We have to solder any type of spice at work. Currently have a butane soldering iron and my Milwaukee and 12. Looking for something a little bit smaller and portable. Kit looks great! Lots of good ideas. Thank you for sharing.
I like to roll the solder into and empty pen for travel size, then just refill it more often. The wax paper backing that stickers come attached too is a nice thing to fold over your blue tack.
Hey, I really liked this video..... I have been putting off setting up my kit because I would normally just do this at home... However, I guess you could say that I am all in on FPV! Thanks JB.
For a good portable power source I use one for my Lenovo laptop with a rectangular plug. Very available at a good price and various watt ratings and serves a dual role. The key is you need a female rectangle to barrel adapter.
Great video, Bardwell! Little tip, you should totally glue a little magnet to the top of your brass sponge case. That way you can put all your screws in the top like a tray while you solder
It is absolutely powerable from usb qc 3.0. I have one in my car that I used to power the pinecil. Got 15v, 1 amp.. 15w... Not fast heating, but good enough to pull wires out of a through hole.
I Just learned how to solder. I wasn’t getting it by watching a lot of videos until I watched yours. Even after that - I couldn’t get a good joint until i tried kester solder. Awesome tip - I was ready to give up cause I thought I was just terrible. Now that I know how - I was looking at a field kit for this summer. Good timing and thanks jb.
@@RandoManFPV Fast foward this last year and i solder really big stuff and really tiny stuff easily. Just took a few mistakes along the way. Last week i repaired a whoop motor where the wire came off the motor. Super tiny spot.
Tic Tac Solder Dispenser. This should be in your portable soldering kit, an early 3D print design of mine which is very popular, 11000+ downloads for the 16g UK one, also made one for the 29g US boxes.
Awesome tips, Joshua! Thanks a bunch! 😊 One of those tweezers that holds the wire when you let it go are great as well! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hey Joshua, Thanks for the awesome video. I'm about to buy this soldering iron. Can you recommend a battery for it? I know you said "5S" but is there a link to the battery you recommend? -Duane
My first Pinecil stopped working because I used it with 6s (I then noticed the voltage range lol) because I always use 6s with my TS100. It worked for awhile but after awhile just went dead so I wouldn't recommend it
Get an adapter from 5,5x2,1mm female to 5,5x2,5mm male so you can use the cable from your DJI FPV goggle. That saves some space in your bag, cuz you dont need to carry another cable
This video should be updated due to the wrong info on PINE64. It was cloned and flooded by PRC companies now. The pinecil already changed its product line and selling it only on Amazon. V2 has some undocumented high power features. JB is always busy but out dated.
This video was up-to-date when I released it 7 months ago. I have thousands of videos so it's not always possible to update all of them with the latest info. It's always necessary on YT to check the date of a video and look at multiple sources to see if updated information is available. I'm happy to heart your comment so that it goes to the top of the comments section and people are more likely to see it.
@@JoshuaBardwell More hot stuff lies on a Discord channel. No public 2.20 beta firmware yet. What's going on? It's no open source at all now. 2.20 beta supports USB PD EPR with 140W power. They changed some chip communication issues with it and it was out on the last September. In 2 months, no open update. hahaha. It took me a few hours to dig into the discord channel.
I’m a little confused, I have an Anker 10k PD charger for my phone. This will work to run this iron off USB-C? Is 10k mah minuscule or is it ok for small quick things?
I only have 6s packs and I'd rather be on the safe side for powering the iron, Is there some sort of a voltage regulator I could have in series between the lipo and iron ?
I looked around and unless you want to build your own (Mouser has some 20V/2A switched-mode power supply chips that would probably do the job), your best bet is probably to get a power bank that does the 20V PD spec, or just carry a 5S battery for the iron. (A 3~5 Ah 5S pack would let you field charge a few flight packs as well.) JB also powered a Pinecil off a SpeedyBee adapter in his review vid, you're not going to get great performance at 20W but it looks like it would work in a pinch.
You don't have any other size of lipo? If not, you're missing out big time! The 2s and 3s micro quads are some of the most fun to fly in all of FPV! AND, you can fly them almost anywhere ... At a park a few minutes from your house! With no complaints from KARENS either. Try them, you'll love them! 😎🤘
No tweezers (flat one & pointed right angled) & Blutack ?! 😅 SH72 costs 15 €.. This one you're showing costs 25 € + 30 € shipping lol (better buy the max amount, which is three.. Still 30 € shipping..)
tried the multimeter - Ima just say I'm disappointment in that choice, it's absolute low quality trash lol, insta-returned EDIT: Ya know I meant to return it but immediately needed it since I had it on me and it is pretty convenient for being so small. Would be nice to be in a better material and I have a hard time fitting the leads back in.
Awesome kit, thank you for sharing it with us! Between the details in your video and (my original inspiration) Glytch's 'hardware hacking kit' I put together my own field soldering kit to add to my low-voltage toolbag. I put together a video on it here: th-cam.com/video/49hrAPGYxv0/w-d-xo.html. Something i wanted to share: while putting the kit together I figured out that given how malleable the brass wire cleaning sponges are, they can fit into a regular Altoids tin (which is what I ended up using). I had actually ordered some of the tins you referenced but was impatient and kept thinking I must have something on-hand that would work which is how I figured out an Altoids tin would fit them nicely. Oh, made my choice on which flux pen to get based on your selection as well, thank you for that! Amusingly I already had the same solder - but I guess that isn't too surprising, Kester is a good brand for it.
Great video. But if the company is called pine, their power bricks and adapters are called pine-power, why would you assume their soldering iron is called pinnecile instead of pine-cil, which is obviously a play on words from pencil and their company name pine

Those 9 extra screw-on-lid cans sound like a nice little addition to your upcoming give-aways!

That's kind of cool actually.
For the barrel connector. You need a 90 Deg adapter! So much better 👍
Oooh, USB C or barrel plug on the PInecil. Didn't know it had the option for both. That's pretty slick.

Always Stay away from cheap Chinese solder.
What iron did you go with and how did it work for you?
New to soldering, never soldered anything yet

@@wesley4713 awesome! So you ecided to order the iron shown in this video?

Ever use sal ammoniac for cleaning soldering iron tips? It’s a pretty old school thing but is amazing. I recommend trying it out.
Awesome tips, Joshua! Thanks a bunch! 😊

Another great video, i feel like I've one again learned something that I thought I knew.
Slap a "JB" (maybe a cheat sheet chart or something?) PVC label on those extra tins and a brass sponges inside; then sell 'em. I'd buy.
Why don't you do it then? You set it up, prototype it, show JB and give him a cut, both win.
My first Pinecil stopped working because I used it with 6s (I then noticed the voltage range lol) because I always use 6s with my TS100. It worked for awhile but after awhile just went dead so I wouldn't recommend it
Pine64 has silicone USB C to C cables so you can buy both at the same time.
Hi JB. How about all the screwdriver for travel? What do you take with you?
Hey JB, as always a great video. IMO you are missing side cutters from your kit :) great kit thou! and maybe a little spool of wire
You're right! Those are in my regular toolkit not my soldering kit. But they're essential!
Wish I would’ve known about that new soldering iron. I just bought a ts100 a couple months ago
Flash the software and you will have the same thing. Even if you have the older ts100 and not ts101, you only miss the usb c.
Review everything. I’ll watch it.
Blu Tack - you want the light-blue stuff made by Bostik, it's superior to that darker blue stuff.
JB, what portable USB Soldering And Cooling Fan do you Use and Recommend? 🤔
Should have tested fnirsi hs-02 an amazing iron with a cap
How about a video on how you transport your batteries?
Get an adapter from 5,5x2,1mm female to 5,5x2,5mm male so you can use the cable from your DJI FPV goggle. That saves some space in your bag, cuz you dont need to carry another cable
Also I watched your review if you limit how much it draws in the menu? Why would it draw more if set to 20?

Excellent
I don't see anything in the description about the firmware did it not come to fruition?

@@KOrnhOliO1 I'm sure I'll build something similar to a TP3 at some point but won't the lipos be tiny anyway? Will there be enough capacity in those?

Joshua r you shore about tips wich u saying u use? because looks difernt i mean obviously u can see wich is used and wich not
Ayo no way I’m literally looking for one
