1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,720
i think especially in light of the livestream that i uploaded earlier this

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,760
week it's going to come as a bit of a surprise to you guys that we have been

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,120
working on a new channel concept for the last few months that i think we are just

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:16,880
about ready to show the world the working name is ShortCircuit we're

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:20,640
gonna have a link to the youtube channel in the video description so you guys can

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,439
go over there go subscribe there's actually gonna be nothing on it so i

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,640
hope it's gonna end up being one of those hilarious channels with like a silver play button and literally no

8
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:32,079
videos uploaded to it but don't worry we're gonna have content coming on the

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,559
surface it's gonna look really similar to Linus tech tips it's gonna be tech

10
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:40,640
oriented unboxings first impressions things like that the reason that it

11
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:45,200
needs to exist is that sometimes we see a really cool product and we can't think

12
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:48,480
of exactly the right title and exactly the right thumbnail and then we end up

13
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:51,120
just not making a video about it at all and that sucks and it's not a lot of fun

14
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:57,120
so that's what this is we want this to be an outlet for us to just take

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,520
cool stuff that we're interested in and check it out so

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:07,439
let's kick it off shall we this is the pataka air quad and this is a third

17
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:11,760
party attempt at what apple failed to do which was to create a wireless charger

18
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,600
where their vision was that you were going to be able to take your air pods

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,400
your apple watch and your iphone and just

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,159
chuck them all on there don't worry about getting the you know the magnetic

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,040
charging coils exactly positioned right they were just all going to charge you

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,759
just grab them all in the morning and you're ready to rock apple abandoned

23
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:35,759
that we did get some third party options and i actually grabbed this one from

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:42,000
mophie that i could show you guys for comparison but what this one does is not

25
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:44,960
quite what apple promised so it does charge all your devices at the same time

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,200
you know you throw your air pods there you throw your apple watch there throw your iphone

27
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:54,479
there it goes a little something like that but if you don't line it up just right this is actually the one that i'm

28
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,640
daily driving right now it it doesn't it doesn't actually work okay so i'm really

29
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,320
excited about this thing then it's got an auto flip up watch charger position

30
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,719
free charging so they claim you can just chuck your phone anywhere you want on it

31
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,879
because it has multiple built-in wireless charging coils wirelessly

32
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,120
charge your air pods well i would sure as heck hope so four in one

33
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,280
wireless charger yes got it also one of those things isn't wireless because the

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:22,239
ipad charger uses a wire m 18 watt wireless fast charging sleep charging

35
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,599
perfect as an organizer so let's check it out

36
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,160
listen to that thing that is

37
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,440
built wow if you're into the chrome look i guess this is going to be right up

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,680
your alley if you want somewhere to keep the keys

39
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,920
to your bentley or whatever bentleys are kind of chromed out right yeah yeah ish

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,680
yeah okay what's something more chromed out what's a more chromed out

41
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,680
car than a bentley andy what kind of car owner is gonna be into this

42
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,599
the good news is that the super shiny part

43
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:03,200
goes on the bottom and all you end up with is a relatively tasteful chrome

44
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:08,480
accent and then like a carbon fibery looking finish on the top so i'm

45
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,760
actually a little curious as to how is

46
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,400
that oh okay i get it so if you don't

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:19,120
have an ipad and you're not interested in standing up your ipad here and then

48
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:23,680
there's a little slightly flexible usb type-c here at least you can just tuck

49
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,159
that out of the way and focus on charging your phone and your watch and

50
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:33,840
your uh airpods all right you get to build your own wall wart how does this go on

51
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,959
there we go that wasn't so hard and other than that just packaging oh that's

52
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:46,080
cute this must be their apple watch charger adopts patented flip up design

53
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:51,360
allowing you to take full advantage of versatility i always like to take full

54
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,840
advantage of my versatility even factoring in that some stuff's

55
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:02,400
going to overhang it the air quad takes up on butt ton of space compared to the

56
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,959
mophie this is a lot smaller not to

57
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,400
mention a lot thinner but i guess that's the price that you pay for having a

58
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,360
whole bunch of charging coils inside it also we still haven't figured out what

59
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:16,479
this dial does the usbc thing look at this oh okay so

60
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:21,440
if you've got a case on your ipad you can raise it up a little bit for

61
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:25,919
maximum penetration and then if you don't then you can kind of pull it back

62
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,440
it's a lot heavier it's a lot bigger it's a lot thicker but if the

63
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,600
performance is there then i guess it doesn't really matter so the first thing

64
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,840
i want to do is chuck all my devices on the mophie because i've got a super

65
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:41,840
convenient Android app here for detecting the rate at which a phone is

66
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:47,919
charging i'm not going to be able to measure the charging rate of the airpods or the apple watch but this will tell me

67
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:51,360
you know how much juice is left over for the phone when you've got all three

68
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,240
devices charging at the same time let's give it a hot minute here it's what the

69
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,960
kids call it when it's more than a minute you know i'm going to reposition

70
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:02,479
this a little bit i want to see if it gets worse or better we're dropping so that's clearly too low okay so let's go

71
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,479
back up this way a bit we want to find out exactly where the charging coil is

72
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,479
in this phone oh there we go okay we're getting right up there

73
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:16,720
and we fell off a cliff all right now it's time for the pataka

74
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,680
okay the magnet hold i wouldn't describe it as amazing to be

75
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,320
honest with you so you can see it grabbing on there

76
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:27,360
but actually i think the mophie holds better i mean

77
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,360
either way it's not gonna be a problem it's not gonna fall off by accident so i'm not gonna take too many marks off

78
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,680
for that but okay we've got our oh bloody hell this

79
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:40,080
isn't even a charging case who's got a charging case for their airpods yeah we

80
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:45,199
good now we got the wireless charging case all right let's try that again shall we

81
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:51,520
okay doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever we're right around the same

82
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:54,320
1.3 1.4 amps attack of time that sounds

83
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,039
cool yeah protagotive you know it's kind of funny they say

84
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:01,199
well you can put it anywhere you want but like it's only about as big as a

85
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:05,280
phone anyway two things we want to check for here one is if there are claims

86
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,240
about it being able to charge kind of no matter where you put the phone on the

87
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,400
pad are true and two if it can even get close to

88
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,360
keeping up with our mophie oh we're ramping up this time yep we're right up

89
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:21,919
in the same range as the mophie 1.3 amps oh

90
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,800
we are discharging boys and girls you better go get that checked by the way

91
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,280
there you go so you don't want to get too close to the edge we're at an amp

92
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:35,039
now which tells us for sure we've got coils somewhere in this area somewhere

93
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,280
in this area and as advertised when we

94
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:43,120
put the phone right in between them it doesn't charge well but it does charge

95
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:48,000
so let's try something new based on what i've seen so far i am not expecting

96
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:52,000
there to be any wireless charging coils over here but

97
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:57,039
yeah no we discharging again how interesting i think we just figured

98
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:02,560
out why apple wasn't comfortable coming out with air power because even if

99
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:08,160
you're aligned with the coil there's still an orientation dependency here so

100
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:13,520
what pataka has done is they've said you can put the phone anywhere you want

101
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,440
as long as where you want to put it is

102
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,479
here and running this way not this way what

103
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:24,639
do you think david do you consider this acceptable for put anywhere as long as

104
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:29,039
it's no it's not charging like that that's

105
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,880
not put anywhere okay but what if what if so i've already got my other stuff on

106
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:39,120
here right okay now can if i can put it anywhere where it's

107
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:43,599
on the pad is that not put it anywhere and it looks

108
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:47,520
like it was an anomaly the first time it's charging just fine right dead

109
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,599
center now so like no you can't just like

110
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,560
throw your phone at your charging pad oh

111
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:58,400
i got it okay hold on so you can't just throw your phone at your charging pad

112
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:03,919
and expect it to start charging but as long as you take a moment of care and

113
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:08,639
put it on the charging pad as soon as you come over the edge here

114
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:11,360
it's charging how much is this thing 200 bucks

115
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:17,120
us so about 270 canadian

116
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:21,199
but i think i can accept that i should probably have my phone on the pad if i

117
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:24,639
expect it to be charging so i'm gonna give them a pass on that i'm actually

118
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:29,199
pretty pleased with the result i don't like how much space it takes up but as

119
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,640
long as you have the space it definitely looks and feels

120
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,640
a lot nicer one thing i think they could have really improved is the quality of

121
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:40,320
the charging cable honestly i expect a braided cable you know

122
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:46,160
i want to check how much the mophie is now too so this thing is

123
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,800
110 bucks i think that's a tough sell paying an extra

124
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:55,040
90 for the pataka solution you know what i want you guys to give me the verdict

125
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,480
200 bucks for this 100 and change for this or just don't be lazy plug in all

126
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:03,519
your stuff let us know in the comments below and let us know in the comments below if you're going to subscribe to

127
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,760
the new channel if you like this type of just casual unboxing

128
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:10,800
quick look format i'm actually really looking forward to it i had a lot of fun

129
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:16,609
doing this guess we'll see you guys over there
