Testing 6 Travel Gadgets

Imagine being in front or behind him on the plane lmao. They were probably like wtf is this guy doing behind me..

[@MissMichSan]

Lol I l was thinking the same. I seen the person in front of him just being nosey😄😭

[@brendanrandle]

the U.V cards would be useful on cloudy days where it can be harder to judge

[@dondlab]

Travel blanket fold: Fold in half then roll up and slide into bag. Travel pillow: Open trash can lid, toss deflated travel pillow and “handy storage bag” into trash can, close lid.

Freakin reviews has some balls of steel busting that pillow out on a plane. I would be so embarrassed

Hawaii sun is stronger than Vegas, It's closer to the equator.

[@cheehee808_]

I live here, wouldn’t say it’s stronger but it’s definitely more humid

[@shesforgivennfree]

That pen thing looks like something you would find at the 5 below store.

Sharyn J Or in a yard sale that has a bucket that says free on it, lmao!

[@jimmygreenspan8832]

Did you test the UV card at the beach? Because UV bounces off the water which intensifies the UV on your skin. So not the same as when you're walking around inland.

[@punker4Real]

I got burned once 13 level it only took 6 seconds

[@charissamiller123]

Gz I just wrote something to this effect and then saw your post .. darn ! But ya you got that right !

Lol!

[@meezerluvr]

The pen suffers from what I call the "spork effect."

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

That's a very good term for it. Multiple uses, but it's a bit crap at them all. Nice in theory, but in practice you'd be better at taking decent travel versions of dedicated devices that you'll use, rather than an all-in-one that's just no good at any/most of them.

[@DerekSmit]

One travel gadget I really like is travel bags. It's a set of 6 or 12 different size zipper bags. So you fill one with socks, one with shirts, one with underwear, etc. It really helps keeping your luggage organized if you travel longer and visit multiple places/hotels.

[@cris_j]

For the blanket, I use a down puff jacket instead. I have one from Old Navy that comes with a pouch that turns the jacket into a neck pillow when not worn. Compacts perfectly without much effort. You could easily stuff this jacket into your carry-on outer pocket(s) and skip the neck pillow option.

[@mommyandmatthew6447]

I just buy a small Pillow at dollar store and cheap blanket at walmart $3 and put them in a string bag or tote. The wallet phone stand looks pretty cool.

[@JC-fj7oo]

Most airlines have a free disposable pillow and blanket if you ask for it.

[@gabharri910]

I just brought those ThinOptics readers for my mom! She always needs readers at hand. Thank you for this video!!

[@cutienerdgirl]

13:41 Awww...look at Grandpa!!!🥰

[@juangonzalez9848]

Could be that you got burned at the beach due to reflection from the water as well as not reapplying sunscreen.

[@johnbennett1465]

A coworker came to the southern Florida office I was at from the California bay area. He hung out in the shade next to a pool for a while. He got a bad Sun burn even thou he spends a lot of time in the Sun at home. So yes water can reflect UV and both Florida and Hawaii have much stronger Sun than Las Vegas or Nothern California. Lattitude matters 😎.

[@donnalynn2]

Heck, a neck pillow works for me and it's got a little loop on one end so I am able to attach it to my carry on. I also always wear a shawl on board so if I'm cold I'm covered. They make great blankets.

[@JC-fj7oo]

The UV card doesn't have a lot of use in the desert sun. But in places like Seattle there are days with much less direct sunlight but with a high UV index.

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

Today I saw an ad on the TV at work for the No Stitch, and i think there's no way it can work. I'd love for you to test it!

[@UnseenPlaya]

i bet u could turn inside out the blanket bag and then put the blanket back in and it turns in to a pillow :D

[@katykipling]

that keyboard, though.... I had no idea! laptop died about 3 months ago, and can't really afford the one I'm needing until the end of the year.... so, I'm strictly on my phone for the time being, so this will make messaging, and texting back a million times easier! thank you so much for your review! def *SOLD* on that keyboard; much thanks! 😊

[@valiantknight6364]

They actually have ones that come with a stand on them too. When my laptop broke, this was a lifesaver. Absolutely recommend

[@DarkMetalSpider]

@@valiantknight6364 thank you so much for recommending that; will def check it out! thank you 😊

[@BrittMFH]

Thank you! I had been wondering about a Logitech keyboard. I'll probably get the travel pillow, too!

[@juliewhite9173]

That inflatable travel pillow is popular with people in that sleep through their lunch hours. I've seen videos of students in China who are in classes until midnight using it. Also workers with a long commute. Who are basically exhausted all the time and sleep at their desk.

[@latina3b]

I have the pillow and love it. The material doesn't bother me and I don't put my arms in it either so next time try it like that and see if there's another place to put your arms, instead. 👍 Might have to try the phone stand and blanket 🙂

[@David-wo9un]

Nice review! I love the blue tooth keyboard and will be looking into picking that up. I don’t do a great deal of traveling, so I am not sure I would buy the blanket or pillow. I am looking forward to the road trip gadget review. Thank you James! 👍

[@albundy59]

I have the Logitech bluetooth keyboard, I'm using it to type this. It works great. Beats typing one letter at a time with a finger or even a bluetooth mouse.

[@rdnelson4287]

I have a laser keyboard that works great.

[@WintrBorn]

Bought thinoptics based on your review, love them. I put them in my backpack, since my phone case doesn't have a good place for it to attatch. Thanks James!

[@ChibiChidorii]

When I was in middle school most backpacks had a reader similar to the UV card in one of the straps. It was really nice because even if as a kid you didn't use it much, if your mom or teacher cared they would just look at your strap and tell ypu to apply sunscreen! As an adult it would be nice to have that device (it was tiny) as a keychain!

The pen wore me out. Haha. Nice honest review. Oh that credit card phone stand was nice. The sun screen card is really cool. I do believe that sunscreen would help you no matter what it says but still neat. Cool little thing. Reminds of the fake fortune telling fish from grade school. LOL cool video.

[@Boodieman72]

All you have to do it fly first class, then you will have enough space to fold them up but then you don't need them.

Whenever I go on an airplane I have to wear these things in my ears called earplanes. They regulate the pressure for people like me who’s ears don’t pop. Really interesting gadget, they sell them at drug stores and in airports.

Just saw the commercial for the Spin Power, the charging station that revolves and has a retractable cord. That product has "Freakin' Reviews" written all over it.

[@TracyKMainwaring]

I have that keyboard and loved it. I found it too sensitive with my last phone though. It's working great with our new TV. Love those reading glasses but I wear Progressives

[@jenniferlane2130]

You're a good sport especially with that pillow . 😁

[@udavemartel]

Great reviews, as always. I also have the ThinOptics glasses and they're great. Thanks.

[@sinrock85]

That sun gets more intense as you get closer to the equator. When I went to Death Valley California it was around 112-120, but when I went to the equator on a ship it got to 120-127. I could feel the intensity the second my skin hit the light. I just used the redness on my arms as my UV card. My arms may have changed colors quicker too ;)

[@JamieLuv2u]

I have a similar blanket but it's fuzzier and it has a pocket for your phone so you can listen to music. Comes with an inflatable pillow that you put in the case that holds the blanket, super easy to fold. I can't remember the brand. I traveled with that around the world.

[@whitjones131]

I need that travel blanket!! Last time I flew home from Singapore, my second flight didn't supply blankets like the first flight, and that plane was FREEZING!! Even on the first flight, the blankets they gave were super thin and no one was in the seat next to me so I swiped that blanket and doubled up, lol!! Thanks for the idea!

[@lakelassie934]

I picked up a Welsh wool shawl at a festival. It is pure wool, seems thin but super warm. Anout 70" square. I use in hotel to cozy up and watch 'tv and as extra padding in my carry on if I buy something fragile. Folds or rolls up very flat and small. Wool warms so great and this is black and white check.

[@Equihua77]

Try the bell&howell weed whacker. I saw it on tv today.

[@lauravrc1]

The wallet phone stand and thin optics should go in together and design a way to put both products on the back of the phone since they’re so thin. That would be perfect.

[@RiverTheEmoo]

home boy you need a pop socket not lil stands lmaooo

[@wyatt8062]

These reviews are so human and real

[@krazyktex1]

I'm definitely gonna get the keyboard! Hope you loved Hawaii. I was there about ten years ago. Beautiful place.

[@charissamiller123]

Good thing to note is that if you are by the water it also reflects the sun rays 2wice as much !

[@ghiagoo]

The reason for the velvet flocking on the travel pillow, is that it feels much better, hard to believe, than just the plastic pillow. Without the flocking, it’s just like a floatation device.

[@cb2000a]

The sun in Hawaii can be brutal during certain times of the year. Fair skinned people are wise to just stay out of the sun from 10am to 3pm or so. We can have maximum UV's from May through Sept. My old Samsung Note 4 actually has a UV sensor on it.

[@benson4u215]

Went to hawaii with a friend and his parents for our birthdays around july 19th, and not even after 3 hours of catching some Z's on turtle beach,he was burnt!

[@GOGOSLIFE]

Lol, putting that pillow back in the bag, is how we men think it is when we put a one-size fits-all condom on!

[@m2pt5]

Multi-function pen - I bet 2 would make a better phone stand than 1. (Or even if the end with the little hook split in two and spread a bit, even just half an inch or so.)

[@kaibaCorpHQ]

[@jaxthibert4293]

I love the Logitech keyboard, that is one product I need. Thank you for showing it.

[@pino28041]

Eeeeeeee the good life huh! 🤣 Anyway, I would most likely try the pillow as I go to my Homeland of Italy once a year ( just came back actually and that pillow would of came handy ). CIAO!

[@Luna.3.3.3]

Oooh! I like the glasses! I need them every time grocery shopping 'cus I'm a label reader. I'm old school about typing as well. I still one-finger type on my phone... yes, I know - lame.

[@utasora]

Which video or what's the Amazon link for that wallet phone stand? I want it!

[@curtwinterstein1067]

You need to learn Origami for the pillow and blanket..... Great Video!!

[@戴戴帽子]

You are better off bending a paper clip to use as a phone stand than use that pen

[@Steve_in_NJ]

You're in Hawaii, there's lots of sunshine. You could always be like the Japanese tourists in Honolulu and walk around under a rain umbrella to stay in the shade (not me, I bathe in sunblock). Oh, and the ABC store in Hawaii was the first time (and only place) I saw sunblock with SPF 100!!!! Like, why bother then?

[@KonkeyVG]

Oh man I always try to sleep on the plane with my head leaning forward. That product seemed perfect for me but I'm glad you said it was claustrophobic, I imagine I would find it very uncomfortable. Quality reviews.

[@kellyc2425]

What a cool video! Love the travel snips

[@cafenightster4548]

So did the bottle opener work on the pen thing?

[@MissChoksondik90]

I feel your pain with the velvety material. My parents bought a living room suit and when I went to visit them...I ended up putting a blanket over the couch (slept on it for 3 nights). It makes my skin crawl and weirdly makes my skin feel "dirty" in a way. It's weird.

[@lorenclarke7815]

Really enjoy the reviews. Would guess the UV meter only gets the direct sunlight when held up, probably doesn't account for what's reflected off water. The pillow would have been great after retina reattatchment surgery. Had to keep face down to keep gas bubble at back of eye. May have made reading, watching Freakin' Reviews, and sleeping easier.

[@ram89572]

God that sounds horrific. Hope it wasn't too painful.

[@lorenclarke7815]

Had a great sugeon, pain wasn't too bad. Going stir crazy during recovery (7 weeks off work) was the worst.

[@DarkfuryGaming]

For the blanket you should see how it's fold it properly. Unfolded slowly so you can study how it was fold it

[@beez1717]

I loved the mystery bag!

[@mszoomy]

Viewer from Florida here, you'll always get more sunburn at the beaches or on the river/lake because the water acts like a mirror and bounces th rays all over the place. It would have been interesting to see how that "uv" card reacted to a regular uv flashlight if at all. I know you've got one of those in the vineyard someplace I'm surprised you didn't think to test it out

[@OkieOtaku]

$15?! You can buy that pen at Dollar Tree!

[@waynepile5084]

Awesome pen dude! I'll bet they'll be giving them away soon. Supplies limited! All jokes aside, great reviews!

[@nickcolello3240]

Is the phone stand also a bottle opener??

[@jimdreger4626]

For the pillow: If you know someone who likes to sew, maybe they would make a silk cover for it. The keyboard: I like it...I may buy it. The blanket: I travel a lot I always carry a light weight shirt, works better than a blanket 'cuz you don't have to try to figure to keep it on your shoulders.

[@greenblazer4167]

[@thesovietonion4671]

1:21 3 inch ruler...perfect for measuring you know what

[@Spartan536]

I have an idea for a travel blanket... make it soft yet breathable for temperature regulation, something like TenCel. On the inside of the carrier on the carrier itself you have printed instructions on how to refold the blanket for open or confined spaces so that it fits neatly and easily into the package. $39.99 should make a nice profit on something like that.

Having been to all corners of the states and one international trip, the product I want is a portable charge hub. I charge everything from my phone, ipad, ipod, vape, laptop, switch...It's insane. The closest I have come is an x4 18650 charger that charges the batteries which you can then charge devices with, but that's more for mobile charging. I want that with the option just to charge from the wall, with a slew of ports.

[@WintrBorn]

IMDARKFIRE007 I found a 6 port QI charger that's a decent size. I believe I bought mine fron Fasttech.com, which does take some time to come to you, but worth it.

[@bigtank1982]

If you need a phone stand, just get a case with one built in or a pop socket. A lot easier than carrying around an additional item.
