Xiaomi Mijia SmartMi Evaporative Humidifier v2 - review Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2020-04-13 | This video is about the SmartMi humidifier from Xiaomi.We used the Venta LW45 for the past couple of years, but when it broke down, I was looking at the Xiaomi humidifier. It is half the size of the Venta, but 1/4 of the price. At this price, it has an app and is much more "smart device" then the Venta. I plan to couple these devices to Homey from Athom. My central hub for my home automation.Note : This is not a sponsored product.
18650 - part 16 - LiitoKala lii-500 charger Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2020-04-05 | This is a review about the LiitoKala lii-500. After using Opus for a long time, I decided to go for a cheaper alternative now my Opus chargers have quit on me. The Liitokala has the same functions as the Opus, but at almost half the price. I am not sure yet on the long term, but during the couple of weeks I have been using it, I am more then happy.
EUC Gotway MSX 84v 1859Wh Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2020-04-04 | I like the Gotway MSX 84v alot. I am only riding for a couple of months and started with a second hand Inmotion V5f, which soon appeared too light for my needs.After 15km the battery was drained.Now I have bought the MSX 84v 1859Wh. This gives me enough juice to get me about 80 km on easy ride and 60 km on hard ride. (not going below the 20%)Here I had a fixed Gopro 4 on my helmet (no stabilisation). And a Sjcam SJ8 Pro on a 3 axis gimbal on a selfie stick.As a first attempt in filming, I think it was ok.However, the Insta360 One R is on my wishlist, which will make cruising with the selfie stick much more relaxed.I also recorded the screen, while the EUC app was running.Hope you enjoy this video.
18650 - Part 15 - Reviving Dead Cells Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2020-03-31 | This video is about Reviving Dead 18650 Cells.When your charger does not want to charge these cells, and your voltmeter shows between 0 and 3V, then watch this video for a solid solution.It is a fact that li-ion cells cannot go lower then about 3V to keep them in good condition. However, a one time draining the battery too much does not mean that the battery is destroyed forever. However, alot of chargers (and bms's) think that the batterypack is faulty because it does not have the values as should be. In my case, I salvage alot of cells out of ebike battery packs. There is mostly a piece of software/hardware safeguarding the battery condition. When the bike does not want to start, people go to the bikeshop to have a "read-out" of the battery pack. Their equipment will tell them that one part is faulty, or the complete pack.This is good news for us ....

Aputure A.lav Lavalier microphone - unbox and test Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2017-10-28 | The Aputure A.Lav Lavalier microphone is a budget omni-directional lavalier mic. I bought this to increase the quality of sound, compared to my dslr.Connected to the Canon Eos 80D is already a big improvement, but because it is wired, it will not be very practical.Connected to the Galaxy S5 is good quality, but I noticed that each time a mail, whatsapp, ... comes in, It will disturb the audiotrack.So probably a audiorecorder (Tascam Dr-40 V2) will be added to make audio great.
Tripod Velbon Sherpa 200R - Unboxing and test Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2017-10-23 | The Sherpa 200R is a budget Tripod from Velbon, capable of doing photography and video. The head is not a fluid head, but is very smooth, so you can use it for video.One drawback is that you can only lock the head in pan and tilt together.

18650 - Part 9 - Opening Gazelle Innergy li-ion battery pack Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2017-09-25 | In this episode I will open a Gazelle Innergy li-ion battery pack.This is a more recent battery and has higher capacity cells in it.The average capacity of the cells salvaged from this battery was about 2250 mah tested on the Opus. And that's times 50!!!Ebike battery packs from more recent bikes have higher capacity cells, so the newer the pack, the higher the possibly tested capacity.Often these battery packs go faulty due to BMS failure. This results in battery packs with 50 good cells.

Canon Eos 700D external Grip & Battery mount Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2017-09-22 | The original battery of a Canon Eos 700D does not last very long when you use the autofocus, the flash, take some moving shots, ...That's why I bought a budget add-on grip and battery cover which doubles the battery capacity at once.As a bonus, your 700D becomes somewhat heavier and bulkier. This benefits the stability when using this camera. You feel you have something in your hands. And it looks somewhat professional...This budget grip comes from China and was delivered with 2 li-ion batteries. The total price of the grip and 2 batteries is even less than the price of 1 original Canon battery.How the quality of these batteries is, that shall come clear over time.The grip however looks good quality and doesn't mismatch to the original rubber and plastics of the Canon.
18650 - Part 7 - Opening Giant Twist Double ebike battery for salvage of 18650 cells Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2017-09-21 | In this episode, I show how to open up a Giant Twist Double ebike battery.

Gopro external microphone unboxing and test Sailing, Woodworking and Electronics 2017-09-09 | For offroad and outdoor filming, the GoPro is the ideal tool.However, when you also want to record sound or voice during that time, the GoPro has a much harder time.Because of the waterproof plastic casing, the sound and voices are blocked from the internal microphone. Especially when we go sailing, we hear harsh noises from the wind and I hope this will resolve that problem.That's why I have bought a budget external microphone with a dedicated GoPro holder.This is a very good solution for outdoors. However, if it gets wet, than you have to go back to the plastic box.This microphone is compatible with GoPro 4, 3+ and 3.
