00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,720
today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of a pretty neat little product

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:10,719
from think flood so this is the red eye mini this is a new one it's a mini

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,040
version of the original red eye which we are not going to look at except only

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,000
briefly there we're going to focus on the mini today so you can see it's

5
00:00:15,879 --> 00:00:23,000
pretty self-explanatory universal remote for iPhone iPod touch and iPad well that

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,880
doesn't actually really explain much if you don't know what this product does

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,960
already so we're going to do the unboxing really quickly there it's

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:34,559
unboxed that was it okay so inside we

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,600
will find the red ey mini which is here

10
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:40,480
with the infrared uh transmitter on the

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,120
front of it and then a headphone jack on the other end that's it that's the whole

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:49,760
thing and then this is cool check this out so this is what makes it mini and

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,160
portable this is a little carrying case that you go ahead and you throw on your

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:59,320
keychain you know put that in there and now all of a sudden your iPhone or iPod

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:03,960
or iPad is now a universal remote that you can carry with with you anywhere

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:09,479
pretty neat okay so let's talk about what makes the Mini cool so first of all

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,320
it comes down to their software so the

18
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:16,720
the red eye software is something that you can download for free to your iPod

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,920
or iPad it allows you to uh customize

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,159
the layout it allows you to use the full multi-touch capabilities of the iPod

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,240
iPad okay I'm going to say iPhone because that's what I have um so it's

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,479
the iPhone so you can actually change the channel by scrolling right change

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,600
the channel by scrolling scrolling left you can adjust the volume by scrolling up and down you have the ability to

24
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:41,000
access their database of codes you can actually learn from your existing

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:45,159
remotes so before you before you lose them to just quickly learn it on your on

26
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:49,920
your eye device and then you won't have to worry about finding it anymore ever I

27
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:55,159
think you can customize the actual button layouts no I know you can customize the button layouts but I don't

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,759
know if I said it yet and it comes with its own carrying case no batteries

29
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,840
required and since it plugs into the headphone jack you we've actually still

30
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:05,520
got access and I'm just going to show you guys what it looks like when you

31
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,640
plug it in so it's not the kind of thing that you'd leave plugged in permanently

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,959
obviously but um you know you plug it in

33
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:17,680
to use it and then it actually leaves your

34
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:20,120
charging port completely unobstructed at

35
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,120
the bottom so you can actually charge it and then use this at the same time now

36
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:30,200
it looks like you're going to have to watch out for um for case compatibility

37
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:33,560
cuz this this is cameraman's iPhone and uh he's got a case that looks like it's

38
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,680
going to interfere with plugging it in fully whereas I'm just using a sticker

39
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:40,239
and uh yeah I'm not having any clearance problems with that so depending what

40
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,959
kind of a case you're using on your iPhone that's what it's going to look like with the red eyee mini installed so

41
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:50,200
I'm obviously going to have to do some testing with this device but they

42
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:54,680
advertise that it'll work awesome with pretty much any device including your TV

43
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:59,319
your DVD player your cable box anything that accepts an infrared signal from

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,640
your remote control so stay tuned for more videos online as Tech tips and

45
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,560
including about this but unboxings reviews all that good stuff and I just

46
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,080
want to ask you guys a question does anybody already have a red eye or a

47
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,560
device like this and if you do what do you think of it
