  • - Hey guys, this is Austin,

  • and today we are going on an adventure.

  • So when Mi reached out and wanted to sponsor a video

  • on their Power Bank Pro, I felt like

  • what better way of showing it off,

  • then to give you guys a sneak peek

  • at the kind of travel tech that we take with us.

  • With 10,000 milliamp hours of capacity,

  • this is going to have plenty of juice

  • to power all of our devices during the trip,

  • and it does come in a pretty small and sleek form factor,

  • unlike some other larger battery banks,

  • this is going to be easy to fit in your pocket,

  • easy to fit in a bag, no problem.

  • So as you'd expect, it's straight-forward to use.

  • We have a full sized U-S-B eight

  • port to charge your devices.

  • The power bank itself is charged

  • with a U-S-B C port, and you have

  • a little battery indicator here

  • to see how much charge your battery bank has.

  • The Mi Power Bank also comes with

  • this U-S-B A cable to U-S-B C,

  • so you just plug it in and you can

  • charge your devices this way,

  • but if you don't have something that

  • charges with U-S-B C, you just pop off this little end here,

  • and you're also going to be getting this micro U-S-B.

  • And of course, you can't leave without

  • making sure your phone is charged.

  • So the Power Bank Pro has enough juice

  • to charge something like the Pixel two,

  • two in a half times, and it does support

  • a full eighteen watts of output,

  • so something like the pixel is

  • going to be easy to fast charge.

  • Alright, that's enough talk.

  • Let's get out of here and actually,

  • well, show the travel tech.

  • I mean, that's what you came for, right?

  • (hip-hop music)

  • So the first things we do on any trip

  • is, well, spend time on a plane,

  • and what better way to do that,

  • then with a Nintendo Switch.

  • So, not only is it great for a little bit of

  • two-player Mario Kart, but of course,

  • the Mi Power Bank is able to fully charge it no problem.

  • Just keep in mind that you can't fast charge the Switch.

  • Now I'll have you know, that I would have

  • won the Mario Kart match, if it weren't for Ken

  • not actually shooting the video.

  • You know, it's kind of hard to play

  • with one hand and shoot with the other.

  • And yes, these are excuses in fact.

  • Now, because we were just up here

  • for about twenty-four hours, and we're

  • shooting a couple videos, I'm traveling pretty light.

  • So in addition to the camera we're shooting with right now,

  • I also have my Sony R-X 100.

  • And what's nice about this guy,

  • is that even though it's a tiny,

  • little pocket-able camera, we're actually

  • still getting some pretty nice looking four K video.

  • - So this camera also has its fair bit of trade offs,

  • like for example, it only records

  • for five minutes in four K, which

  • obviously I'd like for that to be longer,

  • but also, it doesn't have the greatest

  • battery life in the world, which is

  • where something like the Mi Power Bank comes in.

  • - The main camera we're using today though,

  • is the Sony A 6500.

  • Now in a lot of ways you can think of this

  • as the bigger brother to the R-X 100.

  • So not only do we have an interchangeable lens,

  • we're also getting a proper microphone input,

  • and importantly, a much bigger, super thirty-five sensor.

  • However, we actually forgot to charge the batteries,

  • so the Mi Power Bank, about to come in handy.

  • Actually legitimate, I'm going

  • to plug your camera in right now.

  • (laughs)

  • Now, I can legitimately say the Mi

  • is literally powering this video.

  • Of course, no travel is complete

  • without a smart phone, which is

  • where the iPhone ten comes in.

  • So this is my daily driver right now,

  • and for the most part I've been pretty happy.

  • However, both Ken and I are also

  • rocking the Google Pixel Two.

  • I like the Pixel two, whereas Ken's rocking the X-L,

  • but we're both using it for pretty much the same reason.

  • The camera is absolutely the best

  • you can get on a smart phone right now.

  • - [Ken] So one of the things I've been doing recently

  • is taking thumbnails for YouTube using the Pixel two,

  • and this is going to be the one for this video.

  • - So after a day of shooting, next step

  • is to bring the footage back and actually start editing.

  • So, our weapon of choice here is going

  • to be the 2016 MacBook Pro.

  • Actually never really updated to the newer one,

  • but this is sort of our mobile work station.

  • As you can see, the desk is a little bit of a mess,

  • thanks to, well, all of the stuff we need,

  • including dongles and S-S-D's to edit off of,

  • but one of the most important things

  • is going to be our headphones.

  • I've talked about these in many videos before,

  • but these are the Status C-B ones,

  • and especially when you're editing on like planes,

  • and hotel rooms and all over the place,

  • it's nice to have a good pair of headphones

  • that you know you can trust, especially

  • when you're editing footage that was shot in a park,

  • and in China Town, and on a plane, it's nice to

  • actually know that your audio is not going to be terrible.

  • So that is everything that is in our travel bag,

  • and of course, huge shout out to Mi

  • for sponsoring this video, and if you guys

  • want to check out the Power Bank Pro for yourselves,

  • the links will be in the description over on Amazon.

  • Now, you might be wondering why am I

  • riding this incredibly stylish scooter.

  • Well this is the Mi Electric Scooter,

  • and they actually gave me one to not only

  • check off on this video, but also to give away for you guys.

  • So this is really cool, because not only

  • are you getting eighteen miles or range on this guy,

  • but it's also convenient if you need

  • to take it for a little trip, for example,

  • I know Ken takes this back and forth

  • around work all the time, and what's cool

  • is if you want to actually travel with it,

  • it's simple just undoing this one thing

  • and then it will clip together right here,

  • and you just pick it up and walk around with it like this.

  • It's pretty lightweight.

  • So just like with the Power Bank Pro,

  • you can check out our link to this guy

  • on Amazon in the description, and I do

  • have one extra to give away to you guys.

  • To enter, all you need to do is

  • leave the word "scooter" in a comment in this video.

  • In two weeks I'm going to randomly select

  • one and send you guys a scooter.

  • Okay guys, thank you so much for watching

  • and I will catch you on the next one.

- Hey guys, this is Austin,
