so we actually featured volta's last product in one of our handy tech under a
0:05
hundred videos and they saw that video and they reached
0:08
out telling us that they had something new coming and decided to sponsor a
0:12
video showing off so what's new i think is this piece
0:17
and the idea behind it is transform your cable into a magnetic universal cable
0:25
oh i get it
0:28
i need a different cable wow look at those magnets
0:32
that is so strong
0:35
uh okay i'll be right back so this
0:38
is the actual product and they only sent these volta cables because they needed
0:43
me to be able to compare them i guess so here's what you do you take any old
0:47
regular cable and you plug in this guy right here and it doesn't
0:52
affect your ability to use quick charge or anything like that and then you get
0:58
these tips so i've taken
1:02
okay stop it
1:05
okay so i've taken a regular micro usb cable i add the volta magnetic tip and
1:10
then lightning type c or micro b
1:14
i can turn it into like a volta cable so here
1:19
here's a type c phone so you just keep that in the bottom of your phone kind of
1:23
like a little magnetic you know you know bottom plug
1:28
um and then you take your cable you put it near it and boom you're plugged in and
1:33
charging so here let's go ahead and pop one into here as well
1:38
so now if you or your significant other
1:41
or whoever else has a phone that has a different
1:44
connector you only need one cable to just pop into any one of them you
1:48
want now obviously you could achieve the same thing by just getting the regular
1:53
volta cable and we'll have those linked in the video description as well
1:57
but that is the key difference here so
2:01
you don't need the special cable either i guess then neat
2:07
so the last thing that's kind of cool is whether you're using the
2:11
new cable adapter version or whether you're using the old version they've got
2:15
little indicator leds on the bottom of them
2:18
that show you that they're working so they've got a bunch of different packs
2:21
starting at 14 bucks which gets you one of these adapters and then two tips of
2:25
your choice so you can have two different devices that you can pop it onto interchangeably and goes all the
2:30
way up to like jumbo packs with 10 of these adapters
2:34
and 20 tips depending on how many people there are in your potentially very large
2:38
family that's more of like a business thing so you can check those out at the
2:42
link in the video description
