00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.720
today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of a pretty neat little product

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

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:14.040
version of the original red eye which we are not going to look at except only

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

00:00:15.879 --> 00:00:23.000
pretty self-explanatory universal remote for iPhone iPod touch and iPad well that

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.880
doesn't actually really explain much if you don't know what this product does

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.960
already so we're going to do the unboxing really quickly there it's

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:34.559
unboxed that was it okay so inside we

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.600
will find the red ey mini which is here

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:40.480
with the infrared uh transmitter on the

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

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

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:54.160
portable this is a little carrying case that you go ahead and you throw on your

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

00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.960
or iPad is now a universal remote that you can carry with with you anywhere

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

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.320
it comes down to their software so the

00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:16.720
the red eye software is something that you can download for free to your iPod

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.920
or iPad it allows you to uh customize

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.159
the layout it allows you to use the full multi-touch capabilities of the iPod

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

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:30.479
the iPhone so you can actually change the channel by scrolling right change

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

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:41.000
access their database of codes you can actually learn from your existing

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:45.159
remotes so before you before you lose them to just quickly learn it on your on

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

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

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:58.759
know if I said it yet and it comes with its own carrying case no batteries

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.840
required and since it plugs into the headphone jack you we've actually still

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

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

00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.959
obviously but um you know you plug it in

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:17.680
to use it and then it actually leaves your

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:20.120
charging port completely unobstructed at

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

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:30.200
it looks like you're going to have to watch out for um for case compatibility

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

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:37.680
going to interfere with plugging it in fully whereas I'm just using a sticker

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.239
and uh yeah I'm not having any clearance problems with that so depending what

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

00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:50.200
I'm obviously going to have to do some testing with this device but they

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:54.680
advertise that it'll work awesome with pretty much any device including your TV

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:59.319
your DVD player your cable box anything that accepts an infrared signal from

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:03.640
your remote control so stay tuned for more videos online as Tech tips and

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:07.560
including about this but unboxings reviews all that good stuff and I just

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:12.080
want to ask you guys a question does anybody already have a red eye or a

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.560
device like this and if you do what do you think of it
