0:12
that big huge asteroid that went over Russia not that long ago came in I think
0:16
it was actually a meteorite my bad it came in and everyone the way everyone
0:19
saw it was actually dash cams in people's cars that actually boosted dash
0:23
cam sales by an insane amount and now zman has a solution this is a dash cam
0:28
you can mount it inside of your car has internal recording through a Micro SD
0:32
slot uh you can plug in other modules as well and it's fairly straightforward
0:36
it's just a dash cam but these things I wanted to actually show off because it's
0:41
a really really good idea not just for recording things like meteorites which
0:45
is obviously the most practical use for them but also just in case you want
0:48
extra coverage for insurance if you get in an accident and you have a dash cam
0:52
you have a live recording of what actually just happened so if if if
0:55
someone rolls backwards at a stoplight and you didn't actually hit them
0:59
normally that's your problem because you hit the back of their car but if you
1:02
have a dash cam and you can actually show that they just went way back and
1:06
nailed you and you weren't actually at fault you can get out of that claim and
1:09
then they have to pay you because that's how Insurance works so getting a dash
1:13
cam is a very very good idea now one other cool thing I don't know why I just
1:17
did a 360 but another cool thing that they have is I'm showing it on my phone
1:20
right now it's not that bulky but if you put it on your phone it connects into
1:25
your phone and allows you to charge wirelessly so I'm going to take my phone
1:28
and put it up on this plate and hopefully this will work as you can
1:32
see wireless charging has been enabled so it's just a way to easily make it so
1:35
your phone can accept wireless charging you can grab one of these plates plug it
1:39
in through an AC port and throw it on top of your computer throw it on top of
1:42
your desk have it right by your keyboard have it wherever you could even technically have this plugged in in an
1:47
AC Jack that goes into the smoke outlet in your car so if you want to have wireless charging in your car so you can
1:51
just throw it up on your dash if you want to have it by your computer whatever that works the main thing that
1:55
I like about it is that it's not actually that bulky a lot of these
1:59
Wireless charg things add a ton of space but that actually doesn't add much my
2:03
actual back plate which is hopefully in my pocket is like that and there's as
2:09
you might not be able to see it very well I think I've got another here we go here we go we're going to come over
2:15
here pretty basic thickness comparison right here is it's actually not that big
2:19
I know I'm not holding these perfectly there we go thickness comparison it does
2:23
add a little bit of bulk but it's not much and you gain a lot from having wireless charging on your phone so thank
