rogue Amoeba software. It's beautifully designed, has a fantastic user interface and works reliably whilst, above all, being incredibly useful. If you do anything audio related on a Mac, these two pieces of software are worth having in your arsenal.NOTE: I purchased the software myself. This is not an advert.

RØDE Wireless GO II vs. GoPro - Wind Noise Test TDCatTech 2022-05-02 | An experiment for my own testing and curiosity today. I'm testing out the Wireless Go II mics to check how well the wind protection works when compared to the straight onboard GoPro mic.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/rodewg2As there was no wind, I decided to go for a ride with my son to check how well we could be understood with the wind hitting us when cycling. The Wireless Go II set has a two mic option so Miles was recorded in channel 1 and I was in channel 2. I mixed it all down in the edit.If you happen to find this video useful, that's great. I'm blown away by how well the RØDE mics perform.

Skylight Condenser Mic - Whats Inside? TDCatTech 2022-04-18 | A completely uninformative and uneducated look inside a condenser mic. 👍🏻 I wanted to see if it's the body that causes this mic to resonate when handled so I decided to take it apart to have a look.This one's just a bit of fun. I wish I had the electronics knowledge to talk you through what everything does inside the mic but unfortunately, I don't so the best I can do is film me having a poke around inside and give you some nice high-resolution video.#condensermic #inside #teardown
Anker Soundcore Motion Boom - My New Favourite Speaker! TDCatTech 2022-04-14 | An unboxing, connection and quick audio test of the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Bluetooth Boombox.Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/mboom (affiliate link)This Bluetooth speaker appealed to me because of its larger, substantial, retro boombox style and decent battery capacity.

It's big, but not too big (still fits in the top compartment of my rucksack) and has decent audio quality with plenty of power.This thing could fill more than a room with sound.

These budget plugs (£35 for 4) come with excellent software which is easy to use but also provides basic daily energy consumption stats. Lovely stuff!!We now use eight of these around the house and they have become a part of our daily routines from making tea in the morning to waking up our son to more data related uses such as saving energy on equipment and monitoring how much we spend on boiling water.

Tecsun PL-880 Pros & Cons - A Short Review TDCatTech 2022-03-11 | Pros and cons of the Tecsun PL-880 after a few weeks of use. Is it worth the nearly £200 asking price or should you look elsewhere?Tecsun on Amazon - geni.us/pl880The short answer is no. It's overpriced for what it is. Although Tecsun seems to be a respected brand in this field, you can probably get a radio that performs equally well for under half the price. it does have a few nice features though in a tech field that is becoming increasingly dated and left in the 1990s.There's not much innovation in this sector so it's nice to find a radio that does some things without feeling like you're using a ZX Spectrum.I've genuinely tried to make this video as short and concise as possible. Do you like this format or do you prefer something a little more in-depth with demonstrations of the problems I'm referring to? I actually can't believe it still came out at over seven minutes!#tecsun #pl880 #reviewMy Production Music===============================I use Artlist for most of the production music you hear on TDCatTech.

Tecsun PL-880 Portable Digital SW Radio - Goods In & First Impressions TDCatTech 2022-02-19 | Unboxing and my first impressions and review of the Tecsun PL-880 portable digital radio. In this video, I take a look around the radio and try to have a scan through the band.🛒 Check Price on Amazon - geni.us/pl88000:00 - Introduction00:10 - Why I Chose This Radio01:20 - Unboxing06:55 - Listen Through the Band09:55 - First Impressions & ReviewThere's something wonderful about a radio. A connection to the world with no reliance on the internet and a device that works with no app dependencies or smartphone integration. It's a shame there's not as much to listen to!I bought the Tecsun PL-880 as a replacement for my Sangean ATS-909X because I can't stand the front rotary tuning controls. The Tecsun has metal controls down the side which give a lot more control without immediate RSI! Having a casual scan through the shortwave band (only to find more CRI or Radio Romania) is much simpler now.#tecsun #pl880 #swradio

This isn't a fault of the software. It's just so incredibly involved that it takes time. The preset I'm using is a stock preset with a fair number of modifications.I hope you enjoy listening to a few samples of music with me on this video. I intentionally picked a range of genres to see how we the processor copes with a mix of both dynamic and more lively and pre-processed music.I am not affiliated with or sponsored by Thimeo in any way.

Anker Powerconf S3 vs. Powerconf vs. Powerconf S500 Audio Test TDCatTech 2022-01-06 | An audio test, shootout and comparison of all Anker Bluetooth speakerphones. This test compares the Powerconf S3, the Powerconf Ultraclear and the Powerconf S500.🛒 Check Powerconf S3 on Amazon - geni.us/powerconfs3🛒 Check Powerconf on Amazon - geni.us/ultraclear🛒 Check Powerconf S500 on Amazon - geni.us/s50000:00 - Introduction01:20 - Quick Audio Test02:09 - Full Audio Test (includes product info)16:39 - ConclusionSetup - This was recorded with Kate connecting her phone via Bluetooth to each device and then calling me through the Anker speakerphone using FaceTime audio. I had my phone plugged directly into the Rodecaster Pro and recorded the conversation on the desk.S500 Dongle - I mentioned that this is a Bluetooth dongle. Technically, this connects to your computer as a simple sound device and then connects wirelessly to the S500 entirely independently of your computer. This is a huge advantage because, as in the case of Kate's work laptop, Bluetooth devices often can't be used on work computers for security reasons. A sound device almost always can because it's effectively wired and integral to the machine. If they couldn't, you couldn't even connect a wired headset to a work computer which would be useless. This means you can easily connect the S500 to almost any laptop or PC.Let's be honest here. Not everyone needs a conference phone. However, suppose you're not a fan of wearing a headset, or you regularly hold meetings in smaller groups and in places that might not have their own conference facilities. In that case, something like this suddenly becomes invaluable.They all sound decent, with the S500 just a step above the rest. Just don't touch them while you're using them (except the buttons, which are all touch-sensitive).Thanks for watching, and if you found this video helpful, please consider subscribing to the channel or just give the video a thumbs up. 👍🏻#anker #powerconf #speakerphoneSupport the Channel:===============================Links to products are Amazon affiliate links.

Gone are their plain black radios with the metal plate behind the battery. We now have a choice of styles, colours, IP ratings and functionality. Are the new radios as good as the old though? In my experience, it seems to be a bit of a gamble, with some of the new style radios being great performers and others being a bit of a letdown.Retevis RT45P Features:• 16 channels with 121 Privacy Codes (CTCSS/DCS)• VOX function for handsfree operation• IP67 Waterproof (tested to 1m for 30 minutes)• Dual-Channel Watch Feature• 10 Call Tones to Allow • Clear Always On LCD Display• Room Monitor Function• Built-in LED torch• SOS Siren to attract attention• USB-C Charging The RT45P is, overall, a nice radio to use with excellent audio clarity and lovely build quality. It’s not without its problems, though.@Fred in the Shed did a range test on these and got much better performance.

What Do The Symbols on Flashlights Mean? TDCatTech 2021-12-21 | A description of the ANSI FL1 torch or flashlight standard by a beginner for beginners. If you've been looking at buying a flashlight, it's worth knowing what these seven standard measurements mean.00:00 - Introduction00:55 - Why The FL1 Standard Exists04:05 - Light Output06:32 - Beam Distance08:03 - Runtime09:41 - Peak Beam Intensity10:54 - Impact Resistance11:48 - Water Resistance12:55 - Water Proof13:48 - ConclusionI've recently invested in a couple of flashlights to test, review and use and my research has naturally found me looking at the FL1 standard. The FL1 standard was introduced in 2009 by the American National Standards Institute as a way of clearing up marketing nonsense used by increasing numbers of torch manufacturers. The idea is to avoid random and technically meaningless phrases and force manufacturers to measure their flashlights in the same way. A consumer can then make a direct apple to apple comparison.This video is my beginner attempt to explain the seven essential parts of the FL1 standard in a way that I hope most of you will understand.#flashlight #fl1 #explanation #tutorial #ansiMy Production Gear===============================• Fixed Camera - geni.us/sony-zve10• External Recorder - geni.us/shogun• Camera Mic - geni.us/ntg3mic• VOX Mic 1 - geni.us/rodebroadcaster (used clean)• VOX Mic 2 - geni.us/mk8mic (used with mic processor)• Field Recorder - geni.us/dr100• Studio Lights - geni.us/vnix1000sMy Contact Details===============================► Business Enquiries & Review Products: info@tdcat.com► Collaboration: collab@tdcat.com► Web: tdcat.com

UGREEN 100W PD & QC Desktop Fast Charger - Review & Test TDCatTech 2021-12-05 | A review and test of the CD226 Ugreen Fast Charger. With both USB-A and USB-C and QC and PD compatibility, can this charger replace all your other chargers when travelling? It certainly keeps things simple but how well does it work?► Check Price on Amazon UK - amzn.to/3lNUoK1► Check Price on Amazon US - amzn.to/3DDUNot00:00 - Introduction01:00 - What's In The Box?01:39 - Product Overview02:49 - Testing the Ugreen Charger05:15 - Fast Charge Test On iPhone 11 Pro Max06:50 - The Good Points09:14 - The Bad Points12:03 - ConclusionIf you don't feel like watching the video, I really like this device. I feel the RRP of £99.99 is too expensive for what this is but it is incredibly convenient. I'm not sure I will use this at home but having a device like this is perfect for travelling because I only need to take one charger for my phone, camera, laptop, watch, speaker etc. The list goes on. With compatibility for all types of phones including Samsung Galaxy, iPhone, iPad and Google Pixel as well as support for higher voltage devices like a MacBook Pro this has pretty much got you covered.#ugreen #100w #cd226My Production Music===============================I use Artlist for most of the production music you hear on TDCatTech.
