Honestly I'm impressed that the solar panels outputted so much considering their size, though it did look sunny.

[@MegaLag]

They can actually produce more! Although it was a sunny day, I had tested it on sunnier days and gotten 135watts in input (which is the most the Jackery 1000 can take). Otherwise the panels individually can get about 95 watts each in perfect conditions!

[@ZaleARogers]

[@undertale]

I bought a Jackery in summer and it literally was amazing I worked outside every single day only problem was finding places where I got 5g and it was fast

[@marcin959]

People outside the UK won't have these issues. Mobile connection is far superior in other European countries.

[@ScientistInvests]

I did it while writing my thesis, in my case it was national park office. And I only needed jackery 240 + one solar saga 100W. It was surprisingly productive week for me. Though without starlink :)

[@MegaLag]

Awesome man! That combo would certainly be enough if you’re working with a laptop and mobile internet!

[@Hukkinen]

OH, I'm so happy to hear about this setup and especially the way to manage productivity with it! :D

This is one of the very few channels I get excited for when a new video is dropped. Your narrative sounding voice is perfect for the type of videos you do. Easy to understand and listen to. The amount of effort you put into your videos are great.

Starlink and solar power, just as the Technoking envisioned!

[@gonickogogo]

Wow, this project really impressed me. When I saw the video title, my first thought was "Has MegaLag's quick success transitioned into shillery so quickly?!" I was glad to see an honest review and a really cool use-case. Who wouldn't want to spend their workday in the park? The Jackery seems a lot more useful to me now--I had seen Linus's video on powering a boat using one, but I don't own a boat so that meant nothing to me. And your speeds with Starlink were double what I get with wired internet at home in the largest city in North America! Really good job, and thank you for showing both the uses and limitations of the current state of these products.

[@Bebs_]

When you pulled out the solar panels I knew this would be an epic video!

[@EthanReimann]

Thank you for featuring me in the video! It was a great video. Starlink is working great for our internet. We get around 100Mbps download and 10Mbps upload.

[@Evanzap1]

40 ping? That’s an upgrade from my wifi!

[@IMRROcom]

Starlink will be nice for for my 201ft M/Y during my 2023 world tour. Only problem is I do not have the money for any of that...

[@WillLeingang]

[@Evanbear1]

[@benesser7860]

Füchschen? Good choice! Probably my favorite Alt bier. Need to go back to the Altstadt and get some more...

[@emmettpickerel5016]

Awesome that Jackery sent you product for the video! I looked at their power stations a couple of years ago but opted against them for the weakness that they only provide low-wattage USB-C. If it supported up to the current spec (100W) you could have powered your laptop and ipad without the loss from the inverter. Unfortunately, all the makers of power banks seem to do an either-or choice: either it's got an inverter OR it has full-speed usb-c power delivery (I've got one that does up to 87 watts usb-c). That said, pretty brilliant setup, and I'm glad you pushed it to an almost silly extreme!

[@RealThore]

Hey MegaLag, just a little advice on German laws (the Medienstaatsvertrag). You have to communicate, when you got e.g. some hard- or software given for free by someone with a commercial interest. Something like “Unterstützt durch Produktplatzierung” for (I think) 5 seconds in the beginning and in the end (in one corner of the video is enough). Nevertheless a great video, I really love your storytelling!

[@MegaLag]

Thanks for the compliment and the heads up! Do you by any chance know of a website where all of this is explained in English? Or perhaps an official website I can translate to English? Would help a lot! Thanks again!

[@0xbenedikt]

@@MegaLag The free WiFi for the public is really nice of you, but unfortunately a grandma recently successfully got sued for having an open wifi that someone used for piracy. In Germany, if you’re unlucky, you’re on the hook for your guests.

[@ChristofferETJ]

I remember visiting Australia several years ago. When I arrived, I went to purchase a prepaid SIM card. What a shock! Excruciatingly expensive, painfully slow. Vodafone. Luckily, as my prepaid SIM was about to run out of data, I received a message from my everyday phone service provider. They were now extending their included roaming service to Australia (and New Zealand). Limited to about half my allowance in my native country. Which was still more than I could find offered by any local phone service provider. Of course, it didn't do anything to improve the connection speeds.

[@prabhsaini1]

@Harry Groundwater tbh wifi these days is okay but mobile data is like not even in this country

[@prabhsaini1]

@Harry Groundwater i have nbn fifty, even on the worst days i have garunteed 20mbps+ which is okay enough

[@prabhsaini1]

@Harry Groundwater optus, ten bucks off with mobile plan comes to around 65 a month. its not cheap but its the things we have to do for internet. live outer suburbs of melbourne

[@prabhsaini1]

@Harry Groundwater no problem have a good day but their mobile data is absolutely trash in my house i get 1 bar 4g

[@Dunicht69]

[@MegaLag]

Thanks brother!

[@Lowkeyyshorts]

Almost thought this video was sponsored by Jackery but then I remembered Monday at the start of the video 😂

[@esoel]

Just a little note, you probably know already but just in case... if you plug your laptop directly in the battery's usb-c plug it should be much more efficient (you avoid 2 conversions ), assuming the battery supports the current/voltage combination needed by the laptop (USB-C sucks...). I would be curious to know if that works(if the battery supports it), if you test it.

[@MorganAntoinette]

Mega Lsg out here got me watching 11 min and 45 second commercials… and loving it. Stay golden.

[@dafa5911]

Would be interesting to put the dish on a car (maybe pickup truck) and drive around to test Starlinks coverage.

Actually by using the usb c plugs on the jackery for the iPad and MacBook you can safe a good amount of power by skipping the AC conversion.

[@JeremyMarkel]

Thanks for the video. I'm a member of a search and rescue team (in BC Canada) and we often get deployed into areas with no phone coverage so I'm currently doing field trials with the Starlink RV version to see how well it's going to work for us in remote areas. We have a command truck with a generator which powers the Starlink which we use most of the time but we also have a mobile command unit with a Dell Rugged laptop, portable printer, and a Jackery 500 for when we don't need the larger truck. The mobile command unit is basically what you tested minus the coffee machine :). My next tests will be how long we can run without charging up the Jackery although we do generally have a generator along that we can fall back on.

[@MegaLag]

Hi Jeremy, thanks for sharing! Your use-case is a perfect example of how this kind of setup can come in real handy for more real-world scenarios! I hope it works out well for you guys. Thanks for the hard work you’re doing for your community!

I've been doing park office the past few weeks. I get 5 hours on my laptop so I go home once it runs out. I sometimes use a canoe seat on the picnic table bench for back support or just a cushion. I have my laptop bag and another bag to carry my lunch/cushion/blanket. It is saving me from going crazy being at home all day.

[@okatbikes4917]

Not sure Jimmy Savile was the best person to focus on in that Zoom call.

[@dragonheatgaming5005]

[@MegaLag]

Hi there, thanks for pointing this out! Unfortunately I had no idea that someone was trolling the zoom call. I've gone ahead and edited out the zoom-in scenes, however, I cannot blur the individuals face. For what ever reason, once a video has been edited with the YT editor, blurring faces is no longer allowed. So this is the best I can do for now. Again, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

[@ThisNameWasntTaken]

As a techy from the 90s this is really cool. That being said this is a really 90s solution. There's Laptops that can handle light work loads on battery for over 10hours easily they often also have their own LTE antenna. So all you basically need is a laptop. Also man get a better data plan. 3gig for 10€ is really bad. I got 10gig for the same price and with the option to cancel any time. What I could imagine this being useful for is a DJ set or as you did an extensive outdoor shoot

[@finnjacobs]

This would be perfect for going out camping somewhere, use the solar panels during the day to power your gear and keep the battery at 100%, which then can last you through the night and then back in the morning you repeat the process.

[@benjaminfox7105]

Wow. What a grouse video! :-) Well done, my friend! Really made me smile! Plus the Jackery gear looks awesome! Here in the Northern Territory - we go camping often enough, but haven't invested in a power solution yet. Will definitely have a look. Your channel is going gang-busters mate! Keep up the great work!

[@MegaLag]

Cheer Benjamin, really appreciate the kind words mate! Yeah the Jackery is great, I’m sure it would come in very hand when camping. But Unless you’re cooking with it, the 1000 would likely be a bit overkill for camping. But hey, if you go often enough, I suppose the extra juice wouldn’t hurt!
