URPOWER Bluetooth Selfie Stick Review and Hand-On





I think Selfie sticks are the coolest thing since sliced
bread! Yes... I said it out loud! :) My previous selfie stick was a "wired"
variety, this new one from URPOWER is Bluetooth powered.

This URPOWER "Monopod" aka Selfie Stick is really,
really nice. It comes with things that most others do not include. It comes
with a small pouch... that I don't know what you would use it for with this
stick. It also comes with *two* cradles for different sized phones. I think
that is a great touch.

This Selfie Stick (Monopod) is really well made. It seems to
be pretty solid, and it should stand up to some use. Pairing my phone to the
monopod via Bluetooth was really easy. I attached the larger of the 2 cradles
(I have a Note 4). I was easily able to place my phone, and use the monopod to
take images with no problems. My phone responded each and every time.

I felt very confident that my phone was securely nestled in
the cradle. You can see from my attached video that I was moving around quite a
bit, and it stayed secure.

The stick extends out to 41 inches (about 3.5 feet). In
folds down into about 9 inches (without the cradle attached). There are two
adjustment screws to fix the phones angle. These lock down pretty tight with no
movement.

PROS:
- 2 cradles for different phone sizes.
- Carrying pouch
- Sturdy build
- Inexpensive
- Pairs easily via Bluetooth
- Light weight

CONS:
- None Noted.

URPOWER sent me this monopod in exchange for an unbiased
review.

Aukey Qualcomm Quick Charger and Micro USB Cable Review and Hand-On



















More and more of the newest flagship Android cell phones are
utilizing Qualcomm's Quick Charging standard. And now the accessory
manufacturers are now starting to catchup and making 3rd party adapters that
now can quickly charge our phones. We all have a few spare charges...one for
the house, one for the office, and one for traveling.

Aukey just released their Qualcomm 2.0 compatible quick
charger. It is a super solid device. Well made, and aesthetically pleasing. It
comes packed with the following specs: Qualcomm® Quick Charge 2.0 Technology.
5V/2.1A, 9V/1.8A, 12V/1.35AUL Certified. This charger easily charged my device in about
an hour from 1/4 power.

You *NEED* to make sure you are using a quality USB calbe
with this!!! I used a "thin" USB cable, and I could not get my Note 4
to register that it was charging with an "Adaptive Charging Device".


When I switch to one I used one of the Aukey supplied 3.9ft MicroUSB cable with
the Quick Charger, and my phone loved it! The adaptive charging kicked in, and
juiced right up.

Aukey sent me one of their 3 pack of Micro USB charging/sync
cables. and I love them. You seriously can never have too many USB cables...
and I right? These are really well made, and come with an 18 month warranty. So
you can't lose.

Specs on these cables are: 480-Mbps transmission speed,
error-free data transmission, and fast charging speed.

This is a great combination, and I strongly recommend buying
the two together.
