Hi! I think Andoer make one … I haven’t tested it but looks like it does the job. Search ‘Andoer Dual hot Shoe’ on Amazon and it should come up

Not sure I fully follow your question, but usually a flash and microphone wouldn’t be both powered by the hit shoe. Flash would generally connect there for control, but the mic would plug into the mic in on your camera and be powered by battery. Not sure that helps!

I think the inclusion of the male USB port is a great idea. Means the drive can be used on its own with no other accessories or leads, can just be plugged straight into a device and you are good to go. Also when using with a smart phone the drive is held securely in place by the USB C port. Other drives connect via mag safe, but this one leaves that open for another accessory, such as a power bank.

@@TomFrickerPhoto I always have access to a cable, that male plug is a reason for me to avoid it especially since it risks damaging it's own plug, pcb or the host device's socket in a manner that cables wouldn't. What I want is encryption and the ability to accept a full size nvme drive (WiFi/Bluetooth mini NAS functionality would be a bonus).

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching

Yeah. I hadn’t considered that happening. It would be a better design to be able to also clip the cable holder to the enclosure directly also. Did you contact Sharge to see if you can get a replacement?

@@TomFrickerPhoto I haven't... I bought it from amazon- I also don't like the case, I still have it... but I'd just much rather the loop be a part of the enclosure... I guess I could give it a shot and contact Sharge for a replacement case and just.. not use the loop.

Ha ha. In those terms it’s certainly something!

Yeah I’ve tried it with a few different cables and it’s the same. Maybe a good time to upgrade!

Maybe it’s on its way out. It is a couple of years old and heavily used! Good job I have an upgrade now I guess!

Probably dropped down to USB 2.0 speeds due to worn out cable or port.

Maybe. I’ll have to play around with it a bit as it’s a great little drive.

The fan is certainly the addition. I haven’t bench marked this against an enclosure without to see if there is a performance difference with prolonged use. Maybe I’ll try that and publish the result. Thanks for watching.

Yeah it can be a bit annoying I must admit!

I don’t think it’s a terrible price for an enclosure of its size with active cooling.

@@TomFrickerPhoto It's definitely a cute fan but I still wonder how big an improvement it is compared to a heatsink of the same size.

Good question. I don’t really have a way to test. Heatsinks always worried me a bit as often they transport the heat through the inner working of small devices. No expert though so maybe that’s fine.

@@TomFrickerPhoto $40 is a lot for an enclosure like this. The cost per enclosure I can guarantee isn’t exorbitant. Someone with some cad skills could definitely double down on these as there isn’t a patent.

For housing large files it is a great little drive for sure. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Hi! Totally agreed - I’ve heard a few folk comment that they thought different sized cables made a difference to the speed their devices charged! Reality is that consumer cables are all pretty short in the grand scheme so there should be no perceivable difference. So I thought I’d demo that fact! Maybe if there was a 100m amazon basics cable available we’d see a difference… strangely they don’t sell one of those!

@TomFrickerPhoto yes, I think you would be in the 100s of metres range before it would be noticeable, depending on the output of your power source.

​@Lee-vp8vs so what you're saying is that the resistance only matter if the wires would be 100 meters plus?

@@AJU1313Yes - and the reason why is fairly easy to spot if you look at the underlying formulae: P=IV, I=V/R, R=ρL/A. If we substitute them into the power formula, we get P=V²A/ρL. The A/ρ part is fixed but V can increase to a point (230 V AC mains voltage can be safely rectified to about 350 V DC), and as the ratio between voltage and length in this equation is V²/L, a proportionately smaller increase in voltage can compensate for a larger increase in length. Voltage only needs to increase tenfold to compensate for a hundredfold increase in distance. If we want to figure out the theoretical maximum length of a wire for 60 W charging at the maximum voltage of 350 V, we can rearrange the formula. The resistivity of copper is about 1.77e-8 Ωm, the cross-sectional area of one of these wires is about 1.99e-9 m². L=V²A/ρP =[(350 V)²(1.99e-9 m²)] / [(1.77e-8 Ωm)(60 W)]≈230m Of course, the *real* maximum is lower because the real world doesn't have perfect conditions, but you can see that 60W charging doesn't run into problems from resistance until you reach the hectometre range in terms of distance.

@AJU1313 it all depends on the power output of the charger and the length of cable, as there will be a formula for it. There is a difference between a simple voltage measurement at the end, and a devices efficiency at charging if there is a voltage drop. That depends on the device and any inbuilt tolerances for protection from under/over voltage while charging.

Glad the video was of help to you. Thanks for watching

Hi! Not sure I understand the question. However the monitor is capable of taking feeds of up to 4K. It will then display an HD image (1080p) on its own screen. Does that make sense? Cheers

@@TomFrickerPhoto I saw on your screen in 1080 p it’s show full display with the recording display and the audio levels but it don’t show in 4K

Hi! This version of this microphone is powered via USB so it has no separate power supply. Hope that helps. Thanks

Hi Rosie - which phone do you have? I just as the phone has to be one that is capable of being charged wirelessly. Cheers

I have an iphone and it charged yesterday but not today?

It only arrived yesterday

@rosiewall2340 is the little light on on top of the charging pad? It should be solid white when waiting to charge.

no its not but it was yesterday. everything is connected properly too.

Hi - I can honestly say that hasn’t been a problem. It doesn’t slip at all. Cheers

@@TomFrickerPhoto thank you for the quick reply! Sounds great

Hello - Whilst I have had a few desk mats I would call myself an expert… however compared to those cheaper models I have had, the materials used on this one seem far better quality and also far denser. The thickness of the two parts that make the main part of the mat up is far greater than others I have owned. Also, the build quality is very good, for example the stitching that holds the leaves together is strong and very neat. I would say that this is sold at a premium price, but I think it does constitute a premium product. Cheers

Hi - I have had no issues at all and I use the Vegan leather side all the time. Not sure what the issue could be.

Hi there. I wasn’t sure on this so I had a look on their website and it stated it’s MagSafe. Take a look in the specs section on the following site. Hope that helps. journeyofficial.co.uk/products/alti-wireless-charging-desk-mat

Hi there. I have found the menu system really good. It is very responsive, there is no perceivable lag at all. It is pretty intuitive and (I think I covered this in the video) is fully customizable! Thanks for watching

@@TomFrickerPhoto Thanks ! They are all talking about the Viltrox 550 but apparently the menu system is terrible. Cheers

I think the Viltrox 550 is also only HD - not 4K like the Osee.

@@TomFrickerPhoto What do you mean 4K ? because the resolution is HD on the Limon as well as the Viltrox! They have the same specs : both os them can only input signal up until 4K30p I think

Ah yes … sorry, input signal is the same. Reading about the Viltrox, not sure it has the same support features with regards to focus and exposure etc, they aren’t mentioned on the website. Either way, sure they are both great, I haven’t used the Viltrox 550 so can’t really comment on it. The Osee is great and I have used that.

Hi! I guess that an issue with a watch charger is that it’d be specific to Apple where as the headphone charger works across brands. Also I think a lot of folk (myself included) charge their watch overnight on a bedside stand. The best would have been to have all three! Thanks for watching

@@TomFrickerPhoto Yes sure, all three would solve the issue without taking out a feature that some people may be interrested in. I personally work from home, so charging the watch during the day allows to wear it at night for sleep tracking.

I personally wear AirPods at my desk all the time… so this works for me 🤷‍♂️

i didnt but it thanks to this comment

The watch charges so fast, I just take it off while getting ready for bed and by the time I’m actually in bed it’s fully charged

Hi - I’ve not used the Viltrox 550 pro - I did have a quick look at their website though. From what I see there is a touch version which comes in a little more expensive than the Osee, but it’s not 4K, only HD (1080). The website also didn’t mention any focus or exposure tools either.

i have used it and accidentally used 5v type c with different voltage. broken less than a month. no warranty because it was physical damage as they said. try other monitor insted. the big dial on the left is annoying too.

Hello - apologies for the delayed reply. I think the A7RIII uses the NP-FZ battery (same as my A7III). In which case no, it won’t work. This monitor uses batteries such as the NP-F970. You can get them from third parties such as neewer very cheaply. Hope that helps.

Hi! No - the mount is welded to the upright pole I am afraid. You can’t separate them. Thanks for watching.
