REVIEW: 26,800 mAh PowerBank – OLD (Miady PD Powerbank ) vs New (ultra compact Power bank)

This is a long term review and unboxing of my 26,800 mAh PowerBanks i own.
OLD vs New comparison. I have the Miady 26800 mah portable PD power bank ( https://amzn.to/37v2bWf ) for over 1.5 years and now its holds only about 50% of charge. My new IEsafy 26800mAh Portable Power Bank ( https://amzn.to/3nvekQx ) is a lot smaller lighter and holds the same charge. There are other 26,800 USB C PD chargers online ( https://amzn.to/3p4Cdig ) .

I have the Miady 26800 mah portable PD power bank ( https://amzn.to/37v2bWf ) for over 1.5 years and now its holds only about 50% of charge. It is able to PD fast charge smartphones and other devices very quickly. It also allow combined charging from USB C and Mint USB to fast charge the powerbank in 6 hours vs 8-10 hour for typical charge times with other 26,800 mAh power banks.

My new IEsafy 26800mAh Portable Power Bank ( https://amzn.to/3nvekQx ) is a lot smaller lighter and holds the same charge. It takes about 8 – 9 hours to fully charge, and does not have dual charging. It does have USB C and micro USB input charging but does not have USB C device charging. ITs max output from the two USB A ports is 5 V 2.1A. Its size is about 30% smaller than the Miady.

Sterling W – My Current Travel Vlog Gear (DEC 2020)

I get asked what gear i use for vlogging, so I made video and post to answer this question. I typically travel light on my gear and have started to experimented with traveling lighter with less cameras.

I now bring my Samsung Note 20 Ultra ( https://amzn.to/37U6iu2 ) smartphone and my Insta360 ONE R ( https://amzn.to/2Kl9iYo ) as my cameras. I use Samsung Galaxy BUDS+ Plus ear buds ( https://amzn.to/2JQxEJK )as my personal microphone, as both the Samsung Note 20 and Insta360 ONE R are able to use them as microphone inputs through Bluetooth connect.

For supports, I used the same Sunpak metal selfie stick ( https://amzn.to/3nfBF8V )for over 8 years, it was originally for my GoPro. I recently got a new COMAN flexible rubberized tripod online with ball mount( https://amzn.to/2JCLFtR ). I needed a small travel flexible tripod for my my vlogging with my phone and camera to mount my camera or light anywhere. My most recent new support gear is a Moza Mini P 3 axis gimbal stabilizer ( https://amzn.to/2Wbpaza ) which is able to handle cameras up to 900 g in weight. Its very advanced and i am still learning how to use it.

I love the ball head mount. Its all metal base and ball head is very well built. It holds my 2 pound DSLR as well as my cell phone camera without sliding. The top base mount has a 1/4 inch mount and a hidden fold out smart phone holder. The smartphone holder is large enough for my 6.9 inch Samsung Note S20 Ultra to fit in as well my other cell phones.

Review: COMAN Flexible Camera Tripod w/ ball mount and cell phone holder and Bluetooth remote trigger.

I found this Conman Flexible Camera Tripod online ( https://amzn.to/2JCLFtR ). I needed a small travel flexible tripod for my my vlogging with my phone and camera.

I have been using it for over 2 weeks and like the compact yet durable tripod. Starting from the legs, they are metal wire legs covered with rubber. I bend them for a lower tripod height or to use them to grip a pole or branch. The legs are sturdy. The only complaint would be the base of the 3 legs do not spread wide enough and are plastic. This makes it hard to wrap objects that are wider than 4 inches. On the side of the legs base is a 1/4 inch mount for accessories. Pretty useful if you have needed to add a mic or light accessory to your vlogging rig.

I love the ball head mount. Its all metal base and ball head is very well built. It holds my 2 pound DSLR as well as my cell phone camera without sliding. The top base mount has a 1/4 inch mount and a hidden fold out smart phone holder. The smartphone holder is large enough for my 6.9 inch Samsung Note S20 Ultra to fit in as well my other cell phones. The 1/4 inch mount fits most cameras and dslrs. The issue with the 1/4 inch mount is the lack of tightening knob. I basically can have to twist the base mount against my DSLR to tighten, which may mar the base labeling of my camera or mount at an incorrect angle.

I also had issues removing the 1/4 mount off the ball mount. Coman must have put thread lock or glue in the 1/4 inch mount. Even wrenching it with my hands i was not able to loosen it from the ball mount.

The kit came with a bluetooth remote trigger. Hold down the single button for 5 seconds to pair it with a smart phone. It basically calls the down volume key to trigger the smart phone to take a picture or start video recording. Simple and effective. The only problem is the lack of a easy way to open the remote to replace the battery. There are not visible slots. I guess i will have to deal with it when the battery expires.

Overall, this is a good tripod with flexible legs. Definitely more heavy duty than plastic grip tripods. I actually bought 3 of them, one for my camera, and two for lighting.
