0:00 so today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing and product demo in the
0:04 cameraman's Beamer okay so this is a tet
0:07 tracks invisible attraction xway line
0:11 okay so I'm not even going to try to decipher the name because you can
0:15 clearly see that this is not some of it is not English okay but here we have
0:20 English GPS and Smartphone holder then
0:23 you see a couple of circles and then an x-shaped bracket okay so let's go around
0:28 to the back of the box where it's explain a little bit how to use it if
0:32 you could see past the 100% madeen Italy
0:35 sticker which I'm going to try and remove on camera here so that you can
0:39 there we go so you can see that the bracket actually attaches to your vents
0:44 and then you can affix a phone or a GPS to it apparently without any hassle so
0:49 we're going to test it with the cameraman's iPhone I'm going to go ahead and start getting this box open here
0:54 hopefully I don't slip and slice the leather cuz apparently you know being a
1:00 cameraman is a pretty uh lucrative line of work these
1:05 days okay so you know leather seats and
1:10 iPhones and have I've ever shown you my phone my phone is like ghetto look at
1:15 this thing it's like Sano it's like not
1:19 even a good Sano phone okay so we've got these little discs which have adhesive
1:24 backing on them okay so there's the little disc it's got a little bit of a
1:28 shape to the top bit of a bump on the top of it there's the adhesive backing
1:31 and it comes with two so it comes with a little tray that holds both of them that
1:35 I totally accidentally ripped there and then it comes with the bracket itself so
1:41 here is the bracket it's a soft sort of um a rubberized feel to it okay and then
1:48 if I could figure out how to do this I
1:51 would let's see if I can figure out how to how to open the bracket because I
1:56 don't understand oh you know what I think it's as simple as this I think all
2:00 that you do because you can see it rotates here all that you do is slide it
2:05 onto the grill here and if I break it I'm sure he's
2:10 going to kill me so I'm going to need just another moment to figure oh it
2:14 unscrews there we go brilliant okay so you unscrew it from the front and you
2:19 can see that that widens the Gap a little bit okay so I can press that
2:22 together now and then it has like rubberized tips on it so it's not going to slide anywhere so I can put that on
2:27 if I unscrew it just a little bit more there we go now I've got that sitting on
2:32 there really good okay so then you can tighten it up there it sits you can
2:36 still adjust this uh not quite as much
2:40 you can see it does block it a little bit so you might want to put it on a vent that you're not using all of the
2:44 time and then with your smartphone or your GPS you take the little adhesive
2:49 back thing and I haven't actually asked him I I didn't explain how this works
2:53 and I didn't ask him if I can put this on the back I think it's quite a strong adhesive so hopefully he either uses
2:58 this thing or he can get it off off so I'm going to try and Center it as best I
3:02 can for him uh it's not moving anymore that was it okay so that's on the back
3:07 of the iPhone now okay and then you put it
3:11 there that's it so it allows you to use
3:14 the device uh as like a handsfree sort
3:18 of you know you don't have to oh that actually holds really good too so you
3:22 can see the shape right here is so that it fits into a little Groove in the
3:26 golden in the golden magnet so you can mount it supposed it was a GPS you could
3:31 line it up properly for one thing and then you could mount it sideways or you
3:35 could mount it this way that is actually
3:38 pretty cool so thank you for checking out my unboxing and yeah you can see
3:43 this is like on there really good like look how much I can I can tug on this
3:47 and finally it comes away so even if you were to break or accelerate you know as
3:52 fast as a BMW can not at all like my car
3:55 then uh yeah that's that's actually really cool thank you for checking out
3:58 my unboxing but
