- Hey guys, this is Austin,
and today we are going on an adventure.
So when Mi reached out and wanted to sponsor a video
on their Power Bank Pro, I felt like
what better way of showing it off,
then to give you guys a sneak peek
at the kind of travel tech that we take with us.
With 10,000 milliamp hours of capacity,
this is going to have plenty of juice
to power all of our devices during the trip,
and it does come in a pretty small and sleek form factor,
unlike some other larger battery banks,
this is going to be easy to fit in your pocket,
easy to fit in a bag, no problem.
So as you'd expect, it's straight-forward to use.
We have a full sized U-S-B eight
port to charge your devices.
The power bank itself is charged
with a U-S-B C port, and you have
a little battery indicator here
to see how much charge your battery bank has.
The Mi Power Bank also comes with
this U-S-B A cable to U-S-B C,
so you just plug it in and you can
charge your devices this way,
but if you don't have something that
charges with U-S-B C, you just pop off this little end here,
and you're also going to be getting this micro U-S-B.
And of course, you can't leave without
making sure your phone is charged.
So the Power Bank Pro has enough juice
to charge something like the Pixel two,
two in a half times, and it does support
a full eighteen watts of output,
so something like the pixel is
going to be easy to fast charge.
Alright, that's enough talk.
Let's get out of here and actually,
well, show the travel tech.
I mean, that's what you came for, right?
(hip-hop music)
So the first things we do on any trip
is, well, spend time on a plane,
and what better way to do that,
then with a Nintendo Switch.
So, not only is it great for a little bit of
two-player Mario Kart, but of course,
the Mi Power Bank is able to fully charge it no problem.
Just keep in mind that you can't fast charge the Switch.
Now I'll have you know, that I would have
won the Mario Kart match, if it weren't for Ken
not actually shooting the video.
You know, it's kind of hard to play
with one hand and shoot with the other.
And yes, these are excuses in fact.
Now, because we were just up here
for about twenty-four hours, and we're
shooting a couple videos, I'm traveling pretty light.
So in addition to the camera we're shooting with right now,
I also have my Sony R-X 100.
And what's nice about this guy,
is that even though it's a tiny,
little pocket-able camera, we're actually
still getting some pretty nice looking four K video.
- So this camera also has its fair bit of trade offs,
like for example, it only records
for five minutes in four K, which
obviously I'd like for that to be longer,
but also, it doesn't have the greatest
battery life in the world, which is
where something like the Mi Power Bank comes in.
- The main camera we're using today though,
is the Sony A 6500.
Now in a lot of ways you can think of this
as the bigger brother to the R-X 100.
So not only do we have an interchangeable lens,
we're also getting a proper microphone input,
and importantly, a much bigger, super thirty-five sensor.
However, we actually forgot to charge the batteries,
so the Mi Power Bank, about to come in handy.
Actually legitimate, I'm going
to plug your camera in right now.
(laughs)
Now, I can legitimately say the Mi
is literally powering this video.
Of course, no travel is complete
without a smart phone, which is
where the iPhone ten comes in.
So this is my daily driver right now,
and for the most part I've been pretty happy.
However, both Ken and I are also
rocking the Google Pixel Two.
I like the Pixel two, whereas Ken's rocking the X-L,
but we're both using it for pretty much the same reason.
The camera is absolutely the best
you can get on a smart phone right now.
- [Ken] So one of the things I've been doing recently
is taking thumbnails for YouTube using the Pixel two,
and this is going to be the one for this video.
- So after a day of shooting, next step
is to bring the footage back and actually start editing.
So, our weapon of choice here is going
to be the 2016 MacBook Pro.
Actually never really updated to the newer one,
but this is sort of our mobile work station.
As you can see, the desk is a little bit of a mess,
thanks to, well, all of the stuff we need,
including dongles and S-S-D's to edit off of,
but one of the most important things
is going to be our headphones.
I've talked about these in many videos before,
but these are the Status C-B ones,
and especially when you're editing on like planes,
and hotel rooms and all over the place,
it's nice to have a good pair of headphones
that you know you can trust, especially
when you're editing footage that was shot in a park,
and in China Town, and on a plane, it's nice to
actually know that your audio is not going to be terrible.
So that is everything that is in our travel bag,
and of course, huge shout out to Mi
for sponsoring this video, and if you guys
want to check out the Power Bank Pro for yourselves,
the links will be in the description over on Amazon.
Now, you might be wondering why am I
riding this incredibly stylish scooter.
Well this is the Mi Electric Scooter,
and they actually gave me one to not only
check off on this video, but also to give away for you guys.
So this is really cool, because not only
are you getting eighteen miles or range on this guy,
but it's also convenient if you need
to take it for a little trip, for example,
I know Ken takes this back and forth
around work all the time, and what's cool
is if you want to actually travel with it,
it's simple just undoing this one thing
and then it will clip together right here,
and you just pick it up and walk around with it like this.
It's pretty lightweight.
So just like with the Power Bank Pro,
you can check out our link to this guy
on Amazon in the description, and I do
have one extra to give away to you guys.
To enter, all you need to do is
leave the word "scooter" in a comment in this video.
In two weeks I'm going to randomly select
one and send you guys a scooter.
Okay guys, thank you so much for watching
and I will catch you on the next one.
