@@ciaraboyle30 it most certainly does! That's the camera it's on in the video. The RF and RF-S lenses both fit the EOS R bodies.

@Accounting4Cycling okay. Thank you very much. Very pleased to know that.

I have not, and I have accidently yanked my jersey off without taking the BibSnaps off! The bib ripped, the jersey did not! I had done that before with safety pins and the safety pins sliced straight through the fabric, but "saved" the bib.

@Accounting4Cycling Thanks..

@@jasonharris630 how is this relevant?

I just followed SILCA's instructions on the back of the Secret Blend packaging, it worked great! Good to know you can cut some time out of the process! Thanks for the tip, though! (90C, for others reading, wax melter was in F)

There should be a thin cable with a 3 or 4 pin rectangular head at the end, it may have shaken loose in transit. If that's the case, you just have to plug it back in and it should be back up and glowing!

@@AlanZags it can do that! It's great!

@WalterTheBalter this is much more in line with the C300, but they're all very similar in their core. Both the C300X and C300 (or "AC") can be used as AC UPS backups and have AC outlets on the front. The C300X comes with the shoulder strap for carrying, the C300 (AC) can have it as an accessory. The DC version has USB-C in place of the AC outlets. Thanks for watching!

@@Accounting4Cycling I got two 300dc’s gave one to a homie I prefer the ac model for anyone out out had more features for my use since I use cinema cameras

@WalterTheBalter I've been running my bedroom/balcony TV off it all late summer and fall! The "free" electricity to watch playoff baseball has been pretty amazing!

@@gavinwilkinson100 happy to help, thanks for watching!

The RTX 4060 and a 2TB ssd is definitely a beast of a work laptop! I use my as a mobile editing workstation. It is most certainly NOT a gaming laptop, however, you can do some gaming on it! It's nice to be able to have a good "do-it-all" that rig that doesn't look and sound like a spaceship, unlike my Alienware x17r1! 😅

@chrisb0803 Longterm, it's not recommended as you can burn out the inverter if too much power comes through, short term has been fine, though. I also usually have a battery bank charging off the 60w USB-C on the panel, too. So it's not getting close to the full 200, it also likely would cap out closer to 150 from an efficiency standpoint. I would recommend sticking to a 100w panel like Anker does, though, to each their own.

You should just be able to plug it into a USB 2 or higher port and it should be recognized by your computer. If that doesn't work, you may want to have your computer scan for new devices and/or try another USB port. Thanks for watching!

@@Accounting4Cycling sorry for getting so worked up btw 😅 I eventually disabled my default webcam and now it automatically uses the go cam as long as it’s plugged in

Yeah, if you want to put a 4070 into the machine, it should work just fine. Just make sure the power supply has enough juice for whichever card you decide on, but you might not be able to use the GPU bracket (it comes off with a few screws). The case is massive and should support most cards. Thanks for watching!

That's what I do! I have a Shure MV7x on a boom arm that I use at my desk, or I use a lot of headsets for calls. I also have wireless lavalier mics that are all setup in OBS. I rarely have the webcam mic on, it's there for show and a backup. 😅

@@Accounting4Cycling Thank you!

With AIOs there's an incredibly low risk of a leakage coming from the system, but it is still a risk. Gigabyte claims there was a capacitor that just decided it's time was up and the new CPU might've triggered it to finally pop. No harm, no foul. They repaired it and sent it back, the board has been running like a champ with the new CPU for the last year! Thanks for watching!

@@Accounting4Cycling I finally got the option of an air-cooled cooler

Thanks for the comment! I know, it was a knee-jerk purchase, not fully knowing where I was going to keep everything. The 25-foot cable is WAY too long!

There should be a light that indicates it's charging, plus a battery symbol on the taskbar with the battery status.

Directions?!!! .. Errr! .. it's instructions!

At the time I made the video, the C300X didn't actually have real instruction. The QR code just went to Anker's general support page. lol I found out later that the C300, C300X, and C300 DC are mostly the same on the inside, just with different ports and abilities on the with AC (the DC can't be used as a UPS battery backup).

It wouldn’t be an unboxing video if he did that. Having said that, I was cringing when he kept turning and flipping the power station upside down. It clearly states in the instructions that it should never be laid on its side or worse be put upside down. Since reading that I’ve made sure I dont do this.

Never been!😅 It was a beautiful run!

Thanks for pointing the sticker out! I must've missed it while editing. 🫠

@@Accounting4Cycling Yeah need to be careful with that! 😅

Thanks for watching!

@PrimalShutter I'm sure that would help. The FH02 has plenty of brightness to spare, we just usually shine it right on our living room wall as a "second TV" when there's a lot of sports on or against a sheet for outside viewing. It's an incredible complete setup! The EF-11 is excellent when you're better able to control the lighting, but still has more than enough brightness to stand out, just lacks the streaming stick in the box.

@karikaru there were a lot of boxes to unbox in this one!😅

I completely agree on the clumping. I started noticing clumping when using FlipBelt flasks or similar oddly shaped bottles. Even in the bigger/normal shaped ones, I've started filling halfway and mixing with a little hand mixer thing. Seems to do the trick. As far as the old EFS-Pro, the scoop was smaller, but it also required three scoops for the full effectiveness (120 cal). FE is pretty open about finding the right mix for your effort: one, two, five scoops. Okay, maybe not five! I've also been on a big kick of the regular EFS, the orange flavor is just great! Thanks for watching!

@sugarmaker67 A staple of big brand builds, it at least has dual channel RAM! 😅

@sreee4347 they do not. They leave a faint impression on some delicate fabrics, but it goes away with time and/or washing them. They're a staple of my race day kit!

@@Accounting4Cycling thanks for the reply

@@sreee4347 thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!

I got a really good deal on the RF24-105MM as a Canon refurbished deal. I wouldn't mind checking the RF-S pens out, too, but the overlap and cost kind of rules it our for now. My new RF lens is likely going to be the RF16mm. Thanks for watching!

I'm actually selling my 18-150mm and buying 2 different lenses to replace it, because it is decent for a budget all-purpose lens, but the quality at the high and low ends suffers. At 150mm, there is noticeable vignetteing, and mild loss of sharpness. At 18mm there is also so lens distortion which im not sure exactly whats causing it, but it isnt the best. There's a reason the super expensive lenses aren't "18-150mm" it's because the more range of zoom you give a lense, the more the quality suffers. Basically, chose your battles. You can have one mediocre lense that does it all, or 2-3 great lenses that you have to swap out for different zooms.

@shirlyiza6207 I think so, I would suggest using a measuring tape first. Especially before buying the AIO, look up the physical length to ensure it'll fit.

@@Accounting4Cycling Thanks for the reply. New subscriber here in your channel

@@shirlyiza6207 happy to help! Thanks for the sub!

@@PabloOG5Z I'd try upgrading to Windows 11, but it sounds like a clean install would be a good idea if the upgrade doesn't help.

Thanks for watching! You should be good with three 4k60 monitors, the only issue that might come up is with certain AMD CPUs (seems to be limited exclusively to Asus laptops with AMDs) and M1 & M2 Macbooks. I've been loving this dock and I hope you do, too!

@@Accounting4Cycling Thanks a lot for reply! I also see another model "Anker 777" which is available in my region, 778 is out of stock. Can I go for that as well? Or wait for 778 model?

@ali-13392 it is different, still a very nice model dock, I would just make sure it has all of the ports you need on it.

@@Accounting4Cycling Sure, thanks a lot for reply!

@ali-13392 you bet! Happy to help!

@MikeDyson99 I think that's a good price! It'd be hard to find an i7-12700F and RTX 3080 for that price. Including 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a motherboard, storage, and a case is a nice bonus!

I'd recommend it, especially if you're not looking at building your own right out of the gate. The components can definitely be updated, switched out, removed, or moved into a different case if you'd like. I think this is a great all around "starter" gaming desktop. It's gets you started with a powerful CPU, GPU, and RAM combination that can handle just about everything at full settings. There's even a second m.2 for another NVMe SSD and the pre-wired SATA bays on the bottom of the case is a nice touch for upgradeability. I actually transplanted the CPU & GPU from the Orion 5000 into my main desktop editing/gaming rig, while putting my old i7-12700F and older 3070 into the Orion 5000. I even tested an i3-12100 in it out of curiosity, the i3 was obviously a massive bottleneck!😂 If you can find the updated version with a 4070, that's a cool option, but the 3070 is a solid GPU! The link in the description should bring you to the page on Amazon that has the different configurations, too. (I may earn a commission from the Amazon Affiliate links)

​@@Accounting4Cycling omg thank you very much for responding with great detail, I was actually looking at the version with the 4070, I had doubts with the price being so low, but seeing what you told me I will opt for this PC, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Stay away from it. In Acer pcs you can't upgrade anything because they rivet their motherboard to the case. The power supply is also only made for the case and you can never install it in a new case. The only thing you can change is the ram and possibly the ssd and HDD. Please let a professional put together a decent PC for the same price.

@sullymaster96 I mean, that just an outright lie. You can, and I have, change out every major component in this machine. Motherboard, PSU, GPU, even the case if you really want to! I literally hold up the motherboard from the 2022 Predator Orion, still in working order, btw, during this video! The 2022 Predator Orion case was sold with the old internals of my editing PC installed in it. No rivets required! The purpose of the Predator series is to be upgradable, tinkerer friendly, and possibly built in and/or built on. I get what you're trying to say, have a PC built for you because it'll be better overall, but not everyone wants to go through that. Some want a good system, still built by professionals, with an inclusive warranty, and cohesive software. Please, leave the recommendations to the professionals and refrain from broad, disparaging remarks until you've at least watched the video enough to make an informed comment. Thank you for watching!

@@Accounting4Cycling Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the new series from Acer, I had the Orion 3000 at the time and the motherboard was an Acer creation, so you couldn't detach it from the case because it was glued so hard that you would have destroyed it when you removed it, the power supply was from a no-name brand that nobody knows and was designed for 500 watts, which would have been far too little for the system. Just because they have changed a few things now .... doesn't change the fact that Acer builds poorly thought-out PCs that are simply miserable in terms of cooling and you just get more performance out of it for the same money, as I said.

It was about 25-30 minutes for the wax to fully melt. I'm sure if you were to stir it a bit that the wax would melt faster. The soaking of the chain was about a roughly half hour process that was two (I think) 10-minute "agitate then soak" sessions at max temp, one while it drops to 75C, and then hang dry for about an hour. SILCA has a FAQ that I used along with the instructions on the back of the StripChip packaging. Both are extremely helpful and found here: alnk.to/aLITBod

@naheel3948 you would connect the projectors' HDMI input to the laptop's video out (HDMI, DP, USB-C DP). You would have to disconnect the steaming stick, but all HDMI devices should just plug into the projector. You may have to select what to do with it on your laptop; i.e. extend, mirror, show only on 1 or 2, etc, in display settings

In most cases, you should be able to invert the image in the streaming or video call app. It's usually in the settings and can just be checked, but you should also be able to activate this in Logi Tune. Thanks for watching!

@Andersonsilva-lr1pb the USB dongle that came with it ir a separate USB drive? The port is mostly for power and servicing. Thanks for watching!

@@Accounting4Cycling I'm referring to the USB input that doesn't accept a pen drive. If you have a movie on the pen drive, you won't be able to connect it to the projector.

@Andersonsilva-lr1pb you'd have to either send it through a PC or another HDMI compatible device that can play it. USB-A for power only is becoming more common on a lot of "smart" devices, this is one of those.

It definitely is upgradeable! CPU for sure! (see the livestream where I actually downgrade the PO5000 and find out my main MB is shot) GPU definitely can, too, but you may not be able to get the overkill GPU bracket to connect to the new one. The motherboard layout is a standard ATX, so it should work, you just might have to make sure all cooler parts and such are installed prior to mounting in the case. You'll also have a useless m.2 mount on the right side for the no longer aimed off the MB second m.2 slot, probably.

I completely get that argument, and in most daily use cases, that's true. The big win for a projector is when you want the cinematic experience (larger than life size) in a small package, or just something that is more portable and still able to throw a truly massive image! Ours gets used for a second screen shot onto the wall in the living room during busy sporting times (like the Olympics 😎). The ability to store this "second screen" in a closet or anywhere I can put something the size of a textbook is something you just can't do with a cheap 4k TV. My Epson EF-11 is more permanently placed next to my indoor bike trainer, but I use it more frequently as an extreme sized, space saving display for everyday viewing and for use with Zwift, picture quality against a 4k TV isn't the biggest draw for those. Our living room has a LG 65" 4k TV as the primary display, but sometimes you just want to have a second 200" screen next to it! Also, for $1500, you could get an unbelievable 4k projector that will not only knock you socks off, but you'd be able to watch the Sox in an image size as though you're at the ballpark!

Yes, thank you!

Glad I could help! It was ultra smooth, just make sure to shift through the gears a few times in a place where it'll be easy to clean the excess dry wax spray. I put my vacuum through a good workout! 😅 Thanks for watching!

mine too

@naveensarvananthan5875 I mean, the fans are noisy. Acer doesn't have quiet fans down yet, but you can swap them at a later time for a pretty low cost. Very interesting you found a laptop to be quiet, this will be more background wirring, vs flight deck of an aircraft carrier (gaming laptop) with much better performance.

I believe the motherboard is just using a standard Intel LGA 1700 cooler mount (at least 12-14th gen mount). The case is definitely wide enough to allow for a larger air coolers and the fan mounts in front and top should allow for a 240-280mm water cooler. In a different system I have, I swapped the tiny Intel stock cooler (much smaller than the Acer one, which I believe is made by Cooler Master) with an ARTIC Freezer 34 Duo. It's reasonably priced (~US$50) and very quiet, but I've also heard excellent things about the Noctua NH-D15 (US$120) for keeping even the hottest CPUs cool! GamersNexus has a lot of detailed videos on almost any cooler you can imagine, too. In my main editing & gaming rig, which is where the 13700F & RTX 3070 were transplanted, I use a Razer Hanbo 240mm AIO liquid cooler. It's a fine cooler, but a little on the pricier end and held hostage by Razer Synapse. Prior to being sent the Hanbo, I was looking into the Corsair H100 and the NZXT Kraken 240mm AIOs.

@@Accounting4Cycling Thanks for responding again bro! I really appreciate your time. I found a Noctua NH-U12A that I think I am going to get. How hard is it to replace the cooler though? Would I have to pull out the motherboard? I am a newbie lol, but feel confident I can figure it out with right direction!

It's not too bad, the back panel of the case comes off to help make it even easier. No need to remove the motherboard for most cooler installs, big thing to remember is to reapply thermal paste with the new cooler (unless it comes with some on it, some do) and make sure to be grounded with some kind of anti-static device. I did a livestream of extracting the CPU out of the Predator Orion, not really helpful for installing a cooler in that system, but there are tons of tutorials out there, it's how I learned how to do it, too! Good luck!
